Dawson’s Golden Chaff. One of the hardiest Wheats we know. Heads 
bald; grain white, inclined to light amber; straw medium length.

SPRING WHEAT 
Marquis. A variety produced by scientific cross-breeding the old Calcutta 
and the frost-resisting Red Fyfe. Marquis Wheat is similar to Red Fyfe, 
but the heads are heavier and the stalks shorter and less likely to lodge. 
The kernel is flinty, a little darker red and plumper than Fyfe. It is beard¬ 
less, with smooth, yellow chaff, but its most valuable feature is its earli¬ 
ness, as it matures 7 to 10 days earlier than Red Fyfe.
