Two Profitable Oats 
Handsome and Prolific 
Golden Fleece Oats. Over 100 Bushels Per Acre 
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 bushels of 82 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 grand 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. Packet, 10 cts.; 
pound, 25 cts.; 3 pounds, 65 cts., by mail, postpaid. By express or freight, not pre=- 
paid, peck, 50 cts.; bushel of 32 pounds, $1.50; 10 bushels, $13.50. 
M ortgage 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 is 
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., 65c.,

GOLDEN FLEECE OATS, 
Dwarf Gssex Rape 
This is the best autumn sheep forage known, and is also used for pigs 
and dairy cows with success and profit. Under favorable circumstances 
it is ready for pasturage in six weeks from the time of Sowing. One acre 
of good rape will carry a flock of a dozen sheep for two months. Rapeis 
a plant of the cabbage family, requiring the same cultural treatment as 
the turnip. It is grown exclusively for its leaves. Stock should be fed 
alternately on grass and rape; notonrapeexclusively. Rape-fed animals 
Should have free access to salt. The seed should be sown in May, for 
midsummer pasturage; or any time before the end of August (at the 
North) for autumn pasturage. In the Southern States the best sowing 
time is September or October. Rape isa plant which loves cool weather, 
and thrives better in autumn than in midsummer. The seed should be 
used at the rate of 8 pounds per acre in drills, or 5 pounds per acre broad- 
cast. Rape is an excellent green manure for plowing down. 
Packet, 10 cts.; pound, 25 cts.; 5 pounds, $1.00, postpaid.
