“SHADELAND ECLIPSE” OATS 
Anyone who likes to grow a side oats will like this variety. . . . 
Only thing we don’t like to say about it is that the supply is very 
small. ... It won’t last long. 
Shadeland Eclipse has been living up to its name, by eclipsing 
its competitors. Out in its home country, Oregon, it has made the 
amazing record in 126^/2 bushels-per-acre yield, on a 14-acre field. 
Certainly such yields could not be again expected of any oats. 
But 90 to 95 bushel yields have been made and the hundred- 
bushel mark passed some other times. 
This year’s seed is extra heavy, white, plump. Is free from any 
great admixture of other varieties, and is clean of foul weeds. 
Shadeland Eclipse grows vigorously—is early. Heads grow large, 
very large, and fill uniformly. Heavy grain with thin hull. 
Straw grows to good length, and stands up well. 
Supply is so small, that we ask this favor of you. If it should 
be all sold when your order arrives, may we send another variety 
instead of Eclipse? Please state on your order. 
“We are well pleased with the yield of 83J4 bu. 
an acre of your Shadeland Climax Oats.”

“PEERLESS” OATS 
Here is an Oats for those who want something good 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 well cleaned and sound—free of weeds—strong in germination.
