SEED WHEAT 
MARQUIS WHEAT is the standard, hard, 
red, spring wheat for irrigated sections 
of the West. It is early maturing and 
high yielding. It is beardless, short, 
stiff-strawed. 
KOMAR WHEAT is the name given to 
a bearded hard red spring wheat, 
produced by crossing 
Kota and Marquis at the 
North Dakota Experiment 
Station. After experimen- 
tal trials at the Fort Col- 
lins and Fort Lewis sta- 
tion under irrigation and 
at the U. 8. Dryland Sta- 
tion near Akron, this va- 
riety has been released 
as standard for Colorado 
on both irrigated and non- 
irrigated land. 
REWARD WHEAT is a very 
new, high yielding, beard- 
less, hard, red spring 
wheat for the drylands 
and non-irrigated areas. 
It has proven satisfactory 
under irrigated conditions 
where the water supply 
is limited. It shows prom- 
ising for milling and bak- 
ing. 
THATCHER WHEAT. A new 
beardless, hard red spring 
wheat that yields at the 
Fort Collins Station about 
the same as Komar. It is 
adapted to irrigated conditions only and may 
replace Komar in this area. It is rust resistant. 
SPELTZ or SPRING EMMER resembles barley and 
wheat. Is of rapid growth and ripens early. 
Withstands more drought and unfavorable soil 
and weather conditions than most grains. 
BUCKWHEAT does best where the climate is moist 
and cool, but it is sensitive to cold. It is a short 
season, early-maturing crop. It can be sown 
quite late. It is a good crop for poor, thin land, 
and does well on acid soils. It is used as a soil- 
age crop. 
SEED RYE 
SPRING RYE is an excellent soiler and can be 
produced on poor, worn out land under dry con- 
ditions where other grains would fail. It is useful 
as a cleaning crop for the purpose of eradicating 
wild oats. Makes early pasture and may be cut 
and cured for hay. When sown with vetch its 
value for pasture and hay is greatly enhanced. 
WINTER or FALL RYE serves a very useful pur- 
pose for pasture and hay. May be sown in the 
spring and summer as well as in the fall. When 
Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into the 
following season before maturing, thus making 
it a biennial.

SEEDS 
SEED BARLEY 
BALD or NEPAL BARLEY. An early va- 
riety that withstands drought remark- 
ably well and ofttimes surviving when 
wheat fails. It has no beard and shells 
off its hulls the same as wheat. A very 
desirable crop for green feed or hay 
or for grain. 
LICO BARLEY is a smooth 
awned (without barbs or 
beards), six-rowed, hulled 
barley. It has less flinty 
kernels and is earlier and 
stiffer strawed than Trebi. 
Adapted to irrigated con- 
ditions. 
TREBI. Six-row, bearded, 
hulled barley with large, 
bluish kernels, and com- 
paratively weak . straw. 
The standard for irrigated 
sections of the state. 
BEECHER BARLEY is a new 
semi-smooth awned _ bar- 
ley adapted to dry land. 
It is stiff strawed. Has 
outyielded Club Mariout 
and Flynn and shows a 
higher bushel weight. 
CLUB MARIOUT BARLEY. 
A six-row, rough awned, 
hulled, early barley; par- 
ticularly adapted to east- 
earn Colorado non-irrigat- 
ed plains section. Will 
yield one-third more than 
Trebi in its region of adap- 
tation, and 70 per cent of 
Trebi under irrigation. Could be used to advan- 
tage on irrigated land with early water where 
only one irrigation is available. 
FLYNN. A six-row, smooth awned barley yielding 
about the same as Club Mariout. The smooth 
awned or thinner hull has increased its popu- 
larity in the plains area and in other non-irrigated 
sections of the state. 
SEED OATS 
BLISS SIDE OAT is a white side oat adapted to 
irrigated land. This variety is noted for its 
abundant yield of oat hay in the mountain areas. 
BRUNKER OATS are well adapted to dry land, be- 
ing early maturing, smut and drought resisting. 
They are a red oat and were developed by the 
Akron Experiment Station. 
BANNOCK OAT is a plump, smut-resistant, white, 
midseason variety that has produced higher 
yields than any other irrigated variety in Colo- 
rado. It is a little earlier than Colorado 37 and 
the straw is finer but stiff. A limited amount of 
registered seed is available this year. 
COLORADO NO. 37 OATS. This oat is well adapted 
for irrigated areas of Colorado. It is a midseason 
white oat. It is characterized by its high yield; 
its straw and awnless kernels. 
VICTORY OATS. Similar to No. 37.
