WHEAT 
Jones’ Red Wave (Beardless). 
After two years trial this Grand Wheat has fully maintained the 
good opinion expressed when first sent out in 1906. Customers 
in all winter wheat growing sections know tlie Jones wieats wierever 
sown have made a grand record, and will be pleased to Lear of t.-is 
fine Bald Red variety. It is a cross between early Red Clawson 
and an unna-~ed crossbreed of Rrssian parentage. All progressive 
farmers should give this sort a trial, as seed of this will be in great 
ce-zand as soon as known, and t..:ose wio are fortunate enouga to 
lave a field in 1903, will find it to be a profitable invest:: ent. lt 
is a bald Brown-chaff, dark medium long, large grain; Leads very 
long and broad, filled with medium, long, large, hard, daik 
kermels, rich in gluten. Straw, golden; above n-edium heig_t, 
stocky, very strong, thick walled and not liable to go down; heads 
sligatly leaning, hence not liable: to sprout in the field. This va- 
riety last season gave a yield of 49 bus..els and 2 pounds per acre 
in a field, tie balance of wi:ich was sown to Lawson Golden Ci.aff 
that produced only 27 bushels per acre. Part of the first swath 
between the two going into the Dawson for fear of stray heads of 
Dawson; also rakings adjoining, thus cutting the yield nearly a 
bushel. A plot on trial grounds 1} by 2 rods square produced at 
the rate of 63 bushels and 5 pounds peracre. Price, $1.00 per peck; 
$1.75 per 4 bushel; $3.00 per bushel. 10 bush. and upwards $2.75. 
Early Red Chief (Beardless). 
A very superior Wheat, originating from Early Red Clawson 
and Red Arcadian. Early Red C..ief can be depended upon for a 
granary filler even in unfavorable seasons. Strong-growing and 
productive, its growth in the fall is strong, foliage large, ti.ick and 
dark, covering the sround early in the season, and can be sown 
very late. The first to start in spring. Straw thick-walled; strong 
heads, long and wide, carried erect, of a reddish-brown shade, com- 
pletely packed with large, dark red kernels. Price, 10c. per lb. 
75c. per peck, $2.40 per bushel. 10 bush. lots $2.25. 
Silver Sheaf Longberry Red (Bearded). 
The most perfect Longberry Red Wheat grown. A cross be- 
tween American Bronze, Lancaster and a Longberry, it is one of 
tne hardiest; a strong, healthy grower and can be sown late. If 
sown early, 14 bushels of seed per acre will be enovgh on strong 
soil. Straw medium tall, thick-walled and strong; kead long, wice 
aad full; chaff thin and silvery-white; grain large, dark and fliaty, 
and nearly as long as rye kernels. It will be the leading fancy 
r-illing wheat. Price, 10c. per lb., 75c. per peck, $2.40 per bushel. 
10 bush. lots, $2.25, 
“Bearded” Rural New Yorker (No. 57). 
Heavily-bearded syme etrical heads, broad in the middle and 
tapering at eacn end; straw unusually tall, strong and stools freely, 
frequently having 35 to 40 stalks from a siagle grain: heads co.-- 
Pact, averaging three kernels to a “ breast.’’ and ten breasts to 
a side; kernels of medium size; color, reddish-a~ber, possessing 
te requisite hardness for tte finest grade of flour; chaff w ite 
with a trace of velvet sufficient to make it difficult for the green 
fly to attack it, and the heads do not rildew as the full velvet 
chaff varieties are liable to do. Price, 10c. per 1b., 75c. per peck, 
$2.40 per bushel; 10-bushe" lots, $2.25 per bushel. 
Bearded Winter Fife. 
A grand Wheat, an advance in quality, productiveness and 
flinty grain. The hardest Wheat of all; rilling qualities supe- 
rior, making quick-raising flour of chalk-like w? iteness and lic t 
bread; one of the earliest Wi-eats; a strong, healthy grower, stool- 
ing rapicly in the fall; starts early in t!e spring. Straw above 
medium height, strong and wiry; keads long, wide and well filled; 
chaff white and bearded grain medium long, plump and of clear 
amber shade; bran exceptionally thin, hence will make more florr 
than almost any sort; one of the heaviest-weig! ing sorts. It took 
the first place at the Kentucky Experiment Station over seven- 
teen other varieties. Price, 10c. per lb., 70c. per peck, $2.25 per 
bushel; 10-buskel lots, $2.15 per bushel. 
(Pedigree Giant (Early Genesee). 
(Half-Bearded.) 
A wonder in the Wheat line for thrifty fall growth, early spring 
stooling, strong, short-jointed straw, solid filled heads, very larce 
fine, hard, a~ber grain and exceptionally fine rilling qualities 
On strong clay loam or river bottom it has yielded at the rate 
of 604 bushels per acre, and stands up well under high ctltture. 
Can be sown very late with a certainty of standing the winter 
and gives an enor~ous yield. Sow late and use two bustels of 
seel per ac-e. Price, 10c. per lb., 75c. per peck, $2.40 per bushel; 
10 bzs el lots, $2.25 per bus el. 
BEARDLESS 
RURAL NEW YORKER 
WHEAT. 
(No. 6.) 
“Beardless” Rural New Yorker (No. 6). 
A handso~e, beardless Wheat. It succeeds and produces heavy 
crops on poor, tuin land, where Wheat could not be successiully 
or profitably grown, and it also has extreme hardiness to recom- 
mendit. ‘the straw is thick and strong, easily supporting the heavy 
grain without breaking. The large amber keels are placed four 
to a breast, eight breasts to a side, with long symmetrical head 
laving a brown chaff. (See cut.) Price, 10c. per lb., 75c. per peck, 
$2.40 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.25 per bushel. 
Gold Coin (Beardless). 
A very popular Wheat over a large extent of territory. It is 
unusually productive, having yielued over 60 bushels per acre— 
while 50 and over is not unusual—and even on large acreages it 
seldom runs under 40 bushels per acre. 
‘the straw is very stiff and does not lodge even on the richest 
land. The head is long and compactly filled with choice white 
grain, frequently having five kernels abreast. Puice, 10c. per Ib., 
70c. per peck, $2.25 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.15 per bushel. 
Jones’ Bearded Longberry (No. ). 
A grand variety, productive and hardy. It has made a record 
of 544 bushels per acre; sturdy, wiry straw of good length, not 
liable to lodge; heads long, wide and well filled, bearded and of 
a tich brown shade; kernels large and long, of blended red and 
av ber; high milling character and of requisite hardness for fine 
grade flour. Especially adapted for late sowing, giving large 
yields when sown in October. Price, 10c. per lb., 75c. per peck, 
$2.40 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.25 per bushel. 
Pride of Genesee (Bearded.) 
Very productive, having a long, well filled head; it will give a 
reasonably good crop on land so poor that common sorts would be 
a failure, as the head does not decrease in proportion to the straw, 
being large and well filled on a very short, light growth of straw. 
Price, 10c. per lb., 75c. per peck, $2.40 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, 
$2.25 per bushel. 
Clawson Longberry (Beardless). 
A grand cross-bred Longberry, a strong grower, prolific stooler, 
and has sturdy, wiry straw. Heads long, wide and full; chaff, 
brown and free from beards; grain, dark amber of the finest qual- 
ity, large, long, and of true Longberry type. It delights in strong 
clay loam, and on such soil, with thorough preparation, it will 
often yield fifty bushels or more per acre. Sow 14 bushels per acre. 
Price, 10c. per lb., 75c. per peck, $2.40 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, 
$2.25 per bushel. 
RYE 
Is a valuable crop for either soiling, green fodder, straw or grain. 
It is largely used by farmers to seed down with in the fall, and 
is considered preferable to Wheat for this purpose, as it protects 
1-e young grass and matures two weeks earlier in the summer 
than Wieat. It is also extensively used for fall pasture when 
sown early and for cutting green in late spring and early summer, 
but wlen wanted for cutting it is best sown with the sand or winter 
vetc>. 
WINTER. The variety commonly cultivated for grain, straw 
or cutting green. Price, $1.40 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, 
$1.°0 per bushel. 
EXCELSIOR WINTER. A Vermont variety that has yielded 
from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Price, $1.60 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 
10-br:stel lots, $1.50 per bushel. 
THOUSANDFOLD. Most productive, straw tal! and strong, with 
long, heavy heads, and stands up well. Especially recommenced 
were Rye is grown more for the straw than the grain. Price, 
$1.C0 per bus*el of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.50 per bushel. 
GIANT WINTER. The heaviest cropping Rye in existence, 
having in fair tests outyielded all other varieties both in straw 
and g-ain. The heads average six to eight inches in length and 
are filled from end to end with large, plump, heavy grains. The 
straw is giant in length and strength, of extraordinary stiffness, 
resisting severe wind and rain storms to a remarkable degree with- 
o::t lodging. Price, $1.75 per bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, 
$1.60 per bushel. 
OATS 
WINTER OR TURE are quite extensively grown in the Southern 
States, where they are in high favor. Sown in the fall they either 
afford excellent pasturage during the winter or give abundant 
yield the following season. The demand for oats of this character 
nas been gradually extending northward, and to meet it we have 
been growing in Northern Pennsylvania, for several years, an 
acclimatized strain which is remarkably hardy and will stand tke 
winter as far north as New Jersev. They are incomparably superior 
to te winter or Turf Oats of Virginia, they stool out strongly, are 
earlier, more vigorous and less susceptible to mist; they have stiff 
straw, stand up well, and are much more productive than Spring 
Oats. Sow in September, at the rate of 14 bushels per acre, and sow 
deep. They will stand much more severe weather when planted forr 
inc es deep than near the surface. Price 40c. per peck, $1.25 per 
bus el (32 lbs.); 10-bustel lots and unwar-es, £1.90 per bushel.
