Oat, Early Siberian. 
The King of All Oats. 
There is no question but that this is the greatest grain 
ever introduced, and its value to farmers is inestimable 
Nothing like it ever before seen. Straw straight and stiff 
and of medium height. Grain bright, plump and heavy 
Head 14 to IS inches long, branching and containing two or 
three times as many Oats asany other. Head from which 
our cut was made contained 348 grains. Grows quickly and 
ripens early, before severe drouths can ruin the crop. Never 
rusts. Its great quality, however, is its enormous produc¬ 
tiveness. With equal chance it will outyield Welcome. 
White Russian and Probate, 40 to 50 per cent. This fact is 
proven beyond all question of doubt by the extensive trials 
which have been made all over the country. Kxtracts from 
a few of these reports are here published. Will be the only 
Oat grown in a few years. Read what is said of it: 
"I ha ve threshed the Early Siberian Oats, and received 
from one bushel sowing 66 bushels and 10 lbs. They are a 
very white Oat. with long, large berry. They stooled out 
good, stood up straight, and were as nice looking Oats grow¬ 
ing as I ever sa w. 1 am well pleased with them. 
A. J. Harding, Kalamazoo Co., Mich. 
" I threshed the Early Siberian Oats yesterday, and mnst 
say that I am highly pleased with the results. I sowed the 
one bushel you sent me on three-fourths of an acre, and 
threshed 71 bushels, machine measure. X think this heats 
all. G. W. Riley, Lenawee Co., Mich.” 
•'We threshed the Early Siberian Oats August 28tb. 
They were sown on less than three-fourths acre of ground, 
and yielded 60 bushels, machine measure, and they overrun 
in weight, making over *0 bushels per acre. 
Samuel C. Ford, Sk.. Wayne Co., Mich." 
"Early Siberian Oats, from one bushel, sown _ 
half acre’, threshed 32 husliels, machine measure, and 
weighed out 34, at the rate of 68 bushels per acre. M y Ran- 
ner Oats on the same laud and same chance, went only 27 
bushels per acre. Geo. Stottle, Monroe Co,. N. Y.” 
"I have threshed the Early Siberian Oats and 
bushels, grown from one bushel of seed, sown on three- 
fourths of an acre of ground, which is equivalent to 66 bush¬ 
els per acre. Fred Stoi.z. Wayne Co., N. Y.” 
"I sowed the bushel of Early Siberian Oats that T got 
of vou on five-eighths of an acre, and threshed ten. bushels 
of 40 lbs., equivalent to 125 bushels per acre of 33 lbs. Straw 
„ud grain very good. H. B. Eaton, Lenawee Co., Mich.” 
" I have Just threshed the Early Siberian Oats, and find 
I have 64 hushels from three-fourths of an acre. I am satis¬ 
fied that if sown at the rate of two bushels per acre they 
would have yielded 100 bushels. 
JOHN P. Schwab, Leuaweo Co., Mich. 
" I sowed the bushel of Oats on three-fourths acre of 
ground I had 06 bushels, or 88 bushels per acre. 1 neither 
fertilized nor manured the ground on which they grew.
