RUAKURA 



A 



NEW rust-resistant 

 variety of wonderful 

 productivity from New 

 Zealand, 90 bushels of first- 

 grade seed and 9 bushels of 

 second-grade having been pro- 

 duced to the acre. That the 

 Ruakura Oat is rust-resistant is 

 undoubted. More than this, 

 during the 4 years of its exis- 

 tence, no sign of rust, smut, or 

 root-fungus has made its appear- 

 ance on it, though two other 

 varieties growing in the same 

 field were affected with all three, 

 the last named disease being 

 particularly bad. Slightly grey in colour, the oat is thin- 

 skinned, and of fine quality, with a good, heavy kernel. 12 6 

 per bushel. Only a limited quantity available. Order at once.

 kinds. Stands drought excellently. It is ready now, and you should order 

 without delay. 1/- per lb. ; 95/- per cwt.
