The Martin Amber wheat is the.finest wh'r.t 
J ever saw. It is large and upright, and the 
ieacls are from 4 to G inches long ana well filled.

We arc led to thinlc hopefully of this ne.w 
wheat from the. fact that it is being introduced 
ky J. A. Everitt. of Watsontown, Pa., a gen¬ 
tleman whose promises in r eg nr a to new van ie- 
ti.es have thus far been fulfilled.

'■ \1 Philadelphia., Fa,. 
Wm. Boninger and A. II. Shook. p’actical 
millers, have tested the wheat lor flouring and 
say, •* It is unprecedented in its quality and 
yielding propensities, 120 pounds of wheat 
making 00 pounds of the finest flour. The 
wheat from which this flour was made wis 
cleaned with a common funning-milI, and 
weighed 63 pounds to the measured bushel.” 
The new wheat sent us is excellent.

Tire Martin Amber wheat was sown on po¬ 
tato ground not very early. There was also 
four large apple trees in the plot. One half 
bushel was s >\vn on a little more than ‘ acre, 
and it yielded lot bushels. Weight per bushel, 
64 pounds. It is very nice in the grain.

I sowed the wheat the 21 st and 23 d of Octo¬ 
ber. It came up lively and looked well, but 
the winter was without snow and much thaw¬ 
ing and freezing in March. It looked as thong h 
it could not make much, but when growing 
weather came ic beat everything stooling that 
I ever saw. It growed tall with largest heads 
I ever saw. I think it will be a yielding wheat.

The Martin Amber wheat was sown entirelv 
out of season the 14 th of October, fully a month 
later than who it should be sown in this lati¬ 
tude. Notwithstanding the lateness and (ox -1 
ceptional severity of the season which all but 
caused the entire destruction of the winter j 
wheat crop, the Amber done fairly well-head- . 
ing and tilling well. ' i

I am perfectly satisfied the Martin Amber 
wheat will be one of the best of wheats. I had 
ahead that measured 7 !, inches long, ami plenty 
of them that measured (it inches. It cannot 
but turn out well. E. Bushyaokr, Pa. 
From the 1 bushel of Martin Amber Wheat 
purchased of vou lent 45 dozens and expect 
to have 45 bushels. Three fourths of a bushel 
to the acre is what I sowed. It cannot he uoat, 
and will pay anyone for their in’vestmout. 
Homer II. Hewitt, Pa. 
I cannot give you a full report of the Martin 
Amber wheat yet, as I have not threshed it. 
All I can say to-dav is that it is the best wheat 
I ever saw. You shall hear from mo in ab ,ut 
two weeks. 
The Martin Amber Wheat was sown Nov. 
29 , which was two months late, and from the 1 
pound I have 55 peunds of clean wheat of good 
quality, with but moderate cultivation. I 
thinlc it the wheat of the age. You can use this 
statement as you wish.

I have tried the Martin Amber Wheat and 
like it very well. East fall I sowed 50 pounds 
and harvested 65 dozens. I think I will have 
40 bushels. Some of my neighbors want to get 
the wheat. 1 am very much pleased with it. 
Aijkx, Elliott, Pa. 
TV MArtin Amber wheat yields 3 t bushel** 
from 4 pounds sowing. It is a grand variety, 
large heads, stiff straw, and fine grain. 
Isaiah Johnson, Pa. 
1 sowed 30 pounds of the Martin Amber 
Wheat, and threshed 20 bushels of good wheat; 
It stands up well. Will sow 15 acres this fall.

The Martin Amber Wheat proofs an im" 
portant variety with me. Heads one third 
longer tha.n Fultz. It ought to be. diffused 
largely for seed this season. Please send rag 
pri'-e. Hat. S. R. BOO FIELD, 
Ed. Practical Farmer, Farming/on, JJd} 
I S' wed the 1 peck of Martin Amber Wheat¬ 
on my poorest land aside of Fultz. It yields 
fully twice as inu -h as the Fultz. We set tho 
drill exactly to J bushel to the acre, and it 
stooled out enormous y, and made a stronger 
set with that amount than the Fultz with 4 
bushels per acre, and heads were liuly twice 
rs long as the Fultz. It was sown op the 4 th of 
October. E. S. Adams Ohio- 
The Martin Amber Wheat looks fine. Tt h s 
wintered 50 per cent, better than the average 
wheat in this section. 
A. A. House, Ohio. 
The 1 pound of Martin Amber wheat which 
I received of you gave me one bushel and onto 
peck of very fine wheat. 1 am much pleased 
with it, and will sow ail this fall. 
A. Hurler, Pa. 
Sowed tho Martin Amber Wheat the 25 th 
of September, 1 bushel on 1 i acres, on rather 
|H>or land, on north side of a high and poor 
hill. After a few days we had a heavy rain 
ami washed considerable out. but it came up 
and looked so thin that 1 thought, it would iv t 
am >unt to much. The ground froze up the isth 
of November, 51 days after sowing. We had 
considerable snow which went off about April 
1st, and we had freezing and thawing weather 
all that month and part of May. The field 
looked lia e, and mv neighbors laughed a r , me 
about my 810 bushel of wheat. Then we had 
wm in and wet v outlier, and in about two weeks 
you could see a few spears of wheat, but then 
I was advised to sow barley on the piece, but I 
told them it was a! I rignt. And now that sapie 
I piece is as thick or thicker than the <>ther wheat 
I that we sowed early, and 1| bushels per acre, 
and good judges say it will yield from 35 to 4 tl 
bushels per acre. Someofthe heads are seven 
inches long, and from 10 to 50 stalks from one 
grain. Hope you will continue to introduce 
other new varieties of wheat, oats, and pota¬ 
toes. Henry Walsh, IFts. 
Lam. much pleased to learn that a sumj la 
of Martin. Amber Wheat sown last fall has 
turned, out very well, and the grower, one. of 
our most enterprising farmers, is very much 
pleased with it. WM. WELD, 
Ed. & P. o. Farmers' Advocate, London, (Jan, 
I lfave harvested my Martin Amber Wheat, 
and I must say it is at least 100 per cent., better 
than anv other variety. it stood up beauti¬ 
fully while all the other kinds lodged, on ac¬ 
count of the frequent heavy rains. The first 
j time I sowed this wheat I realized a yield of 
| 150 times the amount sowed. Every person 
who sees it says with me: *■ It is,without doubt, 
the finest and most perfect wheat in every re¬ 
spect that tho American comment has ever 
produced.” It seems to me all other wheats 
! are nowhere when compared with it.
