THESE VARIETIES OF OATS STAND ON THEIR REPUTATION 
SWEDISH Select Oats 
A PEDIGREE VARIETY introduced 
from Russia. This was in the 
cereal e.xhibit made by the United 
States Department of Agriculture at 
the St. Louis Exposition. Now it is 
well acclimatized, weighs from 36 to 
40 pounds per measured bushel. The 
straw is coarse, noted Jor its stiffness 
and power to withstand lodging. The 
grains are pure while in color, large, thick 
and plump, making a very handsome appear- 
ance. The heads are large, upright and 
bushy, they are also nearly all meat, tlu- 
hull being exceedingly thin, making them 
especially valuable as a feeding oat. Their 
great root development enables them to 
resist drought better than most other kinds. 
They arc quite early and less liable to smut 
and rust than almost any other sort. Pound 
20c., postpaid; peck 45c., bushel $1.15.
