SEED WHEAT.

HALL ET 'S PEDIGREE NURSERY
WHEAT, at El ls. per bushel. This wheat has
produced 28 BACKS PEE ACRE, and although one of the
best kinds for the Miller, it is the most prolific variety
known. . .

Orders e'drvssed to FlignenieK FOOT, COMMiIMiO/1
Agent, Dorchester, will receive attention.

There be " 'mg some kinds similar in appearance to the
Pedigree Wheat, but without possessing its prolific
qualities, parties are cautioned against purchasing any
but the genuine article.
From its truly giant habits it requires thin sowing,
and one bushel is sufficient for an acre and a half.
