HENDERSONS ^FFH OAT^ 



OUR OATS ARE ESPECIALLY GROWN FROM SELECTED STOCK FOR SEED PURPOSES.: 



All cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery, free from weed seeds and small, 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 PAT EVERY 

 TIME to even renew stock every year. 

 Oats grown on the same soil or in the 

 same neighborhood year after year de- 

 teriorate 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 can- 

 not go wrong in sowing this variety. $1.10 

 bushel; 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 bet- 

 ter. (See cut.) $1.10 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 

 bushels and upward, $1.05 bushel; 100 bush- 

 els and upward, $1.00 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 lbs.); 10 bushels and up- 

 ward, $1.05 bushel ; 100 bushels and up- 

 ward, $1.00 bushel. 



■WHITE RUSSIAN. Is somewhat coarse, 

 but is much appreciated for its rugged hardi- 

 ness. 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 ; 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 

 lbs.) ; 10 bushels and upward, $1.25 bushel. 



WINTER OATS. We are now booking 

 orders for delivery next fall for Winter Oats 

 grown in New Jersey, which are much hardier 

 than those grown in Virginia and other South- 

 ern States, and will stand the winter as far 

 north as New York City. They stool out 

 strongly, are earlier and much more vigorous in 

 growth than any spring variety, and are less 

 susceptible to rust. They should be planted 

 deep in northern latitudes as they will stand 

 much more severe weather when planted four 

 inches deep than when planted nearer the sur- 

 face. 40c. peck, $115 bushel; 10 bushels 

 and upward, $1.10 bushel. 



BARLEY. 



Should be more grown than it is, especially in 

 these days of low-priced wheat. The straw 

 makes excellent rough feed for all kinds of 

 stock. It is also one of the best grains with 

 which to sow down to grass in spring. 



NEW WHITE HULLESS BARLEY. A 



valuable new variety, which should be sown at 

 the rate of 1J^ bushels per acre, about the time 

 of sowing Oats. It is two or three weeks earlier 

 than ordinary Barley, grows about the same 

 height, and will not shatter in the field, even 

 when very ripe. The grain is not unlike Wheat, 

 and weighs about 60 lbs. per bushel, instead of 

 48 lbs. as other Barley. For feeding to horses 

 and hogs, when ground, it is unequaled, and is 

 also exceedingly valuable as hay, if cut and 

 cured just before ripening. 75c. per peck, $2.00 

 per bushel of 48 lbs. ; 10-bushel lots, $1.80 per 

 bushel. 



TWO-ROWED DUCK-BILL. The heads 

 are of great length, and when maturing become 

 slightly curved ; the grains are large and plump, 

 and brighter than any other variety of two- 

 rowed Barley. The straw is stronger than the 

 old popular Chevalier Barley, and has yielded 

 nearly 70 bushels per acre. 50c. per peck, 

 $1.60 per bushel. 



VERMONT CHAMPION. Two-rowed, 

 early, hardy and prolific. 50c. per peck, $1.60 

 per bushel. 



RYE. 



PKOBSTEIEE OATS. 



Rye is a valuable crop for either soiling, 

 green fodder, straw or grain. It is largely used 

 by farmers to seed down with in the fall, and is 

 considered preferable to wheat for this purpose, 

 as it protects the young grass and matures two 

 weeks earlier in the summer than wheat. It is 

 also extensively used for fall pasture when sown 

 early and for cutting green in late spring and 

 early summer, but when wanted for cutting it is 

 best sown with the sand or winter vetch. 



SPRING. A variety produced by planting 

 Winter Eye in the spring for several years, and 

 selecting the seed until the type was fixed. It 

 is an excellent "catch-crop" where fall-sown 

 grain has been winter-killed, and also for fodder 

 and grain. $2.00 per bushel ; 10 bushels and 

 upward, $1.85 per bushel. 



EXCELSIOR WINTER. A variety from 

 Vermont, that has never failed to yield at the 

 rate of from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With the 

 originator, a four-acre field yielded 52 bushels 

 to the acre. 



WINTER. The variety most commonly cul- 

 tivated, whether sown for grain, straw or cut- 

 ting green. 



THOUSANDFOLD. Said to be the most 

 productive Bye in cultivation ; the straw is tall 

 and strong, with long, heavy heads, and stands 

 up well. Especially recommended where Bye 

 is grown more for the straw than the grain.
