HEAVY YIELDER—HARDY 
These are the two special points about Forward wheat. It has yielded very 
well each of the past fourteen years. Many splendid reports have come from 
folks who have found a better profit in this wheat than any other they have 
ever planted. Gains of many extra bushels per acre have been made time and 
again. And no other variety excels "Forward” in hardiness and ability to 
withstand extremes of unfavorable weather. 
"Forward” grows a medium-size head. (See picture on front page this 
booklet.) A good stiff straw. The grain is plump, and of nice size. The plants 
stool well. Forward ripens in mid-season. Because of its good yields, year 
after year, and its many other desirable traits . . . Forward wheat has earned 
a permanent place on many eastern farms. It will give a good account of 
itself for you. See Price List. 
FERTILIZER. ... If soil is thin and grows only short straw, use a 
formula that contains more ammonia and grow more straw. To make 
stiffer straw, use more phosphoric acid. To fill out the heads, use 
more potash. . . . Soils differ so much. Consult your local fertilizer 
man for your best formula. Apply 250 to 450 lbs. per acre.
