BUST, or 90-DAY 
OATS.— 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 and stands up 
well and makes an 
excellent yield. As 
it ripens before any 
other grain, it is es- 
We take a great 
deal of pride in the 
quality of the Seed 
Oats which we offer 
BED or TEXAS RUST-PROOF— 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 can be handled in the usual 
manner. To be used as sheaf oats this variety 
is superior to any other. 
WINTER TUBE OATS— The best and hardiest 
of oats. When sown early, they are far superior 
to Spring Oats. They yield ordinarily 40 to GO 
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 to 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. 
SUFERBA WHITE OATS This is an early 
white variety. The straw is of medium height 
and very strong. We have never heard 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- 
derful returns. With a favorable season, 90 to 
100 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. 
BEACH MIXED OATS — These oats grow tall- 
er and yield a little better than the white, and 
for this reason are preferred to use on moderate 
or thin land. They make more foliage than white 
Spring Oats and are better to cut green. 
Speltz or Emmer 
T his grain is of comparative recent introduc- 
•“ tion in this country. It is claimed by 
■jrt.-.ic, .* - some to be the primitive wheat, the 
kind grown by the ancients. It re- 
. * sembles Rye in the habit of growth, 
is early, will stand drought, yields 
well, makes a fine pasture or hay. 
The grain resembles wheat, but has 
a husk like barley. 
Sow in the Spring broadcast or drill 
at lYs to 2 bushels to the acre. 
Bushel is forty pounds.

Barley 
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 
land will produce 20 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 
threshing, although it is a profitable crop. This 
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 75 bushels per 
acre, and the quality is excellent, both for malt- 
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 S to 10 feet high, stands up 
well, and is entirely free from crooked brush. The 
fiber is long and fine. 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.
