New Breed of White Oats 



Garton No. 5 



THE CORN BELT OAT 



This New Variety was bred by the Garton Seec 

 Company, Expert Scientific Breeders and Seed 

 Specialists. For years there has been a call from 

 farmers for a Corn Belt Oats. Hundreds of farm- 

 ers had despaired of ever making money on oats, 

 for two seemingly reasons: Firstly, it was con- 

 tended that no oats on the market could stand 

 up good in corn or bottom land and fill out as it 

 ought to; secondly, oats were too susceptible to 

 rust, which means invariable loss of crop. 



Here we have an oat that is bred for this spec- 

 ial purpose and will be of untold value to farm- 

 ers in the Corn Belt. 



The Oats of the Twentieth Century, without 

 question the greatest triumph ever achieved by 

 plant breeding. 



This New Corn Belt Oat matures early enough 

 to escape Hot Winds and the Rust which follows, 

 wilts the grain; is three times the size of the six- 

 ty day type and is an enormous yielder. 



The straw is strong and can positively be de- 

 pended upon not to lodge even under most ex- 

 treme conditions, the quality of straw being such 

 as in itself makes remarkable good and nutritious 

 fodder. 



Look at the pedigree of this valuable New 

 Oats, bred from that money maker, "Regenerated 

 Swedish Select," crossed on "Garton's Senator," 

 and exceptionally strong-strawed oat which ma- 

 tures extremely early. 



It is certainly an ideal combination, as from 

 one of its parents, "Senator," we get extreme ear- 

 liness, practically immune from rust, and straw 

 of enormous strength, while the merits of its 

 other parent, "Regenerated Swedish Select," are 

 so well-known and universally acknowledged as a 

 great yielder and drought resister that it leaves 

 little more to be desired. 



Barton's No. 5 is without the shadow of doubt the earliest large-berried Oat ever intro- 

 duced. It ripens from 10 to 14 days earlier than Regenerated Swedish Select, is of the open 

 head or spangled type, a phenomenal yielder, having topped all records in trials against all 

 oats at present in the market. 



The grain is pure white and of wonderful quality, and extremely high in protein and oils, 

 husk is remarkably thin, making it a most valuable feeding oats and as a milling oat it has 

 positively no equal. 



Every farmer should get a supply of seed of this variety throughout the corn belt and 

 give it a trial and get into this seed of this valuable sort.
