Reports from practical farmers show that the yield of the Lincoln is quite heavy, running to 100 bushel 

 or over. Many growers favor it because its heavy grain and thin hull render it almost unsurpassed for feed- 

 ing purposes and for the manufacture of oatmeal. It stands up exceptionally well, is rust-proof, and has 

 given practically perfect satisfaction. Prices, postpaid, J lb. 15c.; lb. 25c. By express or freight, not prepaid,

DIG FODR 



Well Known Favorite Variety — Straw Strong and Stiff — Oats White and Rustless. 



Introduced a few years sin.e from Minnesota. It is very productive, having in all instances yielded more 

 to the acre than any other sort grown in the same locality; in one case it yielded 174 bushels from a single 

 bushel of seed. It is very early, and has thus far proved itself rust-proof. It stands up better than any other 

 sort; it is best for seeding on account of its thin hull, he&vy meat and soft nib. It is the best for oatmeal and 

 grinding for the same reason. Prices, postpaid, i lb 1 5c ; lb. 25c. By express or freight, not prepaid, J bu. 25c.

NEW APPLER WINTER TDRF OATS 



This is undoubtedly one of the best all round Oats for planting in the Fall as they afford a valuable pas- 

 ture the greater part of the W'inter and early Spring, thus reducing the quantity of other necessary food. 

 They may be harvested early enough in the Spring for other crops to follow. This variety spreads and stools 

 out enormously, especially when grazed, and if stock be taken off by March will yield a large crop of grain.

TENNESSEE OR VIRGINIA GRAY WINTER OATS 



This splendid variety has proven immen.?ely popular and satisfactory wlierever it has been grown. When 

 sown early and the roots thoroughly established in the soil, it is as hardy as Wheat, and will stand as much cold 

 as that crop. Its stooling propensities are remarkable and on good soil, yields from fifty to seventy bushels per 

 acre. The grain is of a dark gray color with a distinct stripe and weighs heavier than the ordinary Oaf. While 

 it is better to sow this variety in August and September it is frequently seeded as late as the middle of Novem-
