 AVISCONSIN PEDIGREE OATS. 



A new variety developed at the Wisconsin Experiment Station from a variety called Wisconsin Wonder and offered gener- 

 ally 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 tlie 

 grain is of good size, thin-hulled, heavy and fine appearing, in shape a little longer and more pointed than Swedish Select. Price per peek 

 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels and over $1.20 per bushel. 



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



Introduced by the V. S. Department of Agriculture a few years 

 ago and further developed under the direction of Prof. Moore of 

 the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its good points are earliness, 

 yield, fine appearance of grain, stifl'ness 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 liave been secured in this state. Peck 35c; 

 bushel $1.20; 5 to 10 bushels $1.15 per bushel; 15 to 50 

 bushels $1.05. 



LINCOLN OATS. 



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

 ing 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 oat- 

 meal. It does not lodge easily, as its straw is strong and stiff; 

 it is rust resistant and stools out remarkably, whence the heavy 

 yields. Price per peck 40c; bushel $1.25; 5 bushels and over at 

 $1.20 per bushel.

WHEAT 



MINNESOTA NO. 169 SPRING WHEAT. 



The onlj' Wheat awarded a "Grand Prize" (the highest possible award) at the World's Pair, St. Louis, 1904. Itl 1902 the result 

 of trials made by 89 fanners in Minnesota showed the average yield of Minnesota No. 169 AVlieat to be IS per cent, more than any other 

 variety of Wheat. Developed from Haynes' Blue Stem and first sent out by the Minnesota Experiment Station in 1902. In comparative 

 trials its average yield has been found to be 18 per cent, more than any other sort on the same soil. Its milling and baking qualities 

 have been thoroughly tested and found equal to the best of the older and well-known sorts generally grown in the large wheat produc- 

 ing sections. Peck 85c; bushel $3.10; 5 bushels or over at $3.00 per bushel. 



MARQUIS WHEAT. 



The Wheat destined to "revolutionize wheat growing in the 

 Northwest." Originated at the Central Experiment Station, Ottawa, 

 Canada, by crossing Red Fife and Red Calcutta, a very early Wheat 

 from India, the result being a Wheat combining the extreme earli- 

 ness of the one with the frost resisting and heavy yielding qualities 

 of the other. It is a week 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. Peck 

 85c; bushel $3.10; 5 bushels or over at $3.00 per bushel. 



DURUM OR MACARONI. 



The most valuable Wheat For Dry and Semi-Arid Sections, Tield- 

 ing Heavy Crops AVhere Other Sorts Fail. It is 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 Kansas, Dakota, Nebraska and the ex- 



treme Western States, in some instances reaching SO bushels per 

 acre. It is a Wheat of the highest class, ranking with Hard Spring 

 and Hard Winter Wheat in its milling and baking qualities. Peck 

 85c; bushel $3.10; 5 bushels or over at $3.00 per bushel. 



WINTER WHEAT — The leading varieties ready for delivery 

 after harvest in summer. Prices on application. 



SPELTZ OR EMMER. 



Sliould Have a Place on All Farms. A Sure Early Cropper in 

 Any Kind of .Soil and Under All Condtions of Weather and Climate. 

 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, horses, 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 out- 

 yields oats, wheat, etc., is not attacked by rust or smut, and is not 

 harmed by frost. Sow broadcast, using 60 to 80 lbs. per acre. 

 Weight per bushel 40 lbs. Peck 45c; bushel $1.45; 5 bushels $7.00.
