FRENCH liyiPERIAL SPRING. 



This wheat has proven itself a most desirable variety. It possesses, in a greater degree than 

 almost any other kind, the quality of filling out plump, hard, extra No. I wheat, weighing the 

 last two seasons, 62 to 64 lbs, per measured bushel, even in localities where nearly all other 

 varieties filled poorly. It is w^ell adapted to rather poor soils, or soils of only ordinary richness, 

 producing on such lands good crops of No. I hard wheat. The kernel is very large and plump, 

 and of excellent milling quality. The wheat is vigorous and strong in its growth, 



Four Feet High, with Large, Heavy Heads Six Inches Long. 



From N. B. GOWIN, Waldo Co., Maine: 

 The French Imperial Spring Whe.\t I re- 

 ceived outdone all kinds of wheat, yielding 

 three times the quantity per acre of all other 

 kinds, and grov.ing 4 feet high, with large, 

 heav}- heads 6 inches long and well filled; also, 

 large, hea^•y straw. I had a bundle on exhi- 



bition which attracted a good deal of attention, 

 and all said it was the best wheat they ever 

 saw, and they never saw any wheat like it be- 

 fore. We had a severe drought, which about 

 rained our wheat crop, but the French Impe- 

 rial Spring Wheat grew finely, and filled out 

 full and plump. 



Forty-Three Bushels of Sixty-Six Pound Wheat to the Acre. 



From JOHN McMAHAX. Crookston, Polk 1 

 Co., Minn. : In regard to the bushel of French 

 Imperi.\l Spring Wheat I received, I think 

 it can't be beat, I sowed it on not quite an ' 

 acre of ground, and I raised 37 bushels of ; 

 wheat, heaping measure, from the threshing 

 machine. The wheat was so plump and hea%y 

 that, when tested, it went 66 pounds to the 



level measured bushel, and when the whole 37 

 bu.shels, heaping measure, were weighed, it 

 made 43 bushels of hard, extra No. I wheat. 

 The wheat stood up well. I sowed the same 

 day. on the same kind of land, Fife Wheat, 

 which yielded me 26 bushels per acre — i. e. ij 

 bushels per acre less than the French Impe- 

 rial.
