Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Flowers Southern States Catalogs; Vegetables Southern States Catalogs; Seeds Southern States Catalogs. 46 BURPEE 'S FARM ANNUAL. GOLDEN GRAIN OK PALESTINE MAMMOTH TME LARGEST GRAIN PURE WHITE WHEAT IN THE WORLD. A Wheat that is very hardy. A Wheat for Spring or Fall Sowing. A AVheat with long stiff straw, standing well. A Wlieat tliat bears from three to four grains to the breast. A Wheat that has proved remarkably productive. A Wheat that stools heavily, growing from 25 to 70 stalks from a single grain. A Wheat that is bearded until it begins to ripen, when all the beard falls off. The heads are of good length, averaging from four to seven inches, closely filled with full, plump grains ; the spikelets are close set and regular (more so than any other variety which has ever come under our notice, as may be seen by the engraving, which is a true portrait), and bears from three to four grains to the breast. We call the attention of farmers to the fact that whether a variety of wheat bears two or three grains in a breast makes a difference of one-third' in the yield, all else being equal. The grains are of a beautiful golden color and of enormozis size^ fully twice as large as our best common wheat. It is, without doubt, the HOST WONDERFUL WHEAT ever seen in this country. Has yielded at the rate of 64 bushels per acre without any fertilizer. Our crop this year is fully up to the standard—equal to last year's, both in quaUty of grain and yield. PRICE OF SEED 25 CTS.

Note.—In sections where spring wheat grows successfully, the Golden Grain Wheat has thrived best as a spring wheat, while in sections like the State of Pennsyl- vania, where winter wheat only can be grown, it has succeeded well as a winter wheat. 00 AQU WILL BE PAID FOR ONE BUSHEL OF ANY OTHER AVHEAT that will ^)\JL/bI-
