BONANZA KING. 
A Record Breaker Oat— Yields of 75 to 143 Bushels per Acre— It has given Great Satisfaction Everywhet 
and Thousands of Farmers Throughout the Country Having Raised Them say that They Stand at the Hea( 
The straw Is very stiff, supportluK long heads that stool 
freely and yield remarkably. The original seed stock was se- 
lected from a crop that weighed over 45 pounds to the measured 
bushel. The grraln is as heavy as any in existence today, and 
from recent tests proves it far superior to any white oats in 
cultivation. The Bonanza King has been carefully selected and 
improved for several years until it now stands with a record 
that has never been equaled. We hope to supply all our cus- 
tomers who want to change their seed and every farmer knows 
that change of seed is a great benefit, and, as long as such a 
grand variety can be had at as low a price, we believe It is to 
their advantage to do so. Order early as there promi.ses to be 
an extraordinary large demand this spring. I.b. 25c postpaid)

W/hitP Qlieciiin This splendid oat. although quite ex- 
TT iiiLC ivu^0iail« tensively grown In some sections, is 
not as well known as some of the older sorts, and is not re- 
ceiving the attention it deserves. Some farmers who are not 
acquainted with the Russian Oat have an idea it Is very late. 
It will ripen from 4 to 6 d.'.ys later than our earliest oat here 
in Minnesota. If a quantity of oats are to be sown it is always 
best to sow two kinds, an early and a late. Sow Scotti.sh Chief 
for early, and for second early sow White Russian. It will not 
shell out even if it does get over rfpe. Heavy rain storms will 
not lodge it, for it grows such stiff and strong straw. The 
kernels are of good size and uniform length. The heads are 
long, heavy l«den, curve gracefully downward, sometimes 
nearly a foot in length, with kernels crowded closely together. 
It is in fact the prettiest white oat introduced, and will always 
bring the highest price on the market. In this great grain 
growing state. Minnesota, the Russian Oats are grown more 
extensively than any other sort, which speaks well for its su- 
periority in the grain market, as well as its earllness. Our 
seed of this variety has been carefully selected, and we high- 
ly recommend it to our customers. Lb. 25c, postpaid! pk. SOe,

RlnrW Tat^ttfinn l'*'^ most prolific and distinct ti 
Uiawiv I ai vai lail. Black Oats ever lntrodu< 
ed. Many farmers are convinced that Black Oats are mor 
reliable croppers than white, which is to a certain extent tru 
as they will endure more hardship and exposure and still mail 
a good crop. These oats are the result of an importation ( 
seed from England several years ago. where black oats ai 
much preferred and about three times as many are grown a 
of white oats. They are fully as good as the white sort fo 
feeding, and are very early. The straw Is very stiff, the heac 
are long, and yield heavy erops of grain, weighing thirty-flv 
to forty-flve pounds to the measured bushel. Claimed by man 
to be almost drongrht proof. Our seed has been careful 
grown. They have always been free from rust, mainly on ac 
count of vigorous growth and early maturity. Vh. 25c, post

flt\\At^n r'l«o4'a«' The original seed of this sort was o6 
VJUIUCll Vi/IUSLCr. tained direct from Scotland, and wi 
cacefully planted and grown by us. It proves to be very harl 
and a vigorous grower. In height it averages about the saro 
a.s our famous Scottish Chief. The straw is very stiff, and 
never known to lodge. It has a record of yielding 105 bushd 
to the acre, when other varieties in the same field yielded bnl 
50 to 60 bushels. The seed we olter of this sort is grown 
us. therefore the genuine. Lb. 25c, postpaid; pk. 00c, bu. $1.K

I tnrrtin f\a4-a This new oat has done remarkably wel 
LtlllCUlll \7<tLS. In all sections. It Is very early and thu 
far proved to be rust proof. It has given wonderful result 
as a yieUler; in one instance 170 bushels were grown from oi 
bushel of seed. Straw Is stiff and strong. Grain is handsoin 
and is valuable for feeding as well as grinding for oatmei 
on account of its thin hull and heavy meat. lib. SOc, postpaid
