RUST RESISTANT 
FULGRAIN OATS 
1951 BREEDER’S REGISTERED SEED 
(Tested as Fulgrain 48-107) 
Fulgrain oats were bred and introduced in response 
to a strong demand in the South for an early com- 
bine type. Prior to the development of Fulgrain, the 
only early oat was Fulghum, which lacked storm 
resistance, and also was frequently devastated by 
crown rust. 
By careful re-selection, we have constantly im- 
proved Fulgrain in uniformity, productivity and 
quality. It continues as the outstanding variety 
in the class of very early oats. The only other varie- 
ties of comparable earliness (Fulghum and Delair) 
are susceptible to rust and smut. Fulgrain shows 
high resistance to both of these diseases, and also 
is more tolerant to Victoria blight than Fultex or 
the original Victorgrain. 
Where management or rotation practices call for 
earliness in the grain crop, Fulgrain is unquestion- 
ably the first choice of Southern growers. Year in 
and year out, Fulgrain remains the top favorite of 
early varieties. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Semi-erect habit with wide, dark green blades. 
Cold resistant, profuse tillering, grows to me- 
dium height. 
Rust Resistance: Highly Resistant to crown or leaf 
rust; produced a good crop while susceptible 
varieties were completely destroyed. 
Smut Resistance: Resistant to all prevalent races of 
smut. 
Season: The earliest rust-resistant oat grown in the 
South; 10 to 12 days earlier than Appler. 
BELOW: Note profuse tillering, sturdy straw and excellent production of this field of 1951 Breeder’s 
Registered Fulgrain oats.
