THE SENSATION OAT 
u 
SENSATION ” OATS IN NATURE. 
The above photographic reproduction is not imaginary. It is a half-tone etching made direct from it photograph which repre- 
sents a field yielding one hundred and eight bushels per acre in a season and section where 35 bushels per acre was a good average, 
only one other field yielded so much as 60 bushels per acre. 
# DESCRIPTION. ^ 
CRAIN The grain of the SENSATION OAT 
‘ is enormous in size, and has the largest 
meat in proportion to size of any oat. 
Q'-pD a vvr The straw is very strong and does not 
1 ivzi. w • | oc [g e even when others with less 
weight of grain in the head go down. The blade is 
nearly double the size of that of ordinary oats and is 
good evidence of it’s inherent vigor. 
C The SENSATION OAT stools 
heavily and is really remarkable in 
that respect. In one of our fields, this past season, 
we sowed ten pecks per acre on part and the re- 
mainder was sown with seven pecks. It was abso- 
lutely impossible to see any difference in the appear- 
ance of the two parts and we noted no difference in 
the yield. 
ITT tt t The hull is thin and easily separated 
from tlie meat, making them valuable for 
feeding. It is no trouble for a horse to digest every 
kernel of grain. 
VT^OR The remarkable vigor of the SENSA- 
^ •1-kJvJIV. q'lON OAT is easily noticed in the 
growing crop from its first appearance above ground. 
One of our fields, this season, was sown with SEN- 
SATION OATS and two days before a neighbor’s 
field of common oats. When the SENSATION 
OATS were seven inches above ground the others 
were not more than two. While common kinds suf- 
fered from excessive dry and cold weather the past 
spring, without exception, the SENSATION 
OATS were a rich dark green. 
HAVE YIELDED MORE THAN DOUBLE ORDINARY KINDS UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. 
Tested side by side, with other oats, the “ Sensation ” has actually yielded double the number of bushels 
per acre. This can be partly attributed to the fact that in many cases the spikes or breast will contain three 
full kernels where other oats give but two.
