Peter Henderson & Co., New York.— Seed Oats. 



CHOICE .• S^ED .- Q7XTS. 



BRITISH ( Imported) QATS. 



We offer the following standard British varieties : 

 HENDERSON'S CLYDESDALE. Without a doubt 

 the grandest White Oat in cultivation, weighing 60 lbs 

 to the bushel ; very early and productive. We offer these 

 oats for sale at the weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, 

 exactly as grown for us, so that those purchasing will 

 actually receive for every bushel over one and one- 

 naif bushels according to the American standard. 

 $1.00 peck, $2. SO bushel of 50 lbs., 3 bushels 

 for $7.00, lO bushels and upward, $2.25 per 

 bush. ; lOO bushels and upward, $2.15 per bush. 



In the "Ohio Farmer," Mr. J. T. Hickman, of the Ohio 

 Agricultural Experiment Station, states that samples of 

 Henderson's Clydesdale Oats and Clydesdale Oats procured 

 from other sources have shown, in a series of experiments, 

 in favor of Henderson's Clydesdale. He also states that the 

 average yield of Clydesdale Oats procured from other 

 sources was something like nine bushels per acre below the- 

 results obtained from Henderson's Clydesdale. 



The bushel of Clydesdale Oats purchased from you last 

 year exceeded my expectations. They were the finest- 

 looking half-acre of oats I ever saw, and attracted many 

 passers-by. The yield was 45 bushels in plump, heavy oats, 

 with common broad-east sowing, and no cultivation or 

 fertilizing. — Jas. F. Caul, Great Bend, Pa. 



St. John, N. B., October 21st, 1895. 



Gentlemen: — The Clydesdale Oats purchased from yon 



in April last — three bushels — turned out admirably. They 



were sown early in May and yielded a large percentage to 



quantity sown, and at our recent Provincial Exhibition, 



open to the world, I received First Premium on Clydesdale 



Oats entered for competition and grown from your seed. — 



Tours very truly, Arthttb C. Fatbweatheb. 



Black Tartarian, The most prolific and distinct 



variety of Black Oat grown. Its ear is carried all on one 



side ; it is very early, long and strong-strawed, and bears 



a short plump grain. 50c. peck, $1.25 bush. (32 lbs.> 



AMERICAN OATS. . . 



AMEEICAN-GEOWN CLYDESDALE. 



The imported Henderson's Clydesdale Oats (offered above), 

 of which we annually distribute such large quantities, have 

 for years been universally admitted to be the highest 

 grade of "White Oats in existence. 



In order to give Henderson's Clydesdale a still wider 

 distribution and make their value universally known, and 

 to enable us to offer them at a price within the reach 

 of every farmer, we have had several thousand bushels 

 specially grown for us in the United States during the past 

 year. These we have thoroughly recleaned, and are extra- 

 choice and heavy, free from all foul seeds and light and 

 imperfect grains. We are within the mark when we say 

 that these oats will yield under ordinary cultivation 70 to 

 80 bushels per acre, and under favorable circumstances 100 

 bushels per acre can reasonably be expected. ISee cut.} 

 $1.25 bushel (32 Ids.) ; lO bushel lots, $1.15 bushel; 

 50 bushel lots, $1.10 bushel; 100 bushel lots, 

 $1.00 bushel (32 lbs.) 



PROBESTIEB. A leading white variety. Itis very pro- 

 ductive and heavy, and straw very strong. It is of 

 Scandinavian origin, but well adapted to this climate ; 

 it ripens two or three days later than the common variety, 

 but yields much better. $1.00 bushel (32 1bs.);10 

 bushels and upward, 95c; 100 bushels and up- 

 ward, 90c. 



Bbattleboeo. Tt., August 14th, 1895. 

 Gentlemen : — I want to tell you of the success of the 

 PBOBESXIER OATS I got of yo'u for seed last spring. I 

 have about four and a half acres, and they have grown and 

 developed finely. They were reaped the other day, and if 

 they are well threshed", they say I shall have 300 bushels, 

 perhaps more — which is a great yield for this latitude. 



On account of the strength of the straw, they have lodged 

 very little. I will enclose a little notice of them given in 

 one local paper. I thought you would like to hear of my 

 success. Yours truly, C. S. Balestlee. 



WINTER OATS. 



AMERICAN-GROWN CLYDESDALE OATS. 



We are now booking orders for delivery next fall for 

 Winter Oats grown in New Jersey, which are much hardier 

 than those grown in Virginia and other Southern States, and 

 will stand the winter as far north as New York City. They 

 stool out strongly, are earlier and much more vigorous in 

 growth than any spring variety. Price on application. 



All cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery, free Irom weed seeds and small and imperfect grains.
