SCARFF'S FULGHUM OATS 
Early—Heavy Yielder—Stiff Straw 
Fulghum is a strain of awnless red Oats; 
matures very early. The straw is stiff, taller than 
the average oats and produces good yields in dry 
and average seasons when other varieties are prac* 
tically failures. Sow as early as it is possible to 
put oats in the ground. Always the best yields are 
from the early drilled fields. Productiveness, prob¬ 
ably more than any of its other good qualities, 
has contributed greatly to the wide popularity It 
has attained. We have reports of exceedingly 
heavy yields that other and later varieties will 
find hard to beat in seasons favorable for them. 
Fulghum stools out splendidly and has large heads 
of fine plump grains. Price, per bu., $1.00; 10 
bu. lots, 05c per bu.; 25 bu. lots or over, 00c bu. 
Gopher Oats 
NEW VARIETY PROVES HEAVY YIELDER 
AGAIN IN 1037—WHITE—EARLY AS 
FULGHUM—STIFF STRAW 
Gopher Oats is an early white open head variety, 
producing heavy good quality grain with remark¬ 
ably stiff and erect straw. The white plump kernel 
gives it a fine appearance and as it contains little 
hull It is an excellent oat for grinding, 
FILLS NEED FOR AN EARLY, HEAVY 
YIELDING WHITE OATS 
The demand for this new heavy producing va¬ 
riety was very heavy last season and we now 
have quite a few orders already for 1938. If you 
have not given Gopher Oats a fair trial we urge 
you to sow a small field and compare with the 
kind you have been growing. Price per bu., Sl.CO; 
10 bu. lots, 95c per bu.; 25 bu. lots or over, 90c

SCARFF’S WAYNE OATS 
NEW WHITE VARIETY—INTRODUCED BY OHIO EXPERIMENT STATION WHERE IT HAS MADE 
REMARKABLE YIELDS. ONE OF THE BEST OF ALL MID-SEASON KINDS FOR OHIO 
We have grown Wayne Oats on our farms for 4 years and each season the quality has been extra 
fine. It has* a good stiff straw which prevents lodging except in extreme cases. The grain is large and 
plump. Hull is thin and grinds easily. This is a year when every effort should be made to insure a heavy 
crop. We have priced our oats low to give you every advantage possible. Your increased yield will pay you 
many times for having used Wayne seed. Order as soon as you know your requirements as our stock of good 
seed is not large. Price, per bu., $1.00; 10 bu. lots, 95c per bu.; 25 bu. lots or over, 90c bu. 
SCARFF’S FRANKLIN OATS 
Variety tests running three to five years and with no less than four kinds and as many as ten varieties im 
the counties of the state have demonstrated very conclusively the yielding ability of Franklin Oats. IN THESE 
TRIALS IT HAS YIELDED HEAVIEST OVER ALL KINDS TESTED IN MIAMI, MADISON, HAMILTON, 
CLERMONT AND MAHONING COUNTIES. 
Franklin Oat.s originated as a plant 
selection made in 1.922 from the Fulg¬ 
hum variety. Its characteristics as 
compared with Fulghum are as fol¬ 
lows : The straw is longer and decided¬ 
ly stiffer, it matures slightly later than 
Fulghum, has an open panicle type of 
head, while the heads of typical Fulg¬ 
hum tend toward the side-head type. 
The color of chaff of Franklin oats is 
white while the chaff of Fulghum is 
yellow. The kernel color is like that of 
Fulghum, (red). The head type and 
chaff color should make it rather easy 
to identify this variety and to maintain 
pure seed stocks. Franklin oats is near¬ 
ly free of abnormal types that occur so 
frequently in Fulghum. Price per bu., 
$1.00; 10 bu. lots, 95c per bu.; 25 bu. 
lots or over, 90c bu. 
FULGHUM or FRANKLIN OATS 
make Ideal nurse crops for Alfalfa. 
They have very few leaves, mature early 
and produce a good crop, too. One 
bushel seed Oats per acre with 12 
pounds Alfalfa has always given us 
a good stand. Fight Canadian Thistles 
with Alfalfa. 
In the above plots Franklin was compared to two other early 
strains of Oats. Note how well the Franklin stands and others 
have completely lodged.
