[ENRY W, KTJHN, Mt. Storm, Grant Co., W Va., writes: The Riissian White Oa<» are far better 

 any other kind in this part of the country. My oats weighed 4i bs. to the measured bu. lam 

 y pleasea with them, and shall sow all I have next spring. 



.. S. KISSLTNG, Lower Heidelburg, Burks Co., Pa., writes: I bought one pound of Russian White 

 from you this spring, and t liat pound produced 1 bu., and T know that if we had more favorable 

 aer they would have produced 3 bu. They grew to a height of over 5 ft., had heads 15 to 5;^ in. 

 and some of these heads contained 200 kernels. 



:. N. MERRTTT, Pactola, Pennington Co., Dak., writes: I sowed 3 lbs. and threshed out 200 lbs. 

 are not troubled with rust, and are very hardy. They arc very prolific, one head having yielded 

 •ains. 



, W. BURKE. Boonerille, Logan Co., Ark., writes: I ordered 3 lbs. of your Riissian White Oats, 

 rhen the package arrived, it had been broken and there was only about one gill left; I planted 

 owever, and was surprised to find that this small quantity ha 1 yielded me over X bushel. These 

 ire very strong and hard;/, and are perfectly /ree/rom rust. In my estimation, they are very de- 

 ■e for our southern climate. 



r. N. H. DAWSON', of Consville, Henry Co., Mo., thinks that the Russian White Oats come up to 

 at is claimed for them: he lurthersays: My oats were sown the Mb tf May, and ripened sooner 

 common white oats sown 30 days before. They are very hardy, entirely free fi-om rust, and very 

 Ic ; I planted only 3 pounds and harvested over 6 bushels. 



R. PERRY, Hadley's ^Tllls, Chatham Co., Pa„ writes as follows: I.^iowed 8 ounces and realized 

 2fiO oiin e.s- ; I did not snv, them until the -ZOih of IMar<-h, and if they had not had such a diy season, 

 i certainly have yielded /lue times as much as they did, 



DSIAH BOWEV, of Dighton, Bristol Co., Mass., sowed one pound of Russian White Oafs, and 

 isted over 200 pounds; he says that under ordinary cultivation they will yield over 100 bushels to 



yre. 



E. EWTNG, Lake View, Norhoe Co., Nev., writes: There is nothing in the oat line that will in 

 i^ay compare with the Russian White. This variety is very prolific, Mf^dy, and rust proof, three 

 s that are absolutely essential to good oats, as a proof of their prolificness, I wish to say that 

 3 pounds of seed sown, I realized over 116 pounds.
