Selected Seed Oats 
We take a great 
deal of pride in the 
quality of the Seed 
Oats which we offer 
to our trade. They 
are always careful- 
ly selected and re- 
el e a n e d over our 
own mills. 
BURT, or 90-DAY 
OAT S. — This Oats 
has been extensive- 
ly grown in Tennes- 
see for years and 
has lately come in- 
to use in Kentucky. 
The color is between 
a gray and yellow — 
looks like a stained 
White Oat — straw is 
stiff j^nd stands up 
well and makes an 
excellent yield. As 
it ripens before any 
other grain, it is es- 
pecially desirable for early feeding. 
RED or TEXAS RUST-PROOP. — This Oat orig- 
inally came from the Southwest. The heads are 
unusually long and heavy. Sometimes the heads 
start within a few inches of the ground. When 
this is the case it should be mowed and cured as 
hay. Ordinarily it ran be handled in the usual 
manner. To be used as sheaf oats this variety 
is superior to any other. 
WINTER TURF OATS. — The best and hardiest 
of oats. When sown early, they are far superior 
to Spring Oats. They yield ordinarily 40 to 60 
bushels to the acre, but under favorable condi- 
tions yields of over 100 bushels to the acre have 
been reported. The grain is of a dark gray color, 
very heavy with a thin hull, and tests 40 to 42 
pounds to the bushel. On good land they grow 
4 tc > 5 feet high, producing both the best ‘quality 
of feeding oats and better and more palatable 
straw for stock. Sow 1 % to 2 bushels to the acre. 
SUPERBA WHITE OATS.— This is an earlv 
white variety. The straw is of medium height 
and very strong. We have never hoard of a case 
of its lodging. The grain is large and plump, 
very heavy, with a thin hull. This oat, on ac- 
count of its great productiveness, will give won- 
<nn S 1 returns. With a favorable season. 90 to 
luu bushels to the acre and on exceptionally good 
ground as high as 125 bushels to the acre. 
WHITE SPRING OATS.— Our stocks of these 
oats are especially nice. They are northern grown 
and have been carefully recleaned by us. 
BLACK MIXED OATS. — These oats grow tall- 
er and yield a little better than the white, and 
lor this reason are preferred to use on moderate 
or thm land. They make more foliage than white 
bpring Oats and are better to cut green. 
Speltz or Emmer 
Earley 
i BEARDLESS SPRING- BARLEY.— A very val- 
uable variety. The earliest barley known. The 
straw is about the height of common barley, but 
| better, and will stand up on any land; on good 
i land will produce 80 bushels per acre. Sow as 
| early as you can; frost does not hurt it. Many 
| farmers will not grow barley on account of the’ 
long, harsh beards which are so disagreeable in 
I threshing, although it is a profitable crop. This 
I is beardless and easy to grow and handle as oats. 
! It has hulls like any other old variety, and is a 
| heavy cropper, yielding- from 50 to 80 bushels pet- 
acre, and the quality is excellent, both for malt- 
j ing and for feeding hogs. 
EVERGREEN BROOM CORN. — Wherever the 
location is suitable for growing Broom Corn, far- 
mers find it a paying crop, the demand for the 
brush exceeding the supply. This evergreen va- 
riety grows about 8 to 10 feet high, stands up 
well, and is entirely free from crooked brush. The 
liber is long and line. It will not get red in the 
field before it is cut. but is strictly a green vari- 
ety of brush. 
Seed Wheat 
We sell thousands of bushels of the best and 
most improved varieties of Seed Wheat every 
year, and our wheats have attained a very high 
reputation on account of their cleanliness and 
superior quality. We issue in August a descrip- 
tive list of Seed Wheat and other seeds for Fall 
sowing, which we will take pleasure in mailing to 
any one upon request.
