HENDERSON'S FARMERS MANUAL 



OATS 



PEDIGREE OATS — A change of Seed Oats is necessary 

 and the seed should be renewed at least every second or third 

 year. Oats grown on the same soil or in the same neighborhood 

 year after year deteriorate rapidly and soon become light and 

 unprofitable. 



HENDERSON'S CLYDESDALE OATS 



Since we introduced this grand variety it has steadily and 

 deservedly gained in popularity, until today it is the most 

 popular HIGH-GRADE WHITE OAT in the United States. 

 The ultimate financial benefit accruing to the American farmers 

 by the annual distribution of several thousand bushels of these 

 oats cannot be over-estimated. These Oats weigh considerably 

 more per measured bushel that any other variety, so that the 

 produce is worth for seed purposes at least double the market 

 value of ordinary Oats. None other 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 have been 

 thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery, 

 and are absolutely free from weed seeds. (See illustration.) 

 Sow 3 bushels per acre.

LONG'S WHITE TARTAR OATS 



The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Side 

 Oat in cultivation. It is suitable for all soils: of robust and 

 vigorous constitution, is remarkably early and an immense 

 cropper; the straw is long and stout, stands up well and does 

 not readily lodge or twist. The heads measure from 8 to 10 K 

 inches, and the kernels are of immense size, thick, plump and 

 heavy; it 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. 



Its extreme earliness, great length and strength of straw, 

 thick, plump grains and the heavy yields it is capable of pro- 

 ducing give Long's White Tartar all the necessary qualifications 

 which go to make an ideal Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre.

STORM KING 



We have pleasure recommending this true White Tartarian or Side Oat. It „ 

 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. We advise every grower of Oats to try 

 this variety. Sow 3 bushels per acre.

 lbs.) $2.50; 10 bushel lots $2.40 per bushel; 100 bushel lots $2.25 per 

 bushel. 



SWEDISH SELECT 



Scientific breeders of seeds in Sweden have devoted themselves par- 

 ticularly to the improvement of Oats, and many meritorious varieties 

 have originated in that country. Probably SWEDISH SELECT, the 

 variety we offer, is the best 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. It is strongly recommended by the United 

 States Department of Agriculture. (See engraving.) Price, purchaser 

 paying transportation charges, peck, 75c; bushel (32 lbs.) $2.00; 

 10 bushel lots, per bushel, $1.90; 100 bushe! lots per bushel, $1.80. 



EARLY NEWMARKET 



A grand breed of English pedigree Oats of wonderfully vigorous 

 growth, producing very early a heavy crop of unusually large, plump 

 Oats, remarkable for this 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, 

 earliness, vitality, and productiveness this Oat is unsurpassed. Sow 

 3 bushels per acre. 



Price, purchaser paying transportation charges, 70c. per peck; 

 $2.00 per bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushel lots at $1.90 per bushel; 

 100 bushel lots at $1.75 per bushel.
