// IS grown especially for seed pur- 



poses from the choicest selected cross-bred and pedigreed strains, and recleaned at our warehouses (750,000 

 bushels capacity) which are equipped with modern seed-cleaning machinery. This enables us to supply 

 direct to the farmer plump and heavy seed, at lowest possit'le prices, when quality is considered 

 The variety offered is the best of the Spring Wheats, yield well, and the milling qualities 

 of the grain surpasses even the best of the Winter varieties. Spring Wheat is also a satis- 

 factory crop to sow along with Grass seed. 



The prices herein named are those ruling at this date (March, 1938) for the crop 

 of 1937 hut they are subject to market fluctuations. Delivery f. o. b. New York, bags

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 Bed 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 several 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 f -^'., 

 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.) 



Price, peck $1.00; bushel (60 lbs.) $3.50-,

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 

 "catch-crop" where full-sown grain has been winter-killed, and also for 

 fodder. 



Price, peck $1.10; bushel (56 lbs.) $3.75; 10 bushel lots $3.65 per bu. 



BARLEY— BE4RDED 



Should be grown more than it is. The straw makes excellent rough 

 feed for all kinds of stock. It is also one of the best grains with which 

 to sow down to grass in spring. Barley meal 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'A bushels per acre broadcast and 1}4 to 2 bushels per acre if drilled. 



ODERBRUCKER. This is a stiflf-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. 

 {See engraving.) 



Price, peck $1.25; bushel (48 lbs.) $3.50; 10 bushel lots per bushel $3.40.
