Shadeland Senator" 
The Most Beautiful Grained Oats 
You Have Ever Seen 
This is no idle statement — 
Shadeland Senator is indeed the 
prettiest Seed Oats one could look 
upon. Yet Shadeland Senator is 
more than an oats of Ijeauty. It 
is a variety of great value. It is a 
true ' Side * or * horse-mane ' type 
— not greatly unlike the famous 
White Tartar in many respects. 
Although the grain is larger, it is 
of much the same type. Heads 
are formed in practically the same 
manner — they are of good length 
— borne on good, stiflf straw — that 
stands up very well under adverse 
conditions. Ripens very early. 
Shadeland Senator is especially 
adapted to heavy land. 
Our supply came direct to us from the grower in the 
State of Oregon— and is the genuine Shadeland Senator 
type. This variety is especially noted for its productive- 
M ness. Read this report from a dry season (given by the 
jf ' originator of the Shadeland varieties.) : 
' ' " The Senator Oats were planted May 15th, at which time we had 
a slight shower, enough to sprout them. They were drilled on land 
prepared for clover, and had but one or two light rains from planting 
to harvest— August 17th, 93 days from planting. Early seeding would 
have filled them even better. They also had several days of hot 
winds before being bound, but threshed out beautifully, yielding 96 
bushels per acre. Seeded in good land, this oat will do well, and 
where oats are liable to lodge, Senator will stand up— has stiff 
straw. Note the size of grains and the fine color."— C. D. Nairn. 
We consider the above an exceptional showing — 
and have no hesitation recommending Shadeland Senator 
for growth hereabouts. This is said because of the exceptional 
records Shadeland Climax (produced in this same locality as 
Shadeland Senator) — has been making throughout the East, 
since its introduction by us si.x years ago. 
Not until this season — and we have been trying since 191S 
— have we been able to secure some of this variety for our 
trade. The quantity is very small — even though we paid its 
former owner an exorbitant price. Besides his large pre- 
mium, we freighted the shipment all the way across the con- 
tinent—hence the reader can readily see the cause for the 
following prices at which this small supply will be sold. Many will want to 
make trial plantings of Shadeland Senator, and because of the'small amount 
we own, we must refrain from selling more than 10 bushels to one party. 
Prices:—! lb. (postpaid) 20c.; 6 lbs. (postpaid) $1; ^^-bu. (express collect) 
$1.50; 1 to 5 bushels at $2.50 bu.; 6 to 10 bushels at $2.25 bu. 
"Improved White Russian" (Side Oats) 
We are sorry to announce this spring's very short supply of White

Improved White Russian is a genuine Side or Horse-mane typo. M
