New Bumper Crop Oats 
A new oat of great merits, producing its crop early in the season. 
The large, heavy, white grains are produced on long, stiff stems. The 
heads are very long and cluster more than the Swedish though not a 
side oat. The straw grows to a good height, stiff and straight, rather 
large and often bearing large, heavy grains weighing 40 pounds to the 
measured bushel. The best yields are grown on heavy soil. The orig- 
inator of this wonderful new Bumper Crop Oat has this to say: ‘This 
white branch oat took first prize at the New York State Fair and 
wherever shown. The single plant from which this stock originated in 
1906 showed large heads and enormous grain. A grower who tested 
these oats in Monroe Co., New York, says these are the best oats we 
have ever seen in this county. We believe that it is the best oat ever 
grown in this state.” 
This oat can be grown on rich lands and will stand up straight and 
stiff where other kinds would go down before half ripened. This grower 
has been growing for seed, such varieties as Improved Swedish, White 
Tartar, Improved American, Golden Fleece and other well known sorts. 
But considers Bumper Crop far superior to any other variety offered. 
Packet, 10 cents; pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, postpaid. 
By express or freight, not prepaid; peck, 60 cents; bushel of 32 
pounds, $2.00; 2 bushels, $3.75; 10 bushels, $17.50. 
Long’s White Tartar Oats 
In the greatest oats section of Western New York, this white side oat 
ereated considerable excitement. This improved strain of oats was 
originally obtained by selecting the largest and most vigorous plants 
from an extra good stock of Improved White Tartar; by continuing 
this selection for a number of years, Mr. Long so improved the variety 
in vigor and productiveness, that it earned the right to be properly 
ealled Long’s White Tartar Oats. These oats have immense heads of 
grain, often measuring a foot long, and always well filled; the straw is uy! 
very large, strong and stiff, and less liable to lodge than any other WW Wahl 
variety. The seed is large, plump and heavy, pure white and with thin if Hay a i 
hulls. Furthermore, they are earlier by several days than most other MN i \) My 
varieties. Long’s White Tartar will yield at least 15 bushels per acre hit 
more than most other varieties, and from 20 to 30 bushels more than 
common oats. Last year we got a yield of 91 bushels per acre on a 7-acre 
field, and 74 bushels per acre on a 26-acre field, the latter not yielding as 
well as the first on account of late sowing. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 
25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not 
prepaid, peck, 40 cts.; bushel of 32 lbs., $1.35; 10 bushels, $12.50. 
Improved Swedish Oats 
This grand oat is considered one of the heaviest yielders and one of 
the most profitable in the entire oat family. Experts in the United 
States Department of Agriculture, who thoroughly investigated this 
ea reliable sort, report it the best allaround oat out of 36 varieties tested, 
im \ { ranking first in weight, stiffness of straw and thin hulling qualities. The 
\ \ Stiff straw, which holds up unusually well considering the weight of the 
/ \ grain, grows from 4 to 5 feet tall with heads measuring from 8 to 11% 
LL inches long and produces grain weighing from 35 to 40 pounds to the 
LONG’S WHITE TARTAR OATS. measured bushel. Its heavy yield is shown by one report that from a 
2-acre field 227 bushels were harvested. Another report shows under 
rather unfavorable conditions a crop of 8144 bushels to the acre and that the crop 
was ready for harvest at least a week earlier than the common varieties. These 
sterling qualities combined with its freedom from rust stamp this white branch 
oat as one of the most profitable on the market today and we predict for it an 
unusually successful future. Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., 
postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 40 cents; bushel of 32 
pounds, $1.35; 10 bushels, $12.50. 
White Cluster Oats 
A Heavy Yielder 
This white oats, grown extensively in the State of Ohio, is claimed to be the best 
large, white grained, stiff straw, side oats grown to date.’ The straw is exceedingly 
tall, stiff and heavy, and produces enormous yields of pure white grains. Its great 
stooling habit makes it one of the best varieties for hay. The heads are long and 
of branching habit. Well filled with plump white kernels, which, when threshed, 
are very heavy. White Cluster does not lodge, on account of its strong, stiff straw, 
and large deep root growth; has given very general satisfaction. Often yields 100 
to 120 bushels or over per acre. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 
65 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, peck, 40 cents; 
bushel of 32 pounds, $1.35; 10 bushels, $12.50. 
Golden Fleece Oats 
Handsome and Prolific _ Over 100 Bushels Per Acre 
It originated in central New York, and has already been widely tested and 
approved. ‘The yield of Golden Fleece oats has reached 150 bushels of 32 pounds 
each per acre. 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. We believe that this branch oat, by 
reason of its unusual vigor, will prove distinctly profitable in many places where 
the oat crop has heretofore been a failure, or only a partial success. In all oat 
growing sections the Golden Fleece will prove to be a perfect treasure. 
Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., postpaid. By express or 
freight, not prepaid, peck, 40 cts.; bushel of 32 lbs., $1.35; 10 bus., $12.50. 
Virginia Gray Winter Oats 
Also known as Winter Turf Oats. This variety is especially valuable for fall 
seeding. It is the best and hardiest of oats, standing the winter better than any 
other kinds. Ordinarily they yield from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, but under favor- 
- able condition we have reports of yields of over a hundred bushels per acre. They 
are considered altogether the best and surest cropping oats for fall seeding. The 
grain is of a dark, gray color, with a distinct stripe, heavier than the ordinary oat, 
and weighs 35 to 40 pounds to the measured bushel. When sown early they make 
a good growth before winter sets in, and furnish excellent grazing during the late 
fall, winter and early spring, without injury to the grain crops afterward. The 
turfing and stooling qualities of these oats is remarkable, and under anything like 
favorable conditions they soon spread and cover the the ground with a thick, 
Z heavy growth. The best time to sow winter oats is In September or early October. 
Y They should be sown at the rate of 144to2 bushels per acre. Packet, 10 cents; 
Vt Za pound, 25 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not
