BARLEY 



It is generally acknowledged that the State of Wiscon- 

 sin produces the best Barley in the United States, and that 

 in a measure may be accounted for by there being so many 

 large breweries in the state, looking for the best product at 

 all times. The Wisconsin Experiment Station, has, therefore, 

 given particular attention and has done much in the way of 

 improving a crop so important. 



WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY (WIS. No. 5). 



A new six-rowed Barley bred at the Wisconsin Experi- 

 ment Station, possessing more good qualities than any other. 

 Growers of it during the past season speak in the most en- 

 thusiastic terms of its superiority over all other sorts in 

 yield, plumpness and uniformity of grain, length of head, 

 stiffness and length of straw, vigor of growth and bright- 

 ness of color. 



This Barley was awarded First Prize at the Brewers' 

 Exposition held in Chicago, October, 1911, for its superior 

 malting qualities. 



It will pay every grower of Barley well to discard his 

 old stock and sow his entire acreage with this new variety. 



Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.25; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.20. 



OBERBRUCKER BARLEY (WIS. No. 55). 



It is a remarkably heavy yielder, with straight, stiff 

 straw and bright, plump grain. After several years of 

 careful investigation it has been estimated by members of 

 the Wisconsin Agricultural Association, who have grown 

 this variety, that it yields from five to ten bushels more per 

 acre than the old six-rowed sorts now in general use. 



Oderbrucker Barley has a protein contents of nearly dou- 

 ble that of the older varieties, rendering it especially valu- 

 able for feeding, and as a malting Barley it easily leads 

 other sorts. 



In general appearance Oderbrucker Barley is much the 

 same as the old Manshury, maturing about the same time; 

 the main difference being in the greater yield, plumpness of 

 the kernels and stronger straw. It possesses the further 

 merit of being more resistant of rust. 



Peck, 40c; bushel, $1.25; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.20. 



CHAMPION BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



For feeding it has advantage of being easier to handle 

 and safer for stock than the bearded sorts. In produc- 

 tiveness and feeding qualities it is quite equal to the 

 bearded kinds, and while it is not generally considered as 

 good for malting purposes, it is used by maltsters readily 

 and preferred by some. It, however, is most esteemed as a 

 stock feeding variety. 



Peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.40. 



WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



FREE FROM HULLS AND BEARDS. 



An extra early and very heavy yielding variety, and entirely distinct from others, 

 being more like wheat, the grain being as heavy as wheat, with thin hulls, which are 

 readily separated when threshing. Its extreme earliness makes it valuable for the 

 northern states. As a cropper it is not unusual for it to produce over 60 bushels to the 

 acre. It has no beards or hulls, making it exceedingly valuable for feeding all kinds 

 of stock. For fattening hogs it has no superior, and for horses, compared with Oats 

 only half the quantity is required. Our seed of it is Montana grown. Sow 1% bushels 

 to the acre. 



Peck, 50c; bushel (48 lbs.), $1.50; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.40.
