Coker’s Pedigreed 
RUST RESISTANT 
FULGRAIN STRAIN 7 OATS 
AN EARLY MATURING, HIGHLY UNIFORM 
STRAIN WITH EXCELLENT YIELD RECORD. 
Fulgrain has earned a high rating among south- 
ern oat varieties. This new strain having crown 
rust resistance, extra smut and storm resistance 
coupled with high yield and early maturity is 
still further increasing the value of this variety 
to our Southern agricultural program. 
BEST OF THE FULGRAINS 
In Coker’s Fulgrain Strain 7, we have been able 
to virtually eliminate the occasional beards or 
awns which have been noted in earlier strains. 
It has made the best yield record of any Fulgrain 
oat we have ever bred or tested, and combines 
early maturity with a stiff, storm resistant 
straw and a high degree of resistance to leaf 
or crown rust. 
Fulgrain Strain 7 is somewhat taller than 
Fulgrain Strains 4 and 5, and about 90% as tall 
as Fulgrain Strain 3. The heads are longer and 
well balanced, and the grains are beautiful, 
plump, heavy and of high feeding value. 
UNIFORMITY AND TILLERING 
As a result of the twelve years of selection 
and testing which have gone into the breeding 
of this oat, it is remarkably uniform in type 
and appearance. It tillers profusely and has so 
far shown resistance to all types of smut yet 
discovered. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Semi-erect with dark green pointed blades; 
profuse tillering; cold resistant, rust resist- 
ant, smut resistant; somewhat taller than 
Fulgrain Strains 4 and 5. 
Season: 10 to 12 days earlier than Appler and 
Red Rust Proof, 2 to 8 days later than 
Fulghum. 
Heads: Long, well balanced, heavily fruited. 
Straw: Very stiff, very storm resistant; ideal 
for combining. 
Grains: Beautiful, plump, low per cent hull, heavy, 
high feeding value. Few with awns or beard. 
Preduction: Better production record than parent 
strain.

1945 CROP FULGRAIN OATS WEATHER 
STAINED 
Due to unfavorable growing and _ harvesting 
conditions, our 1945 crop of Fulgrain Strain 7 
Oats are weather stained and not as good in 
appearance as in previous years. However, these 
oats are of good germination, have been care- 
fully recleaned, and are fully up to our standards 
in all respects except color. Because of the ap- 
pearance of the grain, we have reduced the price 
by one dollar per bushel on this new strain. See 
schedule abave. 
SUGGESTIONS ON GROWING CERTIFIED 
OATS 
1. Plant your oats or wheat on land you know 
to be free of noxious weeds, foreign seed or 
volunteer grain. 
2. Never plant on land which was _ planted 
to grain the previous year. Intensive cultiva- 
tion of row crops such as beans or peas planted 
on stubble will not prevent seed from germinat- 
ing and showing up as volunteer plants if the 
land is seeded to grain the following season. 
Also, low lands planted to row crops are usually 
infested with noxious weeds and should not be 
planted in oats for certification. 
3. Never scatter rough stable manure or com- 
post on fields you expect to plant to any of the 
small grains. Seed will go through work stock 
or grazing animals and come up as volunteers 
in such fields. 
4. Be sure every seed is removed from the grain 
drill before going into the field to plant. A 
handful of seed left in a grain drill will spoil the 
appearance of an entire plot of grain. 
5. In all sections where small grains are grown 
seed will be scattered by birds or other means 
to the adjoining fields in that vicinity, and vol- 
unteer plants will result. Volunteer plants are 
those which are not planted by the grain drill 
and appear at random BETWEEN THE GRAIN 
ROWS. If the plants are not exactly in the grain 
row you are safe in assuming they are volunteer 
plants. 
6. Hard seed in vetch often germinate the 
second year and furnish a troublesome source 
of mixture. Small grain growers must recognize 
this fact and plan their cropping system so as 
to avoid this as far as possible.
