AS PRICES ON GRAINS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WRITE FOR PRICES BEFORE ORDERING 
BARLEY 
BUCKWHEAT 
B e a r diess. 
This variety 
does not have 
a beard, and 
can be used 
for grazing, 
hay, or grain. 
(Write for 
prices.) 
OATS 
Thirty-two pounds to the bushel. Two bushels per acre. 
Burt, or 90-Day. Probably the best early spring Oat for 
sandy soils in Virginia or North Carolina. (Write for prices.) 
Fuigham. A popular variety that produces heavy yields of 
both hay and grain. A good variety for spring planting. 
(Write for prices.) 
Kanota. Quite similar to the Fuigham and very popular in 
the middle western states. (Write for prices.) 
Winter Turf. Known also as Virginia Turf. Sown in Septem¬ 
ber or October, this variety will be well set before the cold 
weather, and may be grazed freely through the winter. (Write 
for prices.) 
Lee Cold Proof. This variety combines the earliness of 
Fuigham with the cold-resistance of Winter Turf, and will 
probably produce more hay or grain than any other spring- 
sown oat. (Write for prices.) 
Fulgrain. An early maturing smut-resistant variety that pro¬ 
duces a heavy yield of both hay and grain. (Write for prices.) 
WHEAT 
Sixty pounds to the bushel. One and one-half bushels per acre. 
Leap’s Prolific. A fine beardless wheat with the tallest straw. 
Very productive and of high milling value. (Write for prices.) 
RYE 
Fifty-six pounds to the 
bushel. One and one-half 
bushels per acre. 
For winter pasturage few 
crops compare with Winter 
Rye, its adaptability to al¬ 
most all soils and situations 
being enough to make it a 
universal favorite. Inexpens¬ 
ive, very productive and of Abruxxi 
remarkable nutritive value, cl 
it can be used to advantage 
on every farm where stock is 
kept, and we strongly recom¬ 
mend that all unused land be 
covered with rye during the 
winter as a protection. It also ranks among the best green 
manures, and is very largely used for that purpose. 
Abruzzi. The best variety of winter rye for the South and is 
becoming more popular each year. It is ready for grazing 
about ten days earlier than any other sort, and will produce 
nearly as much grain. (Write for prices.) 
Rosen. A standard variety that produces a strong, vigorous 
straw, and stools to a remarkable degree. It is, however, not 
as good for the South as Abruzzi. (Write for prices.) 
New Improved CERESAN 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. Two bushels per acre. 
The value of Barley for winter pasturage has not been gen¬ 
erally recognized, but many Southern dairymen have adopted 
it as one of their main crops for this purpose, using it also for 
hay. If intended to be cured for hay, the head should not be 
allowed to form. Sowings are made both in spring and fall. 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. One bushel per acre. « 
Buckwheat thrives where few other plants will. In excessively 
hot weather buckwheat is liable to blight, and the seeds should 
not be sown in the latitude of Norfolk before the middle of 
July. It may be sown either in drills or broadcast. 
Brown Hull. A distinct variety, early and very productive. 
The plant is large and vigorous, and the flour made from it 
is of the best quality. (Write for prices). 
Bearded. A 
few days ear- 
1 ie r than 
B e a rdless, 
but should be 
used only for 
grazing or 
grain. (Write 
for prices.) 
Forward. A beardless, loose, smut-resistant selection from 
Fulcaster that is becoming very popular. Best variety for 
mountain sections. (Write for prices.) 
V.P.I. No. 131. A bearded rust-resistant variety favored by 
many planters of North and South Carolina. It is a vigorous 
grower and makes the finest quality of flour. (Write for 
prices.) 
A New Low Cost Grain Disinfectant 
Costs only 2 to 3 cents per bushel. Usually effective in controlling bunt 
or stinking smut of wheat, covered smut and stripe of barley, and oat 
smuts. Frequently improves the stand and yield of grain 1 to 6 bushels 
per acre. Easily and quickly applied by 20 revolutions of seed treater 
or 3 turnings with a shovel. Seed should be treated 24 hours before 
planting. Does not reduce drilling rate nor damage drill. One pound 
treats 82 bushels of wheat, oats, or barley. 
PRICES: 1-lb. tin, 75c; 5-lb. tin, $3.25, postpaid.
