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 Heavy¬ 
weight Oats have produced record-breaking crops. Average weight 40 lbs. per 
measured bushel. ' F

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. 
All seeds and Potatoes from your place last year did very well for me. Special mention 
should be given the Heavyweight Oats. They averaged five feet in height, were well filled 
out and did not lodge.— R. C. Gregory, Granton, N. Y., January 3, 1938. 
Please send me your new price-list on seeds. I had good crops from the Corn, Oats, Grass

HEAVYWEIGHT 
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 
harvesting. Therefore we have an excel¬ 
lent quality to offer our customers.
