HENDERSON'S IMPORTED 



Clydesdale Oats 



THE MOST POPULAK HIGH-GRADE 

 WHITE OAT IN THE UNITED STATES 



Early and Productive — Free from Disease — Does 



not Shell Out in Handling — And Weighs 



50 Pounds to the Measured Bushel 



Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly 

 gained in popularity, until to-day 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 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 Amer- 

 ican 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 ordinary Oats. No other Oat can show such a record — 75 to 

 100 bushels per acre, and double the usual quantity of straw. Another 

 most important advantage 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 weed seeds. 

 Sow 3 bushels per acre. (.See cut.)

GENUINE ONLY DIRECT FKOM HENDEKSON'S 



In the "Ohio Partner," Mr. J. T. Hickman, of t lie Ohio Agricultural 

 Experiment 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 some- 

 thing like nine bushels per acre below the results obtained from Henderson's 

 Clydesdale. 



"Last spring I sowed 100 pounds of your celebrated Clydesdale Oats on 

 1%, acres of ground and have just thrashed 170 bushels of the finest oats 

 ever seen in this part of the country. I write you this statement to acknowl- 

 edge the great benefit you have bestowed cm the grain-growing sections of 

 our country by furnishing such seed." 



ROBERT WOLF, Canvas Prairie, I. J. 



"Strong points in favor of your Clydesdale Oats are their resistance to 

 disease, they do not shatter or shell out in the field while handling 

 and their percentage of hull is below the average." 



FR.ANK A. SPRAGG, East Lansing, Mich. 



"I had a fine crop of your Imported Clydesdale Oats this year. They 

 stood 6 feet, 6 inches high, and in many places higher. They headed out 

 nicely. I thrashed 10 acres of them and had 331 bushels of as fine 

 quality oats as I have seen in the country." 



JOHN WILSON, Walpole, Mass. 



Long's White Tartar Oats 



THE IDEAL SIDE OAT FOR THE AMERICAN FARMER 



The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Side 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 lOJ-2 inches, 

 and the kernels are of immense size, thick, plump and heavy, it is undoubt- 

 edly 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 canable of producing give Long's White Tartar all the 

 necessary qualifications which go to make an ideal Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre- 



PRICE, Long's White Tartar Oats, per peck $0.50 



Per Standard bushel of 32 lbs 1.50 



10-bushel lots and upward, per bushel 1.45 



100-bushel lots, per bushel 1.40 



"/ want to say a word in regard to the Long's White Tartar Oats I bought from 

 you. I do not think a field of oats in Bucks County equals mine. They are just 

 grand and I am well pleased." C. F. SCHWENKE, Perkasie, Pa. 



"About five years ago I began sowing the famous Long's Tartar Oats and ever 

 since then I have averaged a crop yield ranging from 50 to 70 bushels per acre, 

 weighing from the machine 36 to 38 lbs. per bushel; as compared with my neighbors 

 who have been persistent in sowing other varieties, my yield has been double iri 

 comparison with theirs." J. A. KUNKEL, Pennington, N. J. 



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

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

 them and those who threshed them — say they are the best oats they ever saw. .4 very 

 large yield and exceptionally heavy — and the straw is good too. They are considered 

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



Imported Storm King Oats 



We have pleasure recommending this true White Tartarian or Side Oat. It 

 is a heavy cropper; the grain is short, plump, thin skinned and of the highest 

 feeding value. The straw as its name implies is very strong and stiff enabling 

 it to resist the severest weather. The average weight of the grain per measured 

 bushel is 48 lbs. For several years we have distributed a limited quantity of 

 Storm King Oats which has proven highly satisfactory. The repeated successful 

 trials warrant us cataloging and recommending it. We advise every grower 

 of Oats to try this variety. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



PRICE, Imported Storm King Oats, per peck $0.65 



Per Standard bushel of 32 lbs 2.00 



10-bushel lots and upward, per bushel 1.95 



100-bushel lots, per bushel 1.90 



Early Newmarket Oats 



A grand new breed of English pedigree Oats of wonderfully vigorous growth, 

 producing very early a heavy crop of unusually large, plump Oats, remarkable 

 for their thinness of husk, which greatly adds to their feeding value. The 

 straw is tall and strong, withstanding unfavorable weather well, and is practi- 

 cally immune from rust. For quality, earliness, vitality and productiveness 

 the Early Newmarket Oat is unsurpassed. Sow 3 bushels per acre. 



PRICE, Early Newmarket Oats, per peck $0.55 



Per Standard bushel of 32 lbs 1.60 



10-bushel lots and upward, per bushel 1.55 



100-bushel lots, per bushel 1.50
