AVISCONSIN PEDIGREE OATS. 



A new variety developed at the Wis- 

 consin Experiment Station and offered 

 generally in 1913 for the first time. Our 

 seed .was grown from stock received 

 direct from the Experiment Station, tin; 

 grower, a member of the Association, 

 sp'-aking very highly in praise of the 

 new variety's superior characteristics. 

 It is a pure white variety, rather earlier 

 than Swedish Select, and better adapted 

 to rich soils, its especially stiff straw 

 making it much less liable to lodge. Of 

 a number — exceeding a dozen — strains

WISCONSIN PEDIGKEE OATS NO. 1. 



bred from the same parent stock, this shows the greatest promise. It is a tremendous 

 cropper, outyielding any sorts now grown here, and the grain is thin-hulled, heavy and 

 fine appearing. Price per peck 35c; bushel $1.15; 5 bushels and over $1.10 per bushel. 



SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (Wis. No. 4.) 



Introduced by the TJ. S. Department of Agriculture a few years ago and further devel- 

 oped under the direction of Prof. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, is now the 

 most popular Oats on the market. Its good points are earliness, yield, fine appearance of 

 grain, stiffness of straw and freedom from rust and smut. It appears to be best adapted 

 to high land, the best returns being obtained on clay loam. Yields as high as 85 bushels 

 per acre have been secured in this state. Peck 30c; bushel $1.00; 5 to 10 bushels 90c; 

 15 to 50 bushels 80c. 



REGENERATED SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 

 Canadian Grown. 



The stock we offer was imported originally from the Garton Seed Co., England, who 

 are the originators, and has been grown for the past few years in Canada, where enormous 

 yields of very heavy Oats have been secured. The yield of Canadian grown Regenerated 

 Oats in Wisconsin is about 35 per cent, more than the maximum yield of ordinary Swedish 

 Select Oats. Peck 40c; bushel (32 lbs.) $1.40; 5 bushels and over at $1.35. 



KHERSON, OR SIXTY-DAY OATS. 



A heavy yielding, hardy extra early variety originally imported to this country from 

 Russia. It matures a week to twelve days earlier than the ordinary varieties, producing 

 full heads of surprisingly heavy grain. It is rust resistant and for rich prairie soils, where 

 most Oats lodge badly, it is unequalled. Peck 35c; bushel $1.15; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.10 

 per bushel. 



LINCOLN OATS. 



An early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, comparing well with the best sorts 

 grown in the northwest and lately become very popular. Its thin hull and solid meat 

 make it particularly valuable for feeding and for the manufacture of oatmeal. It does 

 not lodge easily, as its straw is strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remark- 

 ably, whence the heavy yields. Price per peck 30c; bushel $1.10. 



SILA r ER MINE OATS. 



For years a standard sort. Hardy, a heavy dependable yielder under unfavorable 

 conditions, heads large and compact, grain plump and of the clearest white. Strong 

 strawed and fine for rich soils. Peck 35c: bushel $1.15; 5 bushels and over $1.10 per bushel. 



RYE. 



Rye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. It is a paying 



crop, even on poor, sandy soils. It is also a very valuable crop with which to seed down 



grasses. 



Spring This Rye is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has failed. 



Peck 60c; bushel $2.00. 



"Petkus" "Winter Rye — A variety from Germany which came through the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, Washington, to the Wisconsin Experiment Station, where it 

 was thoroughly tested before being- sent out. Average yield 40 bushels per acre- tall, stiff 

 sr o" w th; long, 'well-filled heads; the largest kernel of any Rye. One of the best bread 

 Ryes grown in this country. Peck 50c; bushel $1.75. 



Wisconsin Pedigree Rye No. 1 — A strain of winter Rye secured after a dozen years of the 

 most careful selective breeding at the Wisconsin Experiment Station. It was developed 

 from "Petkus," but the new grain outyields even that fine, heavy yielding sort. The 

 straw is very long, strong and stiff, not lodging readily even on rich soils, the kernel is 

 uniformly very large and plump, heads of unusual length. A year or two ago the average 

 vield reported by the members of the Experiment Station was 8.7 bushels per acre more 

 than the average yield of common Winter Rye. Yields of 40 to 50 bushels per acre are 

 very common. Peck 50c; bushel $1.75.
