HEN'RV W. KUHN, Mt. Storm, Grant Co., W. Va. writes* The Russian White Oats are far better 
than any other kind in this part of the country. My oats wdghed 41 lbs. to the measured bu, lam 
highly pieasea with them, ana shall sow all I have next, spring. 
A. S KJSSLING, Lower Heidelburg, Burks Co., Pa., writes* I bought one pound of Russian White 
Oats from you this spring, and that pound produced 1 bu., and I know that if we had more favorable 
veather they would have produced 3 bu. They grew to a height of over 5 ft., had heads 15 to 20 in. 
long and soine of these heads contained 200 kernels 
H. N. MERRITT, Pactola, Pennington Co.. Oak., writes: I sowed 3 lbs. and threshed out 200 lbs. 
They are not troubled 'with rust, and are very hardy. They arc very prolific, one head haying yielded 
206 grains. 
J. W. BURKE, Booneville, Logan Co., Ark., writes: I ordered 3 lbs. of your Russian White Oofs. 
and when the package arrived, it had been broken and there was only about one gill left; I planted 
this however, and was surprised to Arid that this small quantity had yielded me over bushel . Tkese 
oats are very strong and hardy, and are perfectly free from rust. In my estimation, they are very de¬ 
sirable for our southern climate. 
Mr. N. H. DAWSON, of Consville, Henry Co., Mo., thinks that the Russian White Oafs come up to 
all that is claimed for them; he further saj's: My oats were sown the 5th of May, and ripened sooner 
than common white oats sown 30 days before. They are very hardy entirely free from rvst, and very 
prolific ; I planted only 3 pounds and harvested over 6 bushels. 
S. R. PERRY, Hadley's Mills, Chatham Co., Pa,, writes as follovs: I sowed 8 ounces and realized 
over 200 oun es ; I did not sow them until the 20th of March, and if they had not had such a dry season, 
would certainly have yielded five times as much as they did. 
JOSIAH BOWEN, of Dighton, Bristol Co., Mass., sowed one pound of Russian White Oats . and 
harvested over 200 pounds; he says that under ordinary cultivation they will yield over 100 bushels to 
the acre . 
S. E. EWING, Lake View, Norhoe Co., Nev., writes: There is nothing in the oat line that will in 
any way compare with the Russian White. This variety is very prolific, /tardy , and rust proof \ three 
things that are absolutely essential to good oats; as a proof or their prolificness, I wish to say that 
from 3 pounds of seed sown, I realized over 116 pounds .

a circular asking the following questions, and we are pleased to state that 99 per cent, of those return¬

Were they troubled tvith rust ? J- 
Do you consider them hardy ? y 
Under ordinary cultivation, how many bushels# 
would you say they would produce to the acre? J 
How did they yield as compared with other vari- ) 
eties of oats ? \ 
How were you pleased with them generally ? J- 
The answers to these questions showed from 50 
to 300 fold increase.

bushels, according to locality.

DIItECTIONS. 
The Russian White Oats should be sown the same as ordinary oats, about 2>£ bu, to the acre. They 
should be sown very early in the spring. 
N. B.—While we only recommend them for early spring sowing, some of our customers in the 
south , inform us that they have sown them in the fall with very good success.
