RUST RESISTANT 
FULGRAIN OATS 
1948 BREEDER FOUNDATION STOCK 
One of the most inspiring sights a grain grower 
may see is a field of Fulgrain oats about mid-May 
just after the grain is beginning to ripen and has 
turned from dark green to that beautiful champagne 
color of early maturity. The lighter colored glumes 
or seed coverings flare out from the well filled grains 
and reflect the light of the mid-day sun and the 
long, well balanced, heavily fruited heads standing 
proudly erect on the sturdy stems remind one of a 
Corps of well drilled Cadets drawn up for 
dress parade. 
FIFTEEN GENERATIONS OF 
BREEDING 
Quality as well as yield can be seen in 
a field of Fulgrain oats for this variety 
traces its genealogy back proudly through 
fifteen generations of distinguished ances- 
tors, and each, directed by the skilled hands 
of the plant breeder, has made its con- 
tribution. Undesirable characteristics have 
been eliminated year by year and good 
qualities added and emphasized until now 
this oat stands at its present high point 
of development. Combining early maturity 
with a high degree of resistance to crown 
rust and resistance to all known races of 
smut, its ability to survive below average 
winter temperatures, stand up under un- 
favorable weather conditions and to pro- 
duce top yields of quality grain has brought 
this variety into the forefront of popularity 
in many areas of the Southern oat belt. 
EARLY MATURITY—PROFUSE TILLERING 
Our 1948 Breeder Stock Fulgrain oats grow slightly 
taller than Victorgrain and are recommended for the 
medium to lighter soils where some additional height 
is desired. It matures from 10 days to two weeks ahead 
of Appler or Red Rust Proof and two to three days 
later than Fulghum. Fulgrain is one of the best tiller- 
ing (stooling) oats, is remarkably uniform in type and 
maturity, and is giving a most satisfactory perform- 
ance throughout the winter oat belt of the Southern 
States. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Semi-erect with dark green pointed blades; 
profuse tillering; cold resistant, rust resistant, 
smut resistant.

of Fort Valley, Georgia. Mr. Tabor looks on while our own Bob 
Entzminger gathers in an armful of beautiful Fulgrain heads for 
photographing. 

Fulgrain oats average a 
low percent hull, are heavy 
and of high feeding value. 
Season: 10 to 12 days earlier than Appler and Red 
Rust Proof, 2 to 3 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. 
Production: Better production record than 
parent strain.

These oats treated with 5% Ceresan. 
NOTE: Although our 1948 strain of 
Fulgrain has shown high resistance to all 
known races of smut, we are nevertheless 
treating these seed with Ceresan because 
of the possibility that there are other 
races of smut not yet discovered to which 
this oat may be susceptible, and because of the ad- 
vantages of Ceresan treatment in better, healthier 
stands and increased yields. 
WHY SMUT RESISTANCE IS IMPORTANT 
Of course, we all realize that smut in oats can be 
effectively controlled by treating the seed with cer- 
tain materials before planting. Then why is resis- 
tance to smut important? It is, simply, because hu- 
man nature being what it is, many oat growers either 
do not treat their planting seed or treat them in- 
differently or improperly. The result is that with a 
non-resistant variety infection soon starts from wind- 
borne smut spores or from a contaminated combine 
with a resulting loss to the crop.
