REGENERATED 
STRAINS of OATS 
Specially Bred Stock. Grown on New, Clean 
Land. Big, Strong Seed. 
THE NEW LEADER OATS 
The Only Five Grained Oat Ever Offered in Canada, 
l-las Yielded as High as 140 Bushels per Acre. The 
Head Tells Why. 
Note the number of grains in each spilcelet on the 
head as shown in the ilhistration and drawn from a crop 
of a hundred acres. Those at the top run five grains 
in a spil<elet: others nearer the main stem four grains; 
others, tlu-ee grains, and there are no spiltelets that have 
less tiian two grains. Ordinary oats rim 35 to 40 grains 
on a head : good standard varieties 50 to 65 grains, while 
tiiis new breed runs from 60 to over 200. 
We have, therefore, no hesitation in claiming that, 
under normal conditions of cultivation, it will give a 
greater yield than any other cereal at present in culti- 
vation. It possesses a remarkable adaptability to the 
various stages of fertility found in different soils, and 
instead of producing, like most other varieties on very 
rich soils a rank growth of foliage at the expense of 
grain production, tills new breed develops an ear 
possessmg up to four or five grains in a spikelet through- 
out the ear. Owing to this valuable property, some 
phenomenal yields have been produced. Price on appli- 
cation. 
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 four seasons 
ago, and has exceeded our most enthusiastic expecta- 
tions. It is rapidly proving itself a leader. It is an 
early Oat. and yet an enormous yielder — a hard com- 
bination to get. It has a fine straw; the sort plant 
breeders have been trying for jjears 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 K lbs. per measured bushel. Market 
price. 
THE SEGER OAT one of the Best 
Oats on the Market. 
What Marquis Wheat was to Western Canada, the 
Seger Oat is to the oat-growing world. A truly won- 
derful introduction — the production of twenty-flve 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. Market price. 
Tf «. J n r» * breeds of oats come and go, but the Banner Oat goes on forever. It seems to suit 
Kegeneratea oanner KJ&Z. — some farms, and to do better there than any other oat yet introduced. We And 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.

Banner Oat. — Ordinary stock. Market price. 
n ».JAU J Aftf- Tills sort enjoys a high reputation in many parts of Canada, especially in those dis- 
Keg^enerateu ADUnuance yJSlZ, tricts where a relatively early variety is desired. The grain is of line 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-kernel led, 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. Market price. 
Abundance Oat. — Ordinary stock. Market price.
