OLDS’ PEDIGREED SEED GRAINS 
Sheaf of First Prize White Cross. 
OLDS’ PEDIGREED OATS 
(Sow 64 to 96 pounds to the acre.) 
REGISTERED SEED is seed that was grown from either foundation or registered seed, that has 
been both field inspected and sample inspected by the Experiment Association and shows a purity 
test of not less than 99.8 per cent. There must be not more than one kernel per pound of other 
varieties or kinds of grain, no noxious weed seeds, not more than 9 per pound of other weed seeds 
and not more than 2/10 per cent of inert matter. The grain must be grown from seed treated 
for smut and show not more than % per cent of smut. Germination must be at least 90 per cent, 
weight not less than 30 pounds. By foundation seed is meant seed that was grown on the Station Farm. 
C^®'TIFIED seed. ‘‘Certified Seed’’ calls for the same inspections as Registered Seed, with 
freedom from noxious weeds, the purity test not less than 99.5 per cent. There must be riot more 
than 5/10 per cent mixture of other varieties and not more than 9 per pound other kinds of grain, 
otherwise the same requirements as for Registered Seed. 
STANDARD SEED. Our Standard Seed shows high purity and is nearly equal to the Certified Seed. 
CHOICE SEED OATS are a specialty with us. Our oats are grown on contract by careful farmers. 
We turnish the stock seed, watching and inspecting the crops as they grow. The crops are finally 
delivered at our warehouse, where we thoroughly clean and grade the grain with our up-to-date 
cleaning machinery. 
WISCONSIN PEDIGREE VARIETIES. Wisconsin stands at the head of all the states in developing 
valuable pedigree strains of oats. We are in close touch with the work done along this line at the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station here at Madison and offer the varieties produced by them, confining 
ourselves mostly to those varieties. 
OFFICIAL TAGS. We use official certification tags authorized by the Wisconsin Experiment 
Association. 
WISCONSIN WONDER (Pedigree No. 1) 
PROBABLY THE BEST ALL-AROUND MEDIUM OAT. 
A wonderfully valuable oat introduced by us years ago. Out on the Universitv 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 
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 .'areful 
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 
appearing, with rather long kernels. 
Prices, Standard Seed: By mail. 1 lb., 20c: 5 lbs., 55c, postpaid. By freight: Pk., 
25c; bit., 86c; 10 bus, at 82c; 25 bus. at 80c.

STRTE’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 yel¬ 
low 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 es¬ 
cape rust. 
It has a short stiff straw and has stood 
up the best of all oats at the Wisconsin Sta¬ 
tion Farm. 
It has been grown for over 20 years at 
the Exxreriment Station and has given an 
average yield of 68.5 bushels per acre, a 
record which no other oat has equalled. 
Prices, Registered Seed: By mail, 1 lb., 
20c: 5 lbs., 55c, postpaid. By freight: Pk., 
35c; bu., 90c; 1(3 bus. at 87c; 25 bus. at 85c.

TREAT SEED GRAINS WITH NEW 
IMPROVED CERESAN 
Checks seed rotting, reduces seedling 
blight, controls stinking smut, and improves 
and increases your yield. Even on clean seed 
the average increase has been 1.13 bushels 
an acre. Proved effective by exijeriment sta¬ 
tions of most important grain states. Easily 
dusted on seed as directed, may be applied 
as long as three months before sowing. No 
dust in drilling, no drill damage, and only 
about half the cost of other dust treatments. 
Same treatment is used on oats, wheat and 
barley. One pound treats 
32 bushels. Prices: 4-oz. 
can (treats 8 bus.), 30c, 
postpaid; 1-lb. size, 75c; 
by mail, 80c; 5-lb. size, 
$3.25; by mail, $3.45. 
Swedish Select Oats. 
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 
kernels 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 standing well u)) 
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 
ordinar.v light soils but we do not recommend it for rich, 
black soils. In season, about medium. 
Prices, Standard Seed: By mail, 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c, 
postpaid. By freight: Pk., 25c; bu., 85c; 10 bus. at 82c; 
25 bus. at 80c.
