White Australian Spring Wheat. 
This new variety of Wheat lately introduced from Austra¬ 
lia, lias proved very productive and of most excellent qual¬ 
ity. It yielded this past season llfty-onc and a half bushels 
to the acre. This is eighteen and a half bushels more to the 
acre than the best of several other kinds yielded, which 
were sown, as a test, on the same Held, and treated in all re¬ 
spects in the same way. 
I will send a four-pound package of this wheat by mall, 
and warrant it to reach its purchaser, for SI. Such a pack¬ 
age. so wed thin, will yield, on good land, with good culture, 
six to eight bushels. O. DICKINSON,
