CDKBIB'S PRIZE CLUSTER OATS. 



Currie's Prize Cluster— The heaviest and most prolific Oats growtc^ 

 ■so uuiversally popular has it become that any description of it orac- 

 connt of Its very superior merits would simply be superfluous. We- 

 have distributed it everywhere throughout our own and neighboring; 

 States, so that it is well known; and we are in no measure surprisedi 

 to learn from all quarters that it is considered ikclicd Oat in cultiva- 

 tion, by far the earliest and most productive. To substantiate this fact^ 

 however, we will simply state that Prof. R. P. Spear, Director of the- 

 lowa 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 iweight that Prize CiuHcr produced more than any of the other sai-tK.. 

 For the information of any who may not have tried Prize Cluster we- 

 ■will say that it is a white variety of medium growth, very robust, 

 heads very large, and grain remarkably heavy. Peck, 50 cts. ; bushel,
