RUSSIAN WHITE OATS. 
This new variety of oats lias already been tested in 
nearly all portions of the country, from Maine to Califor¬ 
nia, and the reports from almost all the States of the Union 
are unanimous in its commendation as the heaviest yielder 
in cultivation. One hundred and fifty-seven pounds of clean 
oats were harvested from a single ounce of seed last season. 
In nine tenths of the reports the yield exceeded 500 fold 
•' *- 
increase. 
The Russian White Oats are prolific without parallel, 
and with ordinary- cultivation will yield 100 bushels per 
acre. They are extremely hardy, enduring the coldest 
climate in our country without injury, and are absolutely 
mst proof. Each kernel planted will produce twenty-five 
to forty heads from sixteen to twenty-two inches in length. 
The straw is large and strong enough to support the enor¬ 
mous heads of this variety. The grain is heavy and the 
chaff light, so that a measured bushel weighs considerably 
more than a bushel of ordinary oats. All things considered, 
this is the most valuable variety of oats now grown, and 
is destined, when known more widely, to become the stand¬ 
ard sort.
