Seed Oats 



Continued 



SWEDISH SELECT OATS. Scientific 

 breeders of seeds in Sweden have devoted 

 themselves particularly to the improvement 

 of Oats, and many meritorious varieties have 

 originated in that country. Probably the 

 variety we offer, Swedish Select is the best 

 all around Oat among them as it thrives well 

 on all soils. It is a strong grower, a gTeat 

 drought resister and the grain is short, plump 

 and heavy. They are strongly recommended 

 by the United States Department of Agricul- 

 ture and all our customers should try them.

Price, 80c. peck; $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 

 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 bushel; 100 

 bushels and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



WHITE RUSSIAN OATS. Is a Side Oat 

 somewhat coarse, but is much appreciated 

 for its rugged hardiness. It stools freely, has 

 strong, stiff straw, heads large with plump 

 grain. A heavy cropper. 



Price, $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels 

 and upward, $2.65 bushel; 100 bushels and 

 upward, $2.50 bushel. 



EARLY NEWMARKET OATS. A grand new breed of English 

 pedigree Oats of wonderfully vigorous growth, producing very early 

 a heavy crop of unusually large, plump Oats, remarkable for their 

 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 the Early Newmarket Oat is unsurpassed. (See 

 engraving.) 



Price, $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 

 bushel; 100 bushels and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



PROBSTEIER OATS. A leading white variety. It is very produc- 

 tive 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. 



Price, $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and upward, $2.65 

 bushel; 100 bushels and upward, $2.50 bushel. 



BLACK TARTARIAN OATS. A Side Oat and 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- stra wed, 

 and bears a short, plump grain. 



Price, $3.00 bushel (32 lbs.) ; 10 bushels and upward, $2 90 

 bushel. 



WINTER or TURF 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 Spring 

 Oats. Sow in September, at the rate \ x /2 bushels per acre, and sow 

 deep. They will stand much more severe weather when planted 

 four inches deep than near the surface. 



Price, 80c. peck; $2.75 bushel (32 lbs.); 10 bushels and upward, 

 $2.65 bushel.
