PETER HENDERSON & CO;, NEW YORK. WIXTKK WHEAT. "ATS AM IW 



WINTER WHEAT -continued. 



Pride of Genesee (Bearded). -One of the most productive parities, having a long, 

 well-filled head, and the fact that it will five a reasonably good crop on land so poor 

 that common sorts would be a failure, cannot fail to make it a popular sort, as tin- 

 head does not decrease in proportion to the straw, being large and well filled on a 

 very short, light growth of straw. 75c. peck, S2. 25 bushel; 10-bushel lots, -2.no bushel. 



Clawson Longberry (Bald). — Resembles in some respects the old favorite Red Clawson, 

 but is a stronger grower and more prolific stooler, has a sturdy, thick-walled, wiry 

 straw of a light yellow shade. Grain dark amber, large and of the true Longberry 

 type. It has been largely tried by some of the best wheat "rowers, by whom it is 

 highly recommended. This variety will be popular for a number of years to come, 

 and those who grow it will find a ready demand for their crop at paying prices for 

 seed purposes. S2.25 bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, S2.00 bushel. 



Fortyfold (Bald). — Was first brought to our notice by one of the largest Wheat growers 

 of Pennsylvania, who claimed it to be the best yielder among all the varieties he has 

 grown. It is of very vigorous growth, remarkably hardy and stands severe winters 

 and dry weather better than any other variety. It has very stiff straw and a large 

 handsome white grain. It does well on all kinds of soil and is therefore a very safe 

 variety to grow. 75c. peck, S2.25 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 bushel. 



Bearded Winter Fife. — A grand new bearded Wheat, which has all the splen- 

 did milling qualities of the celebrated Winter Fife, and is even hardier and more 

 flinty in the grain. It is one of the earliest wheats, ripening along with the Early 

 Red Clawson, and is a very strong, healthy grower, stool ing rapidly in the fall. It 

 starts early in spring, and is among the first to head. Straw is strong and above 

 the medium height. The heads are long and wide, with white velvety chaff. The 

 grain is large, medium long and plump, and of a clear light amber shade. The bran 

 is exceptionally thin, hence it will make more flour than almost any other sort grown. 

 75c. peck, $2.00 bushel; 10-bushel lots, SI. 85 bushel. 



Gold Coin (Bald). — A very productive variety which in New York State has yielded 

 over b0 bushels per acre and even on large acreages has seldom run under 40 bushels 

 per acre. The grain is white, the head long iind well filled, frequently having five 

 kernels abreast. The straw is strong and stiff, and will not lodge on the richest 

 land. 75c. peck, S2.00 bushel; 10-bushel lots, Si. 85 bushel.

OATS. 



Winter. — The stock of Winter Oats we offer is remarkably hardy, having been 

 grown for some years past in Northern Pennsylvania, and are incomparably supe- 

 rior to the ordinary winter or turf oats of Virginia and the South. They are thorough- 

 ly acclimated and may be grown as far north as New York City with safety. Sown 

 in September they stool out remarkably and require but one and one-half bushels per 

 acre. They have stiff straw, stand up well and are much more productive than 

 spring oats. In spring if they appear to be frozen out, just wait, the roots are there 

 underneath the surface and grow rapidly when spring really sets in. 50c. peck, 

 SI. 10 bushel ; 10 bushels and upwards, SI. 00 bushel. 



RYE. 



Winter. — The variety most commonly cultivated. SI. 10 bu. ; 10-bu. lots, SI. 00 bu. 



Excelsior Winter. — A new variety from Vermont that has never failed to yield at the 

 rate of 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With the originator, a four-acre field yielded 52 

 bushels to the acre. SI. 50 bushel ; 10-bushel lots, 51.40 bushel. 



Thousandfold. Said to be the most productive Rye in cultivation. SI. 50 bushel : 

 10-bushel lots, SI. 40 bushel. 



Giant Winter.- Unquestionably the heaviest cropping Rye in existence, having in 

 fair tests outy ielded all other varieties l>< >th in straw and grain. The heads average' 

 six to eight inches in length and are filled from end to end with large, plump, hea\y 

 grains. The straw is giant in length and strength and of extraordinary stiffness, 

 resisting severe wind and Fain storms to a remarkable degree without lodging'. 

 (See cut.) $1.75 bushel ; 10-bushel BrfTs, 51.60 bushel.
