N. B Q CO 'S 1 ,INCOLN OAT From the list of Prize Winners £iven above it will be seen that the total yield from the 7 bushels of seed was 817 Bushels 21 lbs., or an average of over 11<$ bushels from each bushel sown. In introducing this Oat we made the following claims, and of- fered seven cash premiums amounting to .$5O0 for the largest yield from a single bushel of seed: First—That the Lincoln Oat has produced one-third more than any other variety grown in the same localities. Second—It is very early. Third—It has thus far proven itself entirely rust-proof. Fourth—It stands up better than any other sort. Fifth—It is best for feeding on account of its thin hull, heavy meat and soft nib. Sixth—It is best for oatmeal or grinding for the same reasons. How well our claims were substantiated is shown by the many flattering expressions received from those who bought the seed. Perhaps the strongest testimony lies in the fact that out of the many who grew them in all parts of ths United States we have not received one unfavorable opinion or adverse criticism. PRICE, lb., io cts.; peck, 35 cts.; bushel, 80 cts.; 2 bushels, $1.50; sacks included. THE NEGRO WONDER OAT. There has of late years been a lively demand for a good Black or Gray Oat, bui those sent out by the trade generally nave not given the best of satisfaction, owing to the fact that, as 11 rule. Black Oats seem to he deficient In strength of straw. This difficulty seems to have been entirely ver- come In the Neero Wonder. It Is the earliest Oat on earth; being so earlv. the crop fully matures before the hot suns effect it. It. has ouiyielded all other sorts with which It has come In competition, un- der ordinary farm cultivation. Korseveral years it has yielded from ten to twenty bushels per acre more than any other. This Oat will stand up on any soil, no matter how rich: In fact, this Is one of the strongest claims we make for this sort. Nothing short of a tornado or a cyclone will lodge them. The straw Is fine, but very strone: stools a great deal. Average height 42 Inches; about 2.000 Ids straw to the acre. It was one of the very few that gave loo per cent, standing grain when harvested, has a lurger percentage of kernel In the berry than any other In the market This makes it decidedly valuable for feeding. The Negro Wonder may properly he called a Gray Oat, and lo those who want an Oat of this character, we strong- ly recommend Its purchase. Price lb.. lOcts.; peck. 35 cts.; bushel, 80 cts.: 2 bushel. 61.50. Bags included. IMPROVED WELCOME. This has become a standard va- riety, and Is valuable for Its earliness and productiveness. It Is not as good for feeding as some other sorts, owine to the thickness of bail, etc. Nevertheless, Its other excellent qualities entitle It to prominence. Price, lb.. 10 cts.; peck. 35 cts.; bushel, 80 cts; 2bush- els. SI.50; 10 bushels at 60 cts. Baes Included. WHITE RUSSIAN. The original stock of White Russian Oats was really a capital Oat. and sprung Immediately into great favor. Of late years it has become badly mixed and de'erlo ated, through not being properly grown. Largely through the efforts of a customer of ours in Dakota, we are able to offer the White Russian In Its old time purity. It Is a well established fact that the true White Russian Is as nearly ru-t proof as any Oat can well be and we are confident that many will hail Its re-introduction with satisfac- tion. Price, lb.. 10 eta.! peck, 35 cts.; bushel. 75 cts; 10 bushels at 65 cts. Bags Included. EARLY ARCHANGEL. NOTE. This Oat has fully sustained every claim made for it. It has never failed to give perfect satls- tlon. The original stock of this Oat was obtained from Archangel, a hamlet in the north of Russia. :in<) since Its introduction to ihis country has been grown with great success It has proven Itself to be absolutely the earliest Oat yet introduced; it Is a heavy ylelder, does well on light soil, and Is a most satisfactory Oat In all respects. Its principal attraction Is its extra- earliness; and by this quality it escapes many of the Ills which Oats are heir to. The straw is si Iff, well glazed, and erect. The grain Its 'If is plump. heavy, exceeding- ly wliile. and of evcellent feeding quality. The seed we offer Is our own growth from the original stock. Price, lb . 10 cts.; peck. 35 cts.; bush., 80 cts.;'2 bush., S1.50; 10 bush, at 65 cts. Bags Included. GOLDEN GIANT SIDE OATS, excite wonder WHKRKVKR SEEN. NOTE. This is not an early Oat. but in other respecis Is one of the most remarkable varleiles ever sent out. Every- one who sees the Oats grow in.' wants some of them. We again brinj this Oat to the notice of our patrons with the assurance that those who test it will find it in some respects the most remarkable Oat of recent Introduction The heads frown under ordinary conditions vary from 12 to 18 inches In length, and usually contain from 200 to 30O grains bv actual count. They stool freely, and while they are not an early va iety. for size of grain and head and enormous ylejding quality, they by far surpass any other variety with which we are acqu <inted. Price, lb., 10 cts.; peck,85 cts.; bu.. 75 cts; 2 bu., S1.40; 10 bu. at 65 cts. Bags Included. r ' v v \r w w w w w u Tom j »r»»Ti We submit as a strai ht, plain, bus ness proposition to which all thinking, Intelligent farmers will accede, that a CHANGE OF SEED from ft the proper source is not only a TRUE PRINCIPI E but an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY in SUCCRSSFUL farming. Another principle equally well P established is, the FURTHER NORTH seeds can be grown In their full development, the BETTER they are. The Northwest is famous for Its f cereals, and we have taken such advantage of our location as to become the LARGEST GROWERS in these lines of any house in the United 3 p States. We ask our customers to CONSIDER THESE FACTS, AND EXAMINE OUR PRICES. tf IF WANTED BY MAIL, ADD 8 CTS. PER LB. TO PAY POSTAGE.
