GLYDESDflLE OflT§ A VARETY OF WHITE OATS OF EXTRAORDINARY WEIGHT, EARLINESS AND PRODUCTIVENESS, The Natural Weight of which is 50 pounds to the Bushel. Since we introduced this Grand Oat it has steadily and deservedly gained in popularity, until to-day it is THE MOST POPULAR HIGH-GRADE WHITE OAT IN THE UNITED STATES. The climate of America is unsuited to the production and maintenance of the highest grade of oats, and unless a heavy imported oat be used for seed purposes at least every second or third j'ear, they become light, "chaffy," inferior in quality and unprofitable. The ultimate financial benefit accruing to the American farmers bj' the annual distribution of several thousand bushels of HENDERSON'S CLYDESDALE OATS cannot be overestimated. These oats weigh naturally 50 lbs. per measured bushel, and they deteriorate in weight only from three to four lbs. each year they are grown here, so that the produce is worth for seed purposes at least double the market value of ordinary oats. Vi'e offer these oats for sale at the weight of 50 lbs. per bushel, exactl) as grown for us in Britain, so that those purchasing will actually receive for every bushel over one and one-half bushels according to the American standard, which reduces the price of "The Clydesdale " to $1.44 per standard bushel of 32 lbs. Another most important ad- vantage of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats to the farmer is the fact that tlie)' have been thoroughlj' cleaned by our most improved machiner)', and are absolutely free from foreign and weed seeds. (See cut.) Price, by ex- press or freight, $1.00 per peck; S2.50 per bushel (of 50 lbs.) Or we will supply 3 bushels (150 lbs.), the quantity to seed an acre, for $7.00. 10 bushels and upwards, $2.25 per bushel; 100-bushel lots, $2.15 per bushel. ^=What Our Customers Think Henderson's Imported Clydesdale Oats Are Genuine Only When Direct From Us. In the ••Ohio Farmer," Mr. J. T. Hickman, of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, states that .samples of Henderson's Clydesdale Oats and Clydesdale Oats procured from other sources have shown, in a series of experiments, in favor of Henderson's Clydesdale. He alio states that the average yield of Clydesdale Oats procured from other sources was something like nine bushels per acre below the results obtained from Henderson's Clydesdale. HENDERSON'S IMPORTED CLYDESDALE OATS. "Wegot one bushel of Clydesdale Oats from your house four years ago. We ha ve been very successful with them: we now raise no other kind. We had about 1,100 bushels of them this vear, but wish to renew the seed." WILLIAM ARCHER, Brier Hill, New York. "La.st spring I sowed 100 pounds of your celebrated Clydesdale Oats on 1% acres of ground and have just thrashed 170 bushels vfthe finest oats ever seen in this part of the country. I write you this statement to acknowledge the great benefit .vou have bestowed on the grain-growing sections of oar country by furnishing such seed." ROBERT WOLF, Canvas Prairie, I. T. ••The one pound of Clydesdale Oats I bought of you thrashed :^22pounds of the finest oats J ever saw. Thev weighed 50 pounds to the bushel." WM. HEMSTOCK, McMinnville, Oregon. " Your Clvdesdale Oats are the grandest oats I ha ve ever seen in all my life." ' JAMES WILLIS, Farrington. Fa. " The imported Clydesdale Oats I bought of you areincomparablygood. Such rigorous-growing oats I never saw." W. W. NEWSON, Fort Worth, Texas. ^^^. CLYDESDALE OATS (Gronii in Xurtbern New York.) In order to give Henderson's Clydesdale a still wider distribution and make their value universally known, and to enable us to offer them at a price within the reach of every farmer, we have had several thousand bushels speciallj' grown for us in the United States during the past year. These we have thoroughly recleaned, and are extra choice and heavy, free from all foul seeds and light and imperfect grains. We are within the mark when we say these oats will yield under ordinary cultivation 70 to 80 bushels per acre, and under favorable circumstances 100 bushels per acre can reasonably be expected. $1.35 bushel (32 lbs.); 10-bushel lots, $1.30 bushel; 100- bushel lots, $1.25 bushel. We sHall tie pleased to maKe Special Prices (wiiere possiPle) to Payers ol laroe quantities ol Grain or Grass Seed. Write us.
