CHOICE 



SEED OATS. 



SELECTED 



All our Oats are specially grown from 

 selected stock for seed purposes. 



BRITISH {Imported) OATS. 



We offer the following standard British varieties : 



HENDERSON'S CI.YDESDALE. Without a doubt 

 the grandest White Oat in cultivation, -weighing 50 lbs. to 

 the bushel ; very early and productive. We offer these oats 

 for sale at the -weigflit of 50 lbs. per bustiel, ex- 

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

 receive for every bushel over one and one-tialf 

 bustiels according to the American standard. $x.oo 

 peck, $2.50 bushel of 50 lbs., 3 bushels for 

 ^7.00, 10 bushels and upward, $2.25 per 

 bush.; 100 bushels and upward, $2.15 per 

 bushel. 



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

 ment Station, states that samples of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats and Clydes- ' 

 dale Oats procured from other sources have shown, in a series of experiments, 

 in favor of Henderson's Clydesdale, fie also states that the average yield of 

 Clydesdale Oats procured fr6m other sources was sometliing like niue bushels 

 per acre below the results obtained from Henderson's Clydesdale. 



The bushel of Clydesdale Oats purchased from you last year exceeded my 

 expectations. They were the finest-looking half-acre of oats I ever saw, and 

 attracted many passers-by. The yield was 45 bushels in plump, heavy oats, 

 with common broadcast sowing, and bo cultivation or fertilizing. — Jas. F. 

 Carl, Great Bend, Pa. 



St. John, N. B., October 21st, 1895. 



Gentlemen : — The Clydesdale Oats purchased from you in April last— three 

 bushels — turned out admirably. They were sown early in May and yielded a 

 large percentage to quantity sown, and at our recent Provincial Exhibition, 

 open to the world, I received First Premium on Clydesdale Oats entered for 

 competition and grown from your seed. — Yours very truly, 



ABIHUB C, FiORWEATHEE. 



BlacU. Xartarian. 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. 50C. peck, $i«25 bush. (32 lbs.) 



AMERICAN OATS. 



AMERICAX-GRO^WX CI.VDESDALE. 



The imported Henderson's Clydesdale Oats (offered above), 

 of which we annually distribute such large quantities, have for 

 years been universally admitted to be the hig-hest g^rade 

 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 

 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 ordinai-y cultivation 70 to 80 bushels per acre, and under 

 favorable circum.stances 100 bushels per acre can reasonably be 

 expected. (Seecut.) $1.25 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushel 

 lots, $1.13 bushel; 50 bushel lots, $1.10 

 bushel ; 100 bushel lots, $x.oo bushel (32 lbs.) 



PROBESTIER. A leading white variety. It is very pro- 

 ductive and heavy, and straw very strong. It is of Scandi- 

 navian origin, but well adapted to this climate; it ripens 

 two or three days later than tlie common variety, but yields 

 much better, ^x.oo bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels 

 and up-ward, 95c.; 100 bushels and up- 

 ward, 90C. 



Brattleboeo, Vt., August 14th, 1S95. 



Gentleiten:— I want to tell you of the success of the PROBESTIER 0.\TS 

 I got of you for seed last spring. I have about four and a half acres, aud they 

 have grown and developed finely. They were reaped the other day, and if they 

 are well threshed, they say I shall have 300 bushels, perhaps more — which is a 

 great yield for this latitude. 



On account of the strength of the straw, they have lodged very little. I will 

 enclose a little notice of them given in one local paper. 1 thought you would 

 like to hear of my success. Yours truly, C. S. Balestier. 



WINTER OATS. 



AnERICAN=OROWN CLYDESDALE 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 Southern States, and will stand the 

 winter as far north as New York Citj-. They stool out strongly, 

 are earlier and much more vigorous in growth than any spring 

 variety. 50c. peck, $1.25 bushel ; 10 bushel lots, $1.15 bushel 



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