THE NEWEST IMPROVED VARIETY = 
e HIGHER YIELDS 
Clinton 59 comes from the same source as the original 
Clinton, and has many of the same characteristics. Every 
farmer who has raised Clinton Oats knows of the superior 
yielding ability, resistance to disease and many other advan- 
tages of the Clinton over the older varieties such as Vicland, 
Tama and Boone. The Clinton 59 combines all of these advan- 
tages with many new improvements. Earlier maturity, higher 
yield, uniform growth and plant characteristics are the main 
improvements of the Clinton 59. 
In resistance to helminthisporium blight, smut and rust 
the Clinton 59 is similar to the original Clinton. Because of 
the wide variance in climatic conditions and soil types it is 
best to compare a crop such as oats toa previously tested 
variety. In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the Clinton 59 have out- 
yielded all other varieties in both yield and quality in most 
tests. ; 
The Clinton 59 ripens uniformly throughout the field 
which is a definite advantage over the original Clinton since ~ 
they are inclined to ripen somewhat unevenly. Because of this 
undesirable characteristic the old Clinton could not be har- 

Also resistant to crown rust, smut and blight. 
Beaver is considered as an early variety maturing about the 
same time as the Clinton 59 but two or three days later than the 
Mindo. The grain is lighter colored and resembles the Vanguard fa- 
vorably in appearance. Be the first in your neighborhood to grow 
Beaver this year. 
These oats are high quality, high germinating seed, passed and registered by 
the Canadian Government. Their restrictions on certified and registered seed 
are very strict. Our special introductory offer on this new oat will save you 
money. Prices higher in the spring.

AJAX HEAVY NORTHERN OATS 
In 1945 and 1946 Ajax Oats outyielded Clinton, Bonda, Mindo 
and Vicland at four different experimental plots in Minnesota. They 
had a yield at one station of 112 bushels per acre. They are a heavy, 
white oat, disease resistant, stiff straw and grow about 4 inches 
taller than the Clinton. 
We have many customers who have always bought the heavy 
northern oats. Ajax is the same type oat but has many advantages 
over the older type Vanguard and Swedish types. It stands up well 
for combining and stools heavily. Our supply will not last long at 
these low prices.

Clinton 59 is an ideal oat for combining because of their un: 
form height and their ability to ripen uniformly. be. 
If you are still‘raising oats of the Victoria strain such as _ 
Boone, Tama and Vicland we highly recommend that you a 
switch to the Clinton 59 or other disease resistant varieties. 
All selections from the Victoria Strain are highly susceptible _ 
to blight and root-rot. The organisms which cause these dis- 
eases are found both on the seed and in the soil. Seed t2 tet 
ment will help, but the only sure preventative is to switch | 
soon as possible to resistant CERTIFIED CLINTON :
