Fine Wheat.-We were shown by James
Crippen on Tuesday, the head ola new varie-
ty OF wheat which was found growing with
several others, on his farm in Maryland. 1t was
large, containing over seventy grains,
Il
variety, contained about fifty-five. 1t was bearG-
ed and had four kernels on either side. Mr..
Z. instructed his tenant to collect the heads of
this new variety that it may be sown and the
seed be finally introduced. Should the yield DO
equally as great as these heads indicate, 1t would
