NEW WASHINGTON OATS 



The seed of this new white oat was 

 first procured from Professor Carlton, 

 of the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture, who pronounced them at the head 

 of the Oat kingdom. 



Prof. Moore, at experimental sta- 

 tion, says: "New, heaviest, thinnest 

 hull, stiffest straw, best of thirty-six va- 

 rieties ; weight, 36 to 40 lbs. measured 

 bushel." A small field of 2 acres 

 yielded 227 bushels. Our grower in 

 Ontario County, N. Y., says : " They 

 are the finest oats we have ever grown ; 

 straw 4 to 5 feet tall ; many heads 10 to 

 12 inches long (as shown in our photo- 

 graph alongside) ; they do not rust ; 

 stand up well ; the plump meats make 

 it the greatest of all oats. ' ' One of the 

 largest and most experienced oat grow- 

 ers in Chester County, Pa., says : "Its 

 wonderful productiveness is far beyond 

 what the most enthusiastic farmers in 

 this section ever expected to realize." 

 Another says: "Twenty bushels per 

 acre more than Welcome or Lincoln." 

 Another grower says : "The best oats 

 we have ever grown; about one week 

 earlier than others ; stand up well ; do 

 not rust; yield over 90 bushels per acre."

GOLDEN FLE.ECE, OATS 



This splendid oat was first introduced in 1901, and 

 hundreds of our customers have written us of its merits. It 

 is, without doubt, one of the heaviest croppers, with possibly 

 the exception of the New Washington, described above. 

 The grains are white, 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. On account of its heavy stooling 

 property, 6 pecks (1£ bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre. 



Price, per lb., 25c; 3 lbs., 60c, by mail, postpaid; by 

 freight or express, peck, 48c; legal bush. (32 lbs.), $1.40 ; 

 sack of 3 legal bush. (96 lbs.), $2.70; 10 bush, and over, 

 L.30 per bush., sacks included. 



TARTAR KING OATS 



This grand new and prolific white oats has been thor- 

 oughly tested in different sections and is highly spoken of. 

 It seems to be adapted to all soils, has a robust and vigorous 

 constitution, is quite early and an immense cropper ; straw 

 being long and stout, stands up well and does not readily 

 lodge. The kernels are of large size, thick, plump and heavy.
