It is early and produces its stalks of great sweetness and abundance of juice in great profusion. Pkt. 5c; by mail, lb. 25c; by express or freight, 100 lbs. $ SEED BUCKWHEAT. JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT.—The kernels are at least twice the size of those of any other variety, and of a shape peculiar and distinct from all others. The color of the kernels is also most distinct, being a rich, dark shade of brown. The straw is heavier, very branchy, and does not need to be sown as thickly as other kinds. The quality is excellent and the yield is enormous. It is about a week earlier in ripening than the Silver Hull. Per 100 lbs. $ BUCKWHEAT, SILVER HULL.—This improved variety is much better than the old sort. It is in bloom longer, matures sooner, and yields double the quantity per acre. The husk is thinner, the corners less prominent and the grain of a beautiful light gray color. The flour is said to be better and more nutritious. Per 100 lbs. $ BUCKWHEAT, COMMON.—Buckwheat should be sown about the 20th of June, broadcast, at the rate of from one to three pecks per acre. The average yield is from twenty-five to thirty bushels per acre. It should be threshed as soon as dry, on the ground or barn floor. If allowed to stand in mass it quickly gathers moisture.
