A. Moore of the Wisconsin Experiment Station, early realizing the need and advantage of improvement in Barley types, has for some years given particular attention to Barley breeding, starting with varieties of certain known good qualities, and by laborious selection and reselection devel- oping those qualities to their utmost-perfection, with the result that there have already been disseminated from the Experi- ment Station new Barleys of such marked superiority over the old sorts that the attention of the entire nation has been arrested. The two varieties or strains first named below are products of the same original stock separately developed. The stocks we offer are straight, clean and pure. ODERBRUCKER BARLEY—WISCONSIN No. 55.
