 mixed with one part of soil to ten parts of Artichokes, to 

 prevent shrinking. Per peck 70c; per bushel $2.40; 3 bushels 

 (sufficient for one acre), $6.25. 



BUCKWHEAT. 

 Silver Hull — This variety sown at tlie same time as the com- 

 mon Buckwheat, matures a few days sooner, and yields 

 nearly double. The flour is whiter and more nutritious. 

 It is a favorite milling variety and frequently outyields 

 the heavy yielding Japanese. 

 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, remains in bloom a long time 

 and yields at least twice as much as common Buckwheat. 



FLAX. 

 When grown for seed, sow from 2 to 3 pecks to the acre. 

 If fine fibre is wanted sow from IV2 to 2 bushels to the acre, 

 so as to grow clean, straight, slender straw. 

 Primost (Minn. No. 25) — An improved variety, considerably 

 earlier than Common Flax; yields about 25% larger crop 

 and is more wilt-resistant. 



SUNFLOWER. 

 Larcrc Russian — Single heads measure 15 inches across and 

 contain an immense amount of seeds which are highly 

 prized by poultry raisers. 



BARLEY 



NEW AVISCONSIN PEDIGREE B.VRLEY. 



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 1S99 from the Ontario Sta- 

 tion at Guelph, and went through a breeding process requir- 



ing 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. 

 ODERBRUCKER BARLEY — WISCO.NSI.V No. 55. 



The \\ isconsin Standard Barley Introduced by the Wiscon- 

 sin .AKricullural Experiment Station In IDOti, at the Time the 

 Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 0-Ro»ved Barley Ever Intro- 

 duced 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 Sta- 

 tion, 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 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. 



WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. 



It has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous 

 Yields. Nothing; to E<iual it as a Hot; Food. This remarkable 

 Barley is more like a very plump, hard wheat, remarkably 

 solid, weighing over 60 lbs. to the bushel. It is e.xtremely 

 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, pos- 

 sessing feeding qualities superior to other Barley. The straw 

 stools well and is heavily leaved and makes an excellent hay. 

 Sow 2 bushels per acre. -IS lbs. per bushel. 



CHA.MPIOX OR SUCCESS BE.A.RDLESS B.\RLEY. 



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. 



OATS 



SUPERIOR RE-CLE.\XED STOCK. 

 AVISCONSI.N PEDIGREED OATS. 



A new variety developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 

 tion 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 belter 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. 



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



Introduced by the U. S. Department of A.griculture a few 

 years ago and further developed under the direction of Prof. 

 Moore of the Wisconsin E.xperiment 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. 



LINCOLN 0.4TS. 



An early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, com- 

 paring 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 manu- 

 facture of oatmeal. It does not lodge easily, as the straw is 

 strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remarkably, 

 whence the heavy yields. 



WHEAT 



MARQUIS WHEAT. 



The Wheat destined to "revolutionize wheat growing in 

 the Northwest." Originated at the Central Experiment Sta- 

 tion, Ottawa, Canada, by crossing Red Fife and Red Calcutta, 

 a very e&rly Wheat from India, the result being a Wheat 

 combining the extreme earline.«s of the one with the frost 

 resisting and heavy yielding qualities of the other. It is a 

 wee"k to 10 days earlier than Red Fife or any other sort, and 

 yields 5 to 10 bushels more per acre, the grain being flinty, 

 short, wide plump and deep amber in color. The heads are 

 very heavy, and the stalk stout and shorter than Red Fife. 

 Beardless, except for a few short awns at the top. 



WISCONSIN WONDER. 



A new Spring Wheat produced In Wisconsin and said to be 

 the earliest wheat known in .4merica. It Is a short. stifC- 

 strawed, bearded variety, ready in 80 to 90 days, or earlier, 

 never lodges, stools out little and is unexcelled as a nurse 

 crop for clovers and alfalfa. Yields heavily a hard, red wheat 

 easily grading No. 1 Northern. Because of its extreme earli- 

 ness it is not sublect to rust or other diseases. 



DURUM OR M.VCARONI (Variety Kubankn). 



The Most Valuable WTieat for Dry and Seml-.\rid Sections, 

 Yielding; Heavy Crops Wliere Other Sorts Fail. 



Durum Wheat is particularly adapted to dry and seml-arld 

 districts, being extremely resistant of drought, the attack of 

 fungus pests, rust and smut, always furnishing an excellent 

 hard grain. 



Enormous yields of Durum Wheat are reported from Kan- 

 sas, Dakota, Nebraska and the extreme Western States, lo
