north, which assures its hardiness in all 
sections of the country. Peck 60c.,

MAY'S MINNESOTA SPRING 
WHEAT NO. 163 
ORIGINATED at the State Experimental 
Farm, and was introduced by us four 
years ago. The heads are long, well filled 
with medium sized, plump kernels. Flour 
made from this variety shows a higher glu- 
ten test than most sorts. The straw is medi- 
um height, very strong, wiry, never known 
to lodge or rust. Peck 60c., bushel $1.90.

*HE REVOLUTIONARY 
WHEAT of the North 
West. It ripens lo d 
earlierthan any other 
variety and yield 
5 to lo bushels 
more to the 
acre. The 
berry is 
a deep 
am- 
thousand dollar prize in 
191 1 in competition with 
wheat from all parts of 
the World. We can- 
not recommend 
this too strongly 
to farmers of 
the North- 
west as it 
means 
the 
ber 
in col- 
or, and 
short, wide 
and deeply 
creased; shells 
out from 64 to 66 J 
pounds to the bush- 
el and is superior to 
any variety yet shown 
in quality of grain, milling 
properties, size of yield and 
earliness. The straw is 
short and the quick- 
ness with which it 
comes to maturity in- 
sures a crop in 
those parts of 
the country 
whereearly frosts 
are likely to kill 
all other wheats. It 
was produced by a cros- 
sing of Red Fyfe and an 
early Indian Wheat, 
Red Calcutta, at the Canadian 
experimental farm and won the 
as- 
sur- 
ance of 
the best 
of wheat 
crops. We will 
send you a sample 
free of charge. Or- 
der your stock early 
and raise your own seed 
for next year. Marquis 
zvheatis going to revolution- 
ize wheat grotving in the 
Norlhzvest and the man 
who first recognizes it is 
going to profit the most 
by it. Marquis proved 
remarkably success- 
ful at many points 
last season, the 
yield of over 200 
bushels from a 4- 
acre field on the 
Brandon Experimental 
Farm being worthy of special 
notice. Several farmers in North- 
ern Saskatchewan grew it with 
unusually satisfactory results.

granary August 6. The shorter period required for a wheat to grow the more valuable it will be to a locality subject 
to droughts and hot winds. This wheat gives the best results on new land. Peck 65c., bushel $2.00. 
MAY'S MINNESOTA NUMBER 169 
THE ONLY WHEAT AWARDED "GRAND PRIZE" (THE HIGHEST 
POSSIBLE AWARD) AT THE WORLD'S PAIR, ST. LOUIS, IN 1904 
MINNESOTA NO. 169 
WAS FIRST sent out by the Minnesota Experimental Station,in JQOS, ten years after being started from a single seed 
of Blue Stem. During that time it was carefully grown and watched, and the greatly increased yield at all 
times over the parent varieties encouraged the growers to foster the crop until a sufficient quantity should be secured 
to make an e.vtensive and thorough trial of it in all sections of the state. These trials produced tremendous results 
the average yield of it being i8 per cent more than any other sort on the same soil. Its millingand baking qualities 
have been thoroughly tested and found equal to the best of the older and well known sorts. Found 20c., postpaid; 
peck 6Sc., bushel $2.00, bag (2 1-2 bushels) $4.75. 
For 10c a sample of any of the above varieties will be sent those who wish to inspect before purchasing.
