P. ROBISON, Oentervflle, Fairfax Ocx, Va, writes as follows: The Russian White Oafs are V 
wits" for this country. I planted mine on an ordinary piece of cultivated land and their yield wt 
enormous. Thev ^rew to a height of 4 feet, having heads 18 inchee long, 25 sjyears of oats toere pr* 
duced from one kernel. 
L. G. STAND A RD, Carthage, Jefferson Ox, N. Y., writes: I sowed 8 lbs. and harvested 0 bushel. 
They are very haruy, entirely rust proof, and wonderfully prolific. One grain produced 11 stalks , or L 
grains, and I thin?: if I were to take 1 busheJL sow it in drills and cultivate same as corn I would easil 
realize 1000 bushels. 
MR. C. S. BOTHERMEL, East Berkley, Berks Co.. Pa., sowed only 10 ounces and was surprised v 
find a 3 *ield of 1650 ounces. He says: They will yield 8 time* as much as other varieties, and produr 
under ordinary cultivation 100 bushels to tice acre. 
A. A. DAVIS. Unity. Sullivan Ox, N. H.. writes: I sowed my oats very thin, the stalks produce 
were tall and thick, having heads 1>£ foot long. The Russian White Oats are haidy, rust proof 
to a height c° 5 feet, and weigh 35 pounds to the measured bushel. 
REV. A. R. REILEY, New Freedom, York Oo., Pa., planted 3 lbs. and realized 6 bushels, v.eighin; 
37 lbs to the bushel. My oats suffered greatly from the drought and had very little attention, .vet the> 
yielded 90 bushels fo the acre. With such results it is safe to say that under ordinary cultivation they 
would yield from 110 to 125 bushels to the acre. 
MR. B. DARROW, Forest Port, Oneida Co , N. Y., writes : I sowed 36 lbs. and in spite of tlx 
severe drouth they yielded 2764 lbs. or about three times as much as the common oats. They are per 
fectly hardy and had -no rust. The heads are large and vreil filled, and I t h i nk the Russian W/iite Oats 
very desirable acquisition to every farmer. 
P. BALLARD, Cedar Springs, Kent Oo., Mich., writes : They are more hardy and stand th- 
drought better than any other variety. They yield about three times as much and are in every wav 
superior to the common oats. 
T. LIN GOTSH ALL; Mifflinburg, Union Oo., Pa,, says: I planted 13 lbs. and harvested 6>£ bushels 
They are very hai'dy, absolutely rust proofs and are in every respect superior to other oats. 1 thin! 
every farmer in the United States should nave these Russian White Oats. lie also says: Far-mers try 
them, and you will say that the money paid out was not thrown away 
N. B. GO WIN, Freedom, Waldo Co., Me., writes: The season was very unfavorable, being wet 
cold, and backward; yet with all these disaa vantages the Jiussian White Oats grew tail and tilled up- 
well . They are very hardy and produce three or four times as much as any other variety. They ar^ 
proof against rusty have very heavy heads, and are in every way desirable. 
THOMAS GRIFFITH. Clinton, Ohio Oo., W. Va.. says: I sowed 1 lb. and harvested over bu 
They are not troubled with rust, are perfectly hardy, and I consider them -worth their -weight in gold. 
J. CAVERNO, Strafford, Strafford Oo., N. H., writes: From 1 lb. of oats sown I harvested 70 Ins 
I am very well pleased with them, they are very hardy and are not troubled with rust. These oat- 
under ordinary cultivation will produce 150 bu. to Vie acre. 1 sowed my oats the same time I did my 
wheat, giving them a fair chance — nothing more, and the resultjwas wonderful; they produced hea sr> 
straws, with very long heads, large kernels and the prettiest grain I ever saw growing. 
A W. THOMAS, War Eagle Mills. Benton Co., Ark., planted 3 lbs and realized 10 bu. He sa> 
I planted my oats alongside of the White Dutch Oats, and the Russian White yielded just double th. / 
quantity. I say they axe all that is claimed for them. 
JOHN S. BROWN, Cedar Lane, Greene Oo., Tenn., writes: I would advise all farmei-s to try >4^ 
Russian White Oats. I esteem them above ail others. 
ABE HERJE, of Ravenswood, Jackson Oo., W. Va., last spring sowed three pounds of Russia 
Whi'e Oats , and from them threshed out two barrels of nice, large oats, and informs us that a secovr 
crop sprung up from roots of the stubble, and will make another half crop, at least. 
J. M. FERGUSON, St. Clair, Churchill Oo., Nev., writes: I received 65 lbs. of Russian White Gatr 
from the 4 » ounces sown, They are rust proof and hardy , and will, with ordinary cultivation, yield 65 
bu. to the acre. In this section of the country irrigation is practical, and had there been dangev. or 
rust it would have shown itself, as the oats were flooded four times. 
MRS. C. WOOD. Paskenta, Tehama Oo., Cal,, writes: I harvest over 2 bu. from 1 lb. of see/i. 
I think under ordinary cultivation they will yield 75 to lOUbu. to the acre. They grew from 5 to 6 ft. i: 
height, and blades from the ground up. 
O. EOKERSLEY, Cove, Union Oo., Oregon: The Russian. White Oats have some excellent quali 
ties. They areper/eetty hardy, free front rust, and have straw thick and strong enough to suppor*. 
their heavy heads. 
U. P. CLARK. Wallingford, Rutland Oo., Vt., writes as foOows: I very hesitatingly ordered of yo>-; 
last spring 2 bu. of Russian White Oats , at what I thought a very high price, $2.50 per bu. I sowed, 
them on an acre of rather ooor land, and have harvested this fall 71 bu. of very superior oats. The 
straw is stronger than the common variety, consequently the heavy heads do not brea»c the straw, 
should consider them cheaper seed if I were to pay $6.00 per bu. for them and 60 cts. per bu. for > 
common. 
HENRY BENDER, Miles City, Ouster Oo., Mont., writes: From the 30 lbs. I sowed I realized IA-1'J 
lbs. They were free from rust , are very hardy , and I consider them “ the oats ’* for this country.

are not troubled with rust, are very hardy , yield four times as m uch as any ether oats, and 1 tali- 
pleasure in reoommendlng them to all.
