WHEAT. 
NEW EARLY RED CHIEF (Beardless). 
A very superior new Wheat, originating from Early Red Claw- 
son and Red Arcadian. Early Red Chief can be depended upon 
for a granary filler even in unfavorable seasons. Strong-growing 
and productive, its growth in the fall is strong, foliage large, thick 
and dark, covering the ground early in the season, and can be 
sown very late. The first to start in spring. Straw thick-walled; 
strong heads, long and wide, carried erect, of a reddish-bro 
shade, completely packed with large, dark red kernels. Price, 
lic. per lb., 80c. per peck, $2.50 per bushel. 
NEW SILVER SHEAF LONGBERRY RED. 
(Bearded.) 
The most perfect Longberry Red Wheat grown. A cross be- 
tween American Bronze, Lancaster and a Longberry, it is one of 
the hardiest; a strong, healthy grower and can be sown late. If 
sown early, 14 bushels of seed per acre will be enough on strong 
soil. Straw medium tall, thick-walled and strong; head lony, 
vide and full; chaff thin and silvery-white; grain large, dark and 
flinty, and nearly as lone as rye kernels. It will be the leading 
fancy milling wheat. Price, 15c. per lb., 80c. per peck, $2.50 per 
bushel. 
“ BEARDED ” RURAL NEW YORKER. 
(Number 57.) 
Heaviiy-bearded symmetrical heads, broad in the middle and 
tapering at each end; straw unusually tall, strong and stools freely, 
frequently having 35 to 40 stalks from a single grain; heads com- 
pact, averaging three kernels to a “‘ breast,” and ten breasts to 
» side; kernels of medium size; color, reddish-amber, possessing 
the requisite hardness for the finest grade of flour; chaff white, 
with a trace of velvet sufficient to make it difficult for the green 
fly to attack it, and the heads do not mildew as the full velvet 
chaff varieties are liable to do. Price, 15c. per lb., 80c. per peck, 
$2.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.25 per bushel. 
“BEARDLESS ” RURAL NEW YORKER. 
(Number 6.) 
A handsome, beardless Wheat. It succeeds and prqduces heavy 
crops on poor, thin land, where Wheat could not be successfully 
or profitably grown, and it also has extreme hardiness to recom- 
mend it. The straw 1s thick and strong, easily supporting the heavy 
grain without breaking. The large amber kernels are placed four 
to a breast, eight breasts to a side, with long symmetrical heads 
having a brown chaff. (See cut.) 
“Tt stools as strong as any Wheat I ever saw. It had a vigorous 
healthy growth all the season, and stood well wttheut lodging. Jt ¢s 
very hardy. 
Price, lic. per lb, 
lots, $2.25 per bushel. 
BEARDED WINTER FIFE. 
A grand Wheat, an advance in quality, productiveness and 
flinty grain. The hardest Wheat of all; milling qualities supe- 
rior, making quick-raising flour of chalk-like whiteness and light 
bread; one of the earliest Wheats; a strong, healthy grower, stool- 
ing rapidly in the fall; starts early in the spring. Straw above 
medium height, strong and wiry; heads long, wide and well filled; 
chaf white and bearded; grain medium long, plump and of clear 
amber shade; bran exceptionally thin, hence will make more flour 
than almost any sort; one of the heaviest-weighing sorts. It took 
the first place at the Kentucky Experiment Station over seven- 
teen other varieties. Price, 15c. per lb., 75c. per peck, $2.15 per 
bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 per bushel. 
80c. per peck, $2.50 per bushel; 10-bushel 
GOLD COIN (Beardless). 
A very popular Wheat over a large extent of territory. It is 
unusually productive, having yielded over 60 bushels per acre— 
vhile 50 and over is not unusual—and even on large acreages it 
seldom runs under 40 bushels per acre. 
“Tt is the best variety for yielding and standimg up ever placed 
fore the American jarmer, and fairly crowds out other kinds where 
tt has been tried in this section. 
“ Clawson_and Fije do well on my farm, but the Gald Coin does 
‘st of ali. You should call it ‘ Henderson's Best of All Wheat.’" 
The straw is very stiff and does not lodge even on the richest 
land, The head is long and compactly filled with choice white 
grain, frequently having five kernels abreast. Price, lic. per 1h., 
75c. per peck, $2.15 pez bushel; 10-bushel lots, 32.00 per bushel.

PRIDE OF GENESEE (Bearded.) 
Very productive, having a long, well filled head; it will give a 
reasonably good crop on land so poor that common sorts would be 
a failure, as the head does not decrease in proportion to the straw, 
being large and well filled on a very short, light growth of straw.

Price, 15c. per lb., 80c. per peck, $2.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, 
$2.25 per bushel. 
RY 
{s a valuable crop for either soiling, green fodder, straw or grain. 
[t is largely used by farmers to seed down with in the fall, and 
is considered preferable to Wheat for this purpose, as it protects 
the young grass and matures two weeks earlier in the summer 
than Wheat. It is also extensively used for fall pasture when 
sown early and tor cutting green in late spring and early summer, 
but when wanted for cutting it is best sown with the sand or winter 
vetch.

mended where Rye is grown more for the straw than the grain.

OATS. 
WINTER OR TURE are quite extensively grown in the Southern 
States, where they are in high favor. Sown in the fall they eithe 
afford excellent pasturage during the winter or give abundan 
yield the following season. The demand for oats of this characte’ 
has been gradually extending northward, and to meet it we hav 
been growing in Northern Pennsylvania, for several years, a’ 
acclimatized strain which is remarkably hardy and wiil stand thi 
winter as far north as New Jersey. They are incomparably supe
