WINTER WHEAT AND RYE. 



RECLEANED SEED WHEATS, ESPECIALLY GROWN FOR SEED WHEATS. 



THE INTERNATIONAL No. 6. 

 (Bald.) 



(The most Productive Wheat for thin land.i 



A new Wheat which now occupies a first place amon.er 

 eadersand destined to supersede many of the most popu- 

 lar varieties. It makes a very stiff straw, which seldom 

 lodges, even on very rich soil. It produces heavy crops 

 on poor land, where most varieties of Wheat cannot be 

 successfully or profitably grown, and has the further 

 merit of being extremely hardy. On rich soil it yields 

 very heavy crops, and is not much inclined to shell when 

 overripe, as many varieties do. It stools very heavily. 

 In the section of New York State where many of the best 

 and most popular sorts of Winter Wheat were first in- 

 troduced the farmers are very enthusiasticinfavor of the 

 International No. 6. 



Peck, 75c; bushel, $2.00; 2% bushels, $4.50. 



EARLY GENESEE GIANT 

 (Half Bearded.) 



Remarkable for its thrifty fall growth and heavy 

 root, with the ability to withstand spring frosts and sum- 

 mer drought: stools out very early in spring: straw 

 strong and short-jointed; heads well filled with fine hard 

 amber grain of exceptionally fine milling qualities; is 

 very productive, yielding over 62 bushels to the acre. 



Peck, 60c; bushel, $1.75. 



BEARDED WINTER FIFE. 

 (Jones.) 



1 The Queen of all Winter Wheats.) 



A grand wheat possessing all the excellent qualities 

 of No. 1 Hard Spring for milling purposes, being very 

 hard and flinty in grain, thin husked, and remarkably 

 rich in gluten. It is very early ripening with early Eed 

 Clawson, and is a strong, healthy grower, stooling rapid- 

 ly in the fall. Starts early in sprinjr and is among the 

 first to head. Straw of medium height, very strong and 

 wiry and noticeably free from scattering in the field when ripe. This sort marks a great advance in 

 quality, productiveness, and flinty character of grain over the old and well-known Jones "Winter Fife. 

 It is the hardiest of all the Winter Wheats, and is one that will not freeze out or winter kill in any 

 of the Winter Wheat States. It is a grand yielder, averaging 40 to 45 bushels per acre.

THE INTERNATIONAL NO. 6. 



Peck, 50c; bushel $1.75; 2V2 bushels, $4.25. 



EARLY RED CLAWSON. (Bald.) 



The earliest Winter Wheat. This variety is a cross between Golden Cross and Clawson, and in- 

 herits all the good qualities of the parents — extreme hardiness, rapid growth, large kernels and enor- 

 mous productiveness. It is especially desirable for heavy clay soils, and when sown on rich ground 

 should be seeded very lightly, owing to its remarkable stooling propensities. 



Price, 50c per peck; $1.50 per bushel. 



RYE. 



Eye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. It is a paying crop, even 

 on poor sandy soils yielding as much as 35 bushels per acre, while on light rich soils it would not be too 

 much to expect up to 60 bushels per acre. It is also a very valuable crop to seed down Grasses with, 

 owing to the fact that it matures so early, giving the grasses a longer growing season after harvest- 

 ing. 



HUNGARIAN WINTER RYE. 



A variety of recent introduction, very strong strawed, seldom lodges, and is a great yielder, often 

 giving 50 to 60 bushels of very bold, handsome grain (much larger than the common Winter Rye), and 

 of superior milling qualities. 



Peck, 50c. Per bushel, $1.35. 



In small lots by mail add 8 cents per lb. for postage.
