MARQUIS WHEAT 
The World's Championship Wheat 
Extremely Early. Wonderful Yielder. Good Quality. 
This wonderful new variety was originated at the Central Experimental Farm, and has since made 
a name for itself not only in Canada, but in the Dakotas and Minnesota, where it sprung into almost 
instantaneous favour. It's a good week or ten days earlier than ordinary Red Fife; has a shorter, stirrer 
straw; resists rust better, and gives 10% to 50% bigger yield per acre of rich, red, grain. It won the $1,000 
prize at the New York Land Show, open to the world, in 1911. It won the $3,000 prize at the international 
Dry Farming Congress, Lethbridge, Alberta, October, 1912. It also took the sweepstakes at the Dry Farming 
Congress, Tuisa, Oklahoma, 1913, and won again in 1914. Good, plump seed germinating 98 per cent.

BARLEY 
O. A. C. 21 . T ^ s nne stram O.A.C. 21, originated and lately introduced by Prof. Zavitz, of the Ontario 
" Agricultural College. It's a selection from Mandscheuri. Prof. Zavitz says of this barley's 
showing in co-operative experiments throughout Ontario for four years: "It surpassed Mandscheuri in 
yield of grain per acre, in freedom from rust and in both length and strength of straw. Most prominent 
variety in competitions in standing fields Seed Grain throughout Ontario. Captured practically all 
the prizes for six-rowed barley at largest competitions. Is the best variety now being grown on the 
farms of Ontario." 
At the Brandon Experimental Farm O. A. C. 21 ripened in 98 days and headed the list for yield 
per acre with 87 bushels and 24 pounds. Its average for five years, in which it also leads, was 68 bushels 
and 26 pounds per acre. The wide-awake farmer will get a start in this new variety this spring, if he is 
not already growing it. 
Per bushel, $2.10; 10 bushels or more $2.05 per bushel. 
Mensury Barley (Six-rowed): This popular standard, early-ripening, heavy-yielding variety needs

Farms and under ordinary farm conditions. Bushel, $2.10, 10 bushels or more $2.05 per bushel. ' 
Duckbill two-rowed. — A variety of merit, succeeding well on most soils. Per bush., $2.25.

catching weeds, while it also gives a big yield of splendid grain; extensively used for feeding hogs, cattle 
and poultry, making better pork than corn, the straw making good hay. It has no hull and as beards 
are also absent it is pleasant and easy to handle. It is no use for malting. It should be sown a week 
earlier than ordinary barley and at the rate of 1 l A bushels per acre (60 pounds per bushel). Per bush., $2.50. 
White Huliess.— Per bushel $3.00.

sort, except Silver Hull. Bush., $3.25.

FIELD PEAS 
Arthur Pea . Originated by Dr. A. P. Saunders of Central 
- Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The peas are 
of medium, or above medium size, round and yellowish in colour.

pr in POW Each year we find that the demand for CSw 
* ^ Peas increases, as the farmers find that 
there is great value as a soil enricher also when cut green. It 
makes excellent hay when cut and cured the same as Clover, then 
the stubble with the new growth may be turned under as fertilizer. 
If Kaffir Corn is sown with the Cow Peas it holds the vines off the 
ground causing a better growth. The plant is a legume and 
through the agency of nitrogen produces bacteria on its roots, 
adding to the growth and full plants. 
Whip-Poor- Will. — Light brown, speckled dark brown. Per lb., 
10 cts.; 10 lbs., 90 ots.; 100 lbs., $7.50.
