LIST OF CHOICE FARM SEEPS FOR 1912. 



45 





i:i:<;exerated Swedish select oats. 



SUPERIOR KE-CLEANE1) GRAINS. 



SEAMLESS BAGS, 21c EACH. 



OATS. 



KHERSON OATS. 



A heavy yielding, hardy extra early variety 

 originally imported to this country from Russia 

 and now well established here. It matures a 

 ■week to twelve days earlier than the ordinary 

 varieties, producing full heads of surprisingly 

 heavy grain. Its earliness and inherent hardi- 

 ness- make it less subject to rust than other 

 sorts. As a dry season variety 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. 



BIG FOUR OATS. 



An old favorite, medium early, grain white 

 and heavy with a thin skin and free from awns. 

 The straw is strong and stiff and stands up 

 well. 



Peck 35c; bushel $1.15; 5 to 10 bushels at $1.10 

 per bushel. 



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



Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture a few years ago and now the most popu- 

 lar Oats on the market. Its good points are earli- 

 ness. 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 se- 

 cured in this State. 



Peck 35c; bushel $1.15; 5 to 10 bushels $1.10; 15 to 50 bush- 

 els $1.00. 



REGENERATED SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 

 Canadian Grown. 



The stock we offer was imported originally from the Gar- 

 ton Seed Co., England, who are the originators, and has been 

 grown for the past three of four years in Canada where enor- 

 mous yields have been secured. The Oats this year actually 

 weighs 43 lbs. to the bushel. 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 65c; bushel (32 lbs.) $1.75; 5 bushels and over $1.65. 



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 50c; bushel $1.50 



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 50c; bushel $1.50 



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 read- 

 ily eaten by all kinds of stock and its feeding qualities are excellent, is enormously 

 productive, and can be treated in the same manner 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 prood grade of flour. In fact, it is recommended by the United States 

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

 many this Rve is much esteemed for making brend, and this toe-ether with its great pro- 

 ductiveness and strong stiff straw makes it particularly desirable. Peck 50c; bushel $1.60 



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



Peck 50c; bushel $1.60; 5 bushels S"-50
