WHEAT. 



MINNESOTA NO. 169 SPRING WHEAT. 



The only Wheat awarded a "Grand Prize" (the highest possible award) at the World's Fair, 

 St. Louis, 1904. 



In 1902 the result of trials made by 89 farmers in Minnesota show the average yield of Min- 

 nesota No. 169 Wheat to he IS per cent, more than any other variety of Wheat. 



Minnesota Mo. 169 Wheat was first sent out by the Minnesota Experiment Station in 1902, 

 ten years after being- started from a single seed of Blue Stem AVheat. During- that time it was 

 carefully grown and watched, and the greatly increased yield at all times over the parent va- 

 riety encouraged the growers to foster the crop until a sufficient quantity should be secured 

 to make an extensive and thorough trial of It in all sections of the state. These trials pro- 

 duced marvelous results, the average yield of it being 18 per cent, more than any other sort on 

 the same soil. Its milling and baking qualities have been thoroughly tested and found equal 

 to- the best of the older and well-known sorts generally grown in the large wheat producing 

 sections. Peck 55c; bushel $1.90; 2% bushels $4.50. 



MARQUIS AVHEAT. 



The Wheat destined to "revolutionize wheat growing in the Northwest." Originated by 

 Dr. Chas. E. Saunders of the Central Experiment Station, Ottawa, Canada, by crossing Red Fife 

 and Red Calcutta, a very early Wheat from India, the result being a Wheat combining the 

 extreme earliness of the one with the frost resisting and heavy yielding qualities of the other. 

 "Marquis" took Sir Thos. Shaughnessy's $1,000.00 prize for the best Wheat in America, and 

 later the World's Championship against all comers. It is a week to 10 days earlier than Red 

 Fife or any other sort, and yields 5 to 10 bushels more per acre, the" grain being flinty, short, 

 wide, plump and deep amber in color. The heads are very heavy, and the stalk stout and 

 shorter than Red Fife. Beardless, except for a few short awns at the top. This variety -will no 

 doubt prove itself superior to all others in earliness, yield, quality and milling properties. Peck 

 60c; bushel $2.25. 



DURUM OR MACARONI (Variety Kuhanka.) 



The Most Valuable AVheat for Dry and Semi-Arid Sections, Yielding Heavy Crops AVhere 

 Other Sorts Fail. 



Durum Wheat is particularly adapted to dry and semi-arid districts, being extremely re- 

 sistant of drought, the attack of fungus pests, rust and smut, always furnishing an excellent 

 hard grain. 



Enormous yields of Durum Wheat are reported from Kansas. Dakota. Nebraska and the 

 extreme Western States, in some instances reaching SO bushels per acre. We have before us 

 reports of crops of Blue Stem Wheat in North Dakota not worth harvesting, while in the ad- 

 joining fields Durum Wheat yielded close to 30 bushels per acre. It is now considered a Wheat 

 of the highest class, ranking with Hard Spring and Hard Winter Wheat in its milling and 

 baking qualities. Peck 55c; bushel $1.90; 2V 2 bushels $4.50. 



RED FIFE SPRING WHEAT. 



The Hardest and Rest Milling AA'heat Known. Other' good qualities are earliness. vigor of 

 growth and productiveness. Beardless; kernels hard and flinty. Adapted to all states where 

 Spring Wheat can be grown. Peck 55c; bushel $1.90; 2% bushels $4.50. 



.VELVET CHAFF OR HLUE STEM WHEAT. 



A popular Spring Wheat in the Middle West. It is a large yielder, producing heavy crops 

 where other sorts fail. Milling qualities compare favorably with Fife. Peck 55c; bushel $1.90; 

 2% bushels $4.50. 



AVinter AVheat — The leading varieties ready for delivery after harvest in summer. Prices 

 on application. 



SPELTZ OR EMMER. 



Should Have a Place on All Farms. A Sure Early Cropper in Any Kind of Soil and Under 

 All Conditions of AVenther and Climate. Grand Drought Resister. Withstands the extremes of 

 heat and cold better than any cereal we know of. It is readily eaten by all kinds of stock, in- 

 cluding chickens, geese, horses, cattle, swine and sheep, and its feeding qualities are excellent; 

 is enormously productive and can be treated in the same manner as other grain. It outyields 

 oats, barley, wheat, etc., is not attacked by rust or smut, and is not harmed by frost. Sow broad- 

 cast, using 60 to SO lbs. per acre. Weight per bushel 40 lbs. Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels 

 $6.00. 



Subject to Market Fluctuations. Two Bushel Seamless Bags, 22c each.
