HOLDER of the WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP, and the GOLD MINE o/" WESTERN FARMERS; 1 
the EARLIEST MATURING WHEAT KNOWN; the HEAVIEST YIELDING VARIETY ON | 
'I'TT!'. MARKET. 200 BUSHELS FROM A 4-ACRE FIELD, 66^ POUNDS to the BUSHEL 1 
HAT Marquis Wheat means to 
Western farmers with their short 
seasons and early frosts, only the 
Western farmers know, and to find 
a wheat that ripens before 
the first frost and still give 
heavy yield, has been the 
aim of farm seed experts 
for years. ^^Dr. C. E. Saunders of 
the Central Experimental Farm 
at Ottawa, Canada-, achieved 
this ^hen by crossing Red 
Fyfe and a very early 
Indian Wheat, Red 
Calcutta, he pro 
duced Marquis. 
T t ripens 10 days 
earlier than Red 
Fyfe or any other 
variety, yields 5 to 10 
bushels more per acre 
than any other variety, and 
has splendid milling qualities. 
C^After a number of years' care- 
ful selection to fix the type, it was 
sent out to the Experimental F"arms 
and to a few farmers. It created a fu 
rore immediately. In iqu, entered 
Seager A\'heeler at the New York grain 
show, it won a one thousand dollar 
prize offered by Sir 'lliomas Shaugh- 
nessy for the best wheat grown o 
the continents of North and 
South America; in October 
1912, at the International Dry 
Farming Congress ' held at 
Lethbridge, Alta., it carried 
off the World's Championship, 
in the largest exhibition of grains ever 
held on the Co ntinent. C^Wheat was ex- 
hibited from Argentina, Australia, Pal- 
estine and all parts of the United States 
and Canada, and Marquis, grown by 
Mr. H. Holmes of Raymond, Alta., was 
declared to be superior to any ever shown, 
in all points: Quality of Grain, Milling Prop- 
erties, Size of Yield and Earliness. 4H,0n the 
growing crop there is little difference between 
Marquis and Red Fyfe; both are bald except for 
a few short awns at the top of the head. The . , _

Straw is shorter than that of Red Fyfe, which 
is considered an advantage as it makes for lar- 
ger heads and earliermaturity. <HIn the threshed 
rain there is a great difference; the Marquis 
Wheat is shorter, wider and deeper in the 
crease, and of a much deeper amber color 
than Red Fyfe and shells from 64 to 
\ pourids to the bushel. Figures 
quoted are from the reports of the 
Department of Agriculture of 
Canada and are authentic, and 
only submitted after years 
" thorough testing. We 
are selling this seed 
stock only in small 
quantities as we 
have a limited 
supply and wish 
to get it into the 
hands of as many farm- 
ers as possible. This is 
the first time it has been 
placed on the market. 4[.fVe 
nil send you a sample free of 
charge. Order your stock early and 
raise your own seed for next year. 
Marquis Wheat is going to revolu- 
tionize wheat growing in the North- 
west and the man who is first to recog- 
nize it is going to profit the most by it. 
Read the following from the Report 
of the Central Experimental Farm 
of the Dominion of Canada for the 
year ending 1910: 
<I."Marquis proved remarkably suc- 
cessful at many points last season, 
the yield of over 200 bushels from a 
4-acre field on the Brandon Experi- 
mental l''arm being worthy of special 
notice. Several farmers in Northern 
Saskatchewan and Alberta grew it with unusually 
good results. The best sample which reached the 
Cerealist's office was grown by Mr. E. B. Cay at 
Beatty, Sask., and showed the phenomenal weight 
of pounds to the measured bushel. Other ex- 
tremely fine samples were received from Mr. Martin 
Dornian, of Disley, Sask. (65 pounds per bushel), and 
from Mr. L. T. Symonds, of Marshall, Sask. {6^% pounds 
per bushel). In addition to its earliness, Marquis wheal 
is very desirable in certain sections on account of its some- 
what shorter straw than Red Fyfe. Its good appearance 
and excellent baking records have been discussed in previous 
reports." 20c. per lb., postpaid ; peck $1.00, bushel $3.50.
