New Breed of White Oats 



Garton No. 5 



THE CORN BELT OAT 



This New Variety was bred by the Garton 

 Seed Co., Expert Scientific Breeders and Seed 

 Specialist. For years there has been a call from 

 farmers for a Corn Belt Oats. Hundreds of 

 farmers had despaired of ever making money 

 on oats, for two seemingly reasons: firstly, it 

 was contended that no oats on the market could 

 stand up good on corn or bottom land and fill 

 out as it ought to ; secondly, oats were too sus- 

 ceptible to rust, which means invariable loss of 

 crop. 



Here we have an oat that is bred for this 

 special purpose and will be of untold value to 

 farmers in the Corn Belt. 



The Oat of the Twentieth Century, without 

 question the greatest triumph ever achieved by 

 plant breeding. 



This Xew Corn Belt Oat matures early enough 

 to escape Hot Winds and the Rust which follows, 

 whilts the grain ; is three times the size of the 

 sixty day type and is an enormous yielder. 



The straw is strong and can positively be de- 

 pended upon not to lodge even under most ex- 

 treme conditions, the quality of straw being such 

 as in itself makes remarkable good and nutri- 

 tious fodder. 



Look at the pedigree of this valuable New 

 Oats, bred from that money maker, "Regenerat- 

 ed Swedish Select," crossed on "Garton's Sena- 

 tor," and exceptionally strong-strawed oat which 

 matures extremelv earlv. 



It is certainly an ideal combination, as from one of its parents, "Senator," we get 

 extreme earliness, practically immune from rust, and straw of enormous strength, 

 while the merits of its other parent, "Regenerated Swedish Select," are so well-known 

 and universally acknowledge as a great yielder and drought resister that it leaves little 

 more to be desired. 



Garton's No. 5 is without the shadow of doubt the earliest large-berried Oat ever 

 introduced. It ripens from 10 to 14 days earlier than Regenerated Swedish Select, 

 is of the open head or spangled type, a phenominal yielder, having topped all records in 

 trials against all oats at present in the market. 



The grain is pure white and of wonderful quality and extremely high in protein 

 and oils, husk is remarkably thin, making it a most valuable feeding oats and as a 

 milling oat it has positively no equal. 



Every farmer should get a supply of seed of this variety throughout the corn belt 

 and give it a trial and get into this seed of this valuable sort.
