 WISCONSIN PEDIGREE OATS. 



A new variety developed at the Wis- 

 consin Experiment Station from a variety 

 called Wisconsin Wonder and offered 

 generally in 1913 for the first time. 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 of strains bred from the same 

 parent stock, and parceled out in small 

 lots among several of the members of the 

 Fxperiment Station for trial, this showed 

 the greatest promise. It is a tremendous

KKOENEBATED SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 



WISCONSIN PEDIGEEE OATS NO. 1. 



cropper, outyielding any sorts now grown here, and the grain is of good size, thin-hulled, 

 heavy and fine appearing, in shape a little longer and more pointed than Swedish Select. 

 Price per peck 35c; bushel $1.15; 5 bushels and over $1.10 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 35c; bushel $1.10; 5 to 10 bushels $1.05; 

 15 to 50 bushels 95c. 



REGENERATED SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 



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 Regenerated Oats in Wisconsin 

 is about 35 per cent, more than the maximum yield of ordinary Swedish Select Oats. Peck 

 40c; bushel (32 lbs.) $1.30; 5 bushels and over $1.25. 



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 $1.20; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.15 

 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 35c; bushel $1.20; 5 bushels and over at 

 $1.15 per bushel. 



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 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 Rve is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has failed. 

 Peck 60c; bushel $2.00. 



Wisconsin Pedigree Rye — A strain of winter Rye secured after a dozen years of the most 

 careful selective breeding at the Wisconsin Experimental Station. It was developed 

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

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

 uniformly ve'ry large and plump, heads of unusual length. A year or two ago 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 $1.75.
