This marvelous variety we olitained direct from Glasgow three years ago 
aiitl "ffejed It then for the first time in this country. It has been grown in 
(he Highlands of Scotland, for many years where yields of 150 bushels per 
acre are not uncommon. In all our tests of many varieties (over 50) this 
sort has proven superior to others in both quality and yield. The straw is 
exceedmgly strong and wiry enabling it to hold up its enormous heads of 
grain without breaking or lodging in the least, and is rust proof. The grain 
IS of the largest size, full and plump, pure white and very heavy. On 
account of its fine appearance it commands tlie very best price on the 
market It withstands drought remarkably well, aiid is well fitted for all

Miice<i that Hlank Oats are more reliable croppers than white, which i« to a 
certain extent true, as they will endure more hardship and exposure and still 
nirike a good crop. These oats are the result of an importation of seed from 
J'.nEland several years ago, where black oats are much preferred and about 
three times as many arc grown as of white oats. Thev are fully as good as the 
white sort for feeding, and are very early. The straw is ^ erv stiff, the heads 
are long, and yield heavy crops of grain, weighing thirtv-five to fortv-five 
pounds to the measured bushel. Claimed by many to' be almost drought
