Brant, Mich. 
Gentlemen: 
Enclosed another order for 200 lbs. of America’s 
Best Mixture. X sowed this seed last year, and it 
was very satisfactory. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) M. Carstensen, 
Speltz, also called Emmer, is quite different from the ordinary 
grain crop. It resembles Barley but is really a species of wheat. 
The grain is broader than Barley, and the kernels are not so tight¬ 
ly enclosed in the hull. The grain is softer. The shuck and grain 
both have good feeding value. It makes a rich feed that is pala¬ 
table and relished by all kinds of live stock. 
Characteristics 
It is a Russian grain. It is very resistant against cold, being grown in the 
northern states, Alaska, and in semi-arid regions. You will find it a remarkable 
drought resister. Neither is it easily affected by rust or blight. The straw is 
pithy and strong. Maturity is very early. A fine nurse crop. Produces a grain 
crop' under dry conditions that would cause a failure of other small grains. It 
seems to adapt itself to wide variations in climatic conditions. You will find it 
growing over a wide territory. 
Fine Stock Feed 
You can use it for poultry feed. Cows show a marked liking for it and it is 
often fed with bran and shorts to milk cows. Hogs thrive on it. It is a fattening 
grain and will put weight on hogs and cattle in a hurry. Speltz helps to cut down 
feed bills. It is good for pasture, fattens in the green state, and is a heavy 
stooler. We are sure you will like Speltz, and that it will prove a very profitable 
crop for you. 
Easy to Grow 
Prepare ground same as you would for any small grain crop. Sow 2 to 2 y 2 
bushels per acre. Drill or broadcast. Harvest when in hard dough stage. Thresh 
with ordinary grain thresher like wheat, but use fewer concaves. 
Consider its resistance against disease and drought and cold; its early maturity ; 
its heavy yields; its high feeding value and palatability. You will find it 
worthy of a trial and once tried 
we are sure you will al¬

Gentlemen: I never received your March price 
list, but am enclosing another order for seed. I 
always get my seed from you and am always sat¬ 
isfied and have good luck with them. My Alfalfa 
field that I planted with your seed was surely a 
picture last fall. Yours truly,
