RURAL NEW YORKER, No. 6. This beardless variety is a hybrid between Rye and Armstrong Wheat, though apparently all traces of Rye have disappeared and it now appears a handsome, beardless Wheat. It succeeds and produces heavy crops on poor, thin land, where Wheat could not be successfully or profitably grown, and it also has ex- treme hardiness to recommend it. When first raised, some years ago, the top of the culms was downy with Rye culms. This charac- teristic could not be fixed, so that for this variety the culms having no down were alone selected. The gold-colored straw is very thick and strong, easily sup- porting the heavy grain without breaking. The large amber kernels are placed four to a breast, eight breasts to a side, with long, symmetrical heads having a brown chaff. (See cut.) $ peck, $ bushel; 10-bu. lots, $ per bu. RURAL SEW YORKER. NO. 57. JONES' L0NGBERRY, No. 1. â ... t,s RURAL NEW YORKER, NO. 6. This new variety will quickly take the place of the popular old Longberries now no longer profitable, through light yield and weakened vitality. We are confident it will prove the most profitable Longberry ever known, combining as it does strongest possible growth, strong gold-colored straw, long solid filled head, beautiful grain and is a champion in productiveness. The straw is of such strength that it is not liable to lodge, even on strong soils and river bottoms. From the fact that it is a blending of Red and Amber Wheat in one berry, millers will quickly recognize its high milling quality, possessing as it does the requisite hardness for the production of fine grade flour. A trial of this grand sort will convince any farmer of its value. Price by mail, postpaid, 1 lb., 40c.; 3 lbs., $ ; by freight or express, at purchaser's expense, $ peck, $ Pl
