This strain of Ful- 
ghum will mature earl- 
ler ethan seo 4 mele 
ghum oats. The height 
is very satisfactory for 
harvesting with a bin- 
der or with combine. 
It has been one of the 
leading varieties of 

early-maturing oats in eenion of 
Marett’s Pedigreed Fulghum our own variety tests. 
: We have had reports 
Oats — Strain 2 from customers who 
have produced 75 to 
100 bushels per acre. While not as winter hardy as some of our 
other varieties it has a wide range of adaptability for the south- 
east. Put up in 4 bushel bags.

This new strain of Awnless barley represents a further 
selection than that offered last year and is considerably im- 
proved in uniformity. Marett’s Awnless Barley is an early 
variety with a very rigid straw. The heads are smooth, 
resembling wheat in appearance. It stands well for com- 
bining, and will shatter less than our Hooded (Beardless) 
Strain 4. The yields of this strain in our tests have been 
slightly higher than those of the Hooded type, but the 
range of adaptability of the variety as compared with 
Hooded is probably not so great. It is somewhat better 
suited to the Piedmont section than is the Hooded, but fur- 
ther south it may not thrive as well as the Hooded type. 
Marett’s Awnless barley is highly resistant to both stripe 
and mildew. 
Barley is not a “poor land crop”, and should be grown on 
good land. Due to its earliness it requires liberal fertiliza- 
tion at seeding time, and should also be top dressed earlier 
in the spring than other grains. Barley responds profitably 
to good treatment. Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre. We are 
usually sold out of barley before the end of the season, and 
for that reason advise booking orders early. Put up in 2% 
bushel bags.
