RED CHAFF MEDITERRANEAN.— Bearded.—This Wheat was imported at the same time with the White Chaff Mediterranean, and from near the same place. The only difference between the two Wheats is, that this Wheat has a dark red grain of large size; a straw slightly purple, and a red chaff. It has been yielding good crops every season; is hardy and prolific, and will stand the hardest winter. It yields about thirty-five bushels per acre. Per peck, $1,50; per bushel, $5,00. Wholesale and Club rates: 25 bushels, $112,50; 50 bushels, $225,00; 100 bushels, $400,00. [pen and ink drawings:] FRENCH WHITE CHAFF MEDITERRANEAN. GERMAN RED
[column two] FRENCH RED CHAFF MEDITERRANEAN—From Aix, Fr'ce. —Acclimated four years. This is also a very good early Wheat. It stands the Winter well, and is very prolific. The grain is a light red or amber; is of good size, and very plump.— The head is the largest of any of the Bearded Wheats. The straw is strong and stiff; not liable to lodge. It yields about forty to fifty bushels per acre on ordinary soil, and is free from rust and weevil. Per peck, $2,00; per bushel, $7,50. Wholesale, or Club rates: 25 bushels, $175,00; 50 bushels, $325,00; 100 bushels, $500,00.
ITALIAN RED MEDITERRANEAN—Bearded—Imported from Tuscany. Acclimated three years. It is a hardy amber Wheat, with a grain of good size, and has improved each year. The head is as large as that of the French Red Chaff Mediterranean, and is very prolific. The straw is very strong and stiff, not likely to lodge, and has not been affected by rust or weevil. It yields from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Per peck, $2; per bus. $7,50; Wholesale and Club rates: 25 bush. $175,00; 50 bush. $225; 100 bush. $500.
HUNGARIAN RED MEDITERRA'N —Bearded.— Imported from Dantsic, Prussia. Acclimated 2 years; An early and prolific Red Wheat which stands the hardest winter, and stools very heavily. The head is of a good size, the grain medium and of a dark red color. It has improved both in straw and grain each year. I consider it a very good and hardy Wheat. Per peck, $2,00; per bushel, $7,50; Wholesale and Club rates: 25 bushels, $140,00; 40 bushels, $260,00; 60 bush- els, $360,00.
ITALIAN WHITE WHEAT— Smooth.—From Tuscany, Italy. This White Wheat will not stand our cold northern winter. I had to plow it down as it was winter-killed. Where it has been sown in this Valley it has deteri-

orated every year. It is one of the finest and largest White Wheats in the world, and those who live in a warm and dry climate can raise it to perfection. It will yield about 50 bushels per acre. Per peck, $2,00; per bushel, $7,50.
WEEK'S WHITE BEARDED.— This Wheat was found in a crop of Mediterranean Wheat by Mr. WEEKS, of New York, and is believed to be a hybrid from the Soules and Mediterranean Wheat. This is the earliest bearded White Wheat that I know of. It is hardy and prolific, with a hard and flinty grain, similar in size and shape to the Mediterranean; yields as high as forty-five bushels per acre.— It has a good stiff straw, and is fly, weevil and rust proof. I believe this Wheat would prove hardy and prolific in any part of the United States, as a crop can be raised on any kind of soil. Per peck, $1,75; per bushel, $6,00. Wholesale, or Club rates: 25 bushels, $150,00; 50 bushels, $262,00; 100 bushels, $500,00.
EGYPTIAN RED CHAFF MEDITERRANEAN.—Bearded. This Wheat is similar to the Lancaster and Rochester, raised along the banks of the Susquehanna river. The head is a good size; the grain medium, and yields from thirty to thirty-five bushels per acre. In this vicinity, this variety proves [...], but in some localities it is very superior and [...]ives entire satisfaction. Per peck, $1,50; per bushel, $5,00. Wholesale, or Club rates: 25 bushels, $112,00; 50 bushels, $215,00; 100 bushels, $400,00.
BOUGHTON, OR, TAPPAHANNOCK WHITE—Smooth—From Virginia. This wheat has proved one of the best White Smooth Wheats in this part of the country. It ripens early and yields from thirty to forty bushels per acre; the head and grain of good size. This Wheat, in some localities, will ripen earlier and yield better than in others. It needs a good, rich warm, dry soil, and on such soil will repay the farmer well for sowing. When grown to perfection, I consider it one of the best White Wheats in the country. Per peck, $1,50; per bushel, $5,00. Wholesale and Club rates: 25 bushels, $120,00; 50 bushels, $225,00; 100 bushels, $400,00.
DIEHL'S WHITE—Smooth. This variety originated in the State of New York and comes up as fully to the requirements of Wheat growers as any Smooth White Wheat grown. It has proved uniformly hardy. The grain is white, plump, soft, and not flinty, and ripens early in the season. It is very prolific; the

plant is very strong and broad-leafed; stools well, and endures the rigors of our northern Winter as well as any other known variety. The grains set close to the rachis, and the chaff fits closely, and may be called fly-proof. On good ground it will yield over forty bushels per acre. Per peck, $1,50; per bushel, $5,50.— Wholesale, or Club rates: 25 bushels, $130,00; 50 bushels, $250,00; 100 bus. $490,00.
WHITE CHAFF MEDITERRANEAN—Bearded.—This Amber Wheat was imported ten years ago from the Northern part of Italy, near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and has been yielding good crops every season. This Wheat is grown in New York, largely. It is a hardy and prolific Wheat, amber colored grain, of good size, and a medium sized head. It yields from thirty to thirty-five bushels per acre. It stools largely, and the straw is bright and strong; free from rust, and weevil do not trouble it. Per peck, $1,50; per bushel, $5,00. Wholesale and Club rates: 20 bus. $90,00; 50 bushels, $225,00; 100 bushels, $400,00.
LANCASTER RED CHAFF. —Bearded.—An early red Mediterranean Wheat. Head medium size; grain a light red, of good size. Pennsylvania farmers hold to it on account of its making a crop on all kinds of soil, especially in slate or gravelly land, and its making a part of a crop in all kinds of seasons. If the best seed was taken every year for sowing, it could be improved so as to make a splendid Wheat. The yield, in this Valley, is from 15 to 35 bushels per acre. Per peck, $1,50; per bushel, $5,00; Wholesale, or Club rates: 25 bushels, $112; 50 bushels, $212,00; 100 bushels, $400,00.
CALIFORNIA WHITE WHEAT— Smooth—Originally from Chili. This is considered one of the very best White Wheats, but it needs a warm, dry climate to grow it to perfection. I ploughed most of it down this season—being winter-killed. Some of it, left standing, has made fine heads of a very large size. I only offer this Wheat to those who think they can raise it, as it is one of the finest White Wheats in the World. It will not stand our wet, northern Winters. Yields from 50 to 60 bushels. Per peck $1.50; per bushel, $5,00.
