\ 
ITALIAN WHITE WHEAT. 
Smooth.—From Tuscany, Italy. This 
"White "Wheat will not stand our cold 
northern winter. I had to plow it down 
as it was winter-killed. Where it has 
heen sown in this Valley it has deterio¬ 
rated every year. It is one of the finest 
and largest White "Wheats in the world, 
and those who live in a warm and dry 
climate can raise it to perfection. It will 
yield about DO bushels per acre. 
Per peck, $2.00/ per bushel, $7.50. 
CALIFORNIA WHITE 
WHEAT. 
Smooth.—Originally from Chili. This 
is considered one of the very best "White 
Wheats, but it needs a warm, dry climate 
, to grow it to perfection. 1 plowed most 
of it down this season—being winter- 
killed. Some of it, left standing, has 
made fine heads of a very large size. I 
only offer this Wheat to those who think 
. they can raise it, as it is one of the finest 
White Wheats in the world. It will not 
stand our wet, northern winters. Yields 
from fifty to sixty bushels per acre. 
Per peck , $1.50/ per bushel, $3.00 
' ITALIAN RED MEDITER¬ 
RANEAN. 
From Tuscany.—Acclimated one year; 
half hardy. This is the same Wheat as 
p that acclimated three years, and I expect 
t to do as well. 
Per peck, $2.00 / per bushel, $7.50 / 
Wholesale, or Club rates: 20 bushels, 
$140.00 / 40 bushels, $260.00. 
AMERICAN WHITE 
WHEAT.

part of Pennsylvania, where it has been 
doing well for eight years and been 
yielding good crops. 
Per peck , $2.00 ; per bushel , $0.00.

ITALIAN RED MEDITERRA- 
• NEAN. 
Bearded—Imported from Tuscany. Accli¬ 
mated three years. It is a hardy amber Wheat, 
with a grain of good size, and lias improved 
eacli year. The head is as large as that of the 
French Red Chaff Mediterranean, and is very 
prolific. The straw is very strong and stiff, not 
likely to lodge, and has not been affected by 
rnst or weevil. It yields from forty to fifty 
bushels per acre. 
Per peck, $2.00 ; per bushel, $7.50 / Whole¬ 
sale, and Club rates: 25 bushels, $175.00 / 50 
bushels, $225.00/ 100 bushels, $300.00. 
ROGER’S ENGLISH RED MED¬ 
ITERRANEAN. 
Smooth.—Raised from selected English seed. 
Grain large, and of an amber color: heads of a 
good size; straw stiff and of good height. I 
think it will make a good WliSat when well 
acclimated, as it is doing better each year. 
Per peck, $2.25 / per bushel, $S.00. 
DIEHL’S WHITE. 
Smooth.—This variety originated in the State 
of New York, and comes up as fully to the re¬ 
quirements of Wheat growers as any Smooth 
White Wheat grown. It has proved uniformly 
hardy. The grain is white, plump, soft, and 
not flinty, and ripens early in the season. It is 
very prolific; the plant is very strong and 
broad-leafed ; stools well, and endures tire rig¬ 
ors of our northern winter as well as any other 
known variety. The grains set close to the 
racliis, and the glume, or chaff, fits'closely, and 
maybe called tly-proof. On good ground it 
will yield over forty bushels per acre. 
Per peck, $1.50; per bushel, $5.50. Wholesale, 
for Club rates : 25 bushels, $130.00/ 50 bushels, 
$250.00; 100 bushels, $490.00.

FRENCH RED CIIAFF MEDITER¬ 
RANEAN. 
Smooth.—From North Carolina, 
the straw still’ and of a good 
length. Bipens about as early 
astheBoughton White Wheat, 
and yields from thirty to forty 
bushels per acre. This Wheat 
stools very strongly, and will 
stand more freezing and thaw- 
BDUGMTDN, or TAPPAHANNOCK WHITE. 
Smooth.—From Virginia. This wheat lias proved one of the best White Smooth Wheats 
in tliis part of the country. It ripens early and yields from thirty to forty bushels per acre; 
the head and grain of good size. This Wheat, in some localities, will ripen earlier and 
yield better than in others. It needs a good, rich, warm, dry soil, and on such soil will 
repay the farmer well for sowing. When grown to perfection, I consider it one of the host 
White Wheats ill the country.

ing than most other varieties, as it sends out a great mass of roots. It would he a good 
Wheat for loose and prairie soils.

Tliis Wheat was found in a crop of Mediterranean Wheat by Mr. Weeks, of New York, 
and is believed to be a hybrid from the Soules and Mediterranean Wheat. This is the ear¬ 
liest bearded White Wheat 
I know of. It is hardy and 
prolific, with a hard and fiiuty 
grain, similar in size and 
shape to the Mediterranean; 
yields as high as forty-five 
bottghton, or tappahannock white. bushels per acre. It has a 
good stiff straw, and is fly, weevil and rust proof. I believe this Wheat would prove hardy 
and prolific in any part of the United States, as a crop can be raised on any kind of soil. 
Per peck, $1.75/ per bushel, $6.00. Wholesale, or Club rates: 25 bushels, $130.00; 50
