SEED OATS 
"PATTERSON OATS" 
Patterson is a variety developed at Penn 
State. Has been tried very successfully 
throughout the state. Many farmers now 
grow Patterson to the exclusion of all other 
oats. The many experimental plantings show 
Patterson a leader in heavy yield. One 14 - 
year test it stood first—its average yield be¬ 
ing 63.9 bushels per acre. The straw grows 
tall. Has good stiff qualities. The grain is 
light yellow in color—not extra heavy—but 
very thin hull, almost all of the grain being 
inside kernel. Ripens in mid-season. The 
man selecting Patterson will be sowing a 
proven oats—dependable for use through¬ 
out this area. 
"PEERLESS" SEED OATS 
Here is an oats- for those who want some¬ 
thing at a figure only a little above cost of 
feed oats. Pleasing reports come from users. 
’’Peerless” is a branching or tree oats— 
not the very earliest, but considered as an 
early sort. Ripens in mid-season. Our stocks 
are well cleaned and sound—free of weeds 
—strong in germination. 
“Threshed 65 bushels per 
acre of real nice oats. It had 
long stiff straw—stood up 
well (Shadeland Victory).”

Ohio. 
“We were well pleased 
with your Hybrid Corn. I 
wish you could have seen 
how this corn stood the dry 
weather. While our other 
com was drying up and 
dying, the Hybrid was grow* 
mg right along. I suppose 
this was on account of the 
heavy root system of the 
Hybrid. I did not see any 
other com in our neighbor¬ 
hood that stood the drought 
like it did. ... It yielded 
fully one-half more com to 
the acre than our own 
com.”—S. C. Scott , Wash¬
