MAKERS 
THE KING OF THE SPRING VARIETIES. 
BEARDLESS. 
Ten Days Earlier Than Other Types— Yields 
More Per Acre — Higher Milling Quality- 
It Is a Tremendous Yielder — Holds the 
World's Championship as the Best 
Wheat on Earth. 
Marquis is supreme, it outstrips anything and every- 
thing in wheat. It is a factor of its own — shining forth 
in its greatness as the most wonderful achievement 
Agriculture has ever known. By far the best variety 
for the corn belt. 
This wheat has very stiff straw of medrum height, which 
does not lodge easily, the heads are bald and quite heavy, 
have smooth yellow chafE; the kernels flinty, more round 
than those of other spring wheats, thicker and more plump, 
and of dark red color. Marquis weighs 64 to 66 lbs. per 
bushel, a flve-year average yield at the Brandon, Manitoba, 
experiment station was 44 bushels per acre. Almost with- 
out exception it will grade No. 1 Hard, and it is superior 
to any known variety in milling and baking qualities.

SPRING WHEAT 
Minnesota No. 169 Blue Stem 
BEABDIiIiSS 
Originated at the Minnesota Experimental Station. It 
is a progeny of Haynes' Pedigree Blue Stem, but much 
more productive. In quality it is equal to the best. ^ 
pound, 14 cents; pound, 24 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, post- 
paid. 
VELVET CHAFF SPRING WHEAT 
This is an extremely hardy, bearded variety of wonder- 
ful productiveness, generally yielding at least 10 bu. more 
per acre than other kinds of Spring Wheat, with the excep- 
tion of the Macaroni Wheat. Its long beard or spikelets 
as well as its heavy chaff protect it from fungous diseases, 
such as blight, rust, and smut. It is as hard and flinty 
as the best Fife Wheat, and no matter how unfavorable 
circumstances are, the Velvet Chaff always produces a good 
yield. On account of its great hardiness and iiroductive- 
ness no grain farmer should fail to sow at least a third 
or half of his area intended for Wheat to the Velvet Chaff. 
y2 pound, 15 cents; pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 70 cents, 
postpaid. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
Sow 1^ to 2 Bu. per Acre 
A valuable grain, closely related to wheat; the ker- 
nels, however, are tightly enclosed in the hulls or 
husk, and these adhere to the grain when it is threshed. 
Speltz is becoming more popular every year, as it pro- 
duces good crops even under adverse circumstances 
where other grain fails. It withstands more dry 
weather than any other grain, with the exception of 
Macaroni Wheat, and produces more food value per 
acre than any other cereal, while it is a most valuable 
feed for all kinds of stock. It can be fed to horses, the 
same as oats, with the hulls on. Speltz can be grown 
on most any kind of soil, rich or poor, wet or dry, as 
it will not lodge like other grain because of the stiff 
and strong straw, and will always bring the best re- 
turns. H pound, 12 cents; pound, 20 cents; 3 pounds, 
SO cents, postpaid. 
BARLEY 
Success Beardless 
Earliest Barley known. The straw is about the height 
of common Barley, but. better and will stand up on any 
land. This is beardlesS and as easy to grow and handle 
as oats. Hulls like the Manshury: heavy cropper; qual- 
ity excellent. ^ pound, 12 cents; pound, 20 cents; 3 
pounds, 50 cents, postpaid.

MAMMOTH SPRING RYE 
A Most Frofltalble Crop 
.Quite different from Winter Rye; highly valued as a 
catch crop. It is not only more productive but the 
grain is of finer quality, grown in any latitude. Straw 
is of special value as it stands 6 or 8 feet high, being 
better than that of Winter Rye and producing nearly 
four times as much straw as Oat^. Produces 30 to 40 
bushels of grain to the acre. As it does not stool like 
Winter Rye, not less than two bushels to the acre 
should be sown. H pound, 15 cents; pound, 25 cents; 
3 pounds, 70 cents, poatpala.
