Choice Northern Grown Seed Oats CLEANED 
NEW WASHINGTON OATS 
GOLDEN FLEECE OATS 
This splendid oat was first introduced in 1901, and 
hundreds of our customers have written us of its merits. It 
is, without doubt, one of the heaviest croppers, with possibly 
the exception of the New Washington, described above. 
The grains are white, plump and handsome. The straw is 
very strong and stands up well. The blade is double the 
size of ordinary oats, which attests the vigor and productive 
capacity of the strain. On account of its heavy stooling 
property, 6 pecks (1J bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre. 
Price, per lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c., by mail, postpaid; by 
freight or express, peck, 46c.; legal bush. (32 lbs.), $1.40; 
sack of 3 legal bush. (96 lbs.), $2.70; 10 bush, and over, 
$1.30 per busn., sacks included.

oughly tested in different sections and is highly spoken of.

constitution, is quite early and an immense cropper; straw 
being long and stout, stands up w'ell and does not readily 
lodge. The kernels are of large size, thick, plump and heavy.

The seed of this new white oat was 
first procured from Professor Carlton, 
of the U. S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture, who pronounced them at the head 
of the Oat kingdom. 
Prof. Moore, at experimental sta¬ 
tion, says: “New, heaviest, thinnest 
hull, stiffest straw, bestofthirty-six va¬ 
rieties ; weight, 36 to 40 lbs. measured 
bushel.” A small field of 3 acres 
yielded 227 bushels. Our grower in 
Ontario County, N. Y., says : “ They 
are the finest oats we have ever grown ; 
straw 4 to 5 feet tall; many heads 10 to 
12 inches long (as shown in our photo¬ 
graph alongside); they do not rust; 
stand up well; the plump meats make 
it the greatest of all oats.” One of the 
largest and most experienced oatgrow- 
ers in Chester County, Pa., says: “ Its 
wonderful productiveness is far beyond 
what the most enthusiastic farmers in 
this section ever expected to realize.” 
Another says: “Twenty bushels per 
acre more than Welcome or Lincoln.” 
Another grower says : “ The best oats 
we have ever grown ; about one week 
earlier than others ; stand up well; do 
not rust; yield over 90 bushels per acre.”
