WHEAT 



MARQUIS WHEAT. 



The Wheat destined to "revolutionize wheat growing- in the Northwest." Originated at 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. It is a week to 10 dalys 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. Peck 70c; bushel $2.60; 5 bushels or over at $2.50 per bushel. 



WISCONSIN WONDER. 



A new Spring Wheat produced in Wisconsin and said to be the earlies* wheat knotvn in America. It 



is a short, stifC-strawed, bearded variety, ready in 80 to 90 days, or earlier, never lodges, stools out 

 little and is unexcelled as a nurse crop for clovers and alfalfa. Yields heavily a hard, red wheat 

 easily grading No. 1 Northern. Because of its extreme earliness it is not subject to rust or other dis- 

 eases. Peck 80c; bushel $3.00; 5 bushels and over at $2.90 per bushel. 



DURUM OR MACARONI (Variety Knbanka). 



The Most Valuable Wheat for Dry and Semi-Arid Sections, Tieldiu^ Heavy Crops Where Other 

 Sorts Fail. 



Durum Wheat is particularly adapted to dry and semi-arid districts, being extremely resistant 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. Again and again during recent 

 years there have been reports of crops of Blue Stem Wheat in North Dakota not worth harvesting, 

 while in the adjoining fields Durum Wheat yielded close to 80 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 70c; bushel $2.50; 5 bushels or over at $2.40 per bushel. 



WINTER WHEAT — For fall shipment we offer standard varieties of Winter Wheat — Turkey Red, 

 Wisconsin Pedigree, Gladden, etc. Write for prices. 



RYE. 



Rye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. It is a paying crop, even 



on poor, sandy soils. It is also a very valuable crop with which to seed down grasses. 



Spring- — This Rye is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has failed. Peck 70c; 

 bushel $2.60. 



Wisconsin Pedigree Rye No. 1 — A strain of winter Rye secured after a dozen years of the most care- 

 ful selective breeding at the Wisconsin Experiment Station. It was developed from "Petkus," but 

 the new grain outyields even that fine, heavy yielding sort. The straw is very long, strong and 

 stiff, not lodging readily even on rich soils, the kernel is uniformly very large and plump heads of 

 unusual length. A year or two ago the average yield reported by the members of the Experiment 

 Station was 8.7 bushels per acre more than the average yield of common Winter Rye. Yields of 

 40 to 50 bushels per acre are very common. Peck 55c; bushel $2.00. 



ROSEN WINTER RYE — Certifled. This variety, developed from a Russian strain at the Michigan Ag- 

 ricultural' Station, has been found in many conclusive trials in this and surrounding states to be 

 in a number of ways superior to any other fall Rye. Yields run from 5 to 12 bushels more per 

 acre. The grain is larger and produces more flour per bushel. The heads are an inch longer than 

 common Rye. The straw is short and stil¥ — does not lodge easily. For best results only the purest 

 seed obtainable should be sow^n. and to prevent deterioration no other variety should be grown 

 nearby, as Ryes cross very readily. In fact, much of the so-called Rosen Rye now being offered is 

 already badly mixed with inferior strains. Our seed comes direct from the Michigan State Farm 

 Bureau and is certified PURE ROSEN RYE. Price, peck 60c; 1 bushel $2.25; 5 bushel at $2.15 per bu. 



FIELD PEAS FOR FEEDING, 

 Canadian Field Peas can be very profitably sown along with oats and either eaten off the field by 



cattle or hogs, or allowed to ripen, when they can. be readily separated by any farm seed mill. In 



this way two crops can be grown at the one cultivation. 



Sow broadcast, if alone, 3 bushels of Peas per acre (60 lbs. to the bushel), or In combination 1% 



bushels of Peas to 1% bushels of Oats, mixed, to the acre. 



Canadian White — Per 100 lbs $7.75 Canadian Blue — Per 100 lbs $ 9.75 



Scotch — Per 100 lbs lO.OO 



SPELTZ OR EMMER. 



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

 ditions of Weather and Climate. Grand Drouf^ht Resister. Withstands the extremes of heat and cold 

 better than any cereal we know of. It is readily eaten by all kinds of stock. Including 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 at- 

 tacked by rust or smut, and Is not harmed by frost. Sow broadcast, using 60 to 80 lbs. per acre. 

 Weight per bushel 40 lbs. Peck 50c; bushel $1.75; 5 bushels $8.50'.
