SPRING 
WHEAT 
The above field of Spring wheat was grown by Mr. Myron 
Swank, Ringtown, Schuylkill County, Pa. Yields fairly well. 
Makes good flour. Mostly sown in higher portions of Penn¬ 
sylvania and in States North. "Marquis” is early and not 
often subject to rust and disease. Grain is smaller than 
Winter Wheat. Our "Marquis” seed comes from Minne¬ 
sota—is clean, and carries the tendencies of the Northwest 
—earliness, hardiness, productiveness. 
SPELTZ Adapted to a wide range of soil and climate. Eaten by 
cows—horses—cattle—hogs. Often mixed with bran shorts. 
Resists drought. Ripens early. Does not rust or smut 
like other grains. Not readily damaged by harvest rains. 
Grows on poor land. Sow 2 bushels per acre—handle like 
oats. 
SPRING Sown to produce grain, also sown with other grains for 
pastures and soiling purposes—and for nurse crops, 
be sown early, same as oats. Seed should be brought 
from the North. Spring Rye is not as plump grained as 
Winter Rye. Doesn’t grow as tall.
