SHE* WINTER OATS. 



WINTER 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 are incomparably 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 Sprir.g Oats. Sow in September, at the rate of \Yz bushels 

 per acre, and sow deep. They will stand much more severe 

 weather when planted four inches deep than near the surface. (See 

 40c. peck, SI. 25 bushel of 32 lbs. ; 10-bushel lots and upwards, 

 bushel.

Rye. 



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. SI. 25 bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.15 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. SI. 50 bushel of 56 lbs. ; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 



Thousandfold. — Said to be the most productive Rye in cultivation. SI. 50 bushel of 56 lbs. ; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 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.) $1.75 bushel of 56 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $1.60 bushel.
