Cokers FULGRAIN OATS 
STRAIN 5 
We are glad to offer to our customers this year 
a new and improved strain of Fulgrain—Strain 5. 
This oat is descended from our Fulgrain Strain 4, 
which was offered first in the Fall of 1940. It 
combines all the good qualities of its parent 
strain, namely, a high degree of rust resistance, 
smut resistance, cold resistance, storm resistance, 
shatter resistance and good grain character, and, 
in addition, has a higher degree of uniformity, 
a better production record and is almost entirely 
free of awns. The heads are heavy, long and well 
balanced and these characters, coupled with its 
stiff straw, enable it to stand up well for combine 
harvesting.

southern oat varieties. This new strain having 
rust resistance, extra smut resistance and storm 
resistance coupled with its high yield will still
