CLYDESDALE OATS AMERICAN GROWN , . (Grown in Northern New York.) In order to give Henderson's Clydesdale a still wider dis- tribution 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 specially 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 that these oats will yield under ordinary cultivation 70 to 80 bushels per acre, and under favor- able circumstances 100 bushels per acre can reasonably be ex- pected. $1.35 bushel (32 lbs.); 10-bushel lots, $1.30 bushel; 100-bushel lots, $1.25 bushel (32 lbs.) '■ We got one bushel of Clydesdale Oats from your house four years ago. We have been very successful with them; we now raise no other kind. We had about 1,100 bushels of them this year, but wish to renew the seed." William Archer, Brier Hill, N. T.
