Why They Costa 
Little More 
Tf you will first read the 
right hand column you will 
have a better understand- 
ing of what we say here. 
The grading method that 
we use is different from 
what is generally used in 
eleaning oats. We remove 
a much larger percentage 
of the grain than is taken 
out by ordinary method or 
practice. Thus more of it 
has‘ to go in the feed bin, 
which naturally raises the 
cost. We feel certain how- 
‘ ever that this little extra 
cost will come back to you 
many times over. A better 
quality of grain and larger 
yields should result. More 
uniformity in maturity, is the big factor that we believe will 
please you most. One of the nation’s foremost oat breeders 
stated he thought this method had taken out at least half of 
the later strains. This year we are grading them even heavier 
so that they should be still more improved. 
Characteristics of Golden Beauty 
You of course get everything in these oats that you get in 
Clintons. As explained, they are Clinton’s with improvements. 
These oats are outstanding in many respects. 1. Big yields. 
114 bu. per acre are recorded in official Iowa test for Clinton 
Oats. In Ohio 113 bushels per acre. Practically everywhere 
throughout the spring oat section they are a top-notch variety. 
2. Big meaty grains and thin hulls. That means an oat of 
high feeding value. 3. Very strong straw that stands up on 
rich land and stays standing quite a while after oats are ripe. 
4. Wide adaptability to different soils and growing conditions. 
5..Highly disease resistant. Resists smut, most races of rust 
and perhaps most important of all, resistant to Helmintho- 
sporium Blight, That is what is ruining so many oat varieties 
that have been so fine heretofore. That disease seems to he 
spreading. Be sure to plant only blight resistant oats. 
Extra Profits in Golden Beauty 
Golden Beauties may yield as much as 50 bushels per acre 
more than ordinary oats. For example in official Ohio tests 
Clinton’s yielded 113 bu. per acre against Miami oats 63. That 
may be exceptional but 15 to 20 bushels per acre may readily 
be obtained. ~-Even if oats are only 60c a bu. that means $9.00 
more per acre, At present prices your extra profits will be 
much greater. You can make still more by selling your crop 
for seed. Ordinary oats of say 60 bushels per acre at 60c per 
bushel would be $36.00 an acre. Golden Beauties under similar 
conditions may easily yield 80 bushels and even at the ex- 
tremely low price of $1.00 per bushel for seed would give you 
$80.00 an acre.

ATTAIN, GREATER UNIFORMITY 

The Oat That Is 
GUARANTEED 
The shortest description 
we can give on Berry’s 
Golden Beauty oats is 
“They are Clinton Oats 
made better.” That should 
be of interest to you. You 
have read and heard much 
about Clintons, It is an out- 
standing oat, and it has 
been truly sensational. It 
is a great variety but it is 
not perfect. It’s hard to 
find anything perfect, but 
we do feel we have made a 
definite improvement in 
seed stock, 
Nature of the Clinton 
Theos Climton Oat a1s. —a, 
crossed oat. Green Russian 
Oats were crossed with 
Richland to make what is 
called D-69. That was 
crossed with Bond to make 
Clinton. In the growing 
erop of Clinton it some- 
times appears that there 
might. be two strains of 
Green Russian show up. 
There are ripe oats in the 
plant while down below are 
some that are still quite 
green. Fortunately the 
Clinton has a strong straw 
and the grain does not shatter easily. The crop can and should be left 
standing until the entire crop is down to 13% moisture, If cut too green 
the grain will heat. It then may be unfit for seed and might become 
musty and undesirable for feed. Some farmers cut Clintons before they 
are dead ripe and then combine them out of the windrow. That can be 
done or they can be cut with a binder. However if combined from stand- 
ing grain they should be allowed to ripen fully. 
How We Improve Them 
One of our farmer friends in Central Iowa has done a lot of work with 
oats. He got the idea that he could cut down the amount of late maturing 
seed by hand picking the seed he sowed. He knew there had been selec- 
tions made by roguing fields. That means pulling out off-grade plants. 
This was all right with taller plants but the smaller growth underneath 
was overlooked. He figured that these made a little different type kernel 
and those were the ones he picked out. The resulting crop he found was 
greatly improved and matured more evenly. However you can’t hand pick 
seed oats for general farm use. So he came to us to see if we could work 
out a way of taking these same seeds out by machinery, We could and did, 
and he reported even better results than with hand picking. Since this 
was so evidently an improvement we decided to offer them to our cus- 
tomers. We sell them as Berry’s Golden Beauty to distinguish them from 
Clintons that are handled by normal methods. 
These oats are so outstandingly superior that we guarantee them to 
outyield any variety of certified oats. 
Guaranteed to outyield any variety of Certified Oats 

We are so confident that Berry’s Golden Beauty Oats will outyield 
any other variety of Certified oats that we will positively guarantee 
an increase in yield. Sow them side by side so conditions of soil, 
weather, etc. are the same. If Berry’s Golden Beauty oats do not out- 
yield any variety of Certified oats that you grow we will refund to 
you the difference between any extra that you paid us for our Golden 
Beauty over the price you paid for your Certified seed. 
You are fully protected on any extra expense you make in buying 
our Golden Beauty. We do not mean by this that Certified varieties 
like Clinton, Mindo’s, Bentons, ete. are not good oats. They are fine 
and we have them for you. It is our sincere belief however that our 
Golden Beauties are better and we are willing to back it up with the- 
guarantee as set forth above. . 
We introduced that name last year on Oats that we had secured 
from Illinois. At the time we offered them we were certain they 
were Clinton oats but did not have the absolute proof. Théy were 
Clinton’s and we were so advised by a representative of the; United 
Gentlemen: Cameron, Mo. 
It would take up too much space for me to tell all 
about my success with Berry’s Seeds in the past 30 
years. I have dealt with several Seed Companies but 
my last word is for Berry’s. You have better quality, 
germination and prompt service. Your seeds prove true 
to description.

States Department of Agriculture. We grade these oats very care- 
fully and have letters from customers saying that they grew our 
Golden Beauty next to Certified Clintons and our Golden Beauty 
seemed superior. 
Now we have done even more work on the seed and offer you a 
better oat than last year. Many of our old customers grew Golden 
Beauty last year. They know how fine they were. Expect something 
better when you order this year. Insofar as we know there is no 
other company who prepares oats in the same manner and to the 
same degree of separation that we use. 
To be assured of genuine Golden Beauty quality be sure to mail us 
your.order. They cost only a few cents more per bushel than certi- 
fied-Clintons and we consider them worth at least a dollar per bushel 
more for seed purposes. Please order them as early as you possibly

Dear Sir: 
Last Spring I purchased 3 bushel of Golden Beauty, 
Clinton type Oats. I planted these on 1% acres of 
land and the total yield was 135 bushels or an average 
of 90 bu. per acre. They weighed 38 lbs. at 12.5 
moisture test, 

Your truly, Londs A. Ziegler.
