IMPERIAL OATS 
Big Crops 
are what show the profit. It costs just as much to plow and fit the 
land, whether the crop is large or small but the largest yield 
cannot be obtained where poor seed is used. Our advice to customers 
is to always keep up the quality of their seed, which can be done at a nominal cost by 
ordering small quantities of the newest and best and from this start grow a supply of seed. 
A single bushel of Imperial oats will produce an abundance of good seed for the average 
oat grower. Don’t be satisfied with a yield of 30 to 40 bushels per acre when the possibility 
is within your reach to get 
103 bushels per acre or more 
* ■ — — 
There is no reason why you cannot grow just such fields of oats as shown in the above photograph 
as only ordinary farm methods were used and no extra fertilizer applied 
since a crop of potatoes were grown the year previous. 
We feel that you can bank on the Imperial giving you record-breaking crops and enough 
increase in yield to pay many times over for any small amount you may invest in seed 
stock for a start. 
WHAT OTHERS SAY WHO HAVE USED OUR SEEDS 
Peterboro County, Ont., Canada.

Peterboro Field Crop Competition this year.” 
W. H. .Merrill. 
Orange County, Vermont. 
“Have sold a large amount of your Oats in this section, 
and find they out-yield any other variety we have ever 
tried.” F. T. Avery. 
I bought some of your seed oats from W. S. Wait three years 
ago and this year I threshed over 100 bushels to the acre. They 
weighed 40 lbs. to the bushel. Have sold nearly 1000 bushels for 
seed already. (Signed) Chas. N. Osborne, Brant Co.. Ont. 
Murray M. Dodge sold his farm and had a quantity of seed 
oats which he grew from seed purchased from you, and the 
oats were so superior to the ordinary variety of oats grown In 
that vicinity that they sold for $3.00 per bushel while ordinary 
seed oats were selling for about $1.00 per bushel. I am a 
farmer myself and have been selling seeds for you since 1917 
and have never had a single complaint. 
(Signed) J. R. Whitton, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. 
The oats I got from you two years ago, (half a bushel) did 
fine last year. I had enough seed for 12% acres which yielded 
90 bushels this year. 
(Signed) J. G. Sutton, Oakland Co., Mich. 
Those oats are the finest I have sown or ever seen.
