RUSSIAN WHITE OATS. 



This new variety of oats has already been tested in 

 nearly all portions of the country, from Maine to Califor- 

 nia, and the reports from almost all the States of tha Union 

 are unanimous in its commendation as the heaviest yielder 

 in cultivation. One hundred and fifty-seven pounds of clean 

 oats were harvested from a single ownce of seed last season. 

 In nine tenths of the reports the yield exceeded 500 fold 

 increase. 



The Eussian White Oats are prolific without parallel, 

 and with ordinary cultivation will yield 100 bushels per 

 acre. They are extremely hardy, enduring the coldest 

 climate in our country without injury, and are absolutely 

 rust proof. Each kernel planted will produce twenty-five 

 to forty heads from sixteen to twenty-two inches in len<h. 

 The straw is large and strong enough to support the enor- 

 mous heads of this variety. The grain is heavy and the 

 jhaff light, so that a measured bushel weighs considerably 

 more than a bushel of ordinary oats. All things considered, 

 this is the most valuable variety of oats now grown, and 

 is destined, when known more widely, to become the stand- 

 ard sort.
