dears it to all. Tosco a copy is equivalent to subscrib¬

months (Sept, to Dec.) fer only £5 cents. Don’t judge 
it to be of no account because printed in an inland

Pure White Winter-Wheat. 
All thine-o considered, and oil good, clean, rich, dry land, 
tlic DIEHL is the best variety of WHITE Wheat now grown. 
The straw is very stiff, the head very plump and full, and 
the yield on good land eminently satisfactory. The greatest 
difficulty we have experienced with it is to get pure seed. 
Il is almost impossible to find ic unmixed with Mediterra¬ 
nean and other red varieties. For some years past, many 
readers ol the American Agriculturist have written to me 
for seed, but I have never been able to get any that I 
thoughtpure. I have now, however, the pleasure of stating 
that I raised this year ten acres of DIEHL WHEAT that 
is the PURI. I - I have ever seen, and I can send it out with 
confidence. ] 
I will scud four pounds by mail, prepaid, to any address, , 
on receipt of ONE DOLLAR. ) 
I will send by express or as freight, at the following rates: 
Y bushel.$3 00 
1 bushel . 5 00 
2 bushels . 9 00 
6 bushels . 25 00 
10 bnshels . 40 00 
Larger quantities at the same rate, or $4 per bushel. 
The Wheat v.i-1 bo put ill strong, new bags, carefully 
directed, and delivered at express office or freight-house 
without any extra charge.
