Specially Bred Stock. Grown on New, Clean Land. Big, Strong Seed. 
The New Gold Rain Oat 
The Steel Strawed Oat. Enormous Yielder. Beautiful Quality Grain. Extremely Early. 
The latest pedigreed or "elite" strain of this new breed of Oats was introduced into Canada three seasons ago, and has exceeded 
our most enthusiastic expectations. It is rapidly proving itself a leader. It is an early Oat, and yet an enormous yielder — a hard 
combination to get. It has a fine straw; the sort plant breeders have been trying for years to get. It's fine, but strong. It gives 
in a big rain or wind storm, but it comes back. It has been called the steel strawed oat. It does not break off at the base like the 
coarser' strawed oats, which so frequently do this when down and never come back. 
The grains are yellow in colour, without awns, fairly long, carrying their width evenly all the way through. They weigh 
heavier to the bushel, generally, than any other oat ordinarily grown. Shipments of this oat last season weighed 48 lbs. per measured 
bushel. Per peck, 50 cts. ; bushel, $1.50; 10 bushels or more, S1.45 per bushel. 
The Seger Oat One of the greatest Oat on the market in the World to-day 
What Marquis Wheat was to Western Canada, the Seger Oat is to the oat growing world. A truly wonderful introduction — 
the production of twenty-five years' unremitting toil by Prof. Nilsson, Svalof, Sweden, one of the world's greatest Farm Plant Breeders. 
Mr. Newman, Secretary of Canadian Seed Growers, Association, who spent the best part of a year with Prof. Nilsson, says in part 
in describing this oat that "it is the leading oat yet produced at Svalof,... and continuing, "It is a stiff-strawed sort, of medium height, 
with stiff, upright, but rather short panicle, giving little indication of its high-yielding capacity." 
The grain is white, sometimes of a slightly reddish shade, fairly large, somewhat short and thick, with few beards or awns. It 
is not quite as early as Gold Rain, which is an extremely early variety, but it ripens in good time. Per peck., 50 cts.; buchel, $1.50; 
10 bushels or more, $1.45 per bushel. 
Garton's No. 22 Oat The Heavy Land Oat. A Really Wonderful Drought Resister 
Bred from Abundance, Banner and Tartar King, combining the good points of each parent, Garton's No. 22 was introduced 
into Western Canada five years ago, and today holds a foremost place amongst the heaviest yielding oats. It is very early, an enor- 
mous yielder, stands and fills against hot dry winds, and has a very large plump grain. Per peck., 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50; 10 bushels 
or more, $1.45 per bushel. 
Regenerated Banner Oat. New breeds of oats come and go, but the Banner Oat goes on for ever. It seems to suit some 
farms, and to do better there than any other oat yet introduced. We find this Regenerated 
Stock earlier than the ordinary, common, unimproved Banner, which we find it also excels in strength of straw, yield and quality of grain. 
This is carefully grown stock seed. Clear as a whistle. Government Germination Test shows 95 per cent, germination. 
Per peck., 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50; 10 bushels or more, $1.45 per bushel. 
Banner Oat. — Ordinary stock, $1.25 per bushel. 
Regenerated Abundance Oat. This sort enjoys a high reputation in many parts of Canada, especially in those districts 
; ■ where a relatively early variety is desired. The grain is of fine quality, being large and 
plump with a relatively thin hull. The panicle is comparatively large and rich, pyramid-like in contour, with upright, spreading 
branches. The spikelets are inclined to be three-kernelled, and rather broad. This sort usually ripens from 4 to 6 days before Banner, 
hence its popularity in certain districts as above mentioned. The straw is of a good length and strength and of fair quality. Per 
peck., 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50; 10 bushels or more, $1.45 per bushel. 
Abundance Oat. — Ordinary stock. $1.25 per bushel. 
REGENERATED NEW MARKET OAT A Y er y heavy cropper. Weighs most per bushel. The finest appearing 
t white oat grown. Next to Banner, we recommend New market as a general 
purpose Oat, notwithstanding anything to the contrary. New market is as plump, as heavy a yielder, as fine appearing, and is equal 
in every respect. 
It is a strikingly handsome and very branching variety. While the kernels are plump there is not that objectionable thick 
hull which is so common in many varieties. Straw is stiff, kernels white, heavy and handsome. Our stocks of New market are selected 
and grown from Pedigreed Seed. Per peck., 50 cts.; bushel, $1.50; 10 bushels or more, $1.45 per bushel. 
New Market. — Ordinary stock. $1.25 per bushel.
