SPRING WHEAT 
754 New Marquis Beardless 
THE KING OF THE SPRING VARIETIES 
Marquis is supreme, it outstrips anything and 
everything in wheat. It is a factor of its own— 
shining forth in its greatness as the most wonderful 
achievement Agriculture has ever known. By far 
the best variety for the corn belt. 
This wheat has very stiff straw of medium 
height, which does not lodge easily, the heads 
are bald and quite heavy, have smooth yellow 
chaff; the kernels flinty, more round than those 
of other spring wheats, thicker and more plump, 
and of dark red color. 
755 Velvet Chaff Spring Wheat 
This is an extremely hardy, bearded variety of 
wonderful productiveness, generally yielding at 
least 10 bu. more per acre than other kinds of 
Spring Wheat. 
BARLEY 
685 Wisconsin No. 38 Barbless 
The Best Barley for Malting Purposes 
The new heavy yielding, smooth awn barley! Wis¬ 
consin Barbless or Wisconsin Pedigree No. 38 Barley 
was originated by the Wisconsin Experiment Sta¬ 
tion after years of breeding and selecting, and 
should be universally sown by farmers in or out of 
the state. It is a remarkably heavy yielder, with 
heavier, larger and plumper kernels and longer 
heads. Has yielded over 70 bushels per acre, of as 
fine a quality as you would want to see. 
686 Wisconsin Pedigree Bearded 
Originated by Pro. Moore, agronomist of the Wis¬ 
consin Experiment Station. Wherever tried the Pedi¬ 
gree Barley has yielded from 5 to 20 bu. more than 
common varieties. 
Pedigree Barley grows taller than any other 6- 
rowed sort and has very stiff straw, which stands up 
better. The heads are unusually large and long and 
are completely filled out with very plump grain, 
which is very uniform in size, brighter and whiter 
than that of most other sorts and very attractive. 
It is a barley the farmers can depend upon to pro¬ 
duce a big crop. 
« SPRING RYE 
A Most Profitable Crop 
Quite different from Winter Rye; highly valued 
as a catch crop. It is not only more productive, 
but the grain is of finer quality, grown in any 
latitude. Straw is of special value as it stands 
5 or 6 feet high, being better than that of Winter 
Rye and producing nearly four times as much 
straw as Oats. Produces 30 to 40 bushels of 
grain to the acr-e. As it does not stool like Win¬ 
ter Rye, not less than two bushels to the acre 
should be sown. 
«■ SPELTZ OR EMMER 
Sow lYz to 2 Bu. per Acre 
A valuable grain, closely related to wheat; the 
kernels, however, are tightly enclosed in the hulls 
or husk, and these adhere to the grain when it is 
threshed. Speltz is becoming more popular every 
year, as it produces good crops even under ad¬ 
verse circumstances where other grain fails. It 
withstands more dry weather than any other 
grain, and produces more food value per acre 
than any other cereal, while it is a most valuable 
feed for all kinds of stock. It can be fed to 
horses, the same as oats, with the hulls on. 
Speltz can be grown on most any kind of soil, 
rich or poor, wet or dry, as it will not lodge like 
other grain because of the stiff and strong straw, 
and will always bring the best returns. 
OATS 
Sow 2 ^ to 3 Bu. per Acre 
738 Improved Swedish Select 
Considered by many to be the most valuable oats 
raised today. It possesses striking features, the 
grain is short, plump, white, and very heavy, under 
favorable conditions averaging about 40 pounds to 
the measured bushel. Owing to its great root de¬ 
velopment it stands very high for its drought resist¬ 
ing qualities. At the Wisconsin Experiment Station 
it has stood at the head of the list for several years, 
having been distributed by that station as Wiscon¬ 
sin No. 4. 
739 Columbia 
Missouri State Experiment Station Development. 
Columbia is a strain of Fulghum, originated by the 
Missouri Station. It is similar to Kanota in many - 
respects, but not so sensitive to late seeding. In 
fact, Columbia does exceptionally well compared 
with other varieties when sown late. A very early 
oat; grain brownish gray; panicle open; straw short 
and stiff. 
736 Condon’s White Bonanza 
This year’s experimental tests again prove our 
claim that “White Bonanza’’ is the Greatest All 
Around Oat of the country. It is extremely vigorous, 
stiff straw, not too heavy, stands up remarkably 
fine; in fact, during heavy windstorms this summer 
it proved big enough for the job. Yield 65 to 75 bu. 
per acre. 
737 Iowar 
Iowa State Experiment Station Development. A 
single plant selection from Kherson (Sixty-Day) 
made by the Iowa Station in 1910. First distributed 
in 1919. Slightly later than Sixty-Day; grain white, 
small, usually awned; panicle open; straw some¬ 
what taller and stiffer than Sixty-Day. 
756 Gopher Minnesota No. 674 
Gopher is a white, early maturing variety with 
straw so stiff and strong that it does not lodge even 
on well-manured farm land. It is also adapted for 
growing on peat land. It is without any question the 
best oats for the rich dairy farms of southern Min¬ 
nesota, Iowa and Wisconsin and unequalled for 
sowing with clover and alfalfa as a nurse crop.

per acre. We believe our strain to be as pure as any obtainable but owing to the peculiar hy¬ 
bridization of Sugar Cane varieties, we cannot guarantee beyond the value of the purchase price.
