MARQUIS —Spring Wheat 
The Earliest The Most Productive 
The Highest in Quality 
This famous variety is of Canadian origin and was bred by crossing, 
Red Fife and Hard Calcutta, and acclimated Wheat from India. 
It retains the frost-resisting qualities of Red Fife and also the extreme 
earliness of Hard Calcutta. It attracted great attention in America 
at the New York Grain Exposition in 1911, when it was awarded 
the $1,000 prize given by Sir Thomas: Shaughnessy for the best 
Wheat in America. Marquis Wheat is almost ten days earlier than 
any other variety and matures—as severai farmers 
put it—in time to avoid rust, smut, or drought. 
As to productiveness many growers report 52 and 
more bushels per acre, but a five year average at 
Brandon Experiment Station was found to be 44 
bushels per acre. Milling tests show that this 
Wheat contains a greater quantity of gluten, 
is a better color, shows greater absorption, and 
is heavier in weight per bushel than any other 
Spring Wheat. Our stock was raised in the 
far north, and is early, hardy and productive. 
We strongly recommend our customers to try 
Marquis Wheat this year. (See engraving.)

HENDERSON’S SELECTED SPRING RYE 
A variety produced by planting Winter Rye in the spring for several 
years, and selecting the seed until the type is fixed. It is an excellent 
“ eacecrop where full-sown grain has been winter-killed, and also for 
odder. 
Price, peck $1.10; bushel (56 lbs.) $3.75; 10 bushel lots $3.65 per bu. 
BARLEY—BEARDED 
Should be grown more than it is. The straw makes excellent rouzh 
feed for all kinds of stock. It is also one of the best grains with which 
to sow down to grass in spring. Barley mea! is also a good food for all 
domestic animals and nearly equals Corn in feeding value. To produce 
large crops of Barley, the soil should be well prepared to receive the seed. 
It should be made fine, firm and fertile. 
Barley is a good crop to follow Corn grown on Clover sod. as the land is 
then in prime condition. Harrow and roll well after seeding. The crop 
should be harvested before it is too ripe, if a bright white berry is wanted. 
Sow 2% bushels per acre broadcast and 1% to 2 bushels per acre if drilled 
ODERBRUCKER. This is a stiff-strawed, heavy yielding, six-rowed, 
bearded variety, plump kernels. 
It has nearly double the amount of protein found in many other varieties: 
this makes it a valuable feeding Barley, which is an important considera- 
tion with the leading farmers who are now appreciating more and more 
the value of Barley as a feed for all kinds of stock, horses as well as cattle.
