BONANZA KING OATS. 
A VERY PROLIFIC AND DISTINCT VARIETY — 
YIELDS 100 TO 140 BUSHELS PER ACRE. 
The straw is very stiff, supporting long heads that 
stool freely and yield remarkably. The original 
seed stock was selected from a crop that weighed 
over 45 pounds to the measured bushel. The grain 
is as heavy as any in existence today, and numerous 
tests prove it far superior to any white oats in cul- 
tivation. The Bonanza King has been carefully sel- 
lected and improved for several years until it now 
stands with a record that has never been equalled. We 
hope to supply ail our customers 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 to do so. 
Order early, as there are promisee to be an extraordinary 
large demand this spring. Lb., 25c, postpaid; pk., 35c; 
bu., $1.00; 10 bu., $8.50. 
Black Tartarian Oats. 
The most prolific and distinct variety of black Oats ever in- 
troduced. Many farmers are convinced that Black Oats are 
more reliable croppers than white, which is to a certain extent 
true, as they will endure more hardships and exposure and still 
make a good crop. These oats are the result of an importa- 
tion of seed from England several years ago, where black oats 
arc much preferred and about three times as many are grown 
as of white oats. They are fully as good as the white sort for 
feeding, and are very early. The straw is very stiff, the heads 
are long, and yield heavy crops of grain, weighing thirty-five 
to forty-five pounds to the measured bushel. Claimed by many to 
be almost drought proof. ' ; 
Our seed has been carefully grown. They have always been free 
from rust, mainly on account of vigorous growth and early maturity.

rust proof. It has given wonderful results as a yielder; in one instance 170 
bushels were grown from one bushel of seed. Straw is stiff and strong. 
Grain is handsome and is valuable for feeding as well as grinding for oat- 
meal, on account of its thin hull and heavy meat. Lb. 20c, postpaid;

Bonanza King Oats. 
Australian Salt Bush. 
A Forage Plant for Alkali Soils, and for Regions 
Subject to Periodic Drouth. (See Cut.) 
This is a most wonderful forage plant, as it will grow freely in arid and 
alkali lands, that will produce no other vegetation, yielding a marvelous 
lil>eral foliage which is eagerly eaten by all kinds of stock. It is of creeping 
habit. From 20 to 30 tons of green fodder have been harvested from one 
acre. It has further been proven that after three or four crops have been 
grown on alkali land, that the soil is then capable of producing any other 
vegetation. In many sections of the states this is in itself of priceless value. 
This plant has been extensively tried at the California Experimental 
Station, where single plants, grown in the poorest alkali ground, have 
reached a diameter of lfi feet in one season. One pound of seed will plant 
an acre. It grows readily from seed and requires no cultivation. Pkt., 
5c; oz„ 10c; H lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
