WHEAT 
LEAP’S PROLIFIC.—A splendid new variety, originating in the Shenandoah Valley. It is remarkable 
for its productiveness and fine quality of grain. The grain is flintier and of better milling qualities than 
the ordinary varieties. It is very uniform in its growth, stiff-strawed, healthy, strong grower and early to 
tipen. One thing particularly noticeable about this variety is its stooling qualities, it being particularly 
superior in this respect, producing more stalks to plant than the ordinary wheat. This, with the fine long 
heads which it produces, means an increase in productiveness, and farmers who have sown this variety 
are enthusiastic in its praise, claiming it to be the best and most-productive variety, now on the market. 
‘PURPLE STRAW, or BLUE STEM.—A fine productive Wheat, in high flavor in the South. Makes 
very best quality flour. We are very careful in securing this seed which we offer to get them from the best 
and largest-yielding crops grown throughout this section, and we have received the most flattering reports 
from our customers as to the large and satisfactory yields obtained from our seed.
