SCARFF’S SEED OATS 
Columbia is an outstanding early variety 

= An early Red Oat with same general ap- 
Columbia pearance as Fulghum or Franklin, how- 
ever matures about a- week earlier than Fulghum which is 
practically same time as wheat is harvested. A wonderful 
Oat for starting grasses of all kinds. It has been a heavy 
yielder and we recommend it to you for a trial at least.

Early—Heavy Yielder—Stiff Straw—Ful- 
Fulghum ghum is a strain of awnless red Oats; ma- 
tures very early. The straw is stiff, taller than the average 
oats and produces good yields in dry and average seasons 
when other varieties are practically failures. Sow as early 
as it is possible to put oats in the ground. Always the best 
yields are from the early drilled fields. Productiveness, 
probably more than any of its other good qualities, has 
contributed greatly to the wide popularity it has attained. 
We have reports of exceedingly heavy yields that other and 
later varieties will find hard to beat in seasons favorable 
for them. Fulghum stools out splendidly and has large heads 
of fine plump grains. Price at bottom ef page. 
Go h r White—Early as Fulghum—Stiff Straw— 
p e Gopher Oats is an early white open head 
variety, producing heavy good quality grain with remark- 
ably stiff and erect straw. The white plump kernel gives 
it a fine appearance and as it contains little hull it is an 
excellent oat for grinding. 
Fills Need for An Early, Heavy 
Yielding White Oats 
The demand for this heavy producing variety was excep- 
tional last season and we have quite a few orders already 
for 1943. If you have not given Gopher Oats a fair trial we 
urge you to sow a small field and compare with the kind 
you have been growing. Price at bottom of page. 
Wa n Introduced by Ohio Experiment Station where 
y e it has made remarkable yields. One of the 
best of all mid-season kinds for Ohio—Wayne has a good 
stiff straw which prevents lodging except in extreme Cases. 
The grain is large and plump. Hull is thin and grinds eas- 
ily. This is a year when every effort should be made to 
insure a heavy crop. We have priced our oats low to give 
you every advantage possible. Your increased yield will pay you many times for having used Wayne seed. Order 
as soon as you know your requirements as our stock of good seed is not large. Price at bottom of page.

. Franklin Oats originat- 
Fr anklin ed as a plant selection 
made in 1922 from the Fulghum variety. 
Its characteristics as compared with 
Fulghum are as follows: The straw is 
longer and decidedly stiffer, it matures 
slightly later than Fulghum, has an open 
panicle type of head, while the heads of 
typical Fulghum tend toward the side- 
head type. The color of chaff of Franklin 
oats is white while the chaff of Fulghum 
is yellow. The kernel color is like that of 
Fulghum (red). The head type and chaff 
color should make it rather easy to iden- 
tify this variety and to maintain pure 
seed stocks. Franklin oats is nearly free 
of abnormal types that occur so fre- 
quently in Fulghum. Price at bottom of 
page.

An old pieture but it tells the story well. 
In the above plots Franklin was compared to two other early 
strains of Oats. Note how well the Franklin stands and others 
have completely lodged. 
Columbia, Fulghum and Franklin § make ideal nurse crops for Alfalfa. They have very few leaves, mature 
early and produce a good crop, too. One bushel seed Oats per acre with 12 pounds Alfalfa has always given 
us a good stand. Fight Canadian Thistles with Alfalfa.
