MARETT’S PEDIGREED 
H@QDED BARLEY STRAIN 5 
Our Hooded Barleys have been very popular with growers in the lower 
Piedmont and Upper Coastal Plain, where they seem to be better adapted 
than some other barley types. This latest strain of Hooded is more resist- 
ant to late winter and early spring freezes than previous lines, and this 
lessens risk of damage to the barley in the shooting stage. 
We recommend seeding shallow, 21 bushels per acre, with complete 
fertilizer at planting, and topdressing with Nitrogen carriers in early 
spring. None of our barleys are recommended on thin lands; but on good 
land, with reasonable treatment, Hooded barley will make profitable 
yields. Harvest with binder when the heads are fully browned, but not 
completely dried.
