are sold subject to the 
following guarantee 
We guarantee our Seed Oats thor¬ 
oughly 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 guaran¬ 
tee, 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.

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 heavi¬ 
est 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 aver¬ 
aging “just twice” the yield of common Oats have been reported to 
us b}'^ our customers. 
We were fortunate in having our Oats grown In a locality where 
weather conditions were favorable for growth and harvesting. There¬ 
fore we have an excellent quality to offer our customers. 
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 pounds per measured bushel.

LENROC 
Lenroc Is a new variety of Oat introduced by the Cornell Uni¬ 
versity Agricultural Experiment Station. The plant breeders at Cornell 
were endeavoring to produce white Oats that had the high-yielding 
ability of the Cornellian. This was accomplished by crossing Great 
American with Cornellian In 1918, and for seventeen years this Oat 
was tested in various localities for yield, stiffness of straw, and other 
desirable characteristics before it was introduced in 1935. 
Lenroc is midseason in maturing and is the highest yielding Oat 
that has been developed at Cornell. It has a large plump white kernel 
and all the characteristics of a desirable Oat, either for feeding or for sale. 
I had very fine crops of wheat, oats, 
and barley this year and cannot recom¬ 
mend your seeds too highly.— Fred 
Dornbusch, R. D. 1, Delhi, N. Y., 
August 16, 1939. 
All seeds and Potatoes from your place 
last year did very well for me. Special 
mention should be given the Heavy¬ 
weight Oats. They averaged five feet in 
height, were well filled out and did not 
lodge.—R. C. Gregory, Granton, N. Y., 
January 3, 1938. 
We are very pleased with the results 
obtained from Dibble’s Heavyweight 
Oats. The season was rather prohibitive, 
but a good yield was realized, neverthe¬ 
less.— Frank Drais, Gettysburg, Pa., 
R. 2, September 19, 1937. 
CORNELLIAN 
Cornellian was introduced by the Cornell Agricultural Experiment 
Station about twenty years ago. It has proved to be a heavy and 
consistent yielder and is especially well suited to soils of ordinary fer¬ 
tility. The kernels are more slender than those of other varieties and 
lack awns or beards, but in spite of their apparently small size, the meat 
is actually larger than that of most Oats, for the hull is very thin. The 
normal color of the kernel is gray and will vary from light gray to dark 
gray, depending on the soil and season. As a commercial Oat this 
dark color is somewhat objectionable but for feeding on the farm it is 
of no importance. Cornellian’s high meat percentage gives it a distinct 
advantage as a feed for stock and poultry and its high-yielding ability 
makes it a favorite with those who have planted it.
