MARQUIS SPRING WHEAT 
A variety produced by scientific cross breeding of the 
old Calcutta and the frost-resisting Red Fyfe variety. 
First introduced by the Central Experiment Station in 
Ottawa, Canada, and has since rapidly displaced many 
other varieties in the North West and in Canada. In 
appearance Marquis Wheat is similar to Red Fyfe, 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 that Fyfe. It is beard¬ 
less having smooth yellow chaff, but its most valuable 
feature lies in its earliness as it matures a week or ten 
days earlier than Red Fyfe. Thrashing reports from the 
Northwest indicate yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre. 
Weight 64 to 66 lbs. per measured bushel, and they report 
it to be of the highest milling quality. Not in many 
years has such a valuable variety been introduced. Our 
stock is strictly Canadian grow n and of the highest purity 
and germination. Farmers who planted Marquis Wheat 
in New England last season had most satisfactory returns. 
Price, qt., 25c; pk., $1.50; bush., $4.00.
