GARTERS WHITE STAND-UP WHEAT 



Is the most popular white Wheat in cultivation, resisting the heaviest storms 

 of wind and rain without being layered or broken down (see below). 



The grain is firmly set, and not easily shaken out. It is very prolific, and thrives upon soils where 

 many varieties of Wheats cannot be satisfactorily cultivated ; it is also specially recommended by many 

 who have grown it for sowing upon rich alluvials and clays. We feel too much cannot be said in favour 

 of this variety as a level,. heavy-cropping, storm-resisting, and fine constitutioned Wheat. 



Price, 9s. per bushel, 70s. per quarter, carnage free. Sow 2 bushels per acre. 



" I have grown 100 acres of White Stand-up 

 annually for the last three years, and find there is 

 no wheat to equal it for yield, strength, and quality 



of straw. It resists storms far better than 

 any wheat I have tried." 



Mr. W. E. MANN. 



" The Stand-up Wheat I had from you last year 

 stood up perfectry all through this excep- 

 tionally wet Summer in a district (the Fens} 

 w here nearly every crop of wheat was quite flat at 

 the end of July." 



Mr. E. W. SHEPPERTON. 



From Professor WINTER'S Report of Wheat Trials in North Wales.

GARTERS RED STAND-UP WHEAT. 



Although a little taller in growth than our White Stand-up, it bears close 

 affinity to that popular variety. The grain is very thin skinned, and from most 

 wheat soils it carries that delicate translucent appearance so much liked by millers. 



Stock very limited. Price, so long as it lasts — 



10s. 6d. per bushel, 80s. per quarter, carriage free. Sow 2 bushels per acre. 



IMPORTANT TESTIMONY, 



'•The quarter of Red Stand-up that we purchased from you last year has produced 20 quarters of very 

 good seed. ■ We tried it against two other kinds we bought, and they came ou' as follows : — 

 Plot i. Carters Red Stand-up — 20 quarters from 1 quarter of seed. 

 " PLOT 2. Another firm's variety — 14 quarters from 1 quarter of seed. 

 " Plot 3. Another variety — 113 quarters from r quarter of seed. 



"The plots were tilled alike." Mr. R. WILSON, Water Fulford.
