 OATS. 



WINTER or 

 TURF OATS 



are quite extensi 

 ly grown in 

 Southern Stat 

 where the3' are in 1 

 Sown in the fall 

 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 Nortliern Pennsylvania, for 

 several years, an acclimatized strain which is remarka- 

 bly hardy and will stand the winter as far north as New 

 ersey. They are incomparably superior to tlie Winter 

 Turf Oats of Virginia ; they stool out strongly, are ear- 

 more vigorous and less susceptible to rust ; they have stiff" 

 stand up well, and are much more productive than 

 )ats. 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, $1.15 bushel (32 lbs.); 10-bushel lots and upwards, $1.10 bushel.
