OATS. 



SCOTTISH CHIEF — To maintain high grade Oata it is necessary to have a change of seeds every few years, so aB to keep up our standard of excellency, 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 obtained 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 and Royal Doncaster. 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 ane O its. 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 ae imported, weighing SO lbs. 



per bushel, which at the American Standard weight of 32 lbs., would mean only $1.60 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., $2.50; 5 bushels for $11.75; 10 bushels for $22.50. 



Royal Doncaster — A. new English White Oat of more than ordinary 

 our American varieties, after three years' trial we have found in 

 large yielder, straw stiff and long, and of splendid 

 quality; grain plump and very heavy with very 

 clear thin skin, making it by far the best Oat we 

 have ever seen for feeding horses. Owners of the 

 leading Racing Stables and Hunting Establishments, 

 and oreeders of Shire and pure bred horses in Eng- 

 land, pay more for this Oat than any other, in conse- 

 quence of its great superiority for feeding purposes. 

 Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, $1.50; 5 bushels $7 00 



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 Cluster, we will say that it is a white 

 variety of medium growth, very robust, heads very 

 large, and grain remarkably heavy. But slightly 

 mixed with black Oats. Peck, 40 cts.; bushel, $1.00; 

 2% bushels for $2.25; 5 bushels for 4 25 



Lincoln — The introduction of this variety a few years ago 

 created quite a sensation amongst the farmers who 

 invesied in it, and judging from the many reports we 

 have had it proved an excellent sort. The intro- 

 ducer thus describes it: " The Lincoln Oat has pro- 

 duced one-third more than any other variety grown 

 in the same locality. It is very early, and thus far 

 has proven entirely 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, $1.25; 2H busnels, $3.00; 5 bushels for 5 00 



Black Prolific — A very prolific sort of vigorous 

 growth. Peck, 40cts. ;bushel, $1.00; 2y 2 bushels for 

 $3.25; 5 bushels 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 25 



RYE. 



Spring— Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.25; 2y 2 bushels 2 75 



Winter— Peck, 50cts.; bushel, $1.25; 2'/£ bushels 2 75 



Hungarian Winter— A remarkably hardy and strong 



growing variety, outyielding all other sorts, and of 



superior milling qualities. Peck, 60 cts.; bushel, 



$1.50; 2H bushels 3 25 



SPRING WHEAT. 



Saskatchewan Pyfe — This wheat is beyond question 

 the hardest and best milling wheat known. 



Other favorite features are earliness, vigor of 

 growth, productiveness, purity and healthiness. 

 Adapted to all Stites where Spring Wheat can be 

 grown. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.25; 2y 2 bushels 2 75 



WINTER WHEAT. 



Early Red Clawson Wheat (Bald) — The earliest 

 Winter Wheat. This variety is a cross between 

 Golden Cross and Clawson. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, 

 $1.50; 2% bushels 3 50 



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

 ter 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 fall growth and heavy root, yielding over 62 

 bushels to the acre. Peck, 75 cts. ; bushel, $2 00; 2 l / 2 

 bushels 4 75 



SCOTTISH CHIEF. 



50 lbs. per measured bushel. 



ROYAL DONCASTER. 



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

 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 can- 

 not 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 much 

 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 most 

 popular sorts of Winter Wheat were first introduced, the farmers are very enthusiastic in favor of The International No. 6. Peck, $1.00; bushel $3 00
