Iowa Sebd Company, ues Moines, iowa HAYNES' PEDIGREE WHEAT, We cannot too highly recommend this grand new variety as being the best kind of spring wheat in existence and are sure it will please every one who tries it. It was originated by Mr. L. H. Haynes, who spent eight years in selecting and improv- ing it in his garden, each year choosing all the largest and best heads and discarding all the balance. This continued selection has had the effect of improving it in vigor, size of head and quality. For the past few years he has been growing it as a farm crop, taking the greatest pains each season to keep it strictly pure and by going through the fields and removing everything that was not of ideal quality, he now has a variety which is sure to please all wheat growers. The heads are very large, well filled out, the kernel is hard, the plant stools greatly, and, under ordinarily favorable conditions will yield 40 to 50 bushels per acre. It is an improvement on Blue Stem wheat, butfully five days earler in maturing. We most highly recommend this variety to customers everywhere in the wheat growing belt, and are sure that it will greatly please them in every respect. Per pk. 65c, bushel $2.00, 2 bushels or more at $1.85. '/ was rrmchpleased with Haynes' Pedigree Blue Stem Wheat last year. The weather was very unfavorable for small grain, but it yielded nearly double the crop that my other wheat did and of mueh better quality.—George Rubes, Dickinson county, Iowa. VELVET CHAFF SPUING WHEAT.—This is now the stand- ard variety for growing in Iowa, having displaced all the older sorts. It has proved much superior to the Scotch Fife, Saskatchewan and other sorts, being fully equal in quality, earlier, more sure, and yielding much larger crops. It is a remarkable semi-hard spring wheat yielding large crops free from rust. It is now the main crop in the northwestern states and the great milling kings use it for their highest grade flour, and it has been the most reliable variety year after year, yielding a good crop where other kinds fail. All stocks of this variety show some mixture, but our seed is nice this year and we are sure will please our customers. Per lb. 20c, 3 lbs. 50c. By freight, peck, 35c, bu. $1.25.2 bus. or more @ $1.15, 10 bus. or more @ $1.00. HAYNES' PEDIGREE SPRING WHEAT.—A greatly improv- ed Blue Stem variety which has yielded 40 to 50 bushels per acre.
