left at our Office two new species of wheat-one called
Oregon, the other China 1t was taken from the
Bloomfield estate, belonging to Henry R. Smeltzer,
near Middletown, Frederick county, Maryland.
The Oregon wheat was found or discovered by a
missionary travelling through that territory, who
brought it to this country in 1889. Mr.. Smeltzer
this year raised from four and quarter acres 2l2
bushels and AZ lbs, which is d fraction over so
bushels to the acre. This wheat is very hardy, of
beautiful red color, with smooth chaf, heads from
5 to inches long, and average from 80 to 100
grains to the head. II is believed it will yield at
least 20 per cent. to the than the ordinary
wheat from the fact that 1t has from Is TO 20 grains
more to the head. The history of the China wheat
Is rather singular. A few heads were found in a
box of Chna-wafe imported from the north Of Chi
ma; and the heads being so very large and compact,
the discoverer was induced to plant them. Mr. 8.
informs US that last year he raised 42k bushels per
acre with it, and this year AZ bushels per This
is a beautiful white wheat, and has heads or ears
about as long the Oregon wheat, and about the
same number of grains to the head. The China
