BARLEY 



Barley has long been one of Wisconsin's leading crops, this state producing far more of that highly Important cereal 

 than any other state In the Union. The two varieties or strains fir.st named below are products of the same original stock 

 developed separately during a series of years at the Wisconsin Experiment Station and disseminated through the Experi- 

 ment Association. The stocks we offer are straight, clean and and pure. Sown at the rate of 1?4 to 2V4 bu. per acre. 



JiEW WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY 



This new Barley, disseminated first a few years ago, has demonstrated Its marked superiority over all the commonly sown 

 varieties. Like Oderbrucker, it is derived from the Manshury, received originally In 1899 from the Ontario Station at Guelph, 

 and went through a breeding process requiring ten years of careful selection. 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 ft a strong 

 Indication of the high value placed upon this variety by the progressive farmers of the state. 



ODERBRUCKER BARLEY — WISCONSIN No. 55. 



The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the W^laoonsln Agricultural Experiment Station In 1900, at the Time the 

 Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-Roived 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 at the Wisconsin Experiment Station, 

 and so pronounced are its superior qualities, that It Is now the standard Barley in this and neighboring states. It yields 

 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 exceedingly fine feeding Barley. It is rust resistant, 

 has a plump, very heavy kernel, and the stiffness of Its straw is unusuaL 



W'HITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



It Has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yields. Nothing to Equal It as a Hog Food. This remark- 

 able Barley is more 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 per acre. 48 lbs. per busheL 



CHAMPION BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



A remarkable 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. 



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. Sown at the rate of 1% bu. per acre for grain. For 

 Fodder or Pasture, 2 to 2% bu. 



Sprlne — This Rye Is InrsJuable xm a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has failed. 



Wlsc!onsln Pedigree Rye — A strain of winter Rye secured after a dozen years of the most careful selective breeding at the 

 Wisconsin Experiment Station. The straw is very long, stromg and stiff, not lodging readily even on ricli soils, the kernel 

 Is uniformly very large and plump, heads of unusual length. A year or two ago the average yield reported by the mem- 

 bers 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. We advise purchasing now in order to have your seed on hand in early falL 

 Thrashing is very late in certain seasons, which delays us in getting shipments out in time for fall planting. 



OATS 



SUPERIOR RE-CLBANSD STOCK. 

 ■WISCONSIN PEDIGREE OATS. 



A new variety developed at the Wisconsin 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. It is a tremendous 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. Sown at the rate of 2% to 3% bushels per acre. 



SWrajISH SELECT OATS. (Wis. No. 4.) LINCOLN OATS. 



Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture a few An early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, 



years ago and further developed under the direction of Prof. comparing well with the best sorts grown In the northwest 



Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its good points and lately become very popular. Its thin hull and solid meat 



are earliness, yield, fine appearance of grain, stiffness of straw makes it particularly valuable for feeding and for the manu- 



and freedom from rust and smut. It appears to be best adapted facture of oatmeal. It does not lodge easily, as Its straw Is 



to high land, the best returns being obtained on clay loam. strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remarkably, 



Yields as high as 85 bushels per acre have been secured In whence the heavy yields, 

 this state. 



SPELTZ OR EMMER 



Should Have a Place on All Farms. A Sure Early Cropper In Any Kind of SoU and Under All Conditions of Weather 

 and Cltmate. 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, including chickens, geese, cattle, swine, and sheep, and Its feeding qualities are 

 excellent: Is enormously productive and can be treated in the same manner as other grain. It outyields .^ts, wheat, etc.. 

 Is not attacked by ruat or smut, ajid is not harmed by frost. Sow broadcast, using 60 to 80 lbs. per acre. Weight per bushel 

 40 Iba.
