Henderson's CLYDESDALE OATS 



The Most Popular High-Grade White Oat 



in the United States 



Early and Productive — Free from Disease 



Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deser- 

 vedly gained in popularity, until today it is the most popular 

 High-Grade White Oat in the United States. 



The cost of growing an acre of Oats yielding 30 bushels per 

 acre (the average yield) is exactly the same as growing an acre 

 of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats yielding 80, 85 or 100 bushels 

 per acre and the ultimate financial benefit accruing to the Ameri- 

 can farmers by the annual distribution of several thousand 

 bushels of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats cannot be overestimated. 

 These Oats weigh considerably more per measured bushel 

 than any other variety, and they deteriorate in weight only from 

 three to four lbs. each year they are grown here, so that the 

 produce is worth for seed purposes at least double the market 

 value of ordinary Oats. 



No other Oat can show such a record — 75 to 100 bushels 

 per acre, and double the usual quantity of straw. Another 

 most important advantage of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats 

 to the farmer is the fact that they do not shell out in hand- 

 ling, and that they have been thoroughly cleaned by the latest 

 and most improved machinery, and are absolutely free from 

 foreign and weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. (See engraving; 

 also colored plate on back caver.) 



PRICE Clydesdale Oats, per peck $0.90 



Per Standard bushel of 32 lbs 3.00 



10-bushel lots and upward, per bushel 2.90 



100-bushel lots, per bushel 2.80 



LONG'S WHITE TARTAR OATS 



This grand Side Oat, imported by us in 1901 and grown for us by 

 the late Mr. I. S. Long, a prosperous, scientific farmer of Lebanon 

 County, Pa. — in compliment to whom it was named — has proven 

 remarkably adapted to American climates and conditions, more 

 than fulfilling our anticipations when introduced. Reports 

 from those who grow it — covering many sections of the country — 

 fully verify our first praise and statements regarding this variety 

 and indicate that it holds up well in size, weight and yield, year 

 after year, even in sections where other varieties rapidly deter- 

 iorate. The past season was a very favorable one for all grain 

 crops; it has maintained its reputation as the earliest, heaviest 

 and most prolific Oat in cultivation. It is suitable for all soils, 

 of robust and vigorous constitution, is remarkably early and an 

 immense cropper; the straw, usually 4 to 5 feet in length, is 

 stout, stands up well and does not readily lodge or twist. The 

 heads are very long, measuring from 8 to 10)^ inches, and the 

 kernels are of immense size, thick, plump and heavy. It has 

 proven its superiority, and is undoubtedly the heaviest cropping 

 domestic white Oat ever offered. Planted alongside some of the 

 older varieties, it usually yields more than double the number 

 of bushels per acre of any of the other sorts: 100 bushels per 

 acre may be expected of it under good conditions. A field of this 

 Oat in any farming community invariably attracts the attention, 

 and admiration of neighboring farmers. 



Its extreme eariiness, great length and strength of straw, thick, 

 plump grains and the heavy yields it is capable of producing give 

 Long's White Tartar all the necessary qualifications which go to make 

 an ideal Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



PRICE, Long's White Tartar Oats, per peck $0.80 



Per Standard bushel of 32 lbs 2.75 



10-bushel lots and upward, per bushel 2.65 



100-bushel lots, per bushel 2.50 



EARLY NEWMARKET OATS. A grand new breed of English pedigree Oats 

 of wonderfully vigorous growth, producing very early a heavy crop of unusually 

 large, plump Oats, remarkable for their thinness of husk, which greatly adds to 

 their feeding value. The straw is tall and strong, withstanding unfavorable 

 weather well, and is practically immune from rust. For quality, earlines.s, 

 vitality and productiveness the Early Newmarket Oat is unsurpassed. 



Price, $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 bushel; 100 

 bushels and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



PROBSTEIER OATS. A leading white variety. It is very productive and 

 heavy, and straw very strong. It is of Scandinavian origin, but well adapted 

 to this climate; it ripens two or three days later than manv varieties. 



Price, $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.) ; 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 bushel; lOOjbushels 

 and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



SWEDISH SELECT OATS. Scientific breeders of seeds in Sweden have 

 devoted themselves particularly to the improvement of Oats, and many meri- 

 torious varieties have originated in that country. Probably the variety we 

 offer, Swedish Select is the best al! around Oat among them as it thrives well 

 on all soils. It is a strong grower, a great drought resister and the grain is 

 short, plump and heavy. They are strongly recommended by the United States 

 Department of Agriculture and all our customers should try them. 



Price, 80c. peck; $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 bushel; 

 100 bushels and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



BLACK TARTARIAN OATS. A Side Oat and the msot prolific and distinct 

 variety of Black Oat grown. Its ear is carried all on one side; it is very early, 

 long and strong-strawed, and bears a short, plump grain. 



Price, $3.00 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and upward, $2.90 bushel. 



STORM KING wh, t ?ta t r r t u a e r,an OATS 



We have pleasure recommending this true White Tartarian or Side 

 Oat. It is a heavy cropper; the grain is short, plump, thin skinned 

 and of the highest feeding value. The straw as its name implies is 

 very strong and stiff, enabling it to resist the severest weather. The 

 average weight of the grain per measured bushel is 40 His. For several 

 years we have distributed a limited quantity of Storm King Oats which 

 has proven highly satisfactory. The repeated successful trials warrant 

 us cataloging and recommending it. We advise every grower of Oats 

 to try this variety. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



PRICE, Storm King Oats, per peck $0.90 



Per Standard bushel of 32 lbs 3.00 



10-bushel lots and upward, per bushel 2.00 



100-bushel lots, per bushel 2.80 



WHITE RUSSIAN OATS. Is a Side Oat somewhat coarse, but is much 

 appreciated for its rugged hardiness. It stools freely, has strong, stiff straw, 

 heads large with plump Ltrain. A heavy cropper. 



Price, $2.75 bushel 1 32 lbs."i; 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 bushel; 100 

 bushels and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



WINTER or TURF OATS are quite extensively grown in the Southern St 

 where they are in high favor. Sown in the fall they either afford c\ 

 pasturage during the winter or give abundant yield the following season. The 

 demand for Oats of this character has been gradually extending northward, 

 and to meet it we have been growing in Northern Pennsylvania, for several 

 years, an acclimatized strain which is remarkably hardy and will stand the 

 winter as far north as New Jersey. They are incomparably superior to the 

 Winter or Turf Oats of Virginia; they stool out strongly, are earlier, more 

 vigorous and less susceptible to rust: they have stiff straw, stand up well, and 

 are much more productive than Spring Oats. Sow in September, at the rate 

 1 ' 2 bushels per acre, and sow deep. They will stand much more servere weather 

 when planted four inches deep than near the surface. 



Price, 80c. peck; $2.75 bushel (.32 lbs.l ; 10 bushels and upwards, $2.65 bushel.
