FORAGE SEEDS, GRAINS, ETC.—Continued 
Marquis Wheat (Spring). In appearance 
Marquis wheat is similar to Red Fife, but the 
heads as a rule are heavier and the stalks 
shorter, making it less likely to lodge. The 
kernel is flinty, a little darker red and more 
plump than Fife. It is beardless, having 
smooth yellow chaff, but its most valuable 
feature lies in its earliness, as it matures a 
week or ten days earlier than the Red Fife. 
Thrashing reports from the Northwest indicate 
yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre; weight, 
64 to 66 pounds per measured bushel, and 
they report it to be of the highest milling 
quality. 
The seed resembles a small brown bean 
In appearance, and is one of the best vari¬ 
eties to sow, as it is extremely early, a 
good cropper, and produces more seed 
pods than most other kinds. A very val¬ 
uable forage plant. Sow at the rate of 
1 Vz bushels per acre.

Early English Dwarf Essex Rape 
Superior to any other variety offered. 
A forage plant of great merit, easily 
grown in any locality, and one of the most 
satisfactory quick-growing crops, especially 
for sheep. 
As a fattening food for sheep, cattle, 
calves or pigs, it is without a rival in point 
\ of cheapness, is hardy, withstands drought, 
and will produce a crop in any soil. The 
seed may be sown from May to July, 10 
to 12 pounds per acre.
