Neurly all the varieties s«nt out are grown mi the Experimental Farms and are selected Irom ainom; those which, after being siibmiiced to careful and ropeati'U tesm, havo produced the laroest average ciops of gram of good quality Having received instruotiuns from the Honorable Minister of Agiieulturo to continue this useful work and makii an- other distril)ut'<m during the coming sea- son, I sliiill be pleasoii to receivu appli- cations from all who desire samples. .As lieretofuru, one sample of one variety only can bo can ho sent to each apnlicant, and thedisiribut on will ho con lined to samples of wheat, oats, barley, tiold pease, Indian corn and pntatoos. Among the varieties of grain to bo dia- triliuied during the coininu season will be some of tho more promisiiii; of tho new cro.HN-bied sorts which have lieen pnaiuced at tho Experimental Farms. All the grain sent imt will be carefully cl- anrd and true to name. To prevent the disap- pointment which occurs when parties re ceiv'o samples of vaiieties thoy already have, it wciiild be well fur each person ap- plying to name two or three sorts which lie would prefer, nrrangini; them iu the order of preference ; when, in case the stock of the first named vaiiuly is exhaust- ed, the secitid or third could be substi- tuted. As it is proposed to only send these samples an personal, single appli- cation, it is iinportiint that every farmur wliii desires a sample should apply for hiiiisolf. Lists of names will not ho con si.l.-rod. All letters addressed to the Cen- tral Farm at () tawa may bo sent freo of poMiago. ai.il tho samples weighing three pounds each w 11 be s^'iit freo to the ap- p'icants throiigh tho niaiL The distriliu- timi will hcnii) i-aily in Uoeeinber, and as the slock is limited ami the applicniiiiis will be tilled in thu order in which they are reoeived, those sent in eaily will have the sdvantaiio. .Applications may, how- ever, be Heiit in ataiiy time 'neforu tho 1st of March ; but aftertli.it <late the list will bo closed sii as to oiisurM the sending out of all the tamplos iti limu for sowing.
