IRISH VICTOR OATS. A Grand Oat Novelty for 1900. It is probably known to but few farmers that aim >st all tlie new varieties of oats orig- inate either in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or New Zealand, and it is to these countries that we are obliged to look for improved sorts. The Irish Victor was br tight over from Ireland three years ago and has proved superior to all other sorts grown in the same sec- tion, in vigor of growth, stiffness of slaw and productiveness. Our .grower in Poweshiek couui y, Iowa, says his neighbors agree with him in pronouncing it the handsomest oat Held ever seen in Iowa. The straw is very stiff, holding the heavy head up well. It is fully as early as the Lincoln and yields more than that very productive variety. The grains are large, plump and heavy. Plant grows to medium height stools out exceptionally well, is free from rust and yields an immense crop. When we heard of this wonder- ful variety we at once investigated it fully and purchased the entire crop. Not a bushel of it is in the hands of anyone else except the few bushels which the farmer reserved for his own planting. We have made price so low that no one c m afford to do without it this ve;ir. We are only sorrv that we have not a larger stock, as it will doubtless soon be exhausted. Per lb. 25c, 3 ; 60c, postpaid. By freight, per peck 40c, bu. $, 10 bus. $, 100 bus. $100 00. No discount on any quantity. I have hand'ed a great many carloads of oats both of my own- growing and also as a shipper of grain to eastern markets, but I consider yc ur Irish Victor the best ever shipptd from this sta- tion. I s««' the oats growing and the field was beautiful; it stood up straight having a very stiff straw and sprangled head. They far surpass the Lincoln,Swiss. White Russian, Bonanza and el
