ODERBRUCKER BARLEY-WISCONSIN NO. 



A new Barley introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in 190G. The Heaviest Yield- 

 ing and Plumpest 6-Bowed Barley ever introduced into the United States. 



Compared with Mandscheuri Barley — This new Barley is as much better than Mandscheuri as Mandscheuri is ahead of 

 all other 6-rowed sorts, and will certainly be of great value to the farmers of Wisconsin. It is estimated by reports re- 

 ceived from many members of the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Association who have tested Oderbrucker Barley that 

 it yields from five to ten bushels more per acre than any other Barley. 



Value as a Malting Barley — A Chicago Institute of Ferm entology has for two years made tests of this Barley and 

 pronounces it unusually good for malting purposes. 



As a Feeding Barley — In addition to being a better yielder than other sorts Oderbrucker has been found to possess a 

 high protein content, making it an exceptionally fine feeding Barley. 



The Seed we offer of this New Barley was grown from stock obtained direct from the Wisconsin Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station. 



Per pock 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels $6.00; 10 bushels $11.50. 



MANDSCHEURI BARLEY. 



An early 6-rowod variety, maturing in 80 to 90 days from time of sowing, very strong- 

 strawed and stools well, bearing large, well- filled heads of beautiful, plump-berried grain, 

 possessing malting qualities of a high order, and adapting itself readily to a wonderful variety 

 of soils. 



We offer specially grown Seed from the gen uine imported stock, thoroughly re-cleaned. 



Per peck 40c; per bushel $1.20; 5 bushel lots $5.75; 10 bushels $11.00. 



WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



It Has no Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yields. Nothing to Equal it as a Hog 



Food. 



This remarkable Barley is entirely distinct in grain from other sorts, being more like a very 

 plump, hard wheat, remarkably solid, weighing over 60 lbs. to the bushel. It is extremely early and 

 on this account is invaluable in the northern tier of states, where corn does not ripen well. It is 

 an enormous cropper, yielding from 50 to 60 bushels per acre of grain, possessing feeding qualities 

 superior to other Barley. The straw stools well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent hay. 

 Sow 2 bushels per acre. Peck 50c; bushel of 4S lbs. $1.50; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.40. 



CHAMPION BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



A remarkably heavy cropping Barley. Equal in feeding quality to any of the bearded sorts. It is 

 earlier than the bearded sorts, better for feeding and easier to handle. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; 5 

 to 10 bushels at $1.40. 



SUNFLOWER. 



I.,arge Russian — Single heads measure 15 inches across and contain an immense amount of seeds which 

 are highly prized by poultry raisers. Oz. 5c; 1 lb. 10c (by mail 20c per lb.); 4 lbs. for 25c; 100 lbs. 



$6.00. 



WILD RICE. 



BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



Ziznnia Aquntica — The Seed should be sown during September and October, or in the early spring. Sow 

 broadcast in water from 6 inches to 6 feet deep, with a mud bottom. Previous to sowing, sink the 

 Seed in bags in water over night to soak it thoroughly, so it will sink tothe bottom at once, thereby 

 preventing loss from drifting into deep water, or washing ashore. Per lb. 20c (by mail 30c per lb.); 

 10 lbs. $1.75; 100 lbs. $15.00.
