OATS. 



IMPROVED PRIZE CLUSTER. 



The Earliest of All Oats — To maintain 

 high-grade Oats it is necessary to have a 

 change of seed every few years so as to 

 keep up the standard of excellence, for 

 Oats grown on the same soil year after 

 year gradually become light and chaffy. 

 "We have for a number of years been work- 

 ing up a stock of Prize Cluster Oats from 

 the parent stock, of which the director of 

 the Iowa Experiment Station spoke so 

 highly. In his report he places Prize 

 Cluster at the head of the list of all varie- 

 ties tested, both for bulk of crop and 

 ■weight per bushel. It is a white variety, 

 with very large heads and heavy, plump 

 grain, straw of medium growth, very 

 strong. In our Improved Prize Cluster 

 Oats we claim to have the best, heaviest 

 and thinnest shelled Oats in cultivation.

SWEDISH SELECT OATS. 



Awarded Gold Medal at the World's Fair, St. 

 Louis, in 1904. 



Seven years ago Prof. M. A. Carleton of the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture, while on a tour of investiga- 

 tion in Russia, noticed the superiority of oats of Swe- 

 dish origin over all other sorts and he secured a quan- 

 tity of them which he had shipped to "Washington, D. 

 C, and from there distributed them throughout the 

 United States under the name of Swedish Select Oats. 

 The Wisconsin Experimental Station secured some of 

 these oats for trial 'with a number of other kinds. 

 They were grown four years on the University grounds, 

 and Prof. Moore pronounced Swedish Select the most 

 satisfactory of all the varieties tested, yielding excep- 

 tionally well, having a strong stiff straw, and very 

 heavy grain (weighing 36 to 40 lbs. per measured 

 bushel) with a thin skin. 



Swedish Select Oats appears to be well adapted 

 to high land, the best returns being obtained on 

 clay loam. Its root development is such as to en- 

 able it to resist drought better than anv other 

 sort. Peck 40c; bushel $1.00; 5 bushels $4.50; 10 



bushels $8.00 



Black Tartarian — A very prolific Oat of vigor- 

 ous growth. Peck 50c; bushel . . . . % $1.50 



BUCKWHEAT. 



Sliver Hall — This variety sown at the same time 

 as the common Buckwheat, continues in bloom 

 longer, matures a few days sooner, and yields 

 nearly double under the same conditions. The 

 flour is ■whiter and more nutritious. Peck 40c; 

 bushel $1.00; 5 bushels $4.75 



Japanese — An early and very prolific variety, with 

 kernels about double the size of ordinary sorts. 

 It ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull and 

 yields at least twice as much. Peck 40c; bushel 



$1.00; 5 bushels $4.75

IMPROVED PBIZE CLUSTEB OATS. 



This new grain has now been tried out for several 

 seasons in the Northwestern and also in some of the 

 semi-arid states, and with remarkable success; it 

 withstands the extremes of heat and cold better than 

 any cereal we know of. The United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture endorses it as a grain to which farmers should pay great attention to as a 

 crop especially adapted to withstand drought and heat and one which 'should become prominent 

 for stock feed. It is readily eaten by all kinds of stock and its feeding qualities are excellent. 

 It withstands great extremes of climate, is enormously productive, and can be treated in the same 

 manner as other grain. Sow broadcast, using 60 lbs. per acre. Weight per bushel 40 lbs.
