“SMOOTH-AWN BEARDED" BARLEY — CERTIHED 
(Velvet-Type "Marbarbless" Variety) 
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’ll 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 two years in Lancaster County, its 
yield has been right up with the regular bearded barley. Stood up well. Good 
length straw. Supply is small. Early orders are urged. 
CERTIHED "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. 
“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 good yields.
