COKER'S 17 ABRUZZI RYE 
The newest of the Coker Abruzzi Ryes, and 
ahead of them all. Furnishes earlier grazing 
and more fall and winter grazing than any Rye 
we have seen. We have seen it grazed five 
weeks after planting. Because it stools so heav- 
ily and so rapidly 3 pecks to one bushel am- 
ple to seed an acre. 
TENNESSEE 52 
BEARDED WINTER BARLEY 
Bred by the Tennessee Experiment Station 
and offered by them as the best all-around 
Barley for fall planting. Very cold resistant, 
very prolific yielder of grain and furnishes 
splendid early spring pasture. Barley does 
well with Crimson Clover, especially, and Les- 
pedeza can be sown on this combination in 
the spring. Sow Barley in September, October, 
1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
TENNESSEE No. 5 AND 6 
BEARDLESS WINTER BARLEY 
Some farmers object to Bearded Barley 
and for them we recommend Tennessee No. 9 
and 6 Beardless. It also is a high yielder of 
grain, and furnishes fine spring pasturage. 
Can be sown alone or with Crimson Clover in 
September, October, 1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
COKER'S RED HART 5 
BEARDLESS WHEAT 
The best of the Red Hart strains, and next 
to Hardired in value. Red Hart No. 1 was in- 
troduced by Coker Pedigreed Seed Farms a 
number of years back, and strain 5 in 1939. 
About 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Fulcaster and 
Leaps. A high yielder of grain, strong stiff 
poo cold resistant, grains high milling 
value. 

COKER'S HARDIRED 
BEARDLESS WHEAT 
The newest strain from the Coker Pedigreed 
Seed Farms, originated from a cross of Early 
Red May X (Hope X Hussar), made for them 
by a U. S. Department of Agriculture represent- 
ative in 1932. Thousands of heads were select- 
ed and planted, the best of these selected and 
replanted for each year until Hardired was 
perfected. Hardired is cold resistant, mildew 
Tesistant, with high tolerance to leaf rust, 
stools very heavily, ahd makes more wheat 
than any former Coker strains, a third more 
even than Red Heart 5. About a week later 
than Red Hart, with same high milling value.

PE Mee ca ica ietaiag 5 traies 

Our Mr. F. M. Barton and Mr. Milton Weinstein, inspecting a field of Coker’s Fulgrain Strain 
4 (Rust-resistant) Oats at Coker’s Pedigreed Seed Farms, Hartsville, S. C. Planted 12 bushel per 
acre, produced 66 bushels per acre. However, we recommend 1l% bushels seeding per acre 
over here. 
WHEN AND HOW 
TO PLANT OATS 
For spring sowing, February through March 
is preferred, on good soil. If soil is poor, 500 
pounds of Basic Slag per acre will bring much 
improved yield. Sow | to 2 bushels per acre. 
For hay, cut when oats are about half mature, 
in milk stage. 
Due to the fact that no one seems to be 
doing any breeding work on Early Burt, Ap- 
pler, Fulghum, and similar varieties, it is next 
to impossible to secure pure stocks, so this 
spring we list only those varieties that we can 
be sure of as to trueness to type and general 
excellence. 
FERGUSON—922 OATS 
This oat developed by Ferguson Seed Breed- 
ing Farm in Texas and is a superior strain of 
the old Texas Red Rust-Resistant oat. This new 
strain has stood right at the top in experiment 
station tests along with Nortex, another strain 
of red rust-resistant oats. In the prairie or rice 
section of Arkansas Ferguson 922 has been 
very popular for past three years, giving out- 
standing results. Ferguson 922 is about ten 
days to two weeks later than Fulgrain No. 2 
It is well to plant some of both so your com- 
bine can handle both crops to advantage. 
NEW NORTEX OATS 
One of the best of the oats from Texas, intro- 
duced by the North Texas Experiment Station, 
and named by them. New Nortex is an im- 
proved strain of Nortex, and Nortex was a big 
improvement over Texas Red Rust Proof. New 
Nortex is much more winter resistant and much 
more prolific. For the six years, 1934 through 
1939, fall planting Nortex stood right at the 
top in yield of grain per acre in oat tests 
at Delta Branch Experiment Station, Stoneville, 
Miss. New Nortex is about two weeks later 
than Fulgrain No. 2. It is well to plant some of 
both so your combine can handle both crops 
to advantage.

COKER'S FULGRAIN 4 
RUST-RESISTANT OAT 
Introduced in fall of 1940 by Coker Pedi- 
greed Seed Farms. It has the high yield per 
acre of former Fulgrains with-the added char- 
acters of high crown rust resistance, high re- 
sistance to all races of smut, including the 
new race to which former Fulgrains are sus- 
ceptible. A stiff strawed, storm resistant short- 
er Fulgrain—an excellent oat for harvesting 
with a combine. A heavy yielder of grain, 
about the best grazing oats known, cold re- 
sistant, high feeding value. Coker’s Fulgrain 
oats are the earliest maturing oats known, the 
heaviest producing that we know of anywhere. 
They are very cold resistant. Yields of 60 to 
90 bushels are common and one record crop 
of 138 bushels per acre was recorded. Coker 
actually raised 80 bushels per acre, planting 
1 peck per acre. For Memphis territory, we 
recommended 1% bushels per acre. This is 
ample because Fulgrain stools profusely. It 
is about the best grazing oat known, contains 
10 to 15 per cent higher protein content than 
other oats, smut resistant. 
NEW TENNESSEE 
WINTER HARDY OATS 
Tennessee Experiment Station has developed 
three very fine winter hardy varieties—Ful- 
win, Tennex and Forkedeer. All vigorous grow- 
ers, prolific stoolers, excellent for grazing. Ful- 
win ranks first in winter hardiness, Forkedeer 
yields slightly more than other two, and Ten- 
nex is 7 to 10 days earlier than Fulwin or 
Forkedeer. 
COKER'S VICTORGRAIN OATS 
Introduced by Coker Pedigreed Seed Farms 
in fall of 1940 as ‘'The best we have ever bred 
in our 32 years of small grain breeding,” at 
$5.00 per bushel, Coming from Coker, that 
statement can be accepted as fact, and they 
are acknowledged as No. 1 small grain breed- 
ers in the South. Victorgrain has everything— 
cold resistance, smut resistance, rust resist- 
ance, storm resistance, high yield, high feed- 
ing value. Very stiff straw, ideal for combin- 
ing, little shorter than Fulgrain 4. 
NEW IMPROVED CERESAN FOR WHEAT, 
OATS, BARLEY AND RYE 
The treatment of wheat, oats, barley and rye is now a standard 
crop practice recommended by most state experiment stations and 
the United States Department of Agriculture. New Improved Ceresan ° 
dry disinfectant, containing ethyl mercury phosphate, has been 
proved by experiment station tests and years of use to be an ideal 
treatment for these crops. See page 22.
