BARLEY 



NEW WISCONSIN PEDIGREE BARLEY. 



This new Barley, dissminated first a few yars 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 is 

 a strong indication of the high value placed upon this variety by the progressive farmers 

 of the state. Per peck 55c; bushel $1.85; 5 bushels and over $1.75 per bushel. 



ODERBRUCKER BARLEY — WISCONSIN No. 65. 



The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the Wisconsin Agrlciiltaral Experiment 

 Station In IDOC, at the Time the Heaviest Yielding and Flampeat 0-Rowed Barley Ever 

 Introduced Into the United States. Oderbrucker, originally secured from the Ontario Ex- 

 periment 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 one of 

 the standard Barleys 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 ac- 

 count 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. Per peck 55c; bushel $1.85; 5 bushels and over $1.75 per bushel. 



WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



It has No Beards or Hulls. It Is Early and Gives Enormous Yields. Nothing' to Equal 

 It as a Hog Food. This remarkable Barley is more like a very plump, hard wheat, re- 

 markably 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. Per peck, 80c; bushel $2.85; 

 5 bushels and over $2.75 per bushel. 



CHAMPION OR SUCCESS BEARDLESS B^VBLEY. 



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. Per 

 peck 80c; bushel $2.85; 5 bushels and over $2.75 per bushel. 



OATS 



SUPEailOR RE-CLEANED 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. Sow at the 

 rate of 2% to 3% bushels per acre. Per peck 40c; bushel $1.30; 5 bushels and over $1.20 per 

 bushel. 



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



Introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture a few years ago and further de- 

 veloped under the direction of Prof. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. 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. Per 

 peck 40c; bushel $1.30; 5 bushels and over $1.20 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 

 makes it particularly valuable for feeding and for the manufacture of oatmeal. It does 

 not lodge easily, as the straw is strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remark- 

 ably, whence the heavy yields. Per peck 45c; bushel $1.35; 5 bushels and over $1.25 per 

 bushel.
