STOKES* SEED OATS 



Your Oats ^vill grow lighter each year unless you change your seed 

 every two years at least. A standard bushel of Oats should weigh 

 thirty-two to thirty-six pounds. If it weighs only twenty-four or 

 twenty-eight pounds, it has from twelve and one-half to twenty-five 

 per cent less feeding value, w-hich means that you must feed your 

 horse another quart to avoid cheating him. Send to me for seed, 

 not only to get a change, but to get extra-good varieties, clean seed 

 and grain that weighs up to forty pounds a bushel. 



IMPORTED WHITE ELDORADO 



A variety of white Oats of extraordinary weight and productive- 

 ness. Weighs naturally fifty pounds per measured bushel, and it 

 deteriorates only three or four pounds each year when grown here. 

 Worth for seed purposes at least double the market value of ordinary 

 Oats. Not onh- is it handsome and heavy, but it is thoroughly cleaned 

 by the latest and most improved machiner\% and is absolutely free 

 from foreign and weed seeds. 2-oz. pkt. lo cts., lb. 25 cts., postpaid; 

 by express, 10 lbs. Si. 25, 50 lbs. S4.50, 100 lbs. (the quantity required 

 for an acre) $8.50. 



IMPORTED BLACK ELDORADO 



Black Oats are used verj- largely in England, Scotland and Sweden, 

 the great Oats countries of the world, and I offer a very handsome 

 sample. This variety makes a very strong, stiff straw; stools out 

 largely, is an abundant yielder and is handsome in every way. 

 Price the same as for Imported White Eldorado.
