SPRING 
WHEAT 
“MARQUIS” VARIETY 
Yields fairly well. Makes good flour. Sow Spring Wheat 
in the higher portions of Pennsylvania and in States to the 
North. Marquis is early and not often subject to rust and 
disease. Grain is smaller than Winter Wheat. Our Mar¬ 
quis seed comes from Minnesota—is clean, and carries the 
tendencies of the Northwest—earliness, hardiness, produc¬ 
tiveness. 
SPELTZ Adapted to a wide range of soil and climate. Eaten by 
cows—horses—cattle—hogs. Often mixed with bran shorts. 
Resists drought. Ripens early. Does not rust or smut 
like other grains. Not readily damaged by harvest rains. 
Grows on poor land. Sow 2 bushels per acre—handle like 
oats. 
SPRING 
RYE 
Sown to produce grain, also sown with other grains for 
Spring pastures and soiling purposes—and for nurse crops. 
Should be sown early, same as oats. Seed should be brought 
from the North. Spring Rye is not as plump grained as 
Winter Rye. Doesn’t grow as tall. 
“Glad to say that I received 1,150 bu. of Forward 
Wheat this year when I threshed. This was grown on 
34 acres, and as you know I have been using your seed 
for several years and I am very much pleased, for it 
stands well in a storm and that is what I like.”
