originated at the Wisconsin College of Agri- 
culture Many 
place as a 
years ago, yet it still holds its 
leading malting variety. Straw is 
medium in height and strength and the heads 
are large. Moderately resistant to spot blotch 
disease but susceptible to stripe, scab, stem rust, 
mildew and smut diseases,

white kernel, malting barley originating in the 
Dakotas. It is earlier than Oderbrucker and 
yields more but has a weaker straw. Resistant to 
stem rust, moderately resistant to spot blotch 
but susceptible to leaf stripe, mildew, scab and 
smut. The performance and quality are very

BUCK WHEAT 
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.

GRAINS 
IN W BRAND CERTIFIED SHED. This seed is grown 
ube ade ater stock obtained each year from the Wisconsin College 
i of Agriculture. Field inspections are made by a representative of 
the Wisconsin Experiment Association and official samples are taken 
for laboratory test by the inspector. Seed must show a purity of 
99.5. There must be not more than one kernel per pound of other 
varieties or kinds of grains. No noxious weed seeds and not more 
than ten per pound of other weed seeds. Germination must be, 90 
per cent or better. Foundation seed is seed produced on the station 
farm. The seed is officially tagged and sealed with the certified 
red W seal labél by their representative and sold in full sealed bags 
only. These precautions are taken to safeguard the identity of the seed 
and to maintain high quality. 
STANDARD SEED. Our ‘‘Standard Seed’’ shows high purity 
and is nearly equal to the Certified Seed. Most of it is produced 
from Certified Seed. Used bags are furnished free. E

REDSON 
Redson is a variety of flax which was approved 
for certified seed production by the Wisconsin 
College of Agriculture and the Wisconsin Experi- 
ment Association. It has special 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. :
