NORTHRUP, KING & CO.’S FARM SEEDS 
OATS—Cont. 
It is a small yellowish oat that 
weighs about 34 pounds a bushel. The 
hull is very thin, being easily shelled 
off in threshing if the concaves are 
set too closely.” 
Victory. A medium height early oat 
developed by the famous Svalof Sta¬ 
tion in Sweden. An excellent yield- 
er of the Swedish Select 
type, but in most sea¬ 
sons yields greater and 
better quality. 
RYE 
Rosen Rye (Winter). A 
variety introduced by the 
Michigan Experiment 
Station. Bright yellow¬ 
ish, plump, heavy ker¬ 
nels. Strong, stiff straw. 
Heavy yielder. 
Spring Rye. True Stock, 
Spring Rye makes an ex¬ 
cellent crop where win¬ 
ter grain has been killed 
out, or for sowing where 
a fall crop has not been 
planted. If desired it can 
be turned under and 
made to answer a good 
purpose in adding to the 
fertility of the soil. Sow 
seed same time as other 
spring grain. Does not 
grow quite so large 
straw as Winter Rye, 
but usually yields as 
well and grain is of fine 
quality. 
SPELTZ OR EMMER 
It is found to be adapted to a wide range of 
soil and climate, to resist extremes of weather, 
to be of superior feeding value and to yield so 
much more heavily than oats and barley as to 
insure its increasing popularity. 
WHEAT 
Durum or Macaroni Wheat. Out-yields any other 
variety of Spring Wheat and has proved to be 
practically immune to the dreaded rust. In grow¬ 
ing it resists extremes of weather which no other 
wheat will endure. In the field this wheat grows 
very strong and with surprising rapidity, so rap¬ 
idly as to get well ahead of the weeds. It does not 
shell or bleach; is almost hail proof owing to the 
tightness of the hull. 
Marquis Wheat. Pronounced by both farmers 
and millers the finest for the northwestern spring 
wheat territory. Marquis Wheat grades No. 1 
Hard and is of splendid appearance. Millers prefer 
this variety because of its splendid milling quali¬ 
ties and high gluten content. Marquis is a beard¬ 
less wheat, having smooth, yellow chaff. The 
kernel is fiinty, very dark red. It weighs 62 to 64 
pounds per bushel but is susceptible to rust. 
Marquis 
Wheat 
Thatcher Wheat. A new variety of Spring Wheat developed 
by the Minnesota Experiment Station for its resistance to 
stem rust. For several years Thatcher Wheat has consist¬ 
ently outyielded other varieties of Spring milling wheat in 
the North Central States and Canada. It is a good milling 
wheat, selling on a par with Marquis, Reward and others.
