In 1892, at Agriculture Canada's Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, Dr. Charles Saunders made a selection of a cross of an early ripening Indian wheat, Hard Red Calcutta, with Red Fife. This selection was developed and licensed under the name Marquis. It was early maturing, produced high yields, and had the same excellent milling and baking qualities as Red Fife. Its quality became world renowned and was the single most important factor in establishing Canada's initial reputation as a producer of high quality wheat. Its performance was such that all inferior varieties were practically eliminated from production. 1, record 4, English, - early%20maturing%20wheat

En 1892, M. Charles Saunders, de la Station expérimentale d’Ottawa, obtenait un croisement entre un blé indien précoce dit Hard Red Calcutta et le roux "Fife". Cette souche a ensuite été développée puis homologuée sous le nom de "Marquis". C'était un blé précoce, très productif et qui avait conservé les précieuses qualités de mouture et de panification du roux «Fife». Il acquis bientôt une réputation mondiale par sa qualité; cette dernière a été le plus important des facteurs qui ont contribué à la renommée du Canada pour la qualité supérieure de ses blés. Les caractéristiques de ce blé étaient si remarquables qu'il devait presque entièrement supplanter les autres variétés moins méritantes. 1, record 4, French, - bl%C3%A9%20pr%C3%A9coce

Scientific wheat breeding in Canada had its origin in 1903 when Dr. Charles Saunders (son of William Saunders, the founder of Canadian Experimental Farms) selected one head of Marquis wheat from across of the European variety, Red Fife, and a much earlier maturing, unknown variety of hard red spring wheat from Calcutta, India. Since that time, more sophisticated breeding techniques have evolved but the original challenge of man against nature continues to be ever present. 1, record 8, English, - Marquis%20wheat

Au Canada, la sélection scientifique du blé remonte à 1903; cette année-là, Charles Saunders(fils de William Saunders, fondateur des fermes expérimentales canadiennes) sélectionnait le premier épi de blé marquis, à la suite du croisement d’une variété européenne, le Red Fife, avec une variété inconnue de blé de force roux de printemps, à maturation beaucoup plus hâtive, originaire de Calcutta. Depuis cette époque, les techniques de sélection se sont fort raffinées, mais le combat entre l'homme et la nature continue toujours. 1, record 8, French, - bl%C3%A9%20Marquis
