XEW ZEALAND BEAUTT. FARM SEEDS. We offer a few very desirable Farm Seeds. Our New Zealand Oat, Golden Superb Corn and Early- Siberian Millet are great and valuable Novelties, worth thousands of dollars to the farmers of our country. Xc\V Zeolal>(1 Reality Oat. FOR SPRINC SOWING. A few years ago a custom-T in New Zealand sent us a small sample of an exceptionally handsome and heavy Oat.

It is i •( stout, rather short growth, not subject to " lodging." aud so early that it escapes severe droughts, therefore assuring a large crop every year. The grain is plump, heavy and exceedingly haudsome. We are satisfied that it is by all odds the most valuable Oat ever brought into the country. Pkt., 10c.; lb.. 40c.: 3 lbs.. $1.00. postpaid.

A hardy, robust winter Oat for fall sowing is indeed a novelty worthy the attention of every farmer in the land. It'is exceedingly heavy and enormously productive, as many a.* 150 strong stems having been counted growing from one stool and bearing 6.342 grains, all from one seed.

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 twice as much to the acre as any other Oat and that it will supersede all other kinds. Introduced by us a few years ago and has become famous.
