TESTED FAM. 



HENDERSON'S 

 SUPEMOBv 



SPRING SEED WHEAT 



GPsOWN FKOM 

 PEDIGKEE STRAINS 



HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEED WHEAT is not only grown especially for seed purposes from choicest selected cross-bred and 

 pedigree strains, but it is all recleaned at our warehouses (750,000 bushels capacity), which are equipped with the most modem seed- 

 cleaning machinery' in America. This enables ii? to supply direct to the farmer plump and heavy seed, of undoubted superiority, at 

 lowest possible prices, where quality is considered. Often through pressure of other work, the seeding of Winter WTieat is neglected 

 until too late and is either not sown at aU or results in failure. With the two varieties of Spring Wheat here ofiEered, this diSBculty can 

 be overcome by Spring sowing. They are the best of the Spring Wheats, yield well, and the milling quality of the grain surpasses 

 even the Ivest of the Winter varieties. Spring Wheat is also a satisfactory crop to sow along with Grass seed. 



The prices herein named are those ruling at this date (February, 1916) for the crop of 1915 but they are subject to market fluctuations.

MARQUIS SPRING WHEAT 



The Earliest The Most Productive The Highest in Quality 



This famous variety is of Canadian origin and was bred by cross- 

 ing Red Fife and Hard. Calcutta, an acclimated Wheat from India. 

 It retains the frost-resisting qualities of Red Fife and also the ex- 

 treme earliness of Hard Calcutta. It attracted great attention in 

 America at the New York Grain Exposition in 1911, when it was 

 awarded the SI, 000 prize given by Sir Thomas Shaughnessy for 

 the best W^eat 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 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 engraiing.') Price, bushel (60 lbs.), $3.00; 10-bushel 

 lots @ $2.90.
