THE BEST OAT WE HAVE EVER OFFERED 
This oat was first offered by Coker’s Pedigreed 
Seed Company in the fall of 1950. Its records in 
tests and all round excellent performance convince 
us that Victorgrain 48-93 is the best oat that we 
have ever, so far, been able to offer. The Southern 
oat farmer likes a red oat. He insists on having an 
early maturing oat; an awnless or beardless oat; 
an oat with a plump grain and with high feeding 
value. It must be highly productive, reasonably early 
in maturity, have good storm resistance and good 
cold resistance. Furthermore, growth must not be 
so excessive that it smothers out the young lespedeza 
plants or similar crops which, in many instances, 
are of as much importance as the oat crop. All of 
these good qualities are embodied in Victorgrain 
48-93, and it more nearly approaches the ideal South- 
ern type oat for which we have been working. We 
are pleased to offer our customers Victorgrain 48-93.

LEFT: Mr. J. J. Erickson, a leading planter of Rt. 4, Yazoo City, Miss., 
is shown in photo on left proudly examining an armful of his Victorgrain 
48-93 oats. Here is what he says about his crop: “‘. . . I have been planting 
Victorgrain oats some six or seven years. Last year I planted my crop 
in 48-93, and it’s the best oat I have ever planted. We had a freeze here in 
January. The temperature went to three below zero; lots of wet weather 
early, and practically no rain in May, and I still made 126 bushels per 
acre. I just wouldn’t plant any other oats on my place. Victorgrain 48-93 
also is early enough for me to make a crop of late beans on the same land.” 
BELOW: Our veteran salesman and oat specialist, Bob Entzminger, 
says: “Our Victorgrain 48-93 oat is the best variety to leave the Coker 
farms since I started with the Company 18 years ago.”
