N describing the Lincoln Oat, I cannot do better than quote as follows from the description of Ie 
the introducers: H 
‘““‘We have had many years experience in the growth of all the standard and newer varieties | 
of Oats and we unhesitatingly pronounce the Lincoln Oat the best Oat now before the American 
‘people. To give some idea of their unusual productiveness, we have a report now before us from 
one of the largest farmers in Minnesota, who planted fifty bushels, who reports that the crop turned 
out one hundred bushels to the acre, and weighed 47.3-10 lbs. to the measured bushel: further that 
they would not sell a bushel at any price as they wished to put in the wholé crop next season. This 
shows the estimation in which the Lincoln Oat is held by those who have grownthem. This is the 
general verdict of one and all. While claiming it to be the most productive sort grown, we do 
state that it will yield over two hundred bushels to the acre. Such claims are unreasonable. Fa 
are what buyers want, and these facts we will present briefly as follows : ; 
First,—That the Lincoln Oat has produced one-third more than any other variety grown 
same localities. Second,—It is very early. Third,—It has thus far proven itself entirely rust-prooi 
Fourth,—It stands up better than any other sort. (No season could have afforded a better test in th 
particular than the one just passed.) Fifth.—It is best for feeding on account of its thitr ‘ 
meat and soft nib. Sixth,—It is best for oatmeal or grinding for the same reasons.” % 
The Lincoln Oats I offer my customers were grown for me in the Northwest dire 
original stock and by the introducers themselves, consequently it is strictly pure and a v 
sample. I take pleasure in offering it to my customers at the following very reasonable p
