BARTELDES' SELECTED SEED WHEAT, RYE AND SPELTZ 
SEED WHEAT 
The varieties we consider the best 
Red Turkey and Kharkov, bearded hard varieties. 
We would be very pleased to send samples, descriptions and prices in season. 
We can furnish, in the fall, several good varieties of seed wheat, 
are as follows: 
Red Wave, Harvest Queen, Pearl's Prolific and 
Red Cross, all of these are smooth, soft varieties. 
FERTILIZE YOUR WHEAT FIELDS 
With peace in sight we are sure that the Price of wheat will be much lower for the 1920 harvest. There- 
fore get the most you can from your land now and get the benefit of the present high prices. A top dressing 
of fertilizer on your wheat in the spring will increase the yield and give you a handsome profit. 
GENUINE HARDY WINTER EMMER 
There is no grain crop that has received such nattering reports from the United States Department 
of Agriculture as Winter Emmer. Seed is sown about the same time as winter wheat and the soil should 
be prepared in the same way. Emmer will stand more dry weather than oats will, and will also out-yield 
oats. Seed that we offer yielded 50 bushels per acre. In feeding experiments Emmer has been found to 
be better than barley or oats. Will also make an abundance of fine pasture. The plants are very hardy 
and produce rather coarse leaves that are resistant to the most severe drought. It is therefore, a crop that 
is well adapted to the general conditions of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. It requires about 
50 to 60 lbs. of seed to sow an acre. 
A SPRING WHEAT 
MACARONI WHEAT "KUBANKA." A Wheat 
that will grow where other varieties fail. The last 
three seasons have brought to us many samples of 
Macaroni or Durum Wheat to be tested. We have 
followed the experiments very carefully and now 
we are convinced the variety "Kubanka" is the 
most satisfactory. The variety is no longer an 
experiment for yield or quality of grain. In fact we 
hear nothing but praise of its wonderful drought- 
resisting qualities and heavy yield. The reports of 
yield are from 28 bushels to 45 bushels per acre and 
many report such yields without irrigation. Minne- 
apolis and Illinois millers have bought the grain 
this last season from us for milling. 
Seeds go at parcel post rates, 
quantities. 
SEED RYE. Rye does best in rich sandy soil, 
and is a sure cropper almost every year. Should 
be sown in August or September either in drills or 
broadcast at the rate of one to one and a half bushels 
to the acre. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER. A grain for dry lands 
introduced from Russia. This is a remarkable 
grain, and should receive the attention of all far- 
mers. It is a species of drought-resisting Barley, 
and not inclined to rust. It will produce a fair 
crop under almost any condition of climate, but 
grows best in dry prairie regions with hot summers, 
giving excellent results. Thrives on poor land in 
stony ground. The experiment stations of both 
Dakotas report that it resists drought more than 
oats or barley. All animals eat it greedily and are 
fond of the straw. It will undoubtedly become a 
regular valuable crop for stock feed. Sow 70 to 80 
pounds per acre very early, same as barley or oats. 
Our seed is Kansas grown and acclimated.
