Clintons at Their Best 
We have done a lot of 
experimenting with Seed 
Oats. Two years ago we 
put part of our seed stock 
through a special grading 
process. Insofar as we 
know, no one has ever used 
this method in exactly the 
same manner~-or degree 
that we have used. This 
method removes at least 
30% of the oats from the 
average seed harvested. 
This goes far beyond the 
requirements for cleaning 
certified seed. This shows 
up in the crop in a very 
noticeable degree. 
Results Obtained 
We sowed our Golden Beauty Brand of Clintons next to Cer- 
tified Clinton and they looked like a different variety of oats. 
The soil was the same but the Golden Beauty Brand stood 
about 6 inches higher in the field. Many farmers sowed those 
oats and we have yet to hear from one who was not enthusi- 
astic. Some of our most prominent farmers in this area who 
grow different varieties have told us our Golden Beauty Brand 
CHntons were the best they had on their farm. Yield increases 
of 10 to 15 bushels per acre are reported. 
In the official Story County, Iowa, yield contest, these oats 
were first and about 15 bushels per acre ahead of the second 
best which were Cherokee. Certified Clintons were third. Many 
farmers spoke to us early to be sure of getting some more of 
this seed for next year. Very few dealers are set up to process 
oats as we do our Golden Beauty Brand. Those who have seen 
it grow figure that they are money ahead by feeding their own 
crop and using this specially graded seed. 
Characteristics of Clinton 
Page 3 of this book gives considerable information on this 
variety. Tremendous yields. They beat everything in Iowa 
last year and in 1947. Produced up to 123.8 bu. per acre. Fine 
meaty, thin hulled grains. Strong straw that stands up even 
after grain is dead ripe. Widely adapted to different soils and 
rowing conditions. Highly disease resistant. Resists smut, 
most traces of rust and perhaps most important of all, resist- 
ant_to blight. That is what has caused such tremendous dam- 
age to many of the older varieties in the past few years. You 
can’t afford to take chances. The extra profit in these oats is 
a big thing. 
CLINTON:5S 
Extra Fine—Blue Tag "Certified" 
The Clinton-59 is a selection from the original Clinton oats. Tt gives you all 
those great quality characteristics—and ‘‘Then some.” It’s the “Then some’? that 
is creating a big demand for this special selection. It is a day earlier in maturity. 
That may not sound like much difference but in some years it can mean 5 to 10 
bushels more oats per acre. 
A more important difference is more uniformity in maturity, in plant height, 
and in the general character of the plant and the heads. This is a definite im- 
provement. About the only criticism on the Clinton is the unevenness in maturity 
that is sometimes found. This new ‘59 selection tends to correct. that. 
Greater uniformity: is the big factor of superiority. That—-and a little heayier 
yield. It has averaged about 3 bushels per acre more in a four year test.” That 
extra yield will more than pay the extra cost of the seed so this improved, kitid 
of a crop will actually cost you no more than ordinary seed. The wax t0con- 
sider the matter of seed purchases is to look at it as an investment instead“of an 
expense. It pays big dividends.

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
