GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS. 
This is an early Wheat. 
Sixty Ears, more or less fully developed, were counted on a plant of this variety 
in 1887. It is exceedingly productive, Ears very long and well filled, habit erect. 
It is considerably earlier than either parent, and is very ha rdy. Straw medium 
length, stout, and strong; crop very level in general appearance, and does not usually 
go down in wet seasons. 
Two Ears of this Selection contained respectively 80 and 65 grains. 
It was estimated to produce 6 quarters per acre upon poor burning soil at our 
Seed Farms in 1887. 
ABSOLUTELY FREE PROM RUST, 1890. 
J. Pope I.ord, Esq., Grantham, writes : “ The quality is very good, it is quite free from smut or rust, 
and better quality than others ; full crop from 48 to 54 bushels per acre.” 
C. Lamh, Esq., West Hartlepool, writes: “I estimate the produce of Carters’ New Cross Bred Wheat 
(‘ Hundredfold’) will be 60 bushels per acre, while Scoley’s Squarehead will be 41 to 50 bushels per acre. 
The straw is bright and good, suitable for thatching.” 
F. B. Newitt, Esq., Kettering, writes: “Carters’ Cro.ss Bred Wheat, ‘Hundredfold,’ answers well; I 
had it reaped, and the man who cut it said he never reaped such heavy sheaves before. 
I think there is not less than 48 bushels per acre ; Ute ttsual average about here is 36 bushels. 
Straw very good both in quality and quantity. 
“ I consider it worth on the market 2/. more per quarter than Squarehead. It is very robust, and tillers 
well.” 
Price 21/- per Bushel of 63 lbs. 
Offered so long as stock lasts. All orders executed in strict rotation.
