where and Thousands of Farmers Through- 
out the Country Having Raised Them 
Say That They Stand at the Head. 
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 anj' 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. \Vc hope 
to supply all our customers who want to chang:e 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 ad vantage to do so. Order early as there promises to be an extraordinary 
large demand this spring. Lb. 250, pk. 350, bu. $1.25, bag 2 i-a bu. $3.75. 
Rlfick Tst'i'flfiflfl '^^^ most prolific anddistinct variety of Black Oats ever Introduced. 
* Kill* Many farmers are convinced that Black Oats arc more reliable 
croppers than white, which is to a certain extent true, as they will endure rtit>re hardship and 
exposure and still make a good crop. These oats are the result of an importation of seed from 
England several j'cjirs ago, where black oats are much preferred and about tlirce times as 
many arc grown as of white oats. They are fully as good as the white sort for feeding, and arc 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 tnafiy to be almost drought proof. 
Our seed has been carefully grown, and we are sure tliat every one who grows it will be well 
pleased with it. They have always been free from rust, mainly on account of vigorous growth 
and early maturity. Lb. 250, pk. 35c, bu. $1.25, bag 2 1.3 bu, $2.75,
