OATS. 



IMPROVED PRIZE CLUSTER. 



The Earliest of All Oats — We have for a num- 

 ber of years been working up a stock of Prize 

 Cluster Oats from the parent stock, of which 

 the director of the Iowa Experiment Station 

 spoke so highly. In his report he places Prize 

 Cluster at the head of the list of all varieties 

 tested, both for bulk of crop and weight per 

 bushel. It is a white variety, with very large 

 heads and heavy plump grain, straw of medium 

 growth, very strong. In our Improved Price 

 Cluster Oats we claim to have the best, heaviest 

 and thinnest shelled Oats in cultivation. 

 Peck 50c; bushel $1.50; 5 bushels for $7.00; 



10 bushels $13.50 



SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 



Several years ago Prof. M. A. Carleton of the 

 IT. S. Department of Agriculture, while on a tour 

 of investigation in Russia, noticed the superiority 

 of Oats of Swedish origin, and he secured a quantity of them 

 which he had shipped to Washington, D. C, and from there 

 distributed them throughout the United States under the 

 name of Swedish Select Oats. The Wisconsin Experimental 

 Station secured some of these Oats. They were grown four 

 years on the University grounds, and Prof." Moore pronounced 

 Swedish Select the most satisfactory of all the varieties test- 

 ed. They appear to be well adapted to high land, the best 

 returns being obtained on clay loam. 

 Peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels $6.00; 10 bushels $11.50 



BUCKWHEAT. 



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 nu- 

 tritious. Peck 40c; bushel $1.30; 5 bushels $6.25 



Japanese — An early and very prolific variety, with kernels 

 about double the size of ordinary sorts. It ripens a 

 week earlier than the Silver Hull and yields at least 



twice as much. Peck 40c; bushel $1.30; 5 bushels $6.25" 



Subject to market fluctuations. 



SPELTZ OR EMMER. 



Should Have a Place on All Farms. A Sure Cropper in Any 



Kind of Soil. Grand Drought Resister. 



"Withstands the extremes of heat and cold better than 

 any cereal we know of. It is readily eaten by all kinds 

 of stock and its feeding qualities are excellent, is enor- 

 mously productive, and can be treated in the same man- 

 ner as other grain. Sow broadcast, using 60 lbs. per 

 acre. Weight per bushel 40 lbs. Peck 40c; bushel 

 $1.25; 5 bushels $6.00 



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. 



New "Petkus" Winter Rye — A new Rye from Germany that will be of great value to the 

 farmers of Wisconsin. This new Rye came through the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture, Washington, to the Wisconsin Experiment Station, where it has been thoroughly 

 tested four years. We have the following report from the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 

 tion: "Your letter of the 14th of November in regard to 'Petkus' Rye to hand. Have ex- 

 amined the record of this grain and find that it has yielded an average of 40.3 bushels per 

 acre for four years. The Rye grows tall and has long and well-filled heads. The grain 

 itself has the largest kernel of any Rye we have ever grown. It is rather light in color 

 and should make a very good grade of flour. In fact, it is recommended by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture as one of the best bread ryes grown in this country." In Ger- 

 many this Rye is much esteemed for making bread, and this together with its great pro- 

 ductiveness and strong stiff straw makes it particularly desirable. Peck 50c; bushel $1.50 



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

 Peck 40c; bushel $1.35; 5 bushels $6.50 



Hungarian "Winter — A remarkably hardy and strong-growing Rye of superior milling quali- 

 ties. Peck 40c; bushel $1.35; 5 bushels $6.50
