SEED OATS 
Farmers should select their seed oats for this year’s 
planting with unusual care. Most home grown stocks 
are very dark colored, showing signs of rust and smut 
and generally of inferior quality, owing to unfavorable 
conditions throughout the season of 1915 and especially 
at harvest time, making a change from home grown 
stocks especially essential this year. 
Our entire stock of the popular King Seed Oats was 
rendered unfit for seed purposes by continuous wet 
weather during the harvest season of 1915. 
Breck’s Alberta Prolific Seed Oats 
This popular Canadian Seed Oat is an early ripening 
variety, close or cluster headed, straw of strong, heavy, 
sturdy growth, regarded in the western states and in the 
Canadian northwest, particularly in the province of 
Alberta, as one of the earliest and most prolific varieties. 
We have secured for our 1916 seed stock a choice stock 
of exceptionally bright color, grain plump, clean and of 
uniform grade, weighing 40 to 43 lbs. and more to the 
measured bushel. Price per bushel of 32 lbs. $1.50; 10 
buahels and over $1.25; f. o. b. Boston, bags extra at 
value. (Seed shipped 3 bushels to the bag if required). 
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 than 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 
North West, 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 grown and of the highest purity 
and germination. Farmers who planted Marquis Wheat 
in New England last season had most satisfactory returns. 
Price, qt., 20c; pk., 75c; bu., $2.75.

White Montana Oats 
A short seeded variety, grain bright colored, heavy, 
close headed, tall growing. Our seed stock grown on the 
irrigated farms of northern Montana, where on account 
•f total lack of rain during harvesting season, can be 
obtained oats of strong germination, free from rust or 
smut. Our stock has been carefully recleaned to take 
out all foreign seeds except now and then a trace of 
wheat. Price per bushel of 32 lbs., $1.25; 10 bushels and 
over $1.15 a bushel, f. o. b. Boston. (This stock will 
weigh nearly 45 lbs. to the measured bushel and can be 
shipped 3 bushels to the bag).
