WILSON'S PROLIFIC SIDE OATS grow to a medium height, with a remarkably strong, stiff straw, which enables it to stand up under almost any circumstances. The heads, as can be seen by the accompanying illustration, are unusually long and heavily loaded with fine, plump grains. The grain is noted for its remarkably thin husk and fat kernel, which makes it valuable for feeding. At the World's Fair, in 1893, we exhibited heads of Wilson's Prolific Side Oats that measured twenty-two inches in length, and contained four hundred and sixty plump grains. For those wanting a good, hardy and productive side oats, we would recommend Wilson's Prolifiebefore any other. By mail, postpaid, large pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 75c. By freight, not prepaid, peck, 40c; bushel, SI.00; 2 bushels, or more, 90c per bushel, including best new sacks. GOLDEN GIANT SIDE OATS. A re- markable feature of the Golden Giant Side Oats, worthy of special attention, is the fact that a good crop can be grown on a poor, thin soil, where most varieties would hardly re- turn the expense of growing and harvesting. They grow four to four and a half feet high, with stiff, bright straw supporting the long heads; they stool freely and yield abundantly. They are extra early to ripen. In rapidity of growth and productiveness, scarcely any other variety can equal the new Golden Giant Side Oats, and the originator in France deserves great credit for developing so fine a variety. By mail, postpaid, pkt., 10c; lb., 30c; 31bs.,75c. By express or freight, peck, 50c; bushel, §1.25; 2 bushels, or more, §1.15 per bushel. THE LINCOLN OATS. This new oats was first introduced in 1893, and largely sold in all sections of the country, giving wonder- ful results. The three largest yields reported, which were grown in competition for the cash prizes offered, were 174, 168, and 122 bushels from a single bushel sown. It is, therefore, unquestionably one of the most productive. It is also very early, and has so far proven entirely rust-proof. Straw is stiff and strong, standing up. The grain is very handsome and valuable for feeding, on account of its thin hull, heavy meat and soft nib. If you want to double vour crop sow The Lincoln Oats. Pkt,, 10c; lb., 30c; 3 lbs., 75c, post- paid. By freight or express, peck, 40c; bushel, 81.20; 2 bushels, and over, 81.00 per bushel, bags included.
