HENDERSON'S FARMERS MANUAL 



AATC SELECTED 

 yJr\ I O VARIETIES 



OF SUPREME QUALITY 



IMPORTANT. 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, chaffy and un- 

 profitable. 



CLYDESDALE 



The Most Popular High-Grade White Oat 



Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deserv- 

 edly gained in popularity, until today it is the most popular High- 

 Grade White Oat in the United States. The ultimate financial 

 henefit accruing to the American farmers by the annual distribu- 

 tion of several thousand bushels of Clydesdale Oat cannot be 

 overestimated. These Oats weigh considerably more per measured 

 bushel than any other variety, 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. Another most im- 

 portant advantage of Clydesdale Oat to the farmer is the fact that 

 they have been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most im- 

 proved machinery, and are absolutely free from weed seeds. (Sec 

 illustration.) Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



Price, purchaser paying transportation charges, per peck, 75c; 

 per Standard bushel of 32 lbs.. $1.75; 10-bushel lots and up- 

 ward, per bushel, $1.70; 100-bushel lots, per bushel, $1.65. 



LONG'S WHITE TARTAR 



Vigorous Constitution Immense Yielder Very Early 



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 10J4 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 ot 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 producing give 

 Long's White Tartar all the necessary qualifications which go to 

 make an ideal Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre. (See illustration.) 



Price, peck. 80c; bushel of 32 lbs., $2.25; 10-bushel lots, per
