THREE PROFITABLE OATS. 
GOLDEN FLEECE OATS, "sw. Handsome ana Prolific 
This splendid new oats is the best thing offered for a long time; indeed, I think it is the best 
oats ever developed. It is a genuine agricultural trophy and prize winner. It originated in 
central New York, and has already been widely tested and approved. First offered in 1902, and 
it met everybody’s expectations fully. The yield of Golden Fleece oats has reached as much as 
4,752 pounds of cleaned seed per acre. This is 108 bushels of 44 pounds each, or nearly 150 bushe!s 
of 32 pounds each. The large white grains are plump and handsome. The straw is very strong, 
and stands up well. The blade is double the size of ordinary oats, which attests the vigor and 
productive capacity of the strain. Golden Fleece is remarkable for its great stooling capacity, 
and for this reason the seeding requirements are lighter than with most other sorts. I believe 
that this new oats, by reason of its unusual vigor, will prove distinctly profitable in many 
places where the oats crop has heretofore been a failure, or only a partial success. In all oats 
growing sections the Golden Fleece will prove to be a perfect treasure, not only in the way of 
heavy production but in point of quality. I therefore again recommend it to my customers in 
strong terms. I may add that this variety shows a marked disposition to produce three full 
kernels on each spikelet, thus adding enormously to the yield. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c¢.; 3 Ibs., 
65c., postpaid. By express or freight, pk., 60c.; bu. of 32 lbs., $2.00; 10 bus., $17.50. 
MORTGAGE LIFTER OATS. Just What Its Name Implies, 
I take satisfaction in the conspicuous and universal success of this highly profitable oats. No 
better name than Mortgage Lifter could have been selected for it, as it is a first-class cropper, 
early to mature, and of unusually heavy weight. The straw is strong and stiff, and is thus far 
free from rust. It is so strong and thrifty that neither freezing weather, protracted drought, 
heavy rain nor hot wind seems to have much effect upon its growth. It appears able to go 
right along from start to finish almost without regard to weather or conditions. Mortgage 
Lifter is as bright and white as a new silver dollar, with a hull as thin as a sheet of paper. 
“We have raised,” says the originator, “a hundred bushels to the acre.”’ A yield like this js 
uncommon, but yields of 60, 70 or 80 bushels can be obtained by any good farmer with careful 
culture. My opinion of Mortgage Lifter oats is very high. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.; 3 lbs.3 65¢., 
postpaid. By express or freight, pk., 60c.; bu. of 32 lbs., $2.00; 10 bus. $17.50. 
MOLD’S BLACK BEAUTY OATS. The Best of All Black Oats, 
Mold’s Black Beauty is undoubtedly the best of all the black oats. The head is long and well 
filled, and it is early. On account of its remarkable stooling propensities two bushels of seed 
per acre will prove ample. This oat has now had a trial of several years. It has won the 
praise of many farmers and threshers. who claim that it will yield double the crop of any ordi- 
pary white oats. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, postpaid. By 
express or freight, peck, 60 cents; bushel of 32 pounds, $2.00; 10 bushels, $17.50. 
WHITE HULLESS BARLEY, 
| Grows 2l, feet high. Heads well filled. Plump, 
heavy kernels, which are hulless like wheat 
when threshed. Ripens early and yields well. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 65 cts., post- 
paid. By express, pk., 60 cts.; bu., $2.25.

of good length and bright green color. Pkt., 
10 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 65 cts., postpaid. 
By ex. or freight, pk., 75 cts.; bu., $2.50. 
SPRING RYE. 
Used with profit as a catch crop where grain 
has winter killed. Quite commonly employed 
within recent years, and the demand is con- 
stantly increasing. Sow about 144 bushels to 
the acre. Pkt., 10c.; lb., 25c.; 3 Ibs., 65c., 
postpaid. Peck, 50 cts.; bushel, $1.75.

Saskatchewan Fife Spring Wheat, 
Widely recognized as the most desirable 
spring wheat in cultivation. It is not excelled 
for earliness, vigor and yield. I find a rapidly 
increasing call for spring wheat, as well as for 
spring rye. The Saskatchewan Fife is more 
demanded than any other sort. Sow 14 bushels 
per acre. Pkt., 10 cts.; Ib., 25 cts.; 3 Ibs., 
65 cts., postpaid. Pk., 75 cts.; bu., $2.50. 
SUNFLOWERS. 
Sunflower seed is one of the best egg produc- 
ing foods for poultry. It can be sown any time 
before the middle of July. Plant 3% to 4 feet 
apart each way. 4 quarts will sow an acre. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN. — Flowers 18 to 20 
Very showy, but mostly
