IMPROVED LEE COLD PROOF OATS 
The hardiest of all Oats for fall sowing. Is being used 
extensively throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware and the Pied- 
mont and Mountain sections of Virginia and the Carolinas. 
In official Delaware test, from plantings made September 
14th, October 1st, and October 15th, the yields obtained in 
1946 harvest were 49.7, 74.4 and 74.0 bushels per acre, re- 
spectively. This fully indicates its high yielding qualities 
and a dependable variety for late planting. Comparisons 
were made with nine other leading varieties, including Ful- 
grain, Letoria and Winter Turf, and Lee Cold Proof topped 
the list of all strains, showing an average increased yield 
from 10 to 35 bushels over other varieties tested. 
FULGRAIN OATS 
‘This is probably the most widely used of all Oats in the 
Carolinas and eastern Virginia. It has proven exceptionally 
winter hardy in these sections and has given outstanding 
yields, ranking first in earliness of all fall Oats. It has 
strong, stiff straw of medium height, making an excellent 
varicty. for combining. The Fulgrain produces probably the 
largest grain of any Oat on the market, making it most de- 
sirab'e for feeding purposes, besides giving good winter 
growih and fine for pasture. -Fulgrain Oats are particularly 
well adapted for sowing in the Coastal sections. Owing to 
its medium height, will withstand heavy wind storms to 
better advantage than the tall growing varieties.

REDHART WHEAT 
As evidence of the popularity and dependability of Redhart 
Wheat, there is more acreage grown for seed purposes and 
passed inspection by the Crop Improvement Association than 
all other varieties combined. In 1946, Pee Dee Experiment 
Station, S. C., test, Wood’s Redhart Wheat was the highest 
yielding of twelve other varieties, yielding 40.9 bus. per acre. 
Redhart is the earliest of all varieties, usually ripening for 
harvest with binder about first week in June in Tidewater 
and Piedmont sections of Virginia. Redhart Wheat has been 
a phenomenal success in Virginia and other Southern States. 
Grows erect and mid-tall; straw is fairly strong, heads 
smooth and fairly <hort, but well filled. It is a consistently 
high yielder of good quality wheat, generally weighing well 
over 60 lbs. per “bushel. 
HARDIRED WHEAT 
A medium variety, about a week later than Redhart. 
Highly resistant to mildew and moderately resistant to leaf 
rust. In official North Carolina tests made in the Coastal 
Plains, Piedmont and Mountain sections of North Carolina, 
it has ‘consistently ranked among the top three varieties in 
yield per acre. In Virginia its use is increasing at a rapid 
rate, due to its high yielding crops, and resistance to disease. 
Amongst our contract growers the past season it gave the 
highest average yield over all other varieties, with Redhart 
a close second. We consider Redhart and Hardired the most 
outstanding and dependable strains for Virginia and the 
Carolinas.
