MARETT’S PEDIGREED 
ANDERSON OATS 
1949 BREEDER FOUNDATION STOCK 
Our Anderson oats, introduced in 1948, continue to excell as a new rust 
and smut resistant oat variety. Originated by the Marett Farm & Seed 
Company, the first work on this oat began in 1941 with the cross of a 
Fulghum on Victoria selection onto our Winter Resistant Oat. Anderson 
is early, has a very stiff combine type straw, considerable cold resistance, 
and resistant to oat mosaic. 
Anderson Oats in addition to these other highly desirable features, 
have yielded with the best varieties grown for the past several years in 
our variety test as well as tests conducted by numerous Experiment 
Stations.
