RURAL NEW YORKER, No. 6. This beardless variely 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 characteristic 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 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.) 75c. peck, $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, $ per bushel. BUBAL NEW YOBKEB, NO. 57. RURAL NEW YORKEU, No. 6. PEDIGREE GIANT (Half=bearded). Those who grew the Early Genesee Giant Wheat which we offered a few years ago will no doubt remember what a grand wheat that was until it ran out. The Pedigree Giant is a cross obtained from the old Genesee Giant, and has in a marked degree all the desirable features of that variety when at its best. The head is of peculiar construction with very full centre row, and the whole head is crowded with fine hard amber grain. It is a champion in productiveness, and no variety can outyield it. It is a wonder for thrifty fall growth, is early and strong stooling, has strong short-jointed straw, which stands up well under high culture. 75c. peck, $ bushel; 10-bushel lots, $ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly res
