Clydesdale Oats. 
THE MOST POPULAR HIGH - GRADE 
WHITE OAT IN THE UNITED STATES 
The climate of America is unsuited to the production and main¬ 
tenance 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 financial benefit to the American farmers by the annual distri¬ 
bution of several thousand bushels of HENDERSON’S IMPORTED 
CLYDESDALE OATS is inestimable. These oats weigh natur¬ 
ally 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 prqduce is worth for seed purposes at least double the 
market value of ordinary oats. We offer these oats for sale at the 
weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, exactly as grown for us in Britain, 
so that those purchasing will actually receive for every bushel 
over one and one-half bushels according to the American 
standard, which reduces the price of “The Clydesdale” to $1.44 
per standard bushel of 32 lbs. Another most important ad¬ 
vantage of Henderson’s Clydesdale Oats to the farmer is the fact, 
that they have been thoroughly cleaned by our most improved 
machinery and are absolutely free from weed seeds. ( See cut.)

In the “Ohio Farmer ," 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'8 Clydesdale. 
Long’S white tartar oats. 
THE IDEAL OAT FOR THE AMERICAN FARMER. 
The earliest heaviest and most prolific domestic-grown Oat in cultivation. It is suitable 
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 1(H 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. (See cut.) Price, 50c. pk., §1.60 bush, of 32 lbs.; 
10-bush, lots, §1.55 per bush.; 100-bush, lots, §1.50 per bush. 
“/ send you herewith a sample of Long's White Tartar Oats—resulting from the seed I 
purchased from you this spring. I planted about 45 acres and threshed out over 2,000 
bushels. All the farmers in my vicinity say it was the finest crop of oats ever raised in 
Dutchess County." MAURICE M. MINTON, Brinkerhoff, N. Y. 
11 It gives me pleasure to say that the men who have worked in the oats (Long's Tartar) raised 
from the seed I bought of you last year—both those who harvested them and those who threshed 
them—say they are the best oats they ever saw. A very large yield and exceptionally heavy and 
the straw is good too. They are considered remarkable around here."

“ Long's White Tartar Oats I got from you this spring were something grand."

DWARF ESSEX RAPE. 
Under favorable conditions Rape is ready for pasturing sheep 
or cattle within six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average 
one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks to two months. 
When on the Rape they should at all times have access to salt; 
but water is not necessary. In the Northern States it should be 
sown from May to the end of August for fall pasturing, but as it 
thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the South¬ 
ern States until September or October for winter pasture. In the 
latitude of New York, July or August is the best time to sow. Its 
fattening properties are probably twice as good as those of Clover, 
and for sheep the feeding value of Rape excels all other plants we 
know of. Sow 4 lbs. per acre broadcast. 2 to 3 lbs. per acre in drills. 
rSee cut.) Price 10c. lb., §3.75 bush, of 50 lbs., 100 lbs. §7.00. If 
^y mail, add 8c. lb. 
A T the Michigan Experiment Station, 
** 128 lambs were pastured for 8 weeks 
on 15 acres of Rape sown in July, and 
showed a gain of 2,890 lbs., or at the rate 
of 3 lbs. per lamb each week.
