A New Variety of oats, originating from a cross of Fulghum on Vic- 
toria X Marett’s Winter Resistant made by Marett Farm & Seed Co. in 
1941. This oat combines the Rust and Smut resistance of Victoria with 
the earliness of Fulghum and W R and cold resistance, stiffness of straw 
and kernel quality of Winter Resistant. When tested by the USDA it also 
showed high resistance to Oat Mosaic. 
Anderson Oats, in addition to their other highly desirable character- 
istics, have yielded with the best varieties grown for the past several 
years, in our variety yield test as well as tests conducted at various Experi- 
ment Stations in South Carolina. Due to their very rigid straw, of short 
to medium height, they are especially well suited for combining. Because 
of the urgent need for an oat of this type we are putting them on the mar- 
ket about one to two years sooner than we normally would. This account- 
ing for a little variation in type; to be corrected by a more uniform strain 
as soon as possible.
