Henry Spring Wheat 
SPRING WHEAT 
Sow 114 bu. per acre; 60 pounds in one bushel. 
important advantages of this spring 
wheat are disease resistance and high yield! It is resistant to leaf 
rust and moderately resistant to stem rust and stinking smut. In 
tests at the Wisconsin Experiment Station and with certified 
growers, it has considerably outyielded the older varieties, which 
it is rapidly replacing. ‘ 
Henry Wheat matures about two days later than Sturgeon and 
about five days later than Vicland Oats. It has large, wide heads, 
with bearded chaff which is white or may be tinged with red at 
maturity. The kernels are larger than most spring wheats, and 
have fair to good milling and baking qualities.
