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 (11 bushels) is sufficient to seed an acre. 
Price, per lb., 25c.; 3 lbs., 60c., by mail, postpaid; by 
freight or express, peck, 4Jc.; legal bush. (32 lbs.), $1.40; 
sack of 3 legal bush. (96 lbs.), $4.00 ; 10 bush, and over, 
$1 25 per bush., sacks included.

NEW WASHINGTON 
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 
hulljStiffest straw, best of thirty-six va¬ 
rieties ; weight, 36 to 40 lbs. measuied 
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 overgrown ; 
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 oat grow¬ 
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 bushelsperacre.”
