Outstanding Strains of Seed Oats for Fall Planting 

Wood’s Improved Lee No. 5 Seed Qats 
We strongly recommend them above all other Oats for the 
Piedmont and Mountain sections of all Eastern and Southern 
States. It is extremely winter hardy, heaviest yielding, and 
tallest growing of all Winter Oats. It was first introduced 
by Mr. J. R. Stanton, Senior Agronomist in charge of oat 
investigation, at which time he stated: “At the present time 
the Lee variety is the only one which we are especially 
trying to get on the farms. It has been so promising in 
the tests at the Arlington Experiment Farm for a number 
of years that we feel the variety should be grown more 
generally on farms where the Winter Turf variety has been 
mostly grown. 
From the record which this oat has made, since first in- 
troduced by us commercially over eleven years ago, it has 
more than fulfilled Mr. Stanton’s recommendations. Since 
that time field selection for still higher yields have been 
made, and now it is the leading Oat for fall planting through- 
out the ast. This selection is Strain No. 5, which has far 
outyielded the old strain of Lee Oatts. 
In an official Southern experimental test, Wood’s Im- 
proved Lee Cold Proof Strain 5 yielded 76.3 bushels per acre 
in 1941, and in 1942 topped the list of 29 various strains of 
other varieties, yielding 67 bushels per acre. Their con- 
sistent productiveness is attributed to their ability to stand 
rather scvere cold weather. 


Wood's Permanent Grass and Clover 
Mixtures---For Hay and Pasture 
These mixtures over a period of years have given won- 
derful results as heavy and permanent producers of nu- 
tritious hay and pasture crops. As few fields ave uwiform 
in fertility or drainage, and rainfall varies each sca3on, a 
mixture of many grasses and clovers produce much larger 
crops than a single grass or clover. Our mixtures contain 
20 to 25% clover seed, increasing the pasture, feeding value 
and fertility of the soil. 
WOOD’S PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURES Nos. | to 3 
Contains grasses and clovers which make their maximum 
growth at different times throughout the year, furnishing 
abundant continuous grazing. 
No. 1. For light gravelly or sandy soil. 
No. 2. For good loam soil. 
No. 3. For moist bottom land. 
WOCGD’S PERMANENT HAY MIXTURES Nos 6 to 8 
Contains grasses and clovers which mature at the same 
time, making bumper hay crops. 
No. 6. For light gravelly or sandy soil. 
No. 7. For good loam or clay soil. 
No. 8. For moist bottom land. 
WOOD’S SOUTHERN PERMANENT PASTURE-HAY 
MIXTURE No. 12 
A fine mixture for hay or*pasture in the Southern Coastal 
and Gulf States. Suitable to both light and heavy soils. 
Sow all above mixtures during September, at the rate of 
30 to 35 lbs. per acre. No, 12 Mixture can be sown as late 
as first balf of October. Specify number of Mixture de- 
sired when ordering.

Wood’s Pedigree Fulgrain Oats 
For the Coastal and Piedmont sections of Virginia and 
other Southern States. Fulgrain is probably the most popu- 
lar Oat. It has proven winter hardy in these sections and 
has given outstanding yields. It ranks first in earliness of 
all fall Oats—has strong, stiff straw of medium height, 
making it an excellent variety for combining. Fulgrain 
produces probably the largest and heaviest grain of any Oat 
on the market, making it most desirable for feeding pur- 
poses. Makes a vigorous winter growth and fine for pas- 
turage. 

Wood’s Pedigree Lelina Oats 
A new variety which has been developed from a cross of 
Lee and Victoria. Because of its cold resistance, Lee has 
been outstanding. Victoria is quite resistant to rust and to 
smut diseases. The Lelina combines with the winter re- 
sistance of Lee and the disease resistance of Victoria. For 
the past four years at Statesville, N C, the average yield 
was 84.3 bushels per acre. Recommended particularly for 
the Piedmont sections of the East. For Coastal section, 
Fulgrain, and Mountain section, Lee Strain 5 are suggested. 
Only limited quantities of Lelina available this fall. 
Wood’s Improved Winter Turf Oats 
An outstanding strain of the Turf variety. Extremely 
winter hardy, heavy stocling qualities, growing 5 to 6 feet 
tall. Late maturing and does not make the early Spring 
growth of Fulgrain, but owing to its stooling ability, has 
been making outstanding yields over the past number of 
years. Our improved strain has large, bright kernels, is 
free of cheat and onion and is far superior to the average 
turf oats in test weight, cleanliness and yielding ability.
