CERTIFIED CLINTON 11 
NEW ILLINOIS SELECTION 
ties. 

HIGH YIELDING 
In one test in Illinois during 1947 and 1948 an average 
yield of 92.5 bu. per acre was obtained, 
with a higher percentage of erect 
plants at harvest time than all other 
varieties tested. Uniformity in height 
and maturing together with higher 
yielding ability are the main advan- 
tages of the Clinton 11. A greater de- 
gree of resistance to Helminthospo- 
rium Blight and most races of Crown 
Rust are other advantages of the 
Clinton 11. 
The extra yields and other superior 
features of the Clinton 11 are more 
than worth the small difference in 
price. We do not recommend planting 
over 2 bu. per acre as the Clinton ie 
stools freely. Matures about the same 
time as Clinton 59. Our seed is Blue 
Tag Certified. 
“°° HEAVY 
NORTHERN 
NEW VARIETY—CERTIFIED 
Our Beaver Oats are Canadian Certified. 
This is your assurance that you will get the 
best seed obtainable as certification require- 
ments in Canada in most cases are more exact- 
ing than in this country. 
The Beaver Oat was first introduced in Can- 
ada in 1945 and this is the first time that this 
seed has been available in sufficient quantities 
to offer it at reasonable prices. The straw 
_ strength of the Beaver is superior to other 
Canadian varieties such as Erban and Van- 
guard. The kernel size is 
large and test weights are 
heavy. Under normal condi- 
tions in Canada the Beaver 
will mature in 83 days; how- 
_ever, in this country they ma- 
ture in about 80 days. 

"Your Seeds Free from Weeds" 
Marion, Ohio. 
I bought seed from the American Field Seed Co, for 
20 years because your seeds are large and plump. Your 
seeds are clean and free from weed seed. We get prompt 
service. Many times we had delivery In 386 hours. 







This is the new improved Illinois selection 
of Clinton, released in 1948 in limited quanti- 
Like the Clinton 59, it embodies all the 
desirable characteristics of the original Clin- 
ton plus several new improvements both in 
plant type and yielding ability. The Clinton 
11 has shown better results in comparative 
tests in the northern half of Illinois. However, it is adapted 
throughout the Oat producing area of the middle west.

HEAVY NORTHERN TYPE— 
MEDIUM MATURING 
Beaver is resistant to races 1, 2, 8, 5, 7, and 
12 of stem rust and is also resistant to mos 
races of crown rust. The Erban parent of Beaver 
is practically immune to both races of smut. — 
Beaver has been consistently high-yielding 
and has proven its superior yielding ability in 
a most emphatic manner.the past two years in 
comparative tests. Yields in excess of 100 bu. 
per acre have been reported. In 1948 Beaver 
out-yielded all other varieties tested at the Ur- 
bana, Illinois, Station, including Zephyr, Clin- 
ton, Cherokee, Advance, and several other ex- 
perimental varieties. This oat is similar in 
appearance to the heavy northern type but is 
greatly improved in plant type and yielding 
ability. Be the first in your neighborhood to 
raise Beaver Oats this year. We have only one 
car of this variety to offer.
