The White Russian Wheat was first grown in 

 Wisconsin It was increased from a small quan- 

 tity received from Russia, and has been known as 

 the White Russian, although it is not exactly 

 white, but is of much lighter color [than most 

 varieties of Spring Wheat. 



The White Russian Wheat is a bald white 

 chaff wheat and has proved itself to be the best 

 Spring Wheat ever grown in Wisconsin. From 

 the reports of those who tried it last j^ear, it will 

 be seen that all were more than satisfied with the 

 wheat. No wheat ever tried in this country re- 

 ceived such unanimous commendation as this 

 wheat has from those who tried it. The W^hite 

 Russian Wheat astonished all who sowed it 

 Such long straight strong healthy, yellow straw, 

 standing straight several days after ripening, and 

 bearing large, long white chaff heads, well filled 

 with plump kernels weighing oftentimes from 60 

 to 62 pounds to the measured bushel and the 

 wheat producing from five to ten bushels more ' 

 per acre than other once well thought of varieties 

 that are now fast running out, as all wheat does ^* 

 after being sown a long series of years under the 

 influence of the same soil and climate As scon 

 as the White Russian Wheat is fully distributed, 

 it is destined to crowd out to a great extent other 

 varieties, and will become the staple SpRiNa 

 W^HEAT of the United States for a term of years, 

 until other new varieties take its place. 



The AYhite Russian Wheat stands well after 

 being ripe^ and it has shown itself to be a wheat 

 not liable to lodge when green, or rust; it is de- 

 cidedly a healthy and sure crop wheat, that has 

 in many cases produced a full average crop where 

 other varieties along side of it have failed.
