CANTERBURY SEED-GROWERS’ ASSOCIATION.
The association is again this year distributing pure seed-wheat grown under the inspection of the honorary secretary, Dr. Hilgendorf, of. Lincoln College. The following varieties are availablenamely, Hunters or Red Chaff, Solid-straw Tuscan, Purple-straw Tuscan, and true Pearlall of which have undergone five years' trial at Lincoln College, and have during that period shown themselves superior to commercial seed of the same variety. There are also small lots of Whitestraw .Tuscan and Velvet raised as pure strains by a member of the association, but which have not yet been put through exhaustive competitive trials. Every sack of seed sent out bears a tag certifying that it has been inspected while growing, that it is true to Lame, relatively pure, and free from noxious weeds.
