'he Martin Amber Wheat. 
r . 
Every year new vaneties of wheat are introduced, 
advertised, and sold " itii results as variable as ilieir 
respective names. A number of these have been real 
imptovemerns on the old kinds and are now beiim 
raised in ilieir stead but by far the greater number 
have sunk "lit of existence because, unreliable in their 
results and uvwortni / of esteem, they could not com¬ 
mand the confidence ot the public, 
It is not to one of these I ttter ephemeral kinds that 
we ask your attend m, but believing that am- im proved 
nient that can bo made in the quality of our wheat or 
in increasing its production must be acceptable to every 
producer as well as every consumer wo ne* d offer no 
apology for introducing" i ho most remarkable wheat 
overproduced, namely, Martin Amber.

HISTOKY AND DESCRIPTION, 
This remarkable wheat originated j n uhs State in 
1 S 7 S «t which time the entire stock was one head of 
remarkable size and entirety unlike any other kind 
ever seen. The originator careiinJy saved and planted 
the products ot this head and the resulting crops the 
following seasons until 1882 , when we purchased 
the stock (wiiirh had r eached about 201) bushels) at an 
extraordinary nigh price, and introduced it to the pub¬ 
lic. We knew of this wheat IVom the start, and had 
been watching it carefully and noting its peculiarities, 
and were lulls’ acquainted with it when we introduced 
it. 
The claims we made for it last tall have been fully 
realized by our friends all over the country and under 
varying circumstances, and it is with full assurance that 
it will give you great satisfaction that wo invite yon to 
sow it with the utmost confidence. 
HABIT OF GROWTH. 
The Martin Amber wheat differs and can be distin¬ 
guished from any other in ils habit of growth while 
young, very much resembling timothy or rye, ami is 
about as hardy as the latter. In the fall, winter, and 
spring until May. the plants lie spread out over the 
ground, thus affording a splentl id protection toils roots 
through winter. In May it begins to shoot kij and
