and are best suited to those sections
where the finer qualities of wheat are
grown. They will not withstand severe
freezing and thawing, but in warm and
mild ATTITUDES both these and the Ancona
will produce good crops. They should
be sown in Maryland, Virginia, Tcnnes-
see, Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and
Indiana, and those States further South;
in all of which it is believed that they
will succeed and yield a superior quality
of wheat. These wheats should be
sown as earl y as the last of August and
the early part of September

imported from Russia, and is acclimated
one year. 1t is similar to the Early
May 4 variety of wheat common to the
Southern States. The change effected
in this wheat by a single years cultiva-
ton in this country has been truly Won
derful. The seed from q dark small
grain has changed into a fine, good sized,
amber one, and in other respects, as
well its adaptation to our soil and eli
mate is remarkable. 1t promises to
supersede the Early May, being very
early, hardy and acclimates readily. 1t
is a bcardlcss red chaff, almost identical
in appearance and quality with that
already mentionod, and in all respects
gives promise of making very superior
wheat TO be sown in September.
!Sahonhu Bearded Red CHAT Red
imported from Poland in 1868. 1t is
early and hardy, and will acclimate
itself readily to the wheat growing sec
tons Of this country. This variety
recommends itself to Northern farmers
especially, and ! am confident will do
well wherever the red chaff varieties
are successfully grown. 1t will con-
tinue to improve for some years to como,
and promises to make a valuable atdi-
ton to the wheats Of this country.
Hungarian White Chaf Bearded Red
This variety has now been acclimated
three years, and in good soil and favor
able cultivation it has proved very pro-
iitablc. Each years planting has i'm
proved the quality of the straw and the
size Of the grain. 1t stands the winter
well, and rippns a little earlier each
year. 1t makes compact head of good
size, and will succeed in the wheat sec.
tons of this country. 1t should be
sown about the middle of September.
american White CAat Bearded White
is one of the hardest and most produc-
tive white whcats raised The grain is
similar in size and color to that of the
Diehl's white. 1t yields abundantly
and produces superior -four. It can be
grown wherever the red varieties sue
ceed For eight years it has yielded
large crops, and | have known it to be
sown under very unfavorable circum-
stances. 1t adapts itself readily to all
wheat growing sections. 1t grows in a
variety of soils, and acclimatcs easily.
| unhesitatingly recommend it to wheat
growers and farmers throughout the
whole country. 1t should be sown in
September.

it on the poorest soil on the farm, and
the yield was fine. | have also sown it
so late in the fall that it made Il growth
of only an inch and ahalf before winter

ing of the loose soil pulled most of it up

soil and made Il growth which gave a
crop of twenty bushels to an acre.
would recommend it before all others as
the best wheat for soils which are only
moderately productive. \ crop can be
grown on any kind of wheat soil OF
course it will do best on rich soil. This
wheat is early, hardy and productive
1t is free from rust and wecvil The
straw is strong and will not lodge. The
grain is us good as the best red wheat,
and much superior to most red varieties.
1t can be sown any time in September,
and even in October.

This is a beautiful white wheat, and
among the first to ripen. 1t should be
sown in rich soil to mature PERFECTLY
Sandy loan, loose clay and gravclly
soils are best adapted to its growth, and
new ground, or that which has been
newly cleared produces large crops of
the finest quality. Reports from all
parts of the country agree in recon-
