THE QRE0T flPlH OUTS Are the Kind of Oats to Grow for Sure Groppin&. IHEAVY, PLIT3IP GRAINS WITH LARGE PER CENT OF MEAT AND SMALL PER CENT OF HULL; STIFF STRAW THAT WILL SAVE THE CROP UNTIL HARVESTED; HEAD LONG, HEAVY, FULL. The Great American Oats are noted for vigorous growth and droughts do not effect them as much as less vigorous varieties. The grain is large, white, plump, with thin hull, running much over weight with ordinary thresher cleaning. On account of large per cent, of meat in the kernel, they are well suited for oat meal and other oat products. We Unreservedly Recommend ftie Great Mean OatS. They will yield from 65 to over 100 bushels per acre in ordi- nary farm cultivation, and more under very favorable conditions. *We don't ask you to build your hopes on 200 to 1,000 bushels per acre, as you will see claims in some other catalogues. We be- lieve we are dealing with intelligent people, and they realize that such yields are impossible. "We aim to gain and hold the confi- dence of farmers everywhere; then will we realize the height of our ambition; when our celebrated 0. K. Seeds are planted on every farm in the country. Have you decided to devote part of the farm to the GREAT AMERICAN OATS? It is one of the ways to make farming pay. Who would not rather grow a pure, true heavy oats in prefer- ence to the mixed, light, chaffy kinds grown on many farms? Farmers are doing a good business now, and now is the time to look to quality and quantity of their crops, so that prosperity may not diminish, but increase. Farmers who sow Great Am- erican Oats take out an insurance policy on their crop. fi^*We have a very fine crop of these Oats this year and want to sell some to every farmer whosends us an order. Include a small or large quantity in your order. We will guarantee satisfaction or refund your money if you are not pleased and benefited by growing the Great American Oats. We ask as a special favor that each grower report his yield after threshing. Price, by mail, large pkt. 10c, 1 qt. 30c, 4 qts. 85c. By freight or express, K t>u. 30c, 1 bu. $1.00, 3 bu.

Are medium early; good straw. When these oats were first introduced a few years ago, seven prizes were offered for the largest yields from one bushel of seed. While such tests are not of much value as an indication of what a variety will do with usual farm cultiva- tion, yet the fact that the average of the seven tests was 116 bushels and the largest yield'from a bushel 174 bu., shows that this is a verv prolific variety. PRICE—Large pkt. 10c, 1 qt. 30c, 4 qts. 85c, by mail. By freight or ex- press, yi bu. 30c, bu. $1.00, 3 bu. or more at 90c per bu.
