Hendekson's Imported Clydesdale Oats. 



A Variety of White Oats of Extraordinary Weight, 



Earliness and Productiveness, 



the Natural Weight of Which is 50 Pounds to the Bushel. 



Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly gained 

 in popularity, until today it is the most popular High-Grade White Oat in the 

 United States. The climate of America is unsuited to the production and 

 maintenance of the highest grade of oats, and unless a heavy imported (British) 

 oat be used for seed purposes at least every second or third year, they become 

 light, "chaffy," inferior in quality and unprofitable. The ultimate financial 

 benefit accruing to the American farmers by the annual distribution of several 

 thousand bushels of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats cannot be overestimated. 

 These oats weigh naturally 50 lbs. per measured bushel, and they deteriorate in 

 weight only from three to four lbs. each year they are grown here, so that the 

 produce is worth for seed purposes at least double the market value of or- 

 dinary oats. No other oat can show such a record — 75 to 100 bushels per acre, 

 and double the usual quantity of straw. We offer these oats for sale at the 

 weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, exactly as grown for us in Britain, so that those 

 purchasing will actually receive for every bushel over one and one-half bushels 

 according to the American standard, which reduces the price of "The Clydes- 

 dale" to $1.47 per standard bushel of 32 lbs. Another most important ad- 

 vantage of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats to the farmer is the fact that they 

 have been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and most improved machinery 

 and are absolutely free from foreign and weed seeds. Price, (imported) 

 75c. per peck; S2.50 per bushel (of 50 lbs.). Or we will supply 3 

 bushels (150 lbs.), the quantity to seed an acre, for S7.30. 10-bushel 

 lots, S2.40 per bushel; 100-bushel lots, S2.30 per bushel (of 50 lbs.). 



" Last spring I bought J,\ bushels of your imported Clydesdale oats 

 and raised 103 measured bushels from them." 



A. W. LAWSON. Jr., Spencer. N. Y. 

 " The 1 bushel of Clydesdale oats I bought of you threshed the heaviest 

 crop of as fine oats as I ever saw. They weighed 60 pounds to the 

 bushel." WM. HENSTICK, McMinnville. Oregon. 



" Your Clydesdale oats arc acknowledged by farmers here to be the 

 best oats they have ever seen. " 



J. J. KEATOR, Manager, Fairview Farms, 

 North Bennington, Vt. 



Genuine ONLY When Direct From Us. 



In tlie "Ohio Farmer," Mr. J. T. Hickman, of tlie Ohio Agricultural Experi- 

 ment 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 re- 

 sults obtained from Henderson's Clydesdale. 



" My Clydesdales were tlie grandest oats I have seen in all my life." 



JAMES WILLIS, Farrington, Va. 



" Tlie Imported Clydesdale oats I bought of you are incomparably good. Such 

 vigorous growing oats I never saw." W. W. NEWSON, Ft. Wor^h, Tex. 



Loncs White Tartar Oats. 



IDEAL OAT FOR THE AMERICAN FARMER 



The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Oat in cultivation. It 

 is suitable for all soils; of robust and vigorous constitution, is remarkably early 

 and an immense cropper; the straw is long and stout, stands up well and does 

 not readily lodge or twist. The heads measure from 8 to W l /2 inches, and the 

 kernels are of immense size, thick, plump and heavy, and is undoubtedly the 

 heaviest cropping domestic white oat ever offered. 



Its extreme earliness, great length and strength of straw, thick, plump grains 

 and the heavy yields it is capable of producing give Long's White Tartar all 

 the necessary qualifications which go to make an ideal oat. (See cut.) Price, 

 50c. pk., $1.60 bush, of 32 lbs.; 10-bush. lots, $1.55 per bush.; 100-bush. lots, 

 $1.50 per bush. 



What Farmers think of Long's White Tartar Oats: 



" / send you herewith a sample of Long's White Tartar Oats — resulting from 

 tlie seed I purchased from you this spring. I planted about 45 acres and threshed 

 out over 2,000 bushels. All tlie farmers in my vicinity say it was the finest crop of 

 oats ever raised in Dutchess County." 



MAURICE M. MINTON, Brinkerhoff, N. Y. 



" Long's White Tartar Oats I got from you this spring were something grand." 

 CEO. AKERS, Westbury Station, L. I., N. Y. 



" It gives me pleasure to say that the men who have worked in the oats (Long's 

 Tartar) raised from tlie seed I bought of you last year — both those who harvested 

 them and those who threshed tliem — say they are the best oats they ever saw. A very 

 large yield and exceptionally lu^avy and the straw is good too. They are considered 

 remarkable around here." F. WHITTLESEY, Canaan, Conn.
