“SHADELAND ECLIPSE” 
OATS 
(Certified) 
“Si i'’ or “Horse-Mane” Type 
There a>-e always more people wanting this 
variety than our stocks can supply. This year’s 
stock is a little bigger than sometimes, 
but please don’t wait to order "Shadeland 
Eclipse.” We don’t like to disappoint any¬ 
body by being sold out. 
If you like to grow a side-type oats you 
certainly can’t help but like this one. 
"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% 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 100-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. 
“PATTERSON’' OATS (Certified) 
Many times we have wanted to offer you this fine variety. But the very 
limited supply prevented it. This year there is some of it here for early 
orders, but really just a small supply. 
Patterson is a variety developed at Penn State. Has been tried very 
successfully throughout the State. Many farmers now grow Patterson 
to the exclusion of all other oats. The many experimental plantings show 
Patterson a leader in heavy yield. One 14-year test it stood first—its 
average yield being 63.9 bushels per acre. The straw grows tall. Has 
good stiff qualities. The grain is light yellow in color—not extra heavy 
—but very thin hull, almost all of the grain being inside kernel. Ripens 
in mid-season. The man selecting Patterson from among these Hoffman 
varieties will surely be making no mistake. It is a proven oats, and 
dependable for use throughout this area. See Price List.
