BARLEY 
NEW 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 is 
a strong indication of the high value placed upon this variety by the progressive farmers 
of the state. Per peck 60c; bushel $2.25; 5 bushels and over $2.10 per bushel. 
ODERBRUCKER BARLEY—WISCONSIN No. 55. 
The Wisconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment 
Station in 1906, at the Time the Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-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 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. Per peck 60c; bushel $2.25; 5 bushels and over $2.10 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 85c; bushel $3.25; 
5 bushels and over $3.10 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. Per 
peck 80c; bushel $3.00; 5 bushels and over $2.85 per bushel. 
OATS 
SUPERIOR 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 
qopesting: in shape a little longer and more pointed than Swedish Select. Sown at the 
rate of 2% to 3% bushels per acre. Per peck 40c; bushel $1.45; 5 bushels and over 
$1.35 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 $1.45; 5 bushels and over $1.35 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 aodee easily, as its straw is strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remark- 
BDLY; nah ence the heavy yields. Per peck 40c; bushel $1.45; 5 bushels and over $1.35 per 
pushel,
