When first raised, some j-ears the top of the culms was downy with Rye culms. This characteristic could not be fixed, so that fc this variety the culms having no down were alo selected. The gold-colored straw is very thick strong, easily supporting 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.) $; bushel; 10 bushel lots, $ per bushel. EARLY GENESEE GIANT. Jones' Half-bearded. The latest novelty in winter wheat, truly a wonder for thrifty fall growth, early and strong stooling, rapid progress after it starts, strong short jointed straw, which stands up well under high culture. Solid, filled, erect heads, fine hard amber grain, exceptionally fine milling qualities, and the cham- pion of all in productiveness, yielding at the rate of 64 bushels per acre under good field culture, and weighing 64 lbs. per bushel. A noticeable feature is the full centre row, crowded with grain, which adds very much to the yield. These and many other good qualities have been obtained after many and very well-directed crossings. The result is the Early Genesee Giant, which is well named, for after a thorough test we find it ffzant in grain, giant in yield and gtaniin weight. § bushel ; 10 bushel lots, $ per bushel. , NEW YORKER NO.
