For Southern conditions, oats of the old Appler (Red Rustproof) type 
have for many years been the standard by which all other varieties have 
been compared. And, regardless of the fact that several varieties of oats 
other than of this group have been introduced, claiming one special feature 
or another, there still remains a strong demand for pure seeds of the old 
Appler type. 
In Carolina Red, we offer all of the characteristics found desirable in 
Red Oats, plus added resistance to cold. Moderate tolerance to many races 
of rust and smut is derived from the Victoria parent. Carolina Red results 
from a cross between Nortex and Victoria made by Mr. F. A. Coffman, 
Cereal Crops Division, U. S. Department of Agriculture. 
Yield results have shown the ability of Carolina Red to make oats. In 
1944, Carolina Red led the Clemson test with 93.1 bushels, and also pro- 
duced 88.2 bushels in 1946. In 1945, this was the top yielding oat at both 
the Edisto station in South Carolina and the Georgia Coastal Plains station.
