DIBBLE’S 
The Heaviest American Oat Grown 
While in search of new varieties of Oats of value in the Northwest, 
where the best Oats are grown, we found, in Wyoming, several fields of a 
new variety with tall, stiff straw standing shoulder high and the heaviest 
American Oat grown. When these fields were threshed, the yield was over 
100 bushels per acre and the weight over 45 pounds per measured bushel 
of pure white, thin-hulled grain. We purchased the entire lot, and from 
this source secured our stock seed of this, in our opinion, the heaviest and 
most productive American Oat. This was some twenty years ago. During 
that time we have distributed over 600,000 bushels to our customers, and, 
wherever grown, it has given wonderful yields in comparison with other 
varieties grown alongside: Around 100 bushels to the acre in New Jersey; 
117 bushels in New England; in New York, on large areas, 80, 82, 87, 89, 
92, and up to 106 bushels, where the average yield is 30 bushels; and in 
Ohio, crops averaging “just twice” the yield of common Oats have been 
reported to us by our customers. 
We were fortunate in having our Oats grown in a locality 
where weather conditions were favorable for growth and har¬ 
vesting. Therefore we have an excellent quality to offer our 
customers. In many sections of the country unfavorable 
weather conditions caused small yields of very light Oats that 
are not fit for seed. 
Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats have made wonderful yields 
for a large number of our customers in many states. We read 
of remarkable records and big yields of Oats in the western 
states, under irrigation, but right here, in the East, Dibble’s 
Heavyweight Oats have produced record-breaking crops. 
Average weight 40 lbs. per measured bushel.

are sold subject to the following guarantee 
We guarantee our Seed Oats thoroughly recleaned by the 
best mills known to the trade, and in first-class condition for 
sowing. Keep our Seed Oats ten days, test them, and if not 
entirely satisfactory in every way, return them at once and 
get your money back. 
We use all reasonable care in packing and sending out our 
Seed Oats, but as so many circumstances may arise after they 
leave our possession, over which we have no control, we do 
not guarantee, nor will we be responsible for the crop grown 
from any of our seeds. 
Owing to the extra-heavy weight of these Oats, not less 
than 3 bushels should be sown per acre. For prices, see 
special Price-List.

year.— Walter S. Hurlbut, Middlebury, Vt., January 25, 1937. 
We are very pleased with the results obtained from Dibble’s 
Heavyweight Oats. The season was rather prohibitive, but a good 
yield was realized, nevertheless.— Frank Drais, Gettysburg, Pa., 
R. 2, September 19, 1937.
