WISCONSIN WONDER (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 the most popular 
medium late oat in Wisconsin. 
History. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 
1 originated at the Wisconsin Ex¬ 
periment Station in 1901 from a 
variety 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. Ass’n. 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.

SWEDISH SELECT (PEDIGREE No. 5.) 
FINEST IN APPEARANCE OF ALL OUR VARIETIES. 
Of all the splendid Wisconsin varieties of oats, Wis¬ 
consin Pedigree No. 5 is the plumpest and finest appearing. 
The kernels are large, thick, pure white and most attractive. 
History. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 5 is a pure-line selec¬ 
tion 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 yields 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.
