Marett’s Pedigreed Awnless Barley 
Strain No. I 
Season: Very early. Very rigid straw, long, heavy and compact heads. The straw 
is stronger than our Hooded No. 4, and stands up well for combining. Our records 
show it to be resistant to white mould and to striped-leaf. In some sections this is 
very important. Our Awnless Barley, Strain No. 1, is a little earlier than our Hooded 
Barley. It does not shatter as easily at harvest time as the Hooded Barley. Either by 
the bushel, or by weight, Our Awnless carries a much higher feed value. 
In 1940 at Clemson College it led all competing Strains, producing 65.4 bushels 
per acre. It was also the leader in 1940 at the Edisto Station, Blackville, S. C., pro- 
ducing 65.3 bushels per acre In the field, it looks very much like wheat, to a passerby. 
We quite often produce 40 to 60 bushels per acre in this Barley. Best results are 
obtained by using a well balanced and liberal amount of fertilizer at seeding time. 
This will apply to all small grain. You want a well established root system before 
the Winter months. Sow 11% to 2 bushels per acre. Book orders early, because we 
are usually sold out before the season is over. 
Per Bu. $3.20; 10 Bus. $3.10 per Bu.; 30 Bus. $3.00 per Bu.
