Clintons at Their Best 
We have done a lot of 
experimenting with Seed 
Oats. Three 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 
eertified 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 
Clintons 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. 
EXTRA HEAVY CLINTON OATS 
Guaranteed to Outyield any 
other Clinton Seed Stock 
More Bushels per acre 
Guaranteed 
In preparing our Golden 
Beauty Brand of Clinton 
Oats all the small, weak 
immature Kernels are elim- 
inated. You get the strong- 
est largest grains. They 
are the kind that make 
vigorous, big healthy 
plants. It is true a pound 
of this extra stock does not 
contain as many grains as 
small seeded kind. There- 
fore you should sow at a 
fairly good rate of around 
2% bu. per acre. 
We have seen what these 
Oats can do and back up 
our belief in their superi- 
ority with this guarantee. 
Sow Berry’s Golden Beauty 
Brand Clintons next to any 
other Clintons. Keep a rec- 
ord of yield at harvest 
time. “If our G.B. brand 
does not outyield the oth- 
ers, we will refund you the 
difference between what 
you paid us for our oats 
and the cost of our ordi- 
nary non-certified Clin- 
tons.” Therefore this Brand 
will cost you no more than 
our ordinary Clintons un- 
less they yield more per 
acre. 
You take no chance on your extra investment and you have every as- 
surance of getting much larger profits.

A number of different Hybrids have been developed in the

CLINTON=59 F CLIN TON =11 
Different states have been working on the Clinton Oats to make 
some refinements especially in the way of more even maturity. They 
have endeavored to produce a better Oats through plant selection, 
rather than through the special grading such as we use in our 
Golden Beauty brand of Clintons described above. There is no 
question that this selection has brought with it improvements. This 
Clinton 59 is a selection that was made by the State of Indiana. 
Towa has also made a reselection, they simply call it the Clinton 
Re-Select instead of giving it a different number, but that is really: 
what all of these are. The stock that we have is the genuine cer- 
tified Clinton 59, and is first class, heavily graded blue tag quality 
seed.

30 Years of Satisfactory Service 
Gentlemen: Cameron, Mo. 
It would take up too much space for me to tell all 
‘about my success with Berry’s Seeds in the past 30 
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 
to description. 3 
Yours, Gordon C. Littrell. 

This is another re-selection of the Clintons. This one is made by 
the State of Illinois. As with the Iowa Re-Select described on page 
8, it tends to give more uniformity than is obtainable in the original 
Clintons. We have not been Able to detect a great deal of differ- 
ence between the three new selections. Personally our choice on 
the Oats in the Clinton line would be either our Golden Beauty brand 
described above or the Iowa Re-Select that is described on page 3. 
However, we have all of these Oats available including this Illinois 
Clinton 11 and have it in certified seed. We do recommend that you 
purchase one of these three re-selections or the ‘Golden Beauty 
brand described above. You will find quite a different Oat in the 
Cherokee and Colo described on page 8. Seed Oats are not plentiful. 
There-is a tremendous demand for Oats. We would recommend that 
you place your order for your seed Oats just as early as possible,
