Fulgrain Cold and Smut Resistant Oats. 
Wood's Heavy, Plump, Treated Seed Oats 
99% Pure. 90 to 100% Germination. Free of Noxious Weeds. 
This spring was so wet most oats went to straw, suffered from disease and yielded 
poor crops of light, shrivelled grain. If this diseased shrivelled grain is planted this 
fall, it will produce weak stands of diseased plants that are apt to be winter killed. 
Wood’s Seed Oats are heavily recleaned, have large heavy kernels, and are treated 
against diseases that attack young seedlings. They will make vigorous, healthy plants 
that withstand winter freezes and make stronger stalks, larger heads, and greater 
yields of plump grain that is free of disease. 
Fall sown oats make much larger yields of both grain and hay than spring sown 
oats, prevent erosion and loss of soil nutrients that become available by winter 
freezing and thawing, furnish valuable winter grazing when animals most need green 
feed, and make a better nurse crop for grass and clover seedings. Yet, many farmers 
lose their fall sown oats by winter killing by not planting Wood’s Treated Cold Re¬ 
sistant Seed Oats. 
Sow oats in September, 3 bushels per acre for grain or 5 bushels per acre for hay 
on a well prepared seed bed, firm beneath with 2 to 3 inches of mellow surface soil. 
Pedigree Fulgrain Cold and Smut Resistant Oat 
HEAVIEST YIELDING OAT FOR SOUTHERN COASTAL SECTION 
We offer the strain which yielded 87.3 bushels per acre, highest yield in the South 
Carolina Experiment Station test. More disease resistant, much larger, heavier grain, 
and yields 50% more than Fulghums. We predict it will shortly replace all other 
oats in the coastal section. Earlier maturing than Fulghum and two weeks earlier 
than Winter Turf, maturing before hot weather and rust damage. Although not as 
cold resistant as Lee or Winter Turf, it was not affected by a cold winter that damaged 
Fulghums. Stools well. Vigorous winter growth. Superior for winter pasturing. 
Tough straw. Large, well balanced heads. Beautiful, long, heavy grains with a rich 
reddish yellow color, thin hull, high per cent of meat and heavy test weight per pound. 
Inspectors found no smut rust or other disease or varietal mixture in our fields. 
Wood’s Pedigree Lee Cold Proof Oats 
Pedigree Virginia Gray Winter Turf Oats 
The hardiest and tallest of all oats, a foot taller than 
Fulghum. The best oat for hay or winter grazing in the 
Coastal Plain section. Its spreading, vigorous growth in 
cold weather makes thin stands stool out to a full crop. Our 
improved pedigree strain is much more prolific and heavy 
yielding than ordinary winter turf oats. It has enormous 
heads and heavy, rich kernels that weigh 40 pounds per 
struck bushel. It frequently yields 75 bushels per acre 
when neighboring oats freeze out.

Highest yielded of hay grain for 15 years in the North 
Carolina tests. Best Oat for Piedmont or Mountains. More 
winter resistant and considerably taller than Fulgrain or 
any Coker Oats. Highest test weight per bushel of any oat. 
Its tremendous heads are laden down with extra heavy 
grain that weighs over 40 pounds per struck bushel. It 
combines the earliness, high yield and stiff straw of Fulg¬ 
hums with the tall straw and cold resistance of Winter Turf. 
Its superior stooling and vigorous growth in cold weather 
makes it the best oat for winter pasture. 
The U. S. Arlington Experiment Station reports: “Lee 
Oats are equally as cold resistant as Winter Turf, ripen 
somewhat earlier, have much better straw, and produce more 
grain of better quality. In a 4 year test, Lee averaged over 
70 bushels per acre, Winter Turf 59, and Fulghum 62.” 
State Crop Improvement inspectors did not find a trace of smut 
disease or varietal mixture in our fields.

R. E. Cleek, Dogue, Va., says: “Although not planted until November 
15th, Lee Oats were not damaged by a severe winter, wlich badly froze a 
nearby field of Winter Turf Oats sown a month earlier. A wet spring caused 
much rust damage to other varieties, but Lee Oats showed no rust or any 
other disease and yielded 75 bushels per acre.” 
Wood’s Pedigree Strains of Seed Grain Grown 
from Certified Head Selected Seed 
Southern Farmers should plant Wood’s Pedigree Strains to get 
heaviest yielding grain crops that bring top prices on the market. 
Many merchants offer as seed feed grains bought from country 
elevators or farmers who made no effort to grow high quality seed. 
It is usually badly mixed, full of noxious weed seed and disease, and 
low in germination. It frequently results in crop failures, or crops 
that sell at a substantial discount on the market. 
Wood’s Pedigree Strains are grown by us from the finest head 
selected Certified Seed, on some of the best land in Virginia. Each field 
is carefully rogued and inspected for noxious weeds, disease and mix¬ 
tures. Unless it germinates over 90% and is superior in every way, it is 
discarded for seed. It is carefully thrashed to avoid mixing and triple- 
cleaned over the most complete machinery in America.
