. Dickinson's hand book on farm seeds. Forage plants. [from old catalog]; Grain. [from old catalog]; Seeds. Silvermine Oats The Silvermine Oats were introduced a number of years ago into this country. It is one of the very best commercial varieties tor the central and northern portions of the Corn belt, as well as a good variety to grow under irrigation. The characteristics of the plant of the Oats are much similar to those of the Swedish Select, averaging 4^^ or even 5 ft. in height under favorable conditions. The kernels are also white, but are longer and slender. Panicles are rather large, vary- ing from 35 to 60 spikelets each containing two kernels, the larger sometimes provided with a v/eak awn. Branches of panicles are more flexible and slender than those of the Swedish Select. It matures a few days earlier, requiring 95 to 110 days from the time of seeding. It has a less tendency to lodge than the Swedish and hence can be grown to advantage on medium to rich soils. Silvermine is a good yielder of grain and straw. ». TRADE MARK REG.
