BARLEY 
VELVON. A new, heavy-yielding, non-lodging strain of bearded 
- barley. Velvon is winter hardy or yields well, spring planted. 
Because of its upright growing head Velvon does not lodge as 
a other barleys. Velvon produces heavy, plump, white ker- 
nels and its beards are almost entirely awnless. In Talent 
_ Trials, planted in the spring of 1942, Velvon yielded 102.5 
_ bushels per acre. Planted as late as May 4, 1943, this barley 
_ yielded 83.4 bushels per acre. We offer Blue Tag Certified 
_ seed. 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. 
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 been successfully grown in 
Southern Oregon as well as Eastern Oregon and is recognized 
one of the heaviest yielding bearded strains of barley. Write 
or prices. 
4 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 
Beaty with slender stalks. We do not recommend Gray Oats 
" when the first cutting is taken off. Black Swedish or Kanotas 
__ 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.

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 
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 of our Blue Tag certi- 
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.

REX M-1. Strictly a wheat for fall planting. Do not plant in 
spring. Rex M-1 is a beardless, white, semi-soft wheat of 
heavy yielding tendencies. Planted in the fall of 1943 in 
Talent Trials, Rex M-1 yielded 55.8 bushels per acre. Our 
seed is of highest quality, free of ad-mixtures. Write for
