freight, at buyers expense. Per peck, 75c.; per bushel, $2-50. NeW Winter Oat, Wiflter T*irf. This hardy, robust Winter Oat for fall sowing is worthy the attention of every farmer. Itis enormously productive, as many as 150 strong stems having been counted growing fromone stool and bearing 6,342 grains, all from one seed. Sow as you would winter wheat or rye,in September, and it will afford the finest-winter pasture which it is possible to have, andyet give an enormous crop of grain, which ripens early, before it can be injured by dryweather. The straw grows to the height of four or five feet, with enormous heads of grain,a foot in length. Grain large, plump, and exceedingly heavy. We believe it will yield asmuch to the acre as any other Oat, and that it will supersede all other kinds. Price per pkt., 10c.: lb., 30c: 3 lbs., 75c, peck,$1.25. By mail or express, prepaid. By express or freight at buyers expense. 75c. per peck ; $2.50 per bushel. 42 JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, N. Y.
