Champion Speltz 
or EMMER 
Speltz or Emmer is an extremely hardy grain imported from Europe, where it is grown 
very extensively. On account of its ability to resist both cold and drought Spelts is 
found to be well adapted to the varied climatic conditions of this continent. 
LARGE YIELDS 
Are readily obtained from the Champion Speltz 
and fields that have been “run” and are not in 
condition to grow a crop of any other grain will 
produce a paying crop of Speltz. 
Given the same soil conditions 
Speltz has threshed 
More Bushels Per Acre 
than either Barley, Oats or Wheat 
The grain weighs 40 pounds per bushel and is contained in 
a heavy hull affording ample protection against bad weather 
conditions in harvesting. 
Champion Speltz is not susceptible to either rust or smut. 
The grain is very nutritious and both grain and straw are 
greatly relished by live stock. 
How to Grow 
Sow early in the spring. 
Use two bushels of seed 
per acre, sow either with drill or broadcast. It 
will stand well on rich land and will give a good 
yield on thin land. Cut when the grain has 
passed the milky period. Thresh the grain same 
as any grain crop but not so close as to remove 
the outer hulls. 
Orders for Champion Speltz should be given our local 
salesmen as early as possible. 
PROLIFIC 
BUCKWHEAT 
This variety of buckwheat is entirely distinct from other varieties, It remains in bloom 
longer and produces seed earlier. The seed is a rich dark brown color and considerably 
larger than Silver Hull. 
PRODUCTIVENESS 40 bushels Per Acre 
The grain is of splendid quality either for milling or feeding purposes. 
For this latitude seeding should be done about July 1st. This is a splendid “catch crop” 
to sow where a spring planting has failed for any cause. There is no better crop for 
cleaning foul land. We have seen quack grass entirely subdued by sowing buckwheat 
two years in succession. Sown very thin it makes a splendid “nurse crop” to start Alfalfa 
seeding.
