Italian Spring Wheat.
THE subscriber offers for sale ; bush
elsof this famous Wheat, growth of
the present season, received direct from J.
Hathaway, Esq., of Rome, Oneida county,
?New York, i" ~ - : 1 ;rV ^ 4
On the sterling qualities of this Wheat Mr. Hatha
way remarks:?". The Italian Spring Wheat, which
has been disseminated through my means, < is an ex
cellent grain, and a very surecrop,; it yields largely,
and has the wonderful property of doing well on poor
worn-out land, though oftourse the trap will he hea
vier on a more favorable soil : the fact is well ascer
tained here, that land so light and worn down that it
will not produce a crop of oats, will bring a fair crop
of Spring Wheat. The original imported Wheat
weighed full 631bs. to the bushel ; and now that the
fifth crop has come in, it weighs 621 bs. The flour is
fine, and the yield good; the miller speaks highly of
its qualities, and the flour makes good, light, sweet
bread, rather more jmoist, perhaps, than that from
winter wheat. The Italian is a bearded wheat, white
chaff, tiright yellow straw, theljerry variable in col
or, generally of a reddish yellow.
"The proper time for sowing is in April, if the
ground can be well fitted ; this season has been pe
culiar, and late sown wheat has succeeded best with
us, and in some instances ripened soonest. It is sel
dom affected with smut, and, iflimed. nerer. From
one and one fourth to one and a half bushels of. seed
are sown to the acre, rich land requiring the most.
This wheat appears to be a cosmopolite, as it grows
well and does well on almost every variety of soil,
from a stiff clay to a sandy plain ; it usually ripens by
the 14th August, and yields from fifteen to thirty-five
bushels per acre, although in this county (Oneida)
we have very little good wheat land. ?*'
" I came in possession of the original wheat by ac
cident. An Italian gentleman of Florence married
against his father's will, was i.isinherited, and cmi,
grated to America, bringing, among a quantity of oth
er seeds, a tierce of this wheat, intending to turn far-"
mer. The wheatdid notarrive seasonably for Spring
sowing in this place, and Was left in a srorehouse on
the canal. The gentleman contracted for a farm in
the town of Florence in this county, (induced by the
name, probably,) was no farmer, made bad calcula
tions and worse experiments, and failed in every
thing, soon became reduced, and was about to eat his
imported wheat, when I happened to see it, was
struck with its excellence, and as I had advanced him
money on it to pay trajisit and charges, took it at its

I LOVE THEE MORE AND MORE.
Faithful in fortune's darkest hour,
Till then our tovos w'^rti dream* of youth?
'Twas thert I felt affection's pbwgf,
'Twas then I proved' thy bosom's truth.
Yes, when I see the gushing tfcar .
Bedjm the eye that thrill'u before,
I fee] that thou indeed aVtdc&r, ^ .. -
And love thee? love thee mora and mur*.
Waked from a soft Ely si an trance - - '
To life's. severe reality, ? .?-? - j
I find in. thy more pensive glance' _ " " ,
A deeper, sweeter sympathy.
Our griefs as from one ountain spring, -
. ; Now that our mutual joys are o'er?
Yes, not a sorrow time may bring,
, But I shall love thee more and more.
- I'll clasp thee yet? I'll clasp thee yc?,t.
- v Though passion^ burning hour is past,^
Nor breathe one accent to regret
That the bright moments fled so fa?t ;
Nay, the more dark cheeky may b#^
. And the more loud the storm may roar.
The. closer will 1 cling to thee,
? And love thee? love thee more and more. * . : I
Thus for together have we come ? " ?

But should my fate be first to die, * S*! "
While death stands beck'ning at the doorr ^ jg
I'll turn to. thee, and fointly sigh,
