A Splendid Heavy Oat 
If you want the biggest grained, heaviest 
testing oat of all get some of our Victory 
Oats. It is the largest grained variety we 
have ever seen. Big, plump bright grains. 
Often weighs 40 to 42 lbs. per measured 
bushel. We tested the Victory oats we have 
in stock with one of the smaller berried va¬ 
rieties. There were 1.85 times as many ker¬ 
nels in the smaller seed. Consider what that 
means in the terms of extra hulls, almost 
twice as many grains in the smaller seeds. 
WeTl gladly send you a sample of these 
Victory Oats so you can see for yourself their 
amazing size and extra fine quality. You can 
order them with the distinct understanding 
that you will receive one of the finest and 
most beautiful shipments of oats you ever 
had on your farm. If they disappoint you 
just write us for shipping instructions and a 
prompt refund of your money plus freight 
charges. 
Northwestern Seed Stock 
These oats command a premium on the mar¬ 
ket. There is a heavy freight rate on the 
seed from the Northwestern territory where 
they are produced. Many farmers want new 
heavier seed and you certainly can’t find it 
heavier than these. The records of produc¬ 
tion that this variety has made are most im¬ 
pressive and it has taken many prizes at grain 
shows. First prize International Livestock 
show in 1938. 
Variation in seasonal conditions will nat¬ 
urally effect production and quality. With a 
relatively cool growing season it certainly 
has gone to town. They are not an early va¬ 
riety. The straw is of good length yet has 
strength to resist lodging. The heads are 
sprangled and when heavily laden with these 
oversize grains it is certainly a profitable 
harvest to gather. 
In Big Demand 
This Victory Oat has been a big seller with 
us. The seed sells itself through its appear¬ 
ance. Naturally the cost is somewhat higher 
than of the earlier kinds more commonly 
grown. Extra production may readily absorb 
this and give you extra profit besides. We are 
sure that once you see what these oats are 
like you will not be satisfied until you have 
secured some of the seed. Let us send you a 
sample. See for yourself. See page 41 for 
prices. 
GREAT NORTHERN 
A Large White Variety 
Great Northern is the name we have given to a fine Swedish Select Type Oat. They are 
not as large as Big Victory but having a somewhat earlier maturity may, under certain con¬ 
ditions outyield it. The meaty kernels have both length and thickness. They are far heavier 
than the average run. It is not surprising that their production may often be so amazing. 
The straw is longer than the average yet stands up well. The straw growth is naturally 
influenced by soil and season. Not only does it have excellent yielding qualities, it also is 
a superior kind to use as a hay crop. Cut in the dough stage it makes wonderful feed. It is 
as a grain producer, however, that most of our customers use these oats. They yield 
heavily. 
We secure northern grown stock for our seed as we consider that very definitely superior 
in quality and production. This seed is recleaned stock. Light small grains are removed 
giving a heavy cleaned product that is certainly worth the premium it costs. Real thrifty 
buyers appreciate seed of this character. 
Some customers report that they sold most of their first crop of Great Northern oats for 
seed in their neighborhood at a premium price. We, of course, guarantee to ship you seed 
that will show up to your entire satisfaction. You can return any shipment that doesn’t 
look right to you. See guarantee page 6. Send your seed oat orders early especially for Big 
Victory and Great Northern.
