^ foreign Wheats of rare 
^^^^HMA T excellence. 
Naples Wheat 
The fourth year grown in Pennsylvania from a sample received in 1891 
from Italy, a variety used there for the making of flour for Macaroni. 
Plant very hardy, productive, strong in stem, hard in grain and very 
promising for further acclimatization. Much better than wheat 
novelties in general and superior to many standard sorts. 
Sold only by the peck at $i, and by the pound, postpaid, at 25 cents. 
Roman Wheat, 
The original stock from which this wheat was grown was received from 
Italy in 1891. It is now well acclimatized and is one of the most dis- 
tinctive wheats ever tested upon Bloomsdale Farm. It is also one of 
the most profitable as respects productiveness and quality. The straw 
is very erect and strong, the head is large and the grain resembles rye 
more than wheat. It is hard as glass and most remarkably novel in 
shape, color, bold grain and whole appearance, and of admirable 
crushing quality. 
Sold only by the peck at $1, and by the pound, postpaid, at 25 cents.
