42 ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 

CERTIFIED OATS 
1% to 2 bu. will sow 1 acre 
All Certified Oats are treated with Ceresan before shipment. 
Mohawk and Clinton have practically taken over where an early short straw variety is wanted. Advance is 
recommended in some dairy sections where a variety is wanted for straw. These varieties are highly resistant to 
blight and most of the strains of rust. 
| ADVANCE: A new oat released by The Cornell Plant 
Breeding Department in 1949. It is a medium early 
' oat, being from two to four days later than Mohawk 
and 4 to 6 inches taller, it has a stiffer straw than the 
common tall midseason oats although not so stiff as 
that of Mohawk. In yield, Advance is comparable 
to Mohawk and Clinton. It is also highly resistant 
to Helminthosporium blight and resistant to all 
prevalent races of rust except Race 45 crown (leaf) 
rust. Advance is adapted to all oat growing areas of 
the State, but is especially recommended to those 
dairymen desiring more straw than that provided by - 
Mohawk and Clinton. The Advance variety should 
primarily be used by the Northern New York and hill 
dairy farmer. Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu. $2.50 per bu.; 
15 or more $2.40 per bu., not prepaid. 
MOHAWK: A new variety of yellow kernelled oats 
developed by the Cornell Department of Plant 
Breeding. Mohawk is about 3 inches taller than 
Vicland and matures a few days later. It is resistant 
to crown rust and to the new blight that causes so 
much damage to our oat crops. In addition to 
being disease resistant, Mohawk has a very stiff 
straw and stands much better than most other varie- 
ties. In seven New York State regional trials the 
average yield of Mohawk was 85% bushels per acre. 
Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu, $2.50 per Dialer 
more $2.40 per bu., not prepaid. 
CLINTON 59: A new high yielding, early maturing 
variety. Clinton 59 is a reselected strain of Clinton 
showing more uniformity in growth and maturity. 
In comparative tests conducted by the New York 
State College of Agriculture, Mohawk seems to 
be a little better adapted to the state than Clinton.
