WINTER BARLEY 
J Money-Making Crop / 
Makes fine Feed and a lot ofit! 
A good crop of Winter Barley will often take the 
place of several tons of high priced commercial feeds. 
Gives yields as high as 60 to 72 bushels per acre in good 
years, and 38 to 42 bushels in poor years. Claimed by 
many authorities to almost equal corn in feeding value. 
Here’s true Seed Barley! 
CERTIFIED SEED BARLEY 
('‘Tennessee Winter'' Variety) 
Extra fine seed. Certified as to genuineness and purity 
from other grains and varietal mixtures. State authorities 
have inspected the fields, supervised their handling, and 
tested the grain after it was cleaned and threshed. 
This stock was grown from treated seed that showed 
no smut. It has been treated again so that you may receive 
the very choicest quality Winter Barley Seed available. 
Sow about two bushels per acre. Put in about two 
weeks earlier than wheat. Handle the same as wheat. 
SEED BARLEY 
(“Tennessee Winter" Variety) 
Same type of seed as above — but not certified. 
Grown with the same care from treated seed, free from 
smut. Very free from other grains and mixtures. Offered 
at a saving and recommended. 
“BEARDLESS" WINTER BARLEY 
A popular strain. We do not claim it to be 100% 
beardless, but it does remove the objection that many 
people have to beards. Bearded strains have generally 
yielded bigger crops, but this strain has been giving very 
nice yields to its users.

for a good crop with the best possible seed available.

CERTIFIED “BEARDLESS" BARLEY 
As near the perfect strain as is possible to get. 
Limited quantity only. Often used on our local rich 
tobacco ground — where they want as strong straw as 
possible. 
‘ SMOOTH-AWN BEARDED” BARLEY 
VELVET-TYPE (CERTIEIED) 
This variety grows beards. But they are not rough. 
They are smooth. They don t have the rough barbs 
sticking on the side of the whiskers. Run your fingers 
along the beard from the tip to the base and you 11 find 
the surface smooth. 
This IS a pleasing feature,-to folks who find rough 
beards an objection. The variety yields well too. Here 
in its first trial in Lancaster County, its yield has been 
right up with the regular bearded barley. Stood up well. 
Good length straw. It is certainly well worth your trial. 
Supply is small. Early orders are urged. 
Winter Barley has become a very popular crop — 
and in a short time. Each year its range seems to 
widen. Started in Tennessee, it is now grown in the cen¬ 
tral to upper sections of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
Making good-sized crops right along. 
Three distinct varieties of winter barley are now 
in stock, the bearded, beardless, and smooth-awn. All 
are described on this page. Then we offer, as you will 
read, certified and uncertified seed of both the bearded 
and beardless varieties. A complete stock of truly 
quality seed!
