OLDS’ PEDIGREED SEED GRAINS 
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. 
_ CERTIFIED 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 not 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 furnish 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 Pedigree No. 7) 
Most Popular Early Oat and Best 
Yielder of All Oats at Wisconsin Experi- 
ment 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~ Wiscon- 
sin. 
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. In- 
deed the earliest of all varieties, some 25 
or 30, grown at the Wisconsin Station.

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 
Kxperiment 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.

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 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. z
