RUSSIAN WHITE OATS. 



WM. YOUNGBLOOD, Newton, Newton C^.. 

 Texas, says: These oats are well adapted to out 

 Soutbern climate. I sowed 1 pouno, which pro- 

 duced 5 bushels. They are absolutely free fri rn 

 rust, perfectly hardy, and are certainly the best 

 oats in the world. 



EZRA RASSLEY, Mt. Bethel Northampton Co., 

 Pa , writes a s follows : From the 3 pounds of seed 

 I planted I harvested over 122 pounds. I find they 

 vield three times as many as the common oats. 

 They are very hard}- entirely free from rust, and 

 produce sixty to eiylity bmfuls per O/.re. 



H. C. SCHMIDT, Jr., Brazoria, Brazoria Co., 

 Texa.s. writes: They are the best oats ever offered 

 to the public. At first I hadsome doubtas totheir 

 prolificness, but since 1 have tried them am con- 

 vinced that the Russian W, ite Oafs cannot be too 

 highly recommended. The kernels are well fi'led, 

 /lead-s 16 to 27 inch ex. They are veiy hardy, not 

 troubled with rust, and grow to a height of 'from 

 ^Vztobyzjeet. 



S. R. PEF.RY, Hadley's Mills. Chatham Co., N. 

 C, writes: 1 sowed only 8 ounces, from which I 

 harvested 200 ounces. They are tlic best oats I 

 ever saw, and will take pleasure in recommending 

 them to all. 



W. PALMER, Marshfield, Coos County. Oregon, 

 sowed 1 pound which produced 90 pounds. He 

 says: " I have traveled tlie world over anil have 

 never seen oats that have so many good qualities." 



H. M. PlvnTH, Monson, Hampden Co., Mass., 

 writes: The Ru^t^ian IFMf^ <?a^<^ are without doubt 

 the best oats in cultivation; they are very hardy, 

 perfectly j^ree from ru-^t, and uuder ordinary ctil- 

 tivation will yield 75 tncsheL-n per acre. 



J. N. ESTRIDGE, Gum, Lancaster Co.. S. C, 

 writes as follows: I was well pleased with the 

 Russian White Oats. Their great prolificness is a 

 wonder to all. They will yield 150 b"shels per acre. 

 They stand the drougiic well and throuji-h our 

 severe dry season have grown and headed weU, 

 while other vai ieties were an entire failure. 



GEORGE BURWAGER, Stonersville. Carroll 

 Co., Md., writes : These oats are superior to all 

 others. I planted them on poorer ground than I 

 did the common sorts and their yield Avas three 

 times asgieat. They averaged from lOto 40 heads 

 to each ker el. when thinly planted, and weigh 45 

 lbs. to the measured bu-shtl. 



L. G. DAVIS, Lander, Sweetwater Co., Wyo., 

 sowed 6 lbs. and harvt->t -d 48 ) lbs. They are 'not 

 troubled with rust, are i.erfecthj hnrrly, and yields 

 three or four times as much as ordinary varieiite. 



L. A. ANDERFUHREN, Tannery, Carrol] Co.. 

 Md„ says: One peck produced 7>a bushels. Tiiey 

 were ' hsolutely rust proof. Th'^y are the heaviest 

 and largest oats I ever saw, and I would reLom- 

 mend them to all, especially farmers. 



T. SOXJT.SBY. Soulbyville, Tuolumne Co., CaL, 

 writes: The Russ an i' ie Oids a e superior to 

 any variety y t intrrduced; are rer^i h rdy,free 

 rrom rust, and with the same cu'tivarion v ill pay 

 the fanner twice as much as any other var.ety. 



AAROX H MASON, Kezar Falls, York Co., Me., 

 writes: Five bushels were produced from the 3 lbs. 

 sown. The oats I had of you I put on rather or- 

 dinary ground to test them. They outdone my 

 verv highest expecrations. The stalks are thicker 

 and larger than those of other varieties, the / eads 

 18 inches long, and all well filler). In myestimatioa 

 theyaie "the oats' for the farmers to grow. 



R SHIELDS, IT oily. Oakland Co.. Mich., sowed 

 3 lbs. and harvested 2 bushels and 2-f il.s. The 

 stalks are 5 inches higher than common oats and 

 very much thicker. They are wonderfully pro- 

 lific, 2 grains having produced 18 staVu or 1076
