If you want to grow a Wheat that will pay you better than any other, 
grow Jones’ Winter Fife. It eclipses all others, yields 40 to 55 bushels pen- 
acre ; heads long, broad and beardless, studded with grain hard and as full of 
gluten as the noted Saskatchewan Spring Fife Wheat. Its velvet chaff makes it 
proof against the fly; ripens early, and when fully ripe does not shell in the field. 
TRICE FOR THE NEW CROP : 
By mail 50c. per lb., 3 lbs. for $1.25, including postage; by express 
or freight, purchaser paying charges, $3.00 per peck, $ 1 0.00 per 
bushel; 2 bushels for $18.00.
