A year or two since our attention was 
called to a sample of white wheat which for 
size and beauty really beat anything we had 
ever seen, and we were tempted to procure 
a supply and at once offer it to our patrons, 
but fearing that it might not do well in this 
climate, we concluded to wait until it was 
further tested. 
We now believe that it has proved fully 
equal to its recommendation. It is a very 
hardy and most productive variety, with 
long, stiff straw, standing well, stools heav¬ 
ily. growing from twenty-five to seventy 
stalks from a single grain; the ears are of 
good length, closely filled with full plump 
grains with but little chaff. 
Messrs. Haines & Co., the seed firm who 
first introduced it, offer 
Fifty Dollars, Cash, 
for any wheat that will equal it. We think 
they take no risk as the grains are 
THREE TIMES AS LARGE 
as our ordinary wheat. In Pennsylvania 
and all northern localities it succeeds best 
as a Winter Wheat, though we have heard 
of its doing well when sown in the Spring. 
A peculiarity of it is that when green it 
is heavily bearded, as shown in the right 
hand cut, but just before ripening the beards 
nearly all fall, leaving it with the appear¬ 
ance of the cut at the left. 
Messrs. Haines & Co. have been experi¬ 
menting with this variety for several years, 
and in a recent note they write: “We con¬ 
sider it one of the most valuable introduc¬ 
tions of late years in the cereal line, as we 
are getting good reports from all parts of 
the country, even where the standard 
wheats are a failure.” 
One of our customers in Cumberland Co., 
Pa., has now tested it for two years and 
writes us under date of Sept., 9, 1881; “The 
‘Golden Grains’ did well again this season. 
I am confident it can be successfully grown 
in this climate.” 
We can only offer a limited quantity this 
fall, which will be promptly sent, postpaid, 
by mail, at the following prices: 
2 oz. package, 25 cts. $ lb., $1.00. 
1 lb., $2.00.
