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 first 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 pure. 



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 1S99 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 $2.00; 

 5 bushels and over at 1.90 per bushel. 



ODERBRUCKER BARLEY — WISCONSIN No. 55. 



The W^lsconsln Standard Barley Introdaced by the Wiscom.sin Agricultural Experiment Station in 190G, at the Time the 

 Heaviest Yielding and Plumpest 6-Ro\ved Barley Ever Introduced in to the United States. Oderbrucker, originally secured 

 from the Ontario Experiment Station, was one of the first of the new strains developed at the Wisconsin Experi- 

 ment Station, and so pronounced are its superior qualities, that it is now the standard Barlev 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 hea'S'y kernel, and the stiffness of its straw is unusual. Per peck 60c; bushel $2.00; 5 bushels 

 and over at $1.90 per bushel. 



WHITE HUXLESS BARLEY. 



It Has No Beards or Hulls. It is Early and Gives Enormous Yeilds. 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. Peck 65c; bushel of 48 lbs $2 40' " 

 to 10 bushels at $2.35. ' ' 



CHAMPION BEARDLESS BARLEY. 



A remarkably 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. Peck 7oc; bushel $2.50; 5 to 10 bushels at $2.30. 



RYE 



Rye is a crop that should be more extensively grown by all our farmers. It is a paving crop, even on poor sandy soils 

 It is also a very valuable crop ■with which to seed dow^n grasses. 



Spring — This Rye is invaluable as a catch crop for sowing where winter wheat has failed. Peck 75c: bushel $2 75 

 Wisconsin Pedigree Rye — A strain of winter Rye secured after a doz'en vears of the most careful selective breeding at 

 the Wisconsin Experiment Station. The straw is very long, strong and stiff, not lodging readilv even on rich soils the 

 kernel is uniformly very large and plump, heads of unusual length. A year or two ago the average vield reported bv the 

 members of the Experiment Station was 8.7 bushels per acrs more than the average vield of common Winter Rye. Yields 

 of 40 to 50 bushels per acre are very common. We advise purchasing now in order to have vour seed on hand in early fall 

 Thrashing is very late in certain seasons, which delays us ia getting shipments out in tirne for fall planting. Peck 90c- 

 bushel $3.00.

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 Sivedish 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, hea^^^ and fine appearing, in shape a little longer and more 

 pointed than Swedish Select. Price per peck 45c; bushel $1.50; 5 bushels and over $1.45 per bushel. 



SWEDISH SELECT OATS. (W^is. No. 4.) LINCOLN OATS. 



Introduced bv the U. S. Department of Agriculture a few . , ,, , ... , .,. . ^ 



years ago and further developed under the direction of Prof. ^^ early, unusually heavy yielding, clear white Oats, 



Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. Its good points comparing well with the best sorts grown in the northwest 



are earliness yield, fine appearance of grain, stiffness of straw and lately become very popular. Its thin hull and solid meat 



and freedom from rust and smut. It appears to be best adapted makes it particularly valuable for feeding and for the manu- 



to high land, the best returns being obtained on clav loam. facture of oatmeal. It does not lodge easily, as its straw is 



Yields as high as 85 bushels per acre have been secured in strong and stiff; it is rust resistant and stools out remarkably, 



this state. Peck 45c; bushel $1.50; 5 to 10 bushels $1.40 per whence the heavy yields. Price per peck 45c: bushel $1.60;

 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, 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 oats, wheat, etc..
