5EED OATS. Qarton's Tartar King Oats. We introduced this splendid new English Oat to our customers for the first time last year, and it gave the most satisfactory results. Our customers who grew it were enthusiastic in its praise. In England, where it originated, it has proved to be the first in yield, first in earliness, first in strength of straw, and first in quality and size of grain. It is a very heavy oat, weighing 40 to 45 lbs. to the measured bushel, and we believe it will prove to be the most valuable introduction that has been made in oats in recent years, and when it becomes thoroughly disseminated it will largely increase the average yield and quality of our spring oat crop. Price, large-sized trial package, 10c.; peck of 8 lbs. 50c.; bush, of 32 lbs. $1.50 ; 5-bushel lots and over, $1.40 per bus. Virginia Grey Winter, or Turf Oats. These oats are rapidly making a name and fame for themselves all over the Southern and Middle States. Wherever sown they soon become the principal variety of oats grown. They have long been in high favor in this section ; so much so that there are easily ten times as many of the Virginia Grey Winter Oats sown as of any other sort. For Spring Seeding.—These succeed splendidly, and make surer crop and larger yield than Spring Oats, provided they are put in early, before the middle of March. Sow at the rate of 1% to 2 bushels per acre. Price fluctuates. Present price Trademark Brand, 90c. per bushel. In ic-bushel lots and over, 85c. per bushel. Choice quality, 80c. per bus. Red Rust-Proof Oats. Rust Proof Oats ai e very popular throughout the South, especially on light sandy soils of the coast regions. They are usually sown from Sep- tember through March, although the favorite time for putting them in usually is October to February. Rust-Proof Oats are also preferred for low grounds, or in situations where other oats are much inclined to rust. They make a large yield of fine, heavy grain. Price fluctuates. Present price, Trademark Brand, best and cleanest quality, 80c. per bushel; 10 bus. lots and over, 75c. per bushel, bags included. Shall take pleasure in quoting price at any time. Black Spring Oats. These are usually considered to be the heaviest yielding of Spring Oats. Price of our Trademark Brand, 70c. per bushel, bags included ; prime quality Black Spring Oats, 65c. per bushel. Special prices on large lots. White; Spring Oats. Sow at the rate of two bushels per acre in February, March or April, the earlier the better. Price of our Trademark Brand (heaviest and cleanest quality), about 70c. per bushel, bags included ; prime quali ty of White Spring Oats, about 65c. per bushel, bags included. Special p rices on large lots. Prince Edward Island Oats. A heavy black spring Oat, of extra fine quality, which has given most excel lent results throughout this section. Has a stiff straw, stands up'well, early to mature, and a most satisfactory variety. Price, Trade-Mark Brand, $1.00 bushel. Rye. This crop is very largely used all over the South for winter pasturage, early green feed, and for green manuring, as well as for grain ; can be successfully sown as early as July and as late as December. Is also sown in the spring for grazing. Sow i>£ to 2 bus. per acre. Present price is 85c. per bus., bags included. Special prices on large lots. Seed Wheat. We sell thousands of bushels of the best and most improved varieties of Seed Wheat every year, and our wheats have attained a very high reputation on account of their cleanness and superior quality. We issue in August a descriptive list of Seed Wheats and other seeds for fall sowing, which we shall take pleasure in mailing to any one upon request. OUR FALL CATALOGUE, issued in August, *8S seeds for fall sowing, including Vetches, Crimson Clover, Seed Wheat, Oats, Eye, Barley, etc. This catalogue will be mailed free upon request. QARTON'S TARTAR KING OATS. Botetourt Co., Va., Oct. 28, 1901.—The Tartar King Oats I purchased of you last spring turned out very well indeed. For weight of grain, they easily surpassed all others exhibited at our fair, and took the first premium. Our local miller, a very good judge, remarked that they (the oats) were the heaviest he ever handJed. ( 65 ) Thomas Mixlbb.
