SPRING 
WHEAT 
New 
Marquis 
A Beardless Variety 
This variety originated in Canada and ln\s been 
a leader for many years. The berry is short, plump 
and hard. It has a dark reddish color. Weighs 
out surprisingly heavy per measured bushel often 
testing 62 to as high as 64 pounds. It has excel¬ 
lent milling qualities and in demand by elevators 
and millers. 
New Marquis matures early which is a very def¬ 
inite factor in its favor and one of the reasons it 
maintains its popularity throughout the many 
years it has been grown. Its medium short straw 
is stiff and stands up well. 
New Marquis Widely Known 
The value of this variety is recognized over a 
wide territory. It is grown well into the winter 
wheat section. When sown early and northern 
grown seed is used it gives surprisingly satisfac¬ 
tory results. Millers desiring this type of wheat 
to blend in their flour will often encourage their 
local farmers to grow some of it. They have 
learned however to advise northern grown seed 
each year because that generally assures earlier 
maturity, bigger yields and better quality. 
FLAX 
Altho Flax used to be grown 
only on new sod, this new Wilt 
Resistant variety can be grown 
successfully on old clean fields. 
Good corn land will produce 
good flax. This crop always 
brings a good price and is quite 
profitable to grow as it also 
yields well. 
Sow early about same time you 
do spring grain on a clean field at 
rate of about one-half bushel per 
acre. Harrow in well as flax likes 
a firm seed bed. Flax also makes 
a splendid “Nurse Crop” for grass 
and clovers. Harvest like ordinary 
small grain and thresh with ordinary 
Grain Separator. 
SUNFIELD’S FLAX SEED comes from 
clean fields in the far north and highly 
graded to make it still cleaner. 
BUCKWHEAT 
A dandy quick growing grain crop which 
usually matures in 10 to 12 weeks. Makes 
an excellent “catch crop” for it can be planted 
either real early in spring or late mid-sum¬ 
mer. Frequently sowed after small grain 
crop is taken off field and thus make two 
crops in one season on same field. A good 
cover crop and soil builder. 
Plant on well drained field worked same 
as for small grain at rate of about half 
bushel per acre. Harvest for seed crop right 
after about half of seed seems to be ma¬ 
tured, with binder. Thresh same as small 
grain. 
JAPANESE—Largest seed and most 
prolific grower and producer. Best variety 
to grow for seed production or home use. 
SILVER HULL—Grain smaller, light 
grey, early, with thin hull. This variety 
preferred by Flour Mills because of its 
high flour contents. High yielding and 
usually matures in ten weeks. 
New Progress 
A comparatively “New Comer” 
which is winning so many 
friends on account of its un¬ 
usual hardiness and high yield¬ 
ing properties. A fine wheat. 
Straw medium tall and leafy. 
Heads a little longer than the Mar¬ 
quis and Bearded for protection of 
grain from early heat. This fea¬ 
ture usually makes it more pro¬ 
ductive as the beards give protec¬ 
tion to the grain while developing 
from the “dough stage.” Grain long¬ 
er and more slender than Marquis. 
Plant more resistant to rust. This 
variety introduced by the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Department. 
SUNFIELD’S SPRING WHEAT is 
carefully selected Seed from the far north¬ 
ern states highly recleaned and graded. 
The kind to plant for better yields. 
SPRING RYE 
A distinctive variety for spring planting. 
Can be grown for grain, pasture and hay. 
A valuable crop to grow for early and quick 
pasture for it can be pastured early in the 
spring and yet produce a good field of grain. 
Makes an excellent soil builder and can be 
grown successfuly on soil too thin or too poor 
for other cereal crops. Plant at the rate of 
about One and One-half bushel per acre in 
same manner as oats or barley. Crop is har¬ 
vested like other small grain. 
SUNFIELD’S SPRING RYE is far northern 
grown, closely recleaned and graded; tested before 
shipping.
