CERTIFIED LIGHTNING 
EXPRESS 
STRAIN 8 
We are not breeding Lightning Express cotton, but 
we have grown some Lightning Express—8 from seed 
which we bought direct from the Breeders of this cot¬ 
ton for use on Wilt Land where we wanted to use a 
Full 1 %" staple cotton. 
We find it an early, fairly strong Wilt Resistant cot¬ 
ton, with medium light foliage, 1 */&" staple, medium size 
bolls, 32% lint, and we offer you seed grown on our 
farms of this variety, guaranteed to be pure, and recom¬ 
mended to you as one of THE BEST 1 Ys" Wilt Resis¬ 
tant cotton we have tried. Its earliness is desirable and 
its type is good, though it is not as strong in Wilt Re¬ 
sistance as Dixie—14 Strains. It has not made as high 
yields as our Dixie cottons, but its staple is longer and 
it will bring a premium over shorter length cottons. 
SEED RYE 
“HUMCO” ABRUZZI 226-80 
STRAIN 2 
This is our LATEST STRAIN representing the very 
best in HIGH YIELD OF SEED and FORAGE. 
ITS CHARACTERS: 
1. Production—Heavy. 
2. Grains—Large. 
3. Per Cent Grain—High (35 to 42%). 
4. Heads—Drooping, Heavy, Long. 
5. Straw—Large, Stiff. 
6. Bearding—Regular. 
7. Growth—Just Right (average height 5 to 5)4 feet). 
As a Winter Cover Crop for the Coastal Plain sec¬ 
tion of the South, this rye has no superior. It makes a 
heavy growth of vegetable matter in Fall and early 
Winter. Careful tests show four tons per acre from 
October 15th to February 11th. 
As a Winter Grazing Crop, the best we know of. It 
grows upright. It is easy to graze. 
As a Seed Producer it has no superior in the South. 
On good land you can depend on 18 to 28 bushels per 
acre, against 8 to 10 bushels for ordinary rye. 
SEED OATS 
“HUMCO” FULGHUM 106-4 
STRAIN 2 
A NEW STRAIN—HIGHLY COLD RESISTANT 
ITS CHARACTERS: 
1. Production—A Heavy Yielder (77)4 bu. per acre, 
1932 test plot). 
2. Earliness—Three days later than regular Fulghum. 
3. Straw—Large, Stiff—Does not lodge easily. 
4. Heads—Large, Long, Heavy. 
5. Grains—Large, Yellow—Mostly Single (47% grain 
to straw). 
6. Cold Resistance—Strong, 30% more resistant than 
regular Fulghum. 
7. Disease Resistance—Has shown decided resistance 
Ho smut, though not smut proof. In our test work, 
seed of this strain, though heavily inoculated with 
smut spores before planted, developed only 1.85% 
smut against 21.4% for regular Fulghum oats. 
8. Habit of Growth—Grows larger than regular Ful- 
ghums. Has larger straw, which is very desirable 
where intended for use as forage or for grazing. 
OUR STRAINS OF SEED OATS AND RYE COME FROM HIGH YIELDING SELECTIONS 
WHICH ARE INCREASED, TESTED AND PROVEN FOR FOUR YEARS 
“HUMCO” APPLER 294-60 
STRAIN 2 
A NEW STRAIN OF APPLER OATS 
This strain of oats just five years from its parent 
plant and a very high yielder. 
ITS CHARACTERS: 
1. Very uniform. 
2. Heavy production (will average 10 bus. per acre 
more than best Fulghum). 
3. Eight days later than regular Fulghum. 
4. High per cent grain to straw (45-50%). 
5. Smut resistant. 
6. Cold resistant. 
This oat in test with other smut resistant varieties, 
though heavily inoculated with smut spores, developed 
no smut at all. Appier oats have always been highly re¬ 
sistant to oat smut. 
We believe this to be the finest strain of Pedigreed 
Appier Oats being offered. It is very much superior to 
any strain we have offered in the past. 
In spite of severe cold winter of 1934, this oat stood 
up 90% good, better than any other oat tested. This 
record made in spite of planting first week in December, 
1933, which is late planting for Appier oats.
