INTER or TURF OATS are quite extensively grown 
in the Southern States, where they are in high favor. 
Sown in the fall they either afford excellent pasturage 
during the winter or give abundant yield the following season. 
The demand for oats of this character has been gradually 
extending northward, and to meet it we have been growing in 
Northern Pennsylvania, for several years, an acclimatized 
strain which is remarkably hardy and will stand the winter 
as far north as New Jersey. They areincomparably superior to 
the Winter or Turf Oats of Virginia; they stool out strongly, 
are earlier, more vigorous and less susceptible to rust; they \ 
“have stiff straw, stand up well, and are much more productive 
than Spring Oats. Sow in September, atthe rate of 1% bushels 
per acre, and sow deep. They will stand much more severe 
weather when planted four inches deep than near the surface. (See cz.)

SUPERIOR ... E . | , 
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. : 
Winter.—The variety most commonly cultivated. $1.50 bushel of 56 1lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 
Excelsior Winter.—A new variety from Vermont that has never failed to yield at the rate of 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With 
the originator, a four-acre field yielded 52 bushels to the acre. $1.75 bushel of 561bs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.65 bushel. 
Thousandfold.—Said to be the most productive Rye in cultivation. $1.75 bushel of 56 lbs. ; 10-bushel lots, $1.65 bushel. 
Giant Winter.—Unquestionably the heaviest cropping Rye in existence, having in fair tests outyielded all other varieties both 
in straw and grain. The heads average six to eight inches in length and are filled from end to end with large, plump, heavy 
grains. The straw is giant in length and strength and of extraordinary stiffness, resisting severe wind and rain storms to a 
remarkable degree without lodging. (See cut.) $2.00 bushel of 56 1lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.90 bushel.
