Seed Oats 
_. 1156. Burt or 90-Day Oats. The earliest, most prolific and surest cropping of 
Spring Oats; far superior to an ordinary Spring or rust-proof Oats for Spring seeding. 
Wherever this Oat is grown it comes into great favor. For a Spring Oat for seeding in 
Mareh and April it is the best and surest of Spring Oats. It is earlier to mature, free 
from rust, healthy, clean and vigorous growth of straw, and makes a very good yield of 
clean, bright and heavy grain. On account of its earliness to mature, it escapes the dry 
hot weather we frequently experience in June, and is on this account one of. the surest 
cropping varieties of the South. Color and appearance of grain somewhat resemble the 
rust-proof Oat. Please write us for latest prices. 
1161. Virginia Gray Winter or Turf Oats. When sown early, before the Middle 
of March, these Oats will far outyield the ordinary Spring Oats, making a larger crop and 
heavier grain. For seed purposes, too, it is most desirable to sow Winter’ Oats in the 
Spring, as they make a better and cleaner seed Oats for sowing in the Fall than if con- 
tinual seedings are made from the Fall-grown Oats. Further North than Virginia remark- 
able results have been obtained from these Oats, when sown even as late as the first of May, 
and from the reports of our customers, we strongly recommend these Oats to our Northern 
and Western farmers, as we believe that they will give much larger and better yielding 
crops than the Spring Oats usually sown in the Northern and Western States. Sow at the 
rate of 14% to 2 bushels per acre. Please write us for prices. 
1157. White Spring Oats. This is the variety most generally sown throughout the 
North and West, and is also so largely grown in this section, although the newest varieties 
offered by us are decidedly preferable, both as to yield and reliability of cropping. Please 
write us for market prices. i 
1272. Appler Oats. The Appler Oat is equally adapted for sowing both in the , 
Spring and in the Fall, but when sown in the Spring should be sown before the middle of 
March. It is a strong, quick growing Oat, bunchy head and heavy grain. One of the best 
and most reliable Rust-Proof Oats for the South. Please write for market prices. 
12738. Bancroft Oats. An improved strain of Rust-Proof Oats. One of the best, 
largest yielding and surest cropping of Spring Oats. Matures in about 95 days. Please 
write for market prices. 
1274. Montana or Swedish Oats. These Oats originally imported from Sweden are 
very large, white, plump and heavy grained and yield enormous crops. The straw is 
coarse and is noted for its stiffness and power to withstand lodging and is a great drought
