A NEW WINTER WHEAT-WINTER PEARL. 



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

 F. H. Horsford, of charlotte, Vermont, 1S7X. and is a cross between these 

 two well-known wheats, the Piehl and Clawson. The heads are beardless, 

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

 twenty breasts, of lour grains each. Kernels about the size of the ( 'lawson, 

 haul, plump, and of a light amber color, straw, from three to five' feet high, 

 bright yellow, strong and elastic; tillers freely, forty heads ha\itig been 

 counted from one kernel. It matures w ith clawson, and lias produced the 

 past season (1K83) in Northern Vermont at the rate of forty-five bushels per 

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

 productive in a better wheat country. Price by mail, trial packets (con- 

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

than Clawson, Fult'z, or Mediterranean ; hence its pro- 

 ducing qualities are greater. It has the compact head 

 of the Diehl with the beard and blue straw of the Medi- 

 terranean ; is very hardy and matures with Clawson. 

 We believe it is an important addition to our list of 

 Winter Wheats. By mail 2 lbs. for si. 00; by express 

 at purchaser's expense, $2.50 per peek ; $8.00 per bushel.

 some sections of Pennsylvania, and with very satis- 

 factory results. It is very hardy and productive, and

Seneca or Clawson. 



Red Mediterranean.— This is an imported variety, 

 fully acclimated, and is a standard Wheat. Heads 

 bearded, well filled, and ripens early. Three pounds, by 

 mail, $1.00 ; bushel, $2.25. 



RYE. 



THE NEW RYE, THOUSAND-FOLD. 



(See illustration.) 



The rapidly increasing importance of rye in many 

 sections of our country where wheat cult lire is not found 

 profitable, as well as the enormous demand for straw for 

 manufacturing purposes, has induced us to import many 

 of the leading European varieties of this valuable 

 cereal. After c areful tests and extensive comparative 

 trials with all the best varieties in cultivation, we con- 

 fidently recommend this new and remarkable Winter 

 A'l/e as superior to any of the older kinds. 



It grows from six to seven feet in height, with ex- 

 traordinarily still' and heavy .straw, holding up well.it* 

 weighty heads without lodging; it. is long jointed, 

 bright, and clean, making it adapted to various pur- 

 poses for which imported straw is generally used. The 

 beads are from six to eight inches in length, profusely 

 filled with large, heavy, and plump grains ; so that, com- 

 bined with its remarkable tillering tendency, it is not 

 rare, to find stools which, in verification of their name, 

 producea thousand grains from one. 



In hardiness and yield it is not excelled by any other 

 variety, having wintered splendidly in most severe, sea- 

 sons, producing from thirty to fifty bushels per acre, 

 according to the character of the soil and seasons. On 

 account of its luxuriant grow t h and profuse tillering, a 

 quarter to a third less seed should be sown per acre than 

 is used of less vigorous grow ing kinds. Price, one 

 pound, 50 cents; three pounds, SI. 00, - by mail, post- 

 paid; per peek, $1.75 ; half bushel. $2.50 ; bushel. $5.00 

 —bags included, express charges to be paid by pur- 

 chaser. 



Winter Rye.— White, of a superior quality. Three 

 pounds, by mall, $1.00. Per bushel, $1.50. 



Spring: Rye.— Three pounds, by mail, $1.00. Per 

 bushel. $1.75.
