Henderson's Clydesdale Oats. 



NATURAL WEIGHT, SO LBS. PER BUSHEL. 



The Heaviest, the Earliest and most Prolific White 

 Oat in Cultivation. 



Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and 

 deservedly gained in popularity, until to-day it is the most 

 popular High-Grade 'White Oat in the United 

 States. 



The climate of America is unsuited to the production and 

 maintenance of the highest grade of oats, and unless a heavy 

 imported (British) oat be used for seed purposes at least every 

 second or third year, they become light, "chaffy," inferior in 

 quality and unprofitable. The ultimate financial benefit 

 accruing to the American farmers by the annual distribution of 

 several thousand bushels of Henderson's Clydesdale 

 Oats cannot be overestimated. These oats weigh naturally 

 50 lbs. per measured bushel, 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. We offer these oats for sale at 

 the weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, exactly as grown for us in 

 Britain, so that those purchasing will actually receive for every 

 bushel over one and one-half bushels according to the 

 American standard, which reduces the price of "The 

 Clydesdale" to $1 44 per standard bushel of 32 lbs. 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 foreign and weed seeds. (See cut.) Price, by express 

 or freight,$1.00 per peck; $2.50 per bushel (of 50 lbs.) Or 

 we will supply 3 bushels ( 150 lbs.), the quantity to seed 

 an acre, for $7.00. 10 bushels and upwards, $2.25 per bushel. 



In the "Ohio Farmer," Mr. J. T. Hickman, of the Ohio Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, states that samples of Sender-son's Clydesdale Oats 

 and Clydesdale Oats procured from other sources have shown, in a series of 

 experiments, in favor of Henderson's Clydesdale. He also states that the 

 average yield of Clydesdale Oats procured from othersources was something 

 like nine bushels per acre below the results obtained from Henderson's 

 Clydesdale.

CLYDESDALE OATS 



AMERICAN 

 GROWN , . 



(Grown in Northern New York.) 



In order to give Henderson's Clydesdale a still wider dis- 

 tribution and make their value universally known, and to 

 enable us to offer them at a price within the reach of every 

 farmer, we have had several thousand bushels specially grown 

 for us in the United States during the past year. These we 

 have thoroughly recleaned, and are extra choice and heavy, 

 free from all foul seeds and light and imperfect grains. We are 

 within the mark when we say that these oats will yield under 

 ordinary cultivation 70 to 80 bushels per acre, and under favor- 

 able circumstances 100 bushels per acre can reasonably be ex- 

 pected. $1.35 bushel (32 lbs.); 10-bushel lots, $1.30 

 bushel; 100-bushel lots, $1.25 bushel (32 lbs.) 



'■ We got one bushel of Clydesdale Oats from your house four years ago. 

 We have been very successful with them; we now raise no other kind. We 

 had about 1,100 bushels of them this year, but wish to renew the seed."
