liVINXBR ^WHBAX.— Continued. 



Jones' ^Winter Fife. — (Bald.) Without doubt the best No. i hard gluten sort 

 of the East, being to the Eastern Winter Wheat sections what the No. i Hard Spring is 

 to the North west; excelling in the amount of gluten even the noted Saskatchewan Spring 

 Fife, the pride of all North-western millers. Millers in the Winter \N heat sections are 

 obliged to use a certain amount of Spring Fife to obtain gluten, in which our common 

 sorts are in a degree deficient, and without which it is impossible to compete with the 

 Spring Wheat sections. But with this sort in genersl cultivation -.ve can compete inith the 

 highest grade of flour kno-mt. It is a very Strong grower, covering the ground early in the 

 season, requiring light seeding on rich soil, Grain of medium size; requires to be left 

 until fully ripe before being harvested, and does not shell in the field. S2.00 bush ; 

 10 bush, lots, $1.80 bush. 



Bearded "Winter Fife.— A grand new bearded Wheat which has all the 

 splendid 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, stooling 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. $i. 00 peck; 

 $3.00 bush.; 10 bush lots, $2.75 bush. 



L,ong° Amtter. — (Bald.) Is a strong healthy grower, and is perfectly hardy, 

 even on bleak hillsides or low, moist soils, and with the exception of Rural New Yorker 

 No. 6, is less liable than any other Wheat to- kill out where flooded with water. The 

 grain is hard and of a clear, light amber shade, and will be a popular sort with millers, 

 being very rich in gluten. It has a straw of great strength and not liable to scatter or 

 break before ripe, standing like a reed through severe wind storms, and is exceptionally 

 free from rust, mildew and blight. $1 00 peck ; $2.75 bush.; 10 bush, lots, $2.50 bush. 



Pride of Genesee. — (Bearded.) This is one of the most productive varieties, 

 having a long, well filled head, and the fact that it will give a reasonably good crop on 

 land so poor that common sorts would be a failure, cannot fail to make it a popular sort, 

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

 a very short, light growth of straw. If sown on strong wheat land, it will require less 

 seed per acre than any other variety, 50 lbs. . being ample if the field is fitted as it .should 

 be and is sown early in Sept. It requires to be harvested before getting over-ripe, to 

 prevent loss by scattering in the field. It is noticeably free from attack of the fly, and 

 can be sown very late with the certainty of a good crop. $2.50 bush.; 10 bush, lots, 

 $2.25 bush. 



O A X S.= 



"Winter.— We offer a remarkably hardy stock of Winter or Turf Oats which we have 

 grown for six years past, being of about the same hardiness as Scarlet Clover. In fa- 

 vorable seasons it will winter as far North as New York, and is invariably hardy, New 

 Jersey southwards. They produce a much heavier and longer straw than Spring Oats; 

 stool thickly, are entirely rust proof and never lodge. All farmers south of New York 

 should try an acre or more. Sow 2 bush, per acre. $1.25 per bush., 10 bush, and 

 upwards $1. 10 per bush. 



RYE 



"Winter. — The variety 

 fei.oo bush. 



most commonly cultivated. $1.10 bush.; 10 bush, lots. 



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. $1.50 bush ; 10 bush, lots, $1.40 bush. 



Thousandfold.— Said to be the most productive Rye in cultivation $1.50 bush. ; 

 10 bush, lots, 11.40 bush. 



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

 in fair tests outyielded all other varieties both in straw and grain. The heads average 

 six to eight inches in length and are filled from end to end with large, plump heav)- 

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

 resisting ."^evere wind and rain storms to a remarkable degree without lodging. ^^See 

 cut.) |2.oo per bush.; 10 bush, lots, I1.75 per bush.
