8 HENDERSON’S FARMERS MANUAL HI 
OATS | 
PEDIGREE OATS — A change of Seed Oats is necessar i) 
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 and 
unprofitable. 
HENDERSON’S CLYDESDALE OATS 
Since we introduced this grand variety it has steadily and | 
deservedly gained in popularity, until today it is the most 
popular HIGH-GRADE WHITE OAT in the United States. 
The ultimate financial benefit accruing to the American farmers 
by the annual distribution of several thousand bushels of these 
oats cannot be over-estimated. These Oats weigh considerably 
more per measured bushel that any other variety, so that the 
produce is worth for seed purposes at least double the market 
value of ordinary Oats. None other can show such a record- 
75 to 100 bushels per acre, and double the usual quantity of 
straw. 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 weed seeds. (See illustration.)

LONG’S WHITE TARTAR OATS 
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 10% 
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 of 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 pro- 
ducing give Long’s White Tartar all the necessary qualifications 
which go to make an ideal Oat. Sow. 3 bushels per acre.

STORM KING 
We have pleasure recommending this true White Tartarian or Side Oat. It is 
a heavy cropper; the grain is short, plump, thin skinned and of the highest feeding 
value. The straw as its name implies is very strong and stiff, enabling it to 
resist the severest weather. We advise every grower of Oats to try 
this variety. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 
Price, purchaser paying transportation charges, peck, 90c.; bushel (32 
lbs.) $2.50; 10 bushel lots $2.40 per bushel; 100 bushel lots $2.30 per 
bushel. 
SWEDISH SELECT 
Scientific breeders of seeds in Sweden have devoted themselves par- 
ticularly to the improvement of Oats, and many meritorious varieties 
have originated in that country. Probably SWEDISH SELEOT, the 
variety we offer, is the best Oat among them as it thrives well on all 
soils. “It is a strong grower, a great drought resister and the grain 
is short, plump and heavy. It is strongly recommended by the United 
States Department of Agriculture. (See engraving.) Price, purchaser 
paying transportation charges, peck, 75c.; bushel (32 Ibs.) $2.00; 
10 bushel lots, per bushel, $1.90; 100 bushel lots per bushel, $1.80. 
EARLY NEWMARKET 
A grand breed of English pedigree Oats of wonderfully vigorous 
growth, producing very early a heavy crop of unusually large, plump 
Oats, remarkable for this thinness of husk, which greatly adds to their 
feeding value. The straw is tall and strong, withstanding unfavorable 
weather well, and is practically immune from rust. For quality, 
earliness, vitality, and productiveness this Oat is unsurpassed. Sow 
3 bushels per acre. 
Price, purchaser paying transportation charges, 75c. per peck; 
$2.00 per bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushel lots at $1.90 per bushel;
