grain having been known to produce as high as fourteen stalks. A heavy yielder, 55 bushels per acre

and roots deeply. The grain is large, dark red and of the best milling qualities. The heads are large, 
the chaff is beautiful white and is without beards. “Leap’s Prolific” is one of the earliest to ripen and 
we recommend it as an all-around good variety. Sow 1 y 2 bushels per acre. 20c. per qt. (by parcel post,

head is bearded and contains well-shaped red grains of a semi-hard nature of excellent milling qualities. 
It is a tremendous stooler, one grain producing as many as 25 stalks with often 45 grains to 
the head or stalk. Often yields from 40 to 45 bushels per acre under average conditions. We recom¬ 
mend sowing one bushel per acre. It is early to mature and produces straw often 5 feet high. 20c. 
per qt. (by parcel post, 30c); larger quantity, price upon application. 
PENNSYLVANIA 44 (Bearded) _

RED WAVE (Beardless) 
A very popular variety, succeeding in all kinds of soil, and has been especially successful in lands not too rich in lime. Upon 
sandy, gravelly soil Red Wave is especially Suited. This variety is a heavy producer; heads are extremely long, with grains closely set; 
on good rich soil this variety has yielded 40 to 45 bushels per acre. It takes a little longer for this variety to mature than the earliest 
varieties. The straw is long and withstands storms remarkably well. Grains large and dark red and produces flour of good quality. 
This is truly a worthy variety, the result of a cross of Red Clawson and an unnamed cross-breed of Russian parentage. 20c. per qt. (by
