CHOICE 



Seed Oats. 



SELECTED 



IMPORTANT.— A change of Seed Oats is even 

 more necessary than a change of Seed Potatoes, and 

 they should he renewed at least every second or third 

 year. At the low prices at which we offer below 

 choice re-cleaned 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. In each instance we 

 state where our stock has been grown to enable our 

 customers to select a complete change. 



* HENDERSON'S CLYDESDALE. {Imported.)— 



Without a doubt the grandest White Oat in cultivation, weigh- 

 ing 50 lbs. to the bushel ; very early and productive. We offer 

 these oats for sale at the weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, ex- 

 actly as grown for us, so that those purchasing will actually 

 receive for every bushel over one and one-half bushels 

 according to the American standard, $1.00 peck, $2.50 

 bushel of 50 lbs., 3 bushels for $7.00, 10 bushels 

 and upward, $2.25 per bushel; 100 bushels and up- 

 ward, $2.15 per bushel. 



CLYDESDALE, AMERICAN-GROWN. [Grown 



in Northern New York State.) — The imported Henderson's 

 Clydesdale Oats (offered above), of which we annually dis- 

 tribute such large quantities, have for years been universally 

 admitted to be the highest grade of White Oats in 

 existence. 



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 speci- 

 ally grown for us in the United States during the past year. 

 These we have thoroughly re-cleaned, 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 

 favorable circumstances 100 bushels per acre can reasonably be 

 expected. $1.20 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushel lots, $1.10 

 bushel; 100 bushels lots, $1.00 bushel (32 lbs.) 



LINCOLN. (Grown in Wisconsin.) — 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 

 variet}'. The grain is heavy, handsome, and thin skinned. 

 You cannot go wrong in sowing this variety. $1.00 bushel ; 

 10 bushels and upward, go cts. bushel; 100 bushels 

 and upward, 85 cts. bushel. 



PROBSTEIER. (Grown in Wisconsin.)— 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. 85c. bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and 

 upward, 80c. ; 100 bushels and upward, 75c. 



WHITE RUSSIAN. ( Grown in Michigan. )— Is some- 

 what coarse, but is mu:h appreciated for its rugged hardiness. 

 It stools freely, has strong stiff straw, heads large with plump 

 grain. A heavy cropper, go cts. bushel ; 10 bushels and 

 upward, 85 cts. bushel ; 100 bushels and upward, 

 80 cts. bushel. 



BLACK TARTARIAN. (Grown in Northern New 

 York State.) — 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; $1.00 bush. (32 lbs.) ; 10 bushels and upward, 

 go cts. bushel. 



WINTER OATS. We are now booking orders for de- 

 livery next fall for Winter Oats grown in New Jersey, which 

 are much hardier than those grown in Virginia and other 

 Southern 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. 40c. peck, 

 $1.15 bushel; 10 bushels and upward, $1.10 bushel. 



ALL OUR OATS ARE SPECIALLY GROWN FROM SELECTED 

 STOCK FOR SEED PURPOSES. 





CLYDESDALE OATS. 



All cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery, free from weed seeds and small imperfect grains.
