WHITE CROSS (Wis. Pedigree No. 19) 
“Finest Appearing Early Oat.” Prof. B. D. Leith. 
White Cross is a Pedigree variety developed at the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station. 
In this variety the attempt has been made to produce a white 
oat of larger size than State’s Pride but still maintaining the earli¬ 
ness and high yield. The result has been wonderfully satisfactory. 
These are the outstanding features of White Cross: 
First, it is extra early, almost as early as the famous State’s Pride. 
Second, it is white instead of yellow, with a good sized grain, making 
it as Prof. Leith says, “the finest appearing early oat.’’ 
Third, it is a heavy yielder, second only to State’s Pride at the Wisconsin 
Experiment Farm and some years outyielding that variety. 
Fourth, it grows a taller straw than State’s Pride and can always be 
easily harvested by the binder even on thin poor land. 
Fifth, it is the best early oat for light soils, outyielding all other earlies.

FORWARD (Wis. Pedigree No. 1241) 
SUCCESSOR TO SILVER MINE. 
Forward is a new pedigreed variety of oats specially valuable for 
.the north. It is a handsome, white, medium early, heavy yielding, 
plump variety that is giving splendid Satisfaction in every way. 
History. Forward is a selection from Silver Mine made in 1911, 
not at the M'adison Station but at the Demonstration Station at 
Superior, being further improved at the Ashland Station. 
Wisconsin Bulletin 340 describes it as follows: 
“It has a white, fairly plump kernel of medium length. The variety 
stands out conspicuously as the best yielding oats for the northern, or Lake 
Superior region. It outyielded its nearest competitor by nearly 5 bushels 
per acre, and Pedigree 5 by 9.6 bushels. Forward is recommended as the 
best oat for the northern section of the state.’’ 
We are glad to have this oat to offer our customers as an improved strain 
of Silver Mine, which has long been a popular oat with the farmers of 
the Northwest. Pure white, plump, smooth, heavy, medium early.
