SPELTZ OR EMMBER. 
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 tke average yield of Min-=- 
nesota No. 169 Wheat to be 18 per cent. more than any other variety of Wheat. 
Minnesota No. 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 Wheat. During that time it was 
earefully 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 50c; bushel $1.75; 2% bushels $4.25. 
MARQUIS WHEAT. 
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 Hed 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 
60ce; bushel $2.00. 
DURUM OR MACARONI (Variety Kubanka.) 
The Most Valuable Wheat for Dry and Semi-Arid Sections, Yielding Heavy Crops Where 
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 80 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 50c; bushel $1.75; 2% bushels $4.25. 
RED FIFE SPRING WHEAT. 
The Hardest and Best Milling Wheat 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 50c; bushel $1.85; 2% bushels $4.50. 
VELVET CHAFF OR BLUE 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 50c; bushel $1.75; 
2% bushels $4.25. 
Winter Wheat—The leading varieties ready for delivery after harvest in summer. Prices
