HENDERSON'S IMPORTED 
Clydesdale Oats 
THE MOST POPULAK HIGH - GRADE 
WHITE OAT IN THE UNITED STATES 
Early and Productive—Free from Disease—Does 
not Shell Out in Handling—And Weighs 
50 Pounds to the Measured Bushel 
Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly 
gained in popularity, until to-day it is the most popular High- 
Grade White Oat in the United States. The climate of America is 
unsuited to the production and maintenance of the highest grade 
of Oats, and unless a heavy imported Oat be used for seed 
purposes at least every second or third year, they become light, 
’’chaffy,” inferior in quality and unprofitable. The ultimate finan¬ 
cial benefit accruing to the American farmers by the annual distri¬ 
bution of several thousand bushels of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats 
cannot be overestimated. These Oats weigh naturally 50 lbs. per 
measured bushel, and they deteriorate in weight only from three to 
four lbs. each year they are grown here, so that the produce is worth 
for seed purposes at least double the market value of ordinary 
Oats. No other Oat can show such a record—75 to 100 bushels per 
acre, and double the usual quantity of straw. Another most im¬ 
portant advantage of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats to the farmer is 
the fact that they have been thoroughly cleaned by the latest and 
most improved machinery, and are absolutely free from foreign and 
weed seeds. Sow 3 bushels per acre. ( See cut.)

In the “Ohio Fanner," Mr. J. T. Hickman, of the Ohio Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station, states that samples of Henderson's Clydes¬ 
dale Oats and Clydesdale Oats procured from other sources have shown, 
in a series of experiments, in favor of Henderson's Clydesdale. He 
also states that the average yield of Clydesdale Oats procured from other 
sources was something like nine bushels per acre below the results ob¬ 
tained from Henderson s Clydesdale. 
"Strong points in favor of your Clydesdale Oats is their'.resi stance to 
disease. They do not shatter or shell out in the field while handling 
and their percentage of hull is below the average .” 
FRANK A. SPRAGG, East Lansing, Mich. 
"I had a fine crop of your Imported Clydesdale Oats this year. They 
stood 5 feet G inches high, and in many places higher. They headed out 
nicely. / thrashed 10 acres of them and had 531 bushels of as fine 
quality oats as I have seen in the country." 
JOHN WILSON, Walpole, Mass. 
Long s White Tartar Oats 
THE IDEAL SIDE OAT FOR THE AMERICAN FARMER 
The earliest, heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Side Oat in cultivation. It is suit¬ 
able for all soils; of robust and vigorous constitution, is remarkably early and an immense 
cropper; the straw is long and stout, stands up well and does not readily lodge or twist. 
The heads measure from 8 to 1014 inches, and the kernels are of immense size, thick, plump 
and heavy, and is undoubtedly the heaviest cropping domestic white Oat ever offered. 
Its extreme earliness, great length and strength of straw, thick, plump grains and the 
heavy yields it is capable of producing give Long’s White Tartar all the necessary quali¬ 
fications which go to make an ideal Oat. Sow 3 bushels per acre. ( See cut.)

“/ bought the seed of Long's White Tartar Oats from you; they are very fine, yielding 82 
bushels and 11 pounds per acre.” R. S. CLARK, Maple Shade, Dillsburg, Pa. 
“/ send you herewith a sample of Long's White Tartar Oats—resulting from the seed 1 
purchased from you this spring. I planted about J t 5 acres and threshed out over 2,000 bushels. 
All the farmer sin my vicinity say it was the finest crop of oats ever raised in Dutchess County .”

IMPORTED STORM KING OATS 
We have pleasure recommending this true White Tartarian or Side Oat. It is a heavy 
cropper; the grain is short, plump, thin skinned and of the highest feeding value. The 
straw as its name implies is very strong and stiff enabling it to resist the severest weather. 
The average weight of the grain per measured bushel is 48 lbs. For several years we have 
distributed a limited quantity of Storm King Oats which has proven highly satisfactory. 
The repeated successful trials warrant us cataloging and recommending it. We advise 
every grower of Oats to try this variety. Sow 3 bushels per acre.

EARLY NEWMARKET OATS 
A grand new breed of English pedigree Oats of wonderfully vigorous growth, producing 
very early a heavy crop of unusually large, plump Oats, remarkable for their thinness 
of husk, which greatly adds to their feeding value. The straw is tall and strong, with¬ 
standing unfavorable weather well, and is practically immune from rust. For quality, 
earliness, vitality and productiveness the Early Newmarket Oat is unsurpassed. Sow 
3 bushels per acre.
