REDHART STRAIN 5 WHEAT 
A VARIETY WITH STIFF STRAW, EXTRA EARLY MATURITY 
AND HIGH PRODUCTION. 
Due to an insistent demand by a number of our 
customers who are partial to Redhart wheat 
because of its dependable production, extra earli- 
ness and wide adaptability, we have increased 
and are again offering our Redhart Strain 5. 
FOURTH IMPROVEMENT ON 
ORIGINAL STRAIN 
Redhart Strain 5 is our fourth improvement on 
the original Redhart strain of wheat first offered 
by our Company 28 years ago. It is very similar 
both in type and appearance to Redhart Strain 
4 from which it came but has made a better 
yield record and has shown a higher degree of 
uniformity. It is a week earlier than Strain 1, 
from two to three weeks earlier tham Forward, 
Leap’s Prolific and Fulcaster, and a week earlier 
than Blue Stem and Gasta. 
HEADS ERECT, COMPACT AND 
BEARDLESS

ditions. The heads stand erect, are beardless and 
square with four full rows of grain. The glumes 
fit snugly over the grains and reduce loss from 
shattering. 
The plant is erect in type, broad leafed, good 
stooling and medium dwarf in height. The grains 
are plump and of high milling value. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Erect in type, broad leafed, good stooling, 
3 inches shorter than Redhart Strain 1. 
Straw: Stiff, storm resistant. 
Heads: Beardless, erect, square with 4 full rows 
of grain, cream to yellow glumes that fit 
snugly over grains, and reduce loss from 
shattering. 
Yield: Best of the Redhart strains. 
Season: Very early (a week earlier than Redhart 
Strain 1, escaping much rust injury). 
Grains: Plump, horny, high gluten content, high 
milling value. 
PRICES: 1 to 12 bushels, $4.50 per bushel. 
12 to 48 bushels, $4.25 per bushel. 
Above 48 bushels, $4.00 per bushel.

ABRUZZI STRAIN 18 RYE 
A NEW STRAIN OF THE SOUTH’S LEADING VARIETY 
SUITED FOR GRAIN, GRAZING AND COVER CROP. 
Abruzzi or Italian Rye was discovered by 
agents of the United States Department of Agri- 
culture, while on an exploration trip through 
Italy in search of valuable plants for use in this 
country, and was introduced for the first time 
about January, 1900. 
This rye was tested by the United States 
Department of Agriculture, found to be valu- 
able, and was distributed about 1906, but was 
lost sight of until improved and _ introduced 
again as “Coker’s Pedigreed’” Abruzzi Rye in 
the fall of 1918. 
THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OF RYE BREEDING 
Coker’s Pedigreed Abruzzi rye is descended from 
two plants which were selected in a field of this 
general Abruzzi rye in the spring of 1909 and 
it showed marked superiority to the parent 
strain. For 34 years we have been breeding this 
variety, selecting always for squareness, length 
and diameter of head, size, shape and color of 
grain. Selecting also for earliness, erectness of 
growth and width of blade, we have developed 
higher yielding strains with better grazing value 
and storm resistance. 
Coker’s Pedigreed Abruzzi Rye Strain 18 is a 
remarkably uniform strain with good production 
record suited for grain, gazing and cover crop. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Strong, vigorous, erect in type, broad 
blades, rapid grower. 
Grain: Large, plump, of good color and type. 
Heads: Large, long, square, excellent filling 
qualities. 
Season: Early. 
Straw: Best. Greater than any previous strain 
of Abruzzi, and 10% to 50% more pro- 
ductive than other varieties against which 
it has been tested. 
PRICES: 1 to 12 bushels, $5.00 per bushel. 
12 to 48 bushels, $4.75 per bushel. 
Above 48 bushels, $4.50 per bushel.
