olden Heauty 
We sowed our Golden Beauty brand of Clinton 
Oats next to certified Clintons and they looked 
like a different variety of oats. The soil was the 
same but the Golden Beauty stood about six inches 
higher in the field. Many farmers have told us 
that our Golden Beauty brand of Clintons were the 
best oats that they had on their farm compared 
with any others. 
The Clinton oats are well known for their strong 
straw and their ability to stand up even after the 
grain is dead ripe. They have proven themselves 
adapted to a wide range of soil conditions and they 
are highly disease resistant. They resist smut and 
most races of rust and then, of course, they are 
resistant to blight. We have yet to hear from a 
farmer who grew our Golden Beauty, who was not 
thoroughly pleased with it and found it highly 
profitable to grow. 
This year good seed oats are scarce and there is 
a very heavy demand for oats. We could sell this 
Golden Beauty Brand without grading it so heavily 
but we know that our process helps you to get 
bigger yields. We eliminate the small weak and 
immature kernels, you get the largest grains that 
make big healthy, vigorous stands. Golden Beauty 
goes even further than certified requirements in 
grading. Shipment is guaranteed to please you.

Andrew was developed in Minnesota and is a cross of Bond and 
Rainbow having. the same disease resistance as most other Bond de- 
_rivatives. The Andrew generally heads out about a week earlier than 
the Clinton however, it matures rather slowly and is usually ready for harvest 
at about the same time. The kernel is white colored and the straw grows one 
or two inches taller. Yields have been consistently high on the Andrew. Ina 
two-year test at the State Experiment Station at Urbana, Illinois, Andrew out- 
| yielded all others, with the exception of one experimental variety. The aver- 
§ age yield of Andrew was 84.9 bushels per acre. 
This oat has sometimes been known as the old workhorse of Oats through- 
out Missouri and Southern Iowa, and they are adapted,to a much wider area 
as explained, it is of Minnesota Origin, but because ofits earliness, they like 
| it farther south. It gets out of the way of hot weather that is oftentimes dam- 
@ aging. In one test reported to us, it yielded 65 bushels to the acre, compared 
— to other varieties 30 to 32 bushels. This indicates its splendid quality. For 
| a good all around variety, the Andrew is an excellent variety to choose, 
We consider it as one of the best varieties for central and northern IIli- 
nois and other areas of similar conditions. Certified seed is available in larger 
| quantities this year than last and we urge you to try this outstanding new Oat, 
Geswere who produced Andrews the last two years are enthusiastic and most 
seem to be of the opinion that it is better than Clinton in yielding ability.

The regular chemical treatment of oats is nothing new. 
Our regular Gro-Coat treatment that we use on grasses 
and clover seeds is not entirely suitable for seed oats, but 
we have now a special treatment giving us a combination 
of chemicals plus the root growth stimulant which we can 
now apply on the small grain. If you will read pages 1, 8, 
9 and 16 of this circular, you will know the great value of 
Gro-Coated brand seed. Thousands of our customers already 
know what a tremendous difference it has made in their 
stands and the growth of their plants. 
Therefore, we are very happy that we can now offer you 
seed grain also Gro-Coated which brings you this grain 
already to sow and treated with what we consider to be 
the very finest protection to make our oats give you 
greater assurance of better stands and larger yields.

You Get Only the Meaty Kernels 
Most seed oats are cleaned over clipper mills. 
They screen out some oats and blow out chaff. 
That’s all right as far as it goes but it doesn’t 
go far enough. There are still kernels of light 
weight that have to be taken out to make top 
quality. That requires a different machine. 
Short kernels should come out. That takes a 
still different machine. Our seed oats go 
through all these processes. That shrinks the 
original seed severely but it produces a quality 
that is truly tops. Such seed proves its superior- 
ity in the fields. These big heavy kernels make 
- strong vigorous plants. Such plants can yield 
more grain. That adds up to extra profits for 
you. There is real economy in seed of this char- 
acter. 
This variety of oats resembles the Cherokee very much. It is also 
a D-69 by Bond cross. However, the straw grows about 2 inches taller. 
It has about the same maturity, the same disease resistance and yield- 
ing ability as the Cherokee. It is preferred by quite a few farmers, 
however, because it has a little taller straw. This is especially an ad- 
vantage on thinner type of land. The straw head of course, will vary 
somewhat as to the fertility of the soil. 
The original cross of this variety was made in Iowa, but the 
strain was named and distributed by the Michigan experiment station. 
The heavy meaty kernels of the Bonham certainly appeal to all oat 
growers. With a little taller straw and a very heavy grain, it is a 
variety that has a wide appeal. We have grown these oats ourselves 
and have supervised them from planting time until they got the Gro- 
Coat protection and put them in the bags. That means this seed went 
through 5 distinct separate cleaning and grading and treating oper- 
ations, whereas most oats go through only one. We have some splen- 
did seed for you and we will be most happy to receive your order and 
to supply you with seed that we are confident will give you a very 
high degree of satisfaction. 
Prices f.o.b. all points, including Boone, la.: 3 to 15 bushels, 
$2.95 per bushel; 16 to 45 bushels, $2.90 per bushel.
