CURKIB S PRIZE CLUSTER OATS. 



OATS. 



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

 so universally popular has it become that any description of it or ac- 

 count of its very superior merits would simply be superfluous. We 

 have distributed it everyvphere throughout our own and neighboring- 

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

 to learn from all quarters that it is considered the beat Oat in aiUiva- 

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

 however, we will simply state that Prof. R. P. Speer, 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 69 b^tsheU to the acre, three' 

 bushels more than any of the other sorts. For the information of any 

 one 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 re- 

 markably heavy. Peck, 50cts.; bushel, $1.25; 10 bushel lots $11.50
