BARLEY. : 
weak Since Barley has long been one of Wisconsin’s leading crops, this state producing far more of that highly im- 
i portant cereal than any other state in the Union, Prof. R. A. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, early 
realizing the need and advantage of improvement in Barley types, has for some years given particular attention 
to Barley breeding, starting with varieties of certain known good qualities, and by laborious selection and reselection devel- 
oping those qualities to their utmost-perfection, with the result that there have already been disseminated from the Experi- 
ment Station new Barleys of such marked superiority over the old sorts that the attention of the entire nation has been arrested. 
The two varieties or strains first named below are products of the same original stock separately developed. The stocks we 
offer are straight, clean and pure. . 
ODERBRUCKER BARLEY—WISCONSIN No, 55. 
The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station in 1906, at the Time the 
Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-Rowed Barley Ever Introduced Into the United States. 
Oderbrucker, originally secured from the Ontario Experiment Station, was one of the first of the new strains developed 
by Prot. Moore, and so pronounced are its superior qualities, that it is now the standard Barley in this and neighboring states. 
It has been conclusively shown that it vields from 5 to 10 bushels more per acre than any of the old varieties, is unusually 
good for malting purposes, and on account of its high protein content, nearly double that of other varieties, it is an exceed- 
ingly fine feeding Barley. It is rust resistant, has a plump, very heavy kernel, and the stiffness of its straw is unusual. The 
Seed we offer was grown from clean, pure, vigorous stock. Per peck 40c; bushel $1.40, 5 bushels and over at $1.35 per bushel. 
NEW WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY. 
This new Barley, disseminated first about four years ago, has, in abundantly conclusive trials at the Experiment Station 
Tarm, and at other specially selected points in different sections of the state, in fact, wherever grown, demonstrated its 
marked superiority over all the commonly sown varieties. It is fully equal to Oderbrucker, if not in some respects superior 
to that excellent sort. Like’Oderbrucker, it is derived from the Manshury, received originally in 1899 from the Ontario 
Station at Guelph, and it has gone through a breeding process (the centgener method) requiring ten years of careful selec- 
tion. It has the special merit of stiff straw, so that it does not lodge easily, produces a very high yield, malts perfectly and 
has the advantage of being absolutely pure. The fact that practically all the members of the Wisconsin Experiment Station 
Association now grow Pedigree Barley is a strong indication of the high value placed upon this new variety by the pro- 
gressive farmers of the state. The strains we offer, though disseminated under different numbers, are practically identical, 
and are considered at the Experiment Station to be the best of the several strains developed. 
Per peck 45c; bushel $1.50; 5 bushels and over at $1.45 per bushel. :

WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 
It Has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yields, 
Nothing to Equal it as a Hog Food. 
{tee This remarkable Barley is entirely distinct in grain from other sorts, being more 
kk 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 
wy per acre. Peck 50c; bushel of 48 lbs, $1.65; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.60. 
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 $1.65; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.60. 
BUCK WHEAT. 
Silver Hull—This variety sown at the same time as the common Buckwheat, matures 
a few days sooner, and yields nearly double. The flour is whiter and more nutritious. 
The grain is grayish or silvery in color, whence the name. It is a favorite milling 
variety and frequently outyields the heavy yielding Japanese. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50. 
Japanese—An early and very prolific variety, with kernels about double the size of 
SSS ordinary sorts. It ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, remains in bloom a 
Nar — ~ long time and yields at least twice as much as common Buckwheat. Peck 50c; bushel 
— $1.50.
