OLDS’ WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 
STURGEON WHEAT 
A new wheat tor Wisconsin which we 
offered for the first time last year. Will 
outyield and produce a heavier percentage 
of flour yield than either Marquis or Prog¬ 
ress. Prom the bread-making standpoint 
Sturgeon is equal to any wheat offered 
today. Sturgeon wheat originated by a cross 
made between Progress and Marquis, and 
was developed at the Peninsula Branch 
Experiment Station at Sturgeon Bay under 
the direction of Professor Delwiehe. Prog¬ 
ress was used because of its resistance to 
Stem rust and Marquis for its bread-making 
value. Several hundred crosses were made 
at Ashland and Sturgeon Bay Stations and 
thousands were selected and tested for 
their yields and finally tested for bread¬ 
making. With the exception of the new 
Sturgeon, all crosses were discarded be¬ 
cause they did not fill the bill. According 
to results of five years trials, Sturgeon is 
fully as good producing as Progress. Mill¬ 
ing and baking tests for four consecutive 
years proved it to be a consistent, good 
bread-making wheat, equal to Marquis in 
that important character. The outstanding 
qualities of Sturgeon wheat are heavier yield, earlier maturity, and 
better baking. It is also resistant to stem rust the same as its parent, 
Progress. Order seed early. Seed stock limited. Prices: Registered— 
Pk., 70c; bu., $2.40; 10 bus. at $2.37; 25 bus. at $2.35. 
Standard: Bu., $2.30; 10 bus. at $1.73; 25 bus. at $2.25. 
Sturgeon Wheat. 
PROGRESS WHEAT 
(Wisconsin Pedigree No. 1611.) 
Progress is one of the best varieties of 
spring wheat for Wisconsin. The outstand¬ 
ing feature about it is that it does not 
rust. It is a bearded, hard red spring 
wheat, and is one of the highest yielders. 
It was developed at the Marshfield Branch 
Experiment Station in 1915, a selection 
from Early Java. The specific object in 
view was to get a wheat that would have 
a strong resistance to rust and this strain 
is outstanding in that respect. Its reputa¬ 
tion is now fully established. 
Certified: Pk., 65c; bu., $2.20; 10 bus. 
at $2.17; 25 bus. at $2.15. 
Standard: Bu., $2.15; 10 bus. at $2.13; 
25 bus. at $2.10. 
MARQUIS WHEAT 
Marquis is a hard, red spring wheat, 
grading No. 1 Northern, which brings the 
top price. The grains are short and thick 
and very plump, making it very attrac¬ 
tive in appearance. It is a strictly beard¬ 
less wheat with long heads and it has a very stiff, strong straw of good 
length. It ripens early, a little ahead of other spring varieties 
Prices: Fancy Northwest Grown—By freight, Vapk., 40c, pk., 65c, 
bu. $2.25; 10 bus. at $2.23; 25 bus. or over at $2.20.

culture.

OLDS’ SPRING RYE 
(Sow 70 to 98 pounds to the acre.) 
Spring Rye is a valuable crop. It should be more largely sown. Here are some of 
its good qualities: 
First. It can be sown late in the spring, later than other spring grain. 
Second. It is a splendid nurse crop for clover, as the crop is harvested early. 
Third. It does well on nearly all soils and can be grown on very poor land. 
Fourth. It is a sure cropper, producing ordinarily 30 to 40 bushels per acre. 
Prices: By freight, Vi pk., 35c; pk., 60c; bu. (56 lbs.), $1.85; 10 bus. at $1.83; 
25 bus. at $1.80. 
OLDS’ WHITE WINTER RYE 
Field Peas at the Ashland Branch Station. (Courtesy of 
Prof. Delwiehe.) 
OLDS’ WHITE CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Field Peas should be sown more largely. They make 
splendid hay. White Canada is the best known and most 
popular variety of field peas. Sow 1 to 1% bus. per acre 
broadcast with the same amount of oats. Another good 
mixture recommended by leading county agents is % bu. 
each of Field Peas, State’s Pride Oats, Barbless Barley 
and Progress Wheat. , „ - ;

$3.50; 100 lbs., $5.50; 500 lbs. at $5.35. Sacks included. 
WHITE MARROWFAT. See No. 340, page 27. 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 6 is a new strain of Winter Rye recently released by the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station. We offered it for the first time four years ago. Its 
strong feature is its very light color, almost pure white. The Pedigreed White Rye 
was the result of an effort to get a nicer appearing rye than we had in the old 
Pedigree Schlanstedt and meet the expectations of millers and bakers who prefer 
lighter colored ryes. 
This new rye is just as good a yielder if not better than the old Wisconsin Pedigree 
and it has a big advantage in quality. It is also shorter in straw. We recommend 
it as the best in rye.

consin. Wilt-resistant and rust-resistant va¬ 
rieties are essential for successful flax pro¬ 
duction.

SPELTZ OR EMMER 
(Sow 100 to 125 pounds of seed to an acre.) 
Farmers ought to sow more Speltz. It 
makes splendid feed and lots of it. Note the 
following points: 
First. It is perfectly hardy and can be 
grown anywhere. 
Second. It yields more per acre than 
either oats or barley. 
Third. It is adapted to dry regions. 
Withstands drouth. 
Fourth. It stands up when oats and bar¬ 
ley lodge. 
Fifth. It makes a well balanced ground 
feed for horses, cattle or hogs, as the large 
hull gives it the lightness of oats, while the 
double kernel furnishes a rich meal much 
like ground rye feed. 
Sow the same as barley or oats, about 100 
pounds or 2 % bushels per acre. It ripens 
about with oats.

Second. "With’ spring grain or just as it begins to 
come up, 2 pounds per acre to provide pasture after 
harvest. 
Third. With corn just before the last cultivation. 
A word about the seed. We handle only the best and 
purest Genuine Dwarf Essex; seed that is entirely free 
from bird rape, mustard and everything of that sort.
