WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 1. 
PROBABLY THE BEST ALL-AROUND MEDIUM OAT. 
A wonderfully valuable oat first introduced by us 15 or more years ago. Out on the University Farm 
they called it the “best oat in the world,” and Bulletin No. 340, issued in March, 1922, says: “The most 
popular oat in Wisconsin is the Wisconsin Wonder or Pedigree No. 1.” 
History. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1 originated at the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1901 from a va¬ 
riety called Wisconsin Wonder or Improved Bonanza. About 100 other new varieties of oats were started 
at the same time. After 14 years of careful breeding work, five pedigree varieties, which went by numbers, were 
given members of the "Wisconsin Ex. Assoc, for trial. Pedigree No. 1 proved the best. It is medium in season. 
Description. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1 is a pure white oat, good sized, nice appearing, with rather long kernels.

WISCONSIN PEDIGREE No. 5 
FINEST IN APPEARANCE OF ALL OUR VARIETIES. 
Of all the splendid Wisconsin varieties of oats, "Wisconsin Pedigree No. 5 is the plumpest and finest ap¬ 
pearing. The kernels are large, thick, pure white and most attractive. 
_ History. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 5 is a pure-line selection from the Swedish Select, which was obtained 
from the U. S. Department of Agriculture in 1898. It was sent out by the Wis. Ex. Station about 1913. 
Description. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 5 grows medium to tall in height with large, thick, spreading heads. Heavy 
in weight, and a great yielder,. always standing well up toward the top in yield per acre. 
Perhaps the only fault this variety has is a tendency to lodge on rich soils. It is all right for clay soils and 
ordinary light soils but we do not recommend it for rich, black soils. In season about medium. 
Prices, Standard Seed: Pk., 25c; bu., 75c; 2 y 2 bus. at 70c; 10 bus. at 67c; 25 bus. at 65c. Bags extra at 30c.

Ceresan increased this oats yield 19.1 bush¬ 
els per acre and gave perfect smut control. 
New Improved Ceresan is unusually effective in 
controlling oat and barley smut and barley stripe. 
Frequently improves the stand and yield of grain 
one to five bushels per acre and more. Easily and 
quickly applied by 3 turnings with a shovel. 
Seed should be treated 24 hours before sowing. 
Does not reduce drilling rate nor damage drill. 
One pound treats 32 bushels. 
At the Illinois Experiment Station Ceresan not 
only gave “perfect smut control’’ but also checked 
other diseases. In one experiment at Illinois, 
Ceresan increased the yield 14.2 bushels per acre. 
In another experiment with Big Four Oats there 
was an increase of 19.1 bushels per acre. 
We recommend very strongly that all our cus¬ 
tomers treat their grain with New Improved 
Ceresan.
