Hendricks of bushels of Canada, New Bruins
wick. Surprise. Poland, and numerous other
varieties Of oats we're sold last year as our seed
Parties are again advertising and attempting 70
deceive the farmers. One party has already for
warded several thousand bushels of Canada
oats to the West, where he Is selling them as
ours seed. We cautioned farmers last year ag sinst
these frauds. But, because they could buy at a
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest. they purchased elsewhere; and now,
when they have learned by the result that they
were deceived, they are writing to US 20 punish
the sWindlers. To all such we beg to say that we
have enough TO do to attend to our own busi-
ness. We renew our caution, and give notice
that hereafter we shall sell our seed under the
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee
sale of every bushel in the country at our estab-
lished price; and farmers who bought seed from
us are asking from 81 so to $40, and one evidence
of seed being spurious is the fact of Its being
offered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man is likely to go to the trouble
and expense of ADVERT sing and selling this seed
at less price than he knows he would pay for
il, if genuine. There is not seed enough &c sup
ply the State of California alone, while others
are coming in from every state and Territory
and many parts of Europe. There are upward
of fire millions of farmers in the United states
yet to be supplied with this seed and the whole
crop this year would not give each pint.
Where one farmer had the faith in our repre-
sensations to buy last year, thousands are salts
fed and anxi us to get it now. One more WORD
on this subject of inferior seed Many seed
dealers bought and sold seed last year which
they may honestly have believed to be genuine,
which was not; and some farmers, we are
sorry to say it, who raised twenty-five bushels
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success of this grain tie past
season has created will sweep OF the entire
stock in a short time, and will offer unusual
advantage for bogus operators; and we are COM
pelled in Justice 10 ourselves as well as for the
protection of the public, 20 publ sh the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer Is to
make up his mind how much he wants, and II
neighbor whom he knows and can trust has
the seed of his own raising, buy Of him;
if not. send at once to US. Our best and heaVs
lest seed. Northern orOtrH, under the personal
supervision Of Mr.. Ramsdsle. will be offered first
YIELD ANDQUALITY.
We claimed last year that the Norway Dat
would yield double that of any other kind.
They have done better than that.
We claimed that they were . per cent.
heavier. They have exceeded that in weight.
We claimed that they were better in quality.
Reliable farmers say they are worth 100 per
cent more for home consumption, ard will
make whittier and sweeter -four than the best
wheat.
Farmers who can do so are invited to visit
either of our stores, and examine the grain and
specimens of stalks, root branch and head. We
have mammoth roots producing as many as 20
stalks from a single kernel, which are visited by
hundreds daily, and considered, justly, as we
think the wonder of the agricultural world.
We shall continue TO furnish the genuine Rams
dell Norway Oats as a specially for two years to
come. The price next year will not be less than
81. One farmer in every town can make sma !
fortune on the crop from few bushels.
