PURPOSES. RECLEANED BY THE MOST IMPROVED MACHINERY, 
FREE FROM WEED SEEDS, SMALL AND IMPERFECT GRAINS. 
IMPORTANT.—A change of Seed Oats is even more necessary than a change of Seed 
—_ Potatoes, and they should be renewed at least every second or third 
year. At the low prices at which we offer below choice recleaned Seed Oats, IT WILL PAY 
EVERY TIME to even renew stock every year. Oats grown on the same soil or in the same 
neighborhood year after year deteriorate rapidly and soon become light, chaffy and unprofitable.

LINCOLN. On its merits this has become one of the most popular. Is very strong- 
strawed, is very early, and is more nearly rust-proof than any other variety. The grain 
is heavy, handsome, and thin skinned. You cannot go wrong in sowing this variety. 
$1.10 bushel (32 Ibs.); 10 bushels and upward, $1.05 bushel; 100 bushels and 
upward, $1.00 bushel. 
PROBSTEIER. 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 many varieties, but yields better. (See cut.) $1.00 bushel (32 
Ibs.); 10 bushels and upward, 95c. bushel; 100 bushels and upward, 90c. bushel. 
SILVER-WHITE MAINE. A grand oat of vigorous habit of growth and seems to thrive 
better under hot, dry and other unfavorable weather conditions than most other varieties. 
$1.10 bushel (32 Ibs.); 10 bushels and upward, $1.05 bushel; 100 bushels and upward, 
$1.00 bushel. 
WHITE RUSSIAN. Is somewhat coarse, but is much appreciated for its rugged har- 
diness. It stools freely, has strong, stiff straw, heads large with plump grain. A heavy 
cropper. It is a side oat, all the grain being borne on one side. $1.10 bushel (32 Ibs.); 
10 bushels and upward, $1.05 bushel; 100 bushels and upward, $1.00 bushel. 
BLACK TARTARIAN. The most 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. 40c. peck, $1.30 bushel (32 Ibs.); 10 bushels and upward, $1.25 bushel;

HENDERSON’S 
SUPERIOR 
WINTER 
OATS. 
WINTER or 
TURF OATS 
are quite extensive- 
ly grown in the 
Southern States, 
where they are in high favor. 
Sown in the fall they either 
afford excellent 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 remarka- 
bly 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 ear- 
lier, 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 of 1% bushels per 
acre, and sow deep. They will stand much more severe weather 
when planted four inches deep than near the surface. (See cut.) 40c. 
peck, $1.25 bushel (32 1bs.); 10-bushel lots and upwards, $1.20 bushel.
