Text Appearing After Image:
WINTER or TURF OATS are quite extensi ly grown in Southern Stat where the3' are in 1 Sown in the fall afford excellent pasturage during the winter or give abundant yield the following season. The demand for oats of this character has been gradually extending northward, and to meet it we have been growing in Nortliern Pennsylvania, for several years, an acclimatized strain which is remarka- bly hardy and will stand the winter as far north as New ersey. They are incomparably superior to tlie Winter Turf Oats of Virginia ; they stool out strongly, are ear- more vigorous and less susceptible to rust; they have stiff" stand up well, and are much more productive than )ats. Sow in September, at the rate of 1^ bushels per acre, and sow deep. They will stand much more severe weather when planted four inches deep than near the surface. (See cut.) 40c. peck, $1.15 bushel (32 lbs.); 10-bushel lots and upwards, $1.10 bushel.
