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 he superfluous. We 

 have distributed it everywhere 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 best Oat in cultiva- 

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

 fact, however, wewill simply state that Prof. B. 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 measure- 

 ment and weight that Prize Cluster produced more thanany of theother 

 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 remarkably iieavy. Peck, 40 cts. ; bushel, 

 f 1.00; 2"/4 bushels $2 25

WINTER WHEAT. 



Early Red Clawson Wheat (Bald)— The earliest Winter Wheat. This 

 variety is a cross between Golden Cross and Clawson, and inherits all 

 the good qualities of the parents — extreme hardiness, rapid growth, 

 large kernels and enormous productiveness. It is especially desirable 

 for heavy clay soils, and when sown on rich groimd should be seeded 

 very lightly, owing to its remarkable stooling propensities. Peck, 60 

 cts.; bushel, $2.00; 2'/4 bushels 4 50 



Jones' Winter Fife Wheat (Bald)— The best Winter Wheat grown. 

 Equal to No. 1 Hard Spring Wheat. It is a strong grower, producing 

 a very large crop of transparent, hard, dark grain, frequently weighing 

 65 pounds to the measured bushel. It ripens early and should not be 

 harvested until fully ripe, as the grain improves in quality and color 

 the longer it remains in the straw, and does not shell out in the field. 



Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $2.00; 2V4 bushels 4 50
