OATS. 



SCOTTISH CHIEF— To maintain higb grade Oats it is necessary to hare a change of seeds every few years, so as to keep up our standard of excel- 

 ce as Oats grown on the same soil in our climate rapidly become chaffy. It is a well known fact that nearly all of our best varieties were originally 

 '.airied from imported stock. With this in view we have from time to time imported new sorts, several of which have proved of great value to the farmer. 



Of these we may mention Currie's Prize Cluster. Scottish Chief is a variety of unquestioned merit 

 and one possessing more good points than any other found in Scotland, a country particularly adapted! 

 for producing fine Oats. For size of grain, plumpness, strength of straw, and bulk of yield, 

 they are unsurpassed by any Oat in this or any other country. We offer these Oats as imported, weigh- 

 ing 50 lbs. per bushel, which at the American Standard weight of 32 lbs., would mean only 81.6© 

 per bushel. Try a few bushels of Scottish Chief. We predict these will become the forerunners of a 

 new race of grand heavy Oats. 



Per peck, 75 cts. ; per bushel of 50 lbs., S3. 50 ; 5 bushels for S11.75 ; 10 bushels 



for $22.50. 



Currie's Prize Cluster— Very early and productive. 

 Prof. R. P. Spear, director of the Iowa Agricultural 

 Experimental Station, in his report for 1888, places 

 Prize Cluster at the head of the list of varieties he had 

 tested. Out of fifteen of the leading sorts grown he 

 found by careful measurement and weight that Prize 

 Cluster produced more than any of the other sorts. For the 

 information of any who may not have tried Prize Clus- 

 ter, we will say that it is a white variety of medium 

 growth, very robust, heads very large, and grain re- 

 markably heavy. But slightly mixed with black Oats. 

 Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, $1.00; 2% bushels for $2.25; 5 bush- 

 els for $4.25 



Lincoln— The introduction of this variety a few years 

 ago created quite a sensation amongst the farmer* who 

 invested in it, and judging from the many reports we 

 have had it proved an excellent sort. The introducer 

 thus describes it : " The Lincoln Oat has produced one- 

 third more than any other variety grown in the same 

 locality. It is very early, and thus far has proven en- 

 tirely rust-proof. It stands up better than any other 

 sort, and is the best for feeding on account of its thin 

 hull and heavy meat; 7 bushels produced 817 

 bushels 21 lbs., or an average of 116 bushels to 

 each bushel sown. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.00; 2% 

 bushels, $2.25; 5 bushels for 4.25 



Black Prolific — A very prolific sort of vigorous growth. 

 Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, $1.00; 2% bushels for $2.25; 5 bush- 

 els for 4.25 



White Shoenen— A very large yielder ; extensively 

 grown in Wisconsin. Grain plump and heavy; heads 

 very large; straw stout. Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, $1.00; 2}£ 

 bushels for $2.25; 5 bushels for 4.24

Winter— Peck, 50 cts.; buBhel, $1.25; iy 2 bushels 2.75 



Hungarian Winter — A remarkably haTdy and strong 

 growing variety, outyielding all other sorts, and of su- 

 perior milling qualities. Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $1.50:

SPRING WHEAT. 



Subject to Market Fluctuations. 



Saskatchewan Fyfe — This wheat is beyond ques- 

 tion the hardest and best milling wheat known. 



Other favorite features are earliness, vigor of growth, 

 productiveness, purity and healthiness. Adapted to 

 all States where Spriug Wheat can be grown. Peck, 50 

 cts.; bushel, $1.50; 2% bushels 3.25 



WINTER WHEAT. 



Subject to Market Fluctuations. 



Early Red Clawson Wheat (Bald)— The earliest Win- 

 ter Wheat. This variety is a cross between Golden Cross 

 and Clawson. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50 ; 2y 2 bushels.. 3.50 



Jones' Winter Fyfe Wheat (Bald)— The best Winter 

 Wheat grown. Equal to No. 1 Hard Spring Wheat. 

 Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50 ; 2^ bushels 3.50 



Early Genesee Giant (Half Bald)— Remarkable for 

 its thrifty tall growth and heavy root, yielding over 62 

 bushels to the acre. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel, $2.00; 2% 

 bushels 4.75 



CURRIE'S prize cluster. 



ioudI International No. 6 (Bald) — A new wheat which now occupies a first place among leaders and destined to supersede many of the most popular va- 



-ilvseties. It makes a very stiff straw, which seldom lodges, even on very rich soil. It produces heavy crops on poor land, where most varieties of Wheat 



.' innot be successfully or profitably grown, and has the further merit of being extremely hardy. On rich soil it yields very heavy crops, and is not 



juch inclined to shell when over-ripe, as many varieties do. It stools very heavily. In the section of New York State, where many of the best and 



" ost popular sorts of Winter Wheat were first introduced, the farmers are very enthusiastic in favor of the International No. 6. Peck, 75 cts.; bushel. $2.00
