DEAR SIR,—
I am very glad to be able to inform you that after testing the WHITE FIFE WHEAT, imported by you from. the North Wet last fall, I have no hesitation in recommend
ing it to the farmers of P. E. Island.
I sowed twenty grains without making any special selection, and out of the twenty, ninteen grew strong and / healthy.
Farmers in this seetion of the country pronounce your sced wheat the best sample that they have seen imported t
this Island. Yours ete.,
R. P. BAGNay, Farmer, Hazel Grove, P. EL
I still have a few bags of this
lspecially selected wheat to dis-
pose of.
