“20th CENTURY” OATS. 
90 Measured Bushels of “20th Century” Oats, per acre, are Equal to 125 Bushels, 
reckoning 32 pounds per bushel. This shows the decided advantage in raising a heavy variety of oats of good 
quality. We particularly invite the attention of all purchasing, to the excellent quality as well as the weight of 
these oats, so that the same may not be confused with the old strain of “ Barley Oats,” which weighed heavily 
but had such a thick hull and short berry that they were almost without value, either for milling or feeding. 
Our 11 20th CENTURY ” has not a single fault. 
INOW IS /\ CHANCE 
to get a start with this extra valuable new variety and reap ridi profits in selling seed to less fortunate neighbors 
at a high price, as the demand is sure to be far beyond the supply for several years to come. 
XHE ACCOMPANYING F»HOTOG R/\F*H 
shows the comparative weights of two measured bushels of 11 Probester ” and two of ‘‘20th CENTURY,” 
66 and 89 pounds respectively. Our crop of ‘‘20th CENTURY,” growing at the time this edition 
goes to press, was all seeded with the same grade of heavy oats as those used in making the test. The large 
berry, when seeded, gives the young shoot a good vigorous growth and the rich green, as compared with fields 
of other oats, can be no- 
ticed as far as one can 
see. In the growing 
crop, this season, we 
have measured blades or 
leaves on the straw, 
measuring 18 inches long 
by Y inch wide. For 
land liable to be effected 
by dry weather, the 
‘‘20th CENTURY” is 
without a parallel. With 
favorable conditions this 
season, we hope in our 
‘‘20th CENTURY,” to 
be able to bring the test 
weight up to 
50 pounds per bushel. 
As we have unlimited con- 
fidence in this new oat, based 
upon our repeated tests and 
more than satisfactory re- 
sults, we offer the same 
Unqualified Guarantee 
as given on our Sensation Oat, 
to which your attention is 
called. Purchasers take ab- 
solutely no risk whatever. We 
could not afford to make such 
\ an offer if we were not posi- 
\ tive the ” 20th CENTURY” 
is going to do us and itself 
credit.
