LIST OF CHOICE FARM SEEDS FOR 1922. 
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 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. 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 earliest wheat known in Amer- 
ica. It is a short, stiff-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 diseases. Peck 80c; bushel $3.00; 5 bushels and over at $2.90 per bushel. 
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 ex- 
treme 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 
ES et puns milling and baking qualities. Peck 70c; bushel $2.60; 5 bushels or over at $2.50 
per bushel. 2 
WINTER WHEAT—lFor 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 
careful selective breeding at the Wisconsin HMxperiment Station. It was developed from ‘‘Pet- 
Kus,” 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 ena CL OE yield reported by the mem- 
bers of the Experiment Station was 8.7 bushels per acre more than the average yield of com- 
mon Winter Rye. Yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre are very common. Peck 55c; bushel $2.00. 
Rosen Rye—A winter variety developed a few years ago in Michigan, where it yields great crops. 
It has proved a first-class variety for this and -other states in this latitude and gives every in- 
dication now of becoming widely popular. It is a heavy yielder of plump heavy grain. Peck 
55c; bushel $2.00. 
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 
14% bushels of Peas to 1% bushels of Oats, mixed, to the acre.
