A NEW WINTER WHEAT-WINTER PEARL. 



This rrew and promising variety is the result of an experiment made by 

 F. H. Horstord, of charlotte, Vermont, 1878, and is a cross between these 

 two well-known wheats, the Uielil and Clawsnn. The beads are beardless, 

 regular, and very handsome, five anil a half inches long with eighteen to 

 twenty breasts, of four- grains each. Kernels about the size of the Clawson, 

 har d, plump, and of a light amber color-, str aw, from three to five feet high, 

 bright yellow, strong and elastic; tillers freely, lorn heads having been 



c ted from one kernel. It mat tri es with Claw son. and has produced I he 



past season (1883) in Northern Vermont at the rate of forty-five bushels per 

 acre from one bushel of seed, and would doubtless have been even more 

 pr oductive in a better wheat country. Price by mad, trial packets (con- 

 taining 2 ozs.), 25 cents each ; per pound $1.00.
