Long’s White Tartar Oats 
In the greatest oats section of Western New York, these oats have created considerable 
excitement for the last few years, and last season, where they could get the seed, it was 
purchased by farmers to the exclusion of all other varieties. 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 called Long’s White Tartar Oats. These oats have immense heads of grain, 
often measuring a foot long, and always well filled; the straw is very large, strong and 
stiff, and less liable to lodge than any other variety. The seed is large, plump and heavy, 
pure white and with thin hulls. Furthermore, they are earlier by several days than any 
other variety. From my experience with it the past sea- 
son, [ am convinced that White Tartar will yield at least 
15 bushels per acre more than any other variety, and from 
20 to 80 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. There is 
‘pound to be an enormous demand for this variety this 
= season, and while I have quite a large quantity in store, 
I have no doubt I shall be sold out before the season is 
over, hence, would advise early orders from all my cus- 
tomers desiring these oats in quantity.

New White Plume Oats 
Originated in Western New York From Selected Heads Froma 
Field of White Tartar 
A new variety of oats furnished me by Mr. G. W. Ketchum @ 
prominent oat grower in Western New York. He has this to say: 
“T have grown several varieties of oats for many years, but I con- 
sider ‘New White Plume’ the best white side oat I have ever 
raised.” This new oat produces very large heads of heavy white 
grains, is a heavy cropper, and matures very early in the season. 
This season one field, from which our seed oats of White Plume 
was harvested, averaged 82 bushels to the acre, weighing almost 
40 pounds to a measured bushel. The tall stiff straw produces 
large, plump, thick berries with a thin shuck, is a vigorous grower 
unusually heavy in weight, and the best of yielders. White Plume 
does not lodge, and is free from smut. As this is its first season, 
I have only a few hundred bushels of this oat to offer, so advise 
i ‘ sending in your order as early as possible.
