Pedigree Fulghum Oats 
WHAT OATS TO PLANT 
Plant Oats early for larger and better 
yields. Seeding up to March 1st, the Pedi¬ 
gree Virginia Gray Winter is recommended 
for both seed and hay. Pater plantings the 
earlier maturing varieties, such as Fulghum, 
Burt. Swedish Select, etc., are better. For 
seed production, Virginia Gray Winter and 
Pedigree Fulghum give larger grain yields, 
except in mountain districts, where the Pedi¬ 
gree Swedish Select is better adapted. For 
hay and green feed, the Fulghum, Burt and 
Red Rust-Proof are generally planted, and 
in mountain districts the White Spring.

TREATMENT FOR SMUT 
Spring-sown oats, due to climatic condi¬ 
tions, are more susceptible to smut than 
when sown in the fall. Regardless of the 
source of seed, treating oats is cheap crop 
insurance, and is recommended by all experi¬ 
mental stations. If conditions are favorable 
for smut, losses often run as high as 25 per 
cent. Prices quoted on this page include 
treatment. If untreated seed desired, reduce 
prices quoted i3c per bushel. 
Pedigree Gray Winter or Turf Oats 
An extra heavy, fine quality turf oat, very winter hardy and 
large yielder. Our Pedigree Strain shows test weight per meas¬ 
ured bushel 45 lbs., which compares with ordinary turf oats only 
weighing 36 to 38 lbs. per bushel. Their strong turfing and stool- 
ing characteristics gives them advantages over all other oats for 
grazing purposes. Be sure and plant enough acreage this spring 
for your seed requirements this fall. Winter Turf Oats are always 
in demand and bring a good premium over other varieties. A 
profitable oat to grow for grain production. Plant early.

Pedigree Swedish Select Oats

mended for the higher altitudes of Virginia and North Carolina 
and States north and west of Virginia. Makes especially good 
crops on both light and heavy soils in these localities.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
Barge Seeded Variety 
A crop that is becoming very popular along the coastal States as 
a cash crop. Yields of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds or more per acre are 
common and generally more profitable than other cultivated crops. 
Sunflower seeds are rich in oil and protein and fine for poultry; 
also the leaves make excellent fodder the whole plant furnishing 
fine ensilage and hog feed. Plant and cultivate like corn, in rows 
2% to 3 feet apart and a foot apart in the rows. For seed produc¬ 
tion, plant 8 pounds to the acre, or as a feed or silage crop 15 to 
20 pounds per acre in rows and dropping the seed rather thick in 
the row. When ripe and hard, cut off the heads and pile loosely 
under cover, and when cured will thresh easily. By mail postpaid, 
lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.35: 25 lbs. $2.80; 50 lbs. $5.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 10c pier lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 8 . 14 c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 8c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Pedigree Fulghum Oats 
One of the most satisfactory of all oats for spring sowing. A heavy 
yielder, rust-proof, has full heads and plump, heavy grain, 
and is one of the earliest. Our Seed Stock shows 
test weight of 43 pounds to measured bushel. 
The Fulghum is probably the most popular of the rust-proof 
varieties; they are certainly one of the earliest. Its productive¬ 
ness, probably more than any of its other good qualities, has con¬ 
tributed to its wide popularity. They stool out splendidly, have 
large, full heads, fine, plump grains and strong straw that stands 
about three feet high. For three years a careful check was kept 
of the performance of Fulghum oats in comparison with yields 
from other varieties. The average yield from Fulghum was 12 
bushels to the acre more than all others. It has plump grains and 
exceptional heavy weight. By mail postpaid, peck 60c; y 2 bushel 
95c; bushel $1.70. 
Not postpaid, peck 35c; y 2 bushel 55c; bushel (32 lbs.) 95c; 5-bushel 
lots 93c per bushel. 
Burt or Ninety-Day Oats 
If you have not seeded your oats by the first part of March, the 
Burt is a safe oat to plant, for in the hands of thousands of suc¬ 
cessful farmers it has proved its value as a good cropper and can 
generally be depended upon to mature in time to escape injury 
from heat. It makes a good growth of early feed, is an abundant 
yielder of grain, is free from rust, and what is of equal importance 
when plantings are late, it is of early maturity. Early plantings 
can be cut in time to put the same land in corn, peanuts, cowpeas, 
millet or other summer crops. The Burt is a prime favorite for 
growing on the light sandy soils of the coast sections of the South 
Atlantic States, where the results have been uniformly good.

Bearded Spring Barley 
Quickest growing and earliest spring grain. 
Where there is a shortage of corn or other feed, spring barley 
will give the quickest grazing (a few weeks after planting), and 
earliest maturing grain. Can be cut in about two months, making 
very nutritious and palatable hay. In feeding value it is equal to 
corn. Bearded spring barley heads up in about 65 days and ma¬ 
tures in about 80 days. Can be grown on a greater variety of soils 
and under a wider range of climatic conditions than almost any 
other grain crop. Spring seeding of barley does not make as large 
yields of grain as when sown in the fall, generally ranging from 
25 to 40 bushels per acre. Sow at the rate of 2 bushels per acre. 
By mail postpaid, peck 75c; y 2 bushel $1.25; bushel $2.20.
