14 HENDERSON’S FARMERS MANUAL 
HENDERSON’S SUPERIOR SEED WHEAT. It 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 possible 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 
satisfactory crop to sow along with Grass seed. 
The prices herein named are those ruling at this date (March, 1939) for the crop 
of 1938, but they are subject to market fluctuations. Delivery, f. 0. b. New York, 
bags extra. Special quotations to large buyers.

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 Calevtta. 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 rec- 
ommend 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 
“catch-crop’’ where full-sown grain has been winter-killed, and also for 
fodder. 
Price, peck $1.00; bushel (56 Ibs.) $3.50; 10 bushel lots $3.40 per bu. 
BARLEY—BEARDED 
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% bushels per acre broadcast and 1% to 2 bushels per acre if drilled. 
ALPHA. A two-rowed variety heavy cropper, used extensively in Eastern 
States with success. 
Price, peck, $1.25; bushel (48 Ibs.) $3.50; 10 bushels $3.40 per bushel. 
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.
