“Shadeland Climax” 
( Continued ) 
this Shadeland Climax: “Shadeland Climax Oats 
were the best oats grown in this section and recog¬ 
nized as such by everyone.” “Climax Oats are 
certainly a good kind of oats” “I raised my best- 
ever crop of oats from Shadeland Climax.” That’s 
why year after year orders for Shadeland Climax 
are repeated. It is one of the heaviest yielding tree 
oats. Even on big acreages it has shown yields of 
93 bushels per acre and on smaller acreages it has 
yielded more than 100 bushels per acre. Year by 
year it makes new friends. It comes from the 
famous rolling, hilly, Shadeland Valley out in 
Oregon and Washington. The place where the big, 
white, heavy, strong, vigorous seed oats are grown. 
If you want a prize-winning crop of oats, plant 
Shadeland Climax. You will not be disappointed. 
“Shadeland Climax” is a sprangle or tree oats, 
large in the berry, often showing three grains to a 
spikelet. The hull is thin and the hulled berry is 
one of the largest and finest you ever saw. Ripens 
early—very early—ahead of the other oats produced 
where it is grown. Has a stiff straw that stands up 
under its burden of grain under the most trying 
circumstances. 
In the best test possible—alongside of other oats 
—it has come out first. First in yield—earliness— 
weight of grain, and withal, as beautiful white 
grains as it is possible to grow. 
“Peerless” 
Here is an Oats for those who want something 
worthy at a figure only a little above cost of feed 
oats. Very pleasing reports have come from users 
the past twelve years. 
“Peerless” is a branching or tree oats—not the 
very earliest, but considered as an early sort. 
Ripens in mid-season. Our stocks are of good, 
average seed, bright color, well cleaned and sound 
—free of weeds—strong in germination. 
“Swedish Select” Oats 
“Swedish Select” became popular because of its 
heavy yields and other desirable characteristics. It 
is early, has a stiff straw that prevents lodging, 
and is a branching variety. The Bureau of Plant 
Industry, at Washington, in an official bulletin, said 
of this variety: “It has been shown that the ten- 
year average yield of this Oats at the Wisconsin 
Experiment Station was eight and one-half bushels 
per acre greater than other varieties.” Our cus¬ 
tomers who have purchased this variety have had 
good results—favorable reports have come from 
all sections. 
One characteristic of the “Swedish Select” is its 
great root development. This gives it power to go 
through with big yields on almost any kind of soils 
or under varied conditions. Customers having high, 
dry situations or clay loam soils on which other 
varieties have not succeeded will do well by sowing 
this one. 
“Swedish Select” is grown with success in almost 
every section where oats is grown on a commercial 
scale. Farmers who want a branching variety of a 
well tried, reliable kind can safely put their trust 
in “Swedish Select” regardless of the acreage they 
want to put out. We advise sowing 3 bu. per acre. 
Quality is good for this year—germination tests 
almost perfect. See Price List. 
“Silver Mine” 
A GOOD old standby. Early, hardy and prolific. 
Plant “Silver Mine.” Mix with Canada Peas and 
get an early crop of feed. If you feed oats in the 
sheaf (straw included) you will like “Silver Mine” 
because of its soft hull, large grains and clean 
straw; Heads are of the tree or “Sprangle” type, 
growing long and starting low down on the stalk.
