WISCONSIN 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, the 
grower, a member of the Association, 
speaking 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 PEDIGREE 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 graim is thin-hulled, heavy and 
fine appearing. Our stock is limited. Price per peck 35c; bushel $1.20; 5 bushels and over 
$1.15 per bushel. 
SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (Wis. No. 4.) 
Introduced by the U. 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 35c.-bushel (32 lbs.) $1.25; 5 bushels and over at $1.20. 
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 Rats lodge badly, it is unequalled. Peck 30c; bushel $1.00; 5 to 10 bushels at 90c 
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 tor 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 $1.00. 
SILVER 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 30c; bushel $1.00; 5 bushels and over 90e 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 50c; bushel $1.60. 
New “Petkus” Winter Rye—A new Rye from Germany which came through the United 
States Department of Agriculture, Washington, to the Wisconsin Ex»eriment Station, 
where it was thoroughly tested before being sent out. Average yield 40 bushels per 
acre; tall, stiff growth; long, well-filled heads; the largest kernel of any Rye. One of 
the best bread Ryes grown in this country. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50. 
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 
froin “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. Last year the average yield 
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 $1.60. :
