NEW RYE. 
Thomcm d~fol d. 
The rapiiUy inci-ensiut? importance of rye lu many 
aectione of our country whore wheat ciilnue Is not 
found i)i'0lltnhle, as well as the enormous ileinand foi 
straw for manufacturing purposes, has IiuluceU us to 
import many of the leading European varieties of this 
valuahle cereal. After careful tests and extensive 
comparative trials, we conlideiitlj' recoiumend this as 
superior to any of the older kinds. 
It grows from six to seven feet in lu'ight, wlili ex* 
traordlnarily stiff and lieavy straw, holding up well its 
weighty heads without lodgiug; it is long-jointed, 
bright, and clean, making it adapted to various inir- 
poses for which impoited straw is geuerallj' used. 
The heads are from six to eight Inches in lengtli, pro¬ 
fusely lined with largo, heavy, mnl plump gi ains; so 
that, combined with its remarkable tiUeriug tendency, 
it is not rare to find stools which, in veviticatiou of 
their name, produce a thousand grains from one. 
In hardiness and yield it is not excelled by any other 
ATiWe^', having wintered splendidly in most severe 
seasons, producing from thirty to fifty bushels per 
acre, accordingto the character of the soil and seasons. 
On acconnt of its limiriant growth and pi-ofu.so tiller¬ 
ing, a quarter to a third less seed should bo sown per 
acre tliau is used of less vigoi’ous-growing kinds. 
Price, 4 pounds, $1.00, by mail, post-paid; per peck, 
$1.00; half bushel, $1.75; bushel, $3.00.
