WHAT DOES 
IT MEAN? 
UNION BEARDLESS 

Quality in seed grain is reflected in heavier crops. Quality seed, seed that 
is free of weeds and inert material, is bound to give you greater returns per 
acre in yield and if you harvest a clean crop suited to seed purposes you are 
naturally going to secure a premium when you sell. We offer only the best 
in varieties. Because of our modern cleaning facilities you are also assured 
the cleanest and highest quality seed grain. 
“NOT A BEARD IN A BUSHEL.” This is no exag- 
geration, for the seed we offer came to us direct from 
the Experiment Station at Union, Oregon, where this 
variety originated. This stock seed was in turn placed 
in the hands of one of Southern Oregon’s most care- 
ful seed growers who produced from the original seed 
stock, the seed we offer you. Inspection of the grow- 
ing crop convinced us that we at last had really ob- 
tained what could be truly sold as Beardless Barley 
for scarcely a beard was visible in any given area or 
section of the field. 

UNION BEARDLESS BARLEY is leafy thus lending itself suitably for hay. 
It is heavy yielding both in straw and grain. The yield of threshed grain went 
89 bushels per acre. Union did not lodge and the straw is soft and heads 
well filled. If you are seeking a truly beardless barley you'll make no mistake 
in planting UNION BEARDLESS. Union Beardless is twice proved for South- 
ern Oregon and Northern California. First at Talent, Oregon, in the South- 
ern Oregon Trials and the following year by our grower, Mr. O. H. Bohnert of 
Central Point, Oregon. Write for prices and sample. 
BARLEY 
TREBI. A winter-hardy, heavy yielding variety for Southern 
* Oregon. Suited and recommended for spring sowing in colder 
areas. Trebi yielded 104 bushels per acre at the Southern 
Oregon Trials at Talent, Oregon. Trebi is very heavy, white in 
color with a thin hull. Trebi has a good stiff straw, your pro- 
tection against severe lodging. Trebi has been successfully 
grown in Southern Oregon as well as Eastern Oregon and is 
recognized as one of the heaviest yielding bearded strains of 
barley. Write for prices. 
HAANCHEN. Best adapted for spring plating. Used as brewing 
grain. A good yielder on heavy soil. Haanchen threshes out 
beard-free and is very popular with feeders by reason of the 
low fibre content. Haanchen is the heaviest weight barley 
grown. Not recommended for fall sowing. Write for prices. 
OATS 
KANOTA. Still the favorite red oat because of its early matur- 
ity and heavy yielding qualities. Not particularly suited for 
fall planting. We recommend Black Swedish or Winter Gray 
Oats for fall sowing. Write for prices. 
WINTER GRAY OATS. Best suited for fall planting. Heaviest 
yielding oat for hay but matures later than Kanotas. Very 
leafy with slender stalks. We do not recommend Gray Oats 
be planted with alfalfa as they are not substantially developed 
when the first cutting is taken off. Black Swedish would be 
best for the purpose. Write for prices. 
BLACK SWEDISH. Very heavy yielding. Suited best for plant- 
ing with vetch in the fall as it matures evenly with the vetch. 
Also fine for spring planting. Bears large kernels, produces 
abundance of hay, stems coarse but tender and sweet. Heavi- 
est yielding oat for hay. Write for prices. 
WHEAT 
WHITE FEDERATION NO. 38. (Rust-resistant) Introduced by 
us in 1941, it proved all that was claimed for it. Heavy-yield- 
ing—1942 Talent Trial yield was 72 bushels per acre. Planted 
on May 4, 1943, this variety yielded 52 bushels per acre 
without irrigation. Highly resistant to stem rust and bunt 
smut. Gaining in popularity each year. Beardless variety. 
Write for prices. 
BLUESTEM. Best adapted for spring planting. Used as hay and 
desired for that purpose as straw, is soft and very leafy and 
heads are beardles. Write for prices. 
BLUE CLUB. This is an old-time favorite. Will not yield as 
heavily as Federation but is a good combination grain and hay 
variety. Straw is soft and the stems very leafy. Beardless and 
grows quite tall. Write for prices.
