pure white and very heavy. Qn

GOLDEN CLUSTER OATS 
THE ORIGINAL SEED of this sorl Was obtained direct from Scotland. It proves to be very hardy and a vigorous grower. 
In height it averages about the same as our famous Scottish Chief. The straw is very stiff, and is never known to 
lodie. It has a record of yielding loj bushels to the acre, when other varieties in the same field yielded only 50 to 60 
bushels. Pound 20c., postpaid; peck 35c., bushel SI. IS. 
NEW OAT, UNIVERSITY NO. 6 
THE MINNESOTA STATE EXPERIMENT STATION lios jOT sovxcyeurs befli breftting nfW varietifs of oats, and the vaucty 
iierc offered as University No. 6 is its "Record Breaker" for yield. Side by side with other leading sorts in the tests 
made under the direction of the Agriculturist at the Minnesota State Farm it has proven the most productive vancly 
grown there. It is a white oat, very early, very heavy, a great yielder. Pound 20c, postpaid; peck 3Sc., bushel SI. 10. 
BLACK TARTARIAN OATS 
THESE OATS are the result of an importation of seed from England, several years ago, where black oats are miich pre. 
ferrcd and about three times as many are grown as of white oats. They arc fully as good as the while sort for feodiiis, 
and arc very early. The straw is very stiff, the heads arc long, and yield heavy crops of grain, weighing 35 to i5 Pgunds 
to the measured bushel. Claimed by many to be almost drought proof. Pound 20c., postpaid; peck 40c., bushel S1.30.
