MISCELLANEOUS FARM SEEDS 
OATS 
CULTURE—For spring planting sow 1% to 2% bushels 
per acre on a well prepared seed bed as soon as possible 
after danger of hard freeze. In fall sow in early October, 
later in the lower South, 1% to 2% bushels per acre. 
Cover about 2 inches. 
1275—FERGUSON 922 OATS—Planted in spring or 
fall. When planted in fall this oat heads the list in 
average yield per acre in a ten year test at the Rice 
Branch Experiment Station tests, Stuttgart, Ark. 
Also an excellent oat for early spring planting to 
cut when beginning to head for hay or harvesting 
when mature for grain. This is our reason for rec- 
' ommending the Ferguson Seed Oats to our farmer 
friends. Rust and smut resistant; furnishing much grazing 
when planted early in fall. Withstands cold and sudden changes 
unusually well, therefore well adapted for fall planting. 
1278—FULGRAIN OATS—One of the best oats for spring 




heavy test weight. 
planting. Also very desirable for fall planting, especially in lower South. 
Earlier, more disease resistant, larger, heavier grain, and yields more than 
any other early maturing oat when sown in the fall. Two weeks earlier 
than most other popular oats, maturing before hot weather and rust dam- 
age. Stools well; vigorous growth; superior for pasturing; large, well-balanced heads; 
heavy grains with a rich, reddish yellow color, thin hull, high percentage of meat and 
= 1280—RED RUST RESISTANT OATS—This variety is very hardy, producing a me- 
dium tall, stiff straw and a heavy yield of grain or hay. The stock which we offer is 
exceptionally heavy, bright, recleaned and graded. 
1276—COLUMBIA SPRING OATS—A very desirable, extremely early spring oat, very 
similar but, in our opinion, superior to the long popular Early Burt variety. Even when 
planted a little late, will mature before hot weather. Produces large, heavy, well filled heads 
of plump grain on stiff, strong stems which do not blow down easily. Sown alone or with rape 
on rich land: will furnish more pasture in less time than any other spring crop. 
1277—NEW NORTEX OATS—An improved strain of the long popular Red Rust Resistant Oat, 
which has stood right at the top in yield of grain per acre, for a number of years in tests over 
the entire South. An excellent oat for either Spring or Fall planting, however, if sown in the 
Spring early planting is advisable. Very winter hardy and resistant to rust and smut. 
They 
stool heavily furnishing an excellent spring pasture over a longer period than some of the 
earlier maturing oats.

BARLEY 
1263—BEARDLESS BARLEY—It makes a quick growing, ex- 
cellent fall and winter pasture, controlling erosion pneu 
well. Also a heavy yielding grain crop especially desirable 
for hogging off since it has no beards. Barley is almost ie 
actly equal to corn in food value and will give practica n 
the same yields of grain as corn on any medium to good soil. 
Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
1262—BEARDED BARLEY (Tennessee 52)—An unusually 
heavy stooling and high grain yielding variety of Barley 
which seems to have no equal for the Central South. More 
winter hardy than the Beardless varieties, therefore more 
desirable for grain production. This most desirable strain 
of Bearded Barley will be very profitable to_any stock rais- 
ers. All Barley can be sown with Crimson Clover and both 
will make almost a normal yield of seed. Can be harvested 
at same time since they ripen together and the seed are 
easily separated. 
VETCH AND AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS 
1176-—SAND OR HAIRY VETCH—A very desirable winter 
legume used principally for soil building. Well adapted to 
all types of soil except extremely poor. Plant in cotton or 
corn middles, 20 pounds per acre, before November 1 either 
with a vetch planter or by sowing broadcast and covering 
with small harrow or middle buster. Can be turned under 
the next spring in time to plant cotton, corn, etc. Never win- 
ter kills when properly planted, and frequently doubles the 
yield of the succeeding crop if properly inoculated. A fair 
grazing and hay crop when planted with oats, beardless 
barley, etc. 
1250—AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS—Plant just as described for 
Hairy Vetch above, except use 30 to 35 pounds per acre. Like 
Vetch, it adds nitrogen equal to about 500 pounds Nitrate of 
Soda per acre when turned under at the proper time. Will 
grow on poorer soil than Vetch, but is not as winter hardy. 
Will be ready to turn under about two weeks earlier than 
Vetch. Makes a very nutritious hay when sown with oats.

RYE 
1264—BALBO RYE—Balbo Rye is characterized by a rapid, 
uvright habit of growth. In this respect it is very much like 
Abruzzi. The upright habit, coupled with the rapidity of 
growth, makes Balbo of outstanding value for early pastur- 
age. In a trial at the Middle Tennessee Station, at Columbia, 
on crops planted in the fall of 1932, Balbo furnished 40% 
more grazing by January 1 than did “native” or common rye. 
Ralbo Rye has proved to be appreciably more winter hardy . 
than Abruzzi. 
1265—ABRUZZI RYE—If sown on good land in late August 
or early September it will be ready for grazing in about six 
weeks, and will furnish abundant grazing for several months 
if not grazed too close. Unless wanted for grazing, do not 
sow before late September, as it may go to seed during the 
fall; late October or early November is early enough to 
sow for a grain crop. 
1267—COMMON RYE—It is cheaper in price and can be 
sown from August 15 to December 15 for grazing and erosion 
control. Can be sown with no preparation in corn and other 
row crops in late August for winter and spring grazing. 
WHEAT 
1259—COKER RED HART—A very early maturing wheat 
developed in the South for grazing and grain production. In 
many tests over the Central South this heavy stooling variety 
has consistently been the leading grain producer. Has long, 
heavy compact heads with plump grains, excellent for milling. 
1257—NEW GASTA WHEAT—A very desirable smooth head 
wheat developed in the South and has proven to be well 
adapted to our climate and soil. Furnishes an abundance of 
winter grazing. Stools freely, does not grow so high, there- 
gare wey. storm resistant. Heavy producer and disease re- 
sistant. 
1268—MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
Every Southern farm should plant some of this large headed 
variety of Sunflower for their poultry. Will produce more 
grain en medium to thin land than corn. Sow 10 lbs. per 
acre in drills 3 feet apart and cultivate as you would corn,
