sturgeon Wheat. 
OLDS’ BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June 10 to July 10, one bushel 
per acre. 
Buckwheat yields heaviest on well drained sandy loam 
soils, but will also give fair results on soils too poor 
for most other crops. It matures in about seventy days 
and ripens best in the cool weather of early fall. There¬ 
fore, June and July plantings in the North are most 
satisfactory. The Japanese type of buckwheat is more 
vigorous, withstands more drought, and produces better 
yields than the Silver Hull. 
JAPANESE. Large, of dark brown color. Higher in 
market than Silver Hull. 
Prices, by freight: Pk., 40c; bu. (50 lbs.), $1.25; 10 
bus. at $1.22; 25 bus. at $1.20. 
SILVER HULL. Silver Hull has a rather small grain, 
light gray in color, nearly round in shape. Earlier than 
Japanese according to the Wisconsin College of Agricul¬ 
ture. 
Prices: Pk. 40c; bu., $1.25; 10 bus, at $1.22; 25 
bus. at $1.20. 
OLDS’ SPRING WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 
STURGEON WHEAT 
Wisconsin Pedigree No. 27-4. 
A new wheat for Wisconsin which will 
outyield and ])roduce a heavier x'ercentage 
of flour yield than either Marquis or Prog¬ 
ress. From the bread-making standpoint 
Sturgeon is equal to any wheat offered 
today. Sturgeon wheat originated by a 
cross made between Progress and Marquis 
at the Peninsula Branch Exjjeriment Sta¬ 
tion at Sturgeon Bay. Progress 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 breadmaking. With the 
exception of the new Sturgeon, all crosses 
were discarded. According to results of 
five years’ trials. Sturgeon is fully as good 
producing as Progress. Milling 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.

is not a milling wheat. It is a heavy yield¬ 
ing rustproof Durum Wheat and is excellent 
for poultry. Prices, Fancy Northwestern

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.

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: V2 pk., 35c; pk., 50c; bu., $1.45; 
10 bus. at $1.40; 25 bus. or over at $1.35. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE NO. 2 
WINTER 
Hardiest and best winter wheat. Write 
for prices in August. 
OLDS’ FLAX SEED 
(Sow 50 to 75 pounds to the acre) 
Flax is a cool weather crop grown in the northern states. It is used 
mostly for its fibre and also for its seed which is ground and included 
in feed. When grown for fibre, moist or under-drained and fairly rich 
loam is required. When produced for seed less fertile soil and moisture 
are required. 
Prices, Fancy Northern: 1/2 pk., 70c; pk., $1.25; bu, (56 lbs.), $3.75; 
10 bus. at $3.70; 25 bus. at $3.65. 
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 har¬ 
vested 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: V2 pk., 30c; pk., 50c; bu. (56 lbs.), $1.45; 10 
bus. at $1.42; 25 bus. at $1.40. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Dwarf Essex Rape makes a quick pasture and is very valuable feed. 
It is ideal for sheep pasture, and is also now largely sown for hogs 
and cattle.. It may be sown in the following ways: 
First. In early spring, 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Second. With spring grain or just as it begins to come up, 2 pounds 
per acre to X'rovide 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.

SPELTZ OR EMMER 
OLDS’ WHITE WINTER RYE 
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 six 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 Wis¬ 
consin Pedigree and it has a big advantage in quality. It is also shorter 
in straw. We recommend it as the best in rye. 
Prices—Write for prices in season. 
COMMON WINTER RYE. Write for prices in August. 
(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 barley lodge. 
Fifth. It makes a well balanced ground feed for horses, cattle or 
hogs, as the large hull gives it the light-ness 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 
ner acre. It ripens about with oats. 
Prices, by freight: Pk., 30c; bu. (40 lbs.), $1.00; 10 bus. at 98c; 
25 bus. at 95c.

largely. They make splendid hay. 
White Canada is the best known 
and most popular variety of field 
l)eas. Sow 1 to 1% bushels per 
acre broadcast with the same 
amount of oats. Another good mix¬ 
ture recommended by leading coun¬ 
ty agents is Vz bushel each of
