WHITE CROSS (Wis. Pedigree No. 19 ) 
FINEST APPEARING EARLY OAT. 
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 earliness 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. 
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.

STATE’S PRIDE (Wisconsin Pedigree No. 7) 
Most Popular Early Oat and Best Yielder of all 
Oats at Wisconsin Experiment Station Farm. 
It has proven to be the best grain for a nurse 
crop and because of its high yielding qualities and 
earliness it has become the most popular oat in 
Wisconsin. 
Description. State’s Pride is a small yellow oat, 
bright and shiny, with a very thin hull. In fact it 
is about all meat, very heavy and a great oat for 
feeding. The oats are small in size but how they do 
pour out of the spout at threshing time. State’s 
Pride is very early. Indeed the earliest of all 
varieties, some 25 or 30, grown at the Wisconsin 
Station. This enables it to escape rust. 
It has a short stiff straw and has stood up the 
best of all oats at the Wisconsin Station Farm. 
It has been grown for over 20 years at the Ex¬ 
periment Station and has given an average yield 
of 68.5 bushels per acre, a record which no other 
oat has equalled.

TREAT GRAIN SEED WITH CERESAN 
Prof. R. A. Moore Inspecting a 
Field of State’s Pride Oats. 
Prevent covered smut, stripe disease 
and scab seedling blight, the destruc¬ 
tive seed-carried grain diseases from 
decreasing the yields and reducing the 
value of your crop! Treat all seed 
grain with New Improved Ceresan, 
(ethyl mercury phosphate) the inex¬ 
pensive, effective grain disinfectant. 
Only % ounce (there is a measuring 
spoon in each can) is required per 
bushel of seed. Costs 1% to 2%c a

SWEDISH SELECT (Ped. 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 appearing. The ker¬ 
nels are large, thick, pure white and most 
attractive. 
Description. Wisconsin Pedigree No. 5 
grows medium to tall in height with 
large, thick, spreading heads. Heavy in 
weight, and a great yielder, always stand¬ 
ing 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. 
Prices—Standard Seed: Pk., 35c; bu., 
$1.10; 10 bus. at $1.07; 25 bus. at $1.05.

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 Experiment Station 
ln 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 Experiment Association 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 appear¬ 
ing, with rather long kernels.
