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 opin¬ 
ion, 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 favor¬ 
able for growth and harvesting. Therefore 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. 
FREE SAMPLES ON REQUEST 
DIBBLE’S SEED OATS 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. 
LENROC • • • 
Lenroc is a new variety of Oat introduced by the Cornell University 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 Cor- 
nellian 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.

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 fertility. 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. 
Dibble’s Heavyweight Oats averaged 80 bushels to the acre for me this season.— Albert M. Anderegg, Jr., 
Verona, N. Y. 
I had very fine crops of wheat, oats, and barley this year and cannot recommend your seeds too highly.— 
Fred Dornbusch, R. D. 1, Delhi, N. Y. 
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.
