EARLY BLACK PROLIFIC 



Heaviest Cropping Variety of Black Oats 



Tests made by many progressive farmers convince them that these 

 Black Oats are more reliable croppers than white Oats. At all events, 

 they will stand a lot of hardship and exposure, yet, still make a good 

 crop. They are very early. The grain is short and plump, and of the 

 very best quality. Another characteristic that will recommend it is 

 that, as far as my observations and investigations go. Early Black Pro- 

 lific Oats are rust proof. Many growers say they are practically drouth 

 proof. The straw is stiff, the heads are long, and the grain yield is heavy, 

 running from 35 to 45 pounds per measured bushel.

BUCKBEE'S RED SAMSON 



Bust-Proof. Strong Strawed. Heavy Yielding 



Very popular throughout the South, particularly on the light sandy 

 soils of tne coast region. Also greatly preferred for low grounds or other 

 locations where other varieties of Oarts are inclined to rust. Favorable 

 sowing time in the Southern section is from September on through March, 

 though the bulk of the sowing is done from October to February. Buck- 

 bee's Red Samson makes a large yield of fine, heavy grain, and is beyond 

 question at the top notch in its class.

Buckbee's 

 ILLINOIS 



The Astonishing Agricultural Intro- 

 duction of this Generation. Opened a 

 New Era of Profitable Oat Growing 

 Throughout the Entire Country. In- 

 trodu ed and Became Famous Solely 

 on Merit. 



This great Oat is the result of successful 

 selection and hybridizing. Bred for sowing 

 on the rich soils o the Prairie States. So that 

 there would be strong straw to carry the 

 heavy grain. Everyone knows how much 

 that means. Its great points: 

 Type WeU Fixed. 

 Grain Large and Weighty. 

 Straw Very Heavy and of Good Length. 

 Extremely Early. 

 Panicles Large and Open. 

 The noted agriculturist, J. H. Beagley, of 

 Champaign County, 111., an undisputed au- 

 thority, says: "Your new Oat, 'IlUnois,' 

 yielded more the past season than the Lincoln 

 and other well-known varieties." It is an 

 ideal sort for any soil; will positively not lodge, 

 nor rust, and nothing short of a cyclone will 

 get it down. My trials show yields of over 

 100 bushels to the acre, with not a single favor- 

 able season. My seed stock weighs over 40 

 lbs, per struck bushel.

THE LINCOLN 



stands WeU. Eust-Proof. Heavy Tlelder 



Reports from practical farmers show that the yield of the Lincoln 

 is quite heavy, running to 100 bushels or over. Many groavers favor it 

 because its heavy grain and thin hull render it almost unsurpassed for 

 feeding purposes and for the manufacture of oatmeal. It stands up ex- 

 ceptionally well, is rust-proof, and has given practically perfect satis- 

 faction. _ , ■ . ^ ^. ^ ,

EARLY CHAMPION 



• Matures Ahead of Many Others 



This most excellent variety has comparatively short straw, anu 

 matures a week or ten days earUer than other kinds, thus largely escap- 

 ing the UabiHty to rust. As a nurse crop to sow with grass seed it has 

 an immense value, as it does not stove as freely as some other sorts.
