A Field of Henry Spring Wheat. 
HENRY SPRING WHEAT 
(Sow 90 to 120 pounds to the acre.) 
Henry Wheat will mean to this crop what 
Vicland and Forvic Oats have meant to that 
grain. Henry Wheat should eliminate the bad 
wheat years just as Vicland has eliminated the 
bad oat years. It was developed by Prof. R. G. 
Shands in a Co-operative grain-breeding project 
of the Wisconsin Experiment Station and the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, by a series of 
crosses made at the Wisconsin Station between 
1929 and 1933, with the final parents being a 
eross of Illinois No. 1 x Hope and a selection 
from Webster x Resaca. Six years of testing 
has shown that Henry Wheat is highly resistant 
to leaf rust, the most serious disease of wheat 
in Wisconsin. It is also quite resistant to black 
stem rust and to bunt or stinking smut. In tests 
in the last three years, Henry outyielded Stur- 
geon, Wisconsin’s highest yielding spring wheat 
up to that time, by 23% and the older varieties 
by considerably more. Henry is a_ bearded 
spring wheat with large wide heads. The straw 
is moderately stiff and about as tall as Sturgeon 
and will ripen along with Marquis wheat or 
about five days later than Vicland oats. The 
kernels are medium red in color, slightly softer 
in texture than Marquis and larger than any 
other spring wheat. Because of the large ker- 
nels it should be seeded heavier. It is primarily 
-a feed wheat, but it is also satisfactory for 
baking.

BUCKWHEAT 
Sow buckwheat from June 10 to July 10, one 
bushel (50 lbs.) 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. Therefore, 
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 Common, 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. Large, of dark 
brown color. Higher in market than Common.

WHITE CANADA 
FIELD PEAS 
White Canada is the best known and 
most popular variety of field peas. Sow 
1 to 1% bushels per acre broadcast 
with the same amount of oats. Another 
good mixture recommended by leading 
county agents is % bushel each_ of 
Field Peas, Vicland Oats, Barbless Bar- 
ley and Progress Wheat.

OLDS’ FLAX 
(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 in- 
cluded 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, 
COMMON FLAX. Good, clean, bright seed. 
Recommended for growing on soils that have not 
previously grown a crop of flax. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 40c; 5 lbs., $1.75, post- 
paid. By freight or express f. 0. b. Madison: 
Pk., $3.90; bu. (56 lbs.), $12.00; 3 bus. at 
$11.90 per bu. Bags free. 
REDSON FLAX 
Redson is a new variety of flax which has 
been approved for certified seed production by 
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture and the 
Wisconsin Experiment Association. It has spe- 
cial merit with respect to yield and quantity of 
oil. In tests in Wisconsin and a number of 
neighboring states, it has averaged higher in 
acre yield in most places than the best of the 
old varieties. It has a strong plant and matures 
early. Very resistant to the wilt disease. 
Sealed and labeled with W Brand tag 
bushel sacks. 
Prices, Certified Wisconsin W Brand, by 
freight or express f, 0. b. Madison: 1 bu. (56 
lbs.), $14.00; 3 bus, at $13.90 per bu. 
SPRING RYE 
(Sow 70 to 98 pounds to the acre.) 
Spring Rye is a valuable crop and should be 
more largely sown. 
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 or- 
dinarily 30 to 40 bushels per acre. 
Prices, Standard Seed, by mail: Lb., 35c; 5 
Ibs., $1.50, postpaid. By freight or express f, 0.

MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
SUNFLOWER 
A great feed for poultry and hogs. Also grown 
quite largely now for silage. Also for sheep 
pasture. It makes a much larger amount of feed 
than ensilage corn.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Dwarf Essex Rape makes a quick pasture and 
is very valuable feed. It is ideal for sheep pas- 
ture, and is also now largely sown for hogs and 
cattle. It may be sown in the following ways: 
In early spring, 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
With spring grain or just as it begins to come 
up, 2 pounds per acre to provide pasture after 
harvest. 
With corn just before the last cultivation. 
We handle only the best and purest Genuine 
Dwarf Essex; seed that is entirely free from

bines a high degree of disease resistance with 
superior yielding ability and has satisfactory 
milling and baking qualities for pastry flour. 
The performance of this new winter wheat this 
past year was outstanding and many yields of 
over 50 bushels per acre have been reported,

SHIPPING FIELD SEEDS 
Except small amounts quoted postpaid all 
field seeds are priced freight or express f. o. b. 
Madison. If you want your seed shipped by 
freight please order early as the movement of 
freight these days is unusually slow. Unless 
your order is large we would suggest that you 
instruct us to ship by express, which is much 
quicker. Freight rates are also higher and small 
lots in many cases can be shipped cheaper by 
express than by, freight. We would suggest 
that before sending your order that you esti- 
mate the amount of weight of the order and 
call your local express agent who will give you 
the estimated express charges on the shipment, 
and if the express rate is reasonable that you 
designate to ship express. 
FIELD SEEDS BY MAIL 
Seeds up to 70 Ibs. can be sent by mail. If 
more seed is wanted than is quoted postpaid, take 
the freight price on quantity desired and add 
postage. Postage table on order blank,
