can be sown ns late as November 1st. Bushel, $1.00 ; 6 bushels, $4.50 ; 10 bushels, $8.50. 
GOLD COIN WHEAT. A valmfble new variety. The introducer says of itAbsolutely the heaviest yielding variety 
of wheat ever placed before the public, yielding on an average 55 bushels per aero -the highest yield being 61 
bushels and the lowest 51 bushels. Such a record was never made by any other variet}'. Has very strong, 
stiff stiaw, and will not lodge on the richest land.” It stools out freely, and is remarkably hardy; in fact, we 
have never heard of it being winter-killed. The grain is a beautiful pale amber color, and quite distinct from any 
other sort. Price, 60c. per peck; $1.60 per bushel; 10 bushels, $15.00. 
inPROVEI) WHEAT. This variety is more widely known in the United States than any other kind, and probably 
more acreage is sown of this than any other; grows to a medium height, with stiff, strong straw; ripens 
early, and seldom fails to make a good crop. Peck, 60c.; bushel, $1.40; 6 bushels, $6.50. 
ELLIOTT S WINTER FIFE WHEAT. The longest headed wheat, and one of the hardiest wdnter wheats known, 
well adapted for all soils, grows to a medium height, matures medium early, and should be left until fully 
ripe. Peck, 60c.; bushel, $1.50; 6 bushels, $7.00. 
RAPE, DWARF ESSEX. A forage plant of the highest value. It can be sown in this latitude as late as Sep¬ 
tember, and still later further south; It is sown broadcast at the rate of 6 lbs. to the acre, but it is better 
drilled, in which case 3 lbs. to the acre are enough. In a few weeks from time of sowing, sheep, hogs or 
cattle can bo turned on it. and all reports agree that they gain weight faster on this than on any other- 
fodder. As It can be sown after other crops have been taken off, the gain in fodder is secured at merely 
nominal cost, and the way in which progressive Stockmen, Dairymen and Farmers have taken hold of Rape 
shows that they fully appreciate its value. No farmer can afford to miss giving it a thorough trial this 
autumn. Lb., 15c.; 10 lbs., $1.25; 100 lbs., $8.00. 
THOUSANDFOLD WINTER RYE. In hardiness and yield this variety stands foremost; will winter through severe

WINTER VETCHES, OR TARES (Vlcia villosa). Also called Sand, or Hairy Vetch. .Vnother valuable forage plant, 
which should be sown during September, together with rye, which serves as a support. It is perfectly hardy in 
all parts of the country, remaining green all winter, and maturing fully four weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover; it 
can, therefore, be harvested or ploughed under, and the ground used for the usual spring crops. It is very nutri¬ 
tious, and all kinds of stock oat it with relish. Sow from one-half to one bushel per acre, together with one-half 
bushel of Rye. Per lb., lOe.; bushel (60 lbs.), $3.50; per 100 lbs., $5.50.
