SHENANDOAH VALLEY’S 

LESPEDEZA 

Korean Lespedeza 
Makes an excellent hay crop 10 to 20 inches tall, and equal to 
alfalfa in analysis and feed value. Requires no soil preparation and 
even when closely grazed it grows readily in acid land. Produces two 
to three tons of hay per acre each year and reseeds itself if properly 
cut. Korean Lespedeza makes the best and cheapest pasture in mid- 
summer, for it is practically drought-resistant. It can be cut for hay 
in September. It increases soil fertility and costs less to produce than 
other important legumes. Sow on small grains or on pasture land from 
January 15 to April, 20 lbs. per acre.

SEED OATS 
Sow 64 to 90 lbs. per acre 

_ Oats and other grains yield larger crops of better qual- 
ity when treated with Ceresan to control smut and other 
diseases. Since we are well equipped to treat Oats dur- 
ing the process of cleaning and grading, the additional 
cost is very slight. See page 23 for more detailed infor- 
mation on Ceresan and other du Pont products. 
CLINTON OATS 
Certified Seed 
This is one of the newer varieties of Oats. This is the first year that 
it has been available on a broad scale. Even now there are indications 
that the supply will fall short of the demand. 
Last year, certified seed sold as high, we are told, as $12.00 per 
bushel. Early in the season, before the supply became so short, we 
were asked $5.25 for a bag of 25 pounds. 
Clinton was bred especially for resistance to leaf and stem rust, 
smuts and leaf blight. It is a medium early variety. Kernels are 
yellow, occasionally tinged with brown, are medium large and very 
plump, and have a percentage of groats much higher than the older 
varieties. It is of medium height and frequently remains somewhat 
green when grain is fully matured and ready for harvesting, thus en- 
hancing the value of the straw for feeding. 
It promises to replace many of the old, popular varieties of Oats. 
Certified and treated seed. Bus. $2.90; 10 bus. lots, $2.85 per bus. 
Uncertified bus $2.50; 9-bus. lots, $2.48 per bus. 
BENTON OATS 
This is also a new variety and is for practical purposes a sort of 
companion to Clinton, having been developed by the same agency 
and for similar virtues. The chief difference between Clinton and 
Benton is that Benton is about 5 inches taller. It is adapted where 
taller straw is wanted or more tonnage is required on the farm. 
Certified and treated seed. Bus. $2.95; 10 bus. lots, $2.90 per bus. 
VICLAND OATS 
A variety of Oats that was introduced a few years ago and is 
recommended where a short straw is desired, Treated seed. Bus. 
$2.50; 9-bus. lots, $2.47 per bus. 
LEE COLDPROOF OATS 
The most popular winter Oats in the southeastern part of the 
country. Is also a favorite for spring crop, when seeded in February 
and early March. Produces large heads of heavy grain and stands up 
well. Supply of seed this year is limited. Treated seed, bus. $2.30; 
9-bus. lots, $2.28 per bus. 
COLUMBIA SPRING 
The leading spring Oats for the Southeast, for it matures before hot 
weather and rust can cause damage, and is usually taller, more uni- 
form and erect. Produces a good yield of large, heavy heads containing 
plump grains, 7 to 10 days before other varieties. Treated seed, bus. 
$2.15; 9-bus. lots, $2.13 per bus. 
FULGRAIN 
Has become very popular in Virginia and other eastern states. 
Early maturing, disease resistant. Stools well and is a vigorous grower. 
Its upright growth of medium height makes it easy to combine. Heads 
are large and well filled with rich reddish yellow plump grains. Bus. 
$2.15; 9-bus. lots, $2.13 per bus. 

SWEDISH SELECT 
A heavy-yielding, extra-heavy variety of Oats that is especially 
recommended for Virginia and West Virginia. Produces a good crop of 
both hay and grain on either light or heavy soil. Tall stalks and large 
heads containing plump, heavy grains. Treated seed. Bus. $2.45.
