CLINTONS AT THEIR BEST 3 
We have done a lot of experimenting with seed Oats. Through this 
experimenting, we have developed a special grading process. Insofar as 
; we know no one else has ever used this method in exactly the same man- 
ner 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 special handling shows up in the crop toa very noticeable degree. 
RESULTS OBTAINED 
We sowed our Golden Beauty brand of Clintons next to certified Clintons 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 
whe was not enthusiastic. Some of our most prominent farmers in this area who grow differ- 
ent varieties have told us our Golden Beauty brand Clintons were the best they had on their 
farm. Yield increases of 10 to 15 bu. per acre were reported. 
In the official Story County Iowa yield contest, these Oats were first and about 15 bu. 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 they 
are money ahead by feeding their own crops and using this specially graded seed.

OTHER CERTIFIED CLINTON SELECTIONS 
CERTIFIED CLINTON RE-SELECT 
The Clinton Re-Select Oats is a variety or strain that has been 
selected from the original Clinton production because it showed 
improvement over the old. It is recognized as a distinctly different 
variety and is certified under this new name, Clinton .Re-Select. 
Other States also have made such selections and called them by 
different names, such as Clinton 11 and Clinton 59 which are also 
described on this page. They are very similar to the Clinton Re- 
Select, but in our opinion the Iowa Re-select is the best of the three. 
OUTSTANDING ADVANTAGES 
This variety ripens more evenly than the ordinary Clintons. It 
has straw that stands up even after the grain is dead ripe. The 
grain has thin hulls giving higher feeding value. This variety is 
adapted to Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota and to all of the spring 
oat areas. 
STATE CERTIFIED SEED 
Our Iowa-Re-select are all State certified seed. But please keep 
this in mind that Berry’s certified seed is superior in grade to regular 
eertified seed on the market. To meet certification standards, seed 
must have high varietal purity, free of noxious weed seeds and of 
good strong germination. However, it is not necessary to take out 
all of the small grains or to make a really heavy test weight that 
we do. You are sure to be well pleased with this outstanding Oat. 
See Item No. 177 on Our Price List. The seed is Blue Seal Processed 
(see page 6) and treated with Ceresan M.

Dear Sir: : Y 
I can truthfully say that I don’t believe I could possibly 
get better service or seed anywhere else. I would recom- 
mend Berry seed to anyone. 
Very truly yvuurs, 
Clarence-W. Graham 
CERTIFIED CLINTON 59 
Different States have been working on the Clinton Oats to make 
some refinement especially in the way of more even maturity. They 
have endeavored to produce a better Oat plant selection, rather than 
through the special grading such as we use in our Golden Beauty 
brand of Clintons described at the top of the page. There is no 
question that this selection has brought with it improvement. The 
Clinton 59 is a selection that was made by the State of Indiana. The 
Clinton Re-Select described to the left was developed by the State 
of Iowa. The stock which we have is genuine certified Clinton 59 
and is top quality, heavily graded, blue tag seed. See Item No, 175 
on Price List. 
CERTIFIED CLINTON 11, SELECTION 25 
This is a selection out of a Re-selection and represents perhaps the 
greatest refinement in the variety. In Illinois where this work was 
done this variety has a tremendous popularity. It is so widely 
adapted that we can recommend it as a splendid selection for the 
spring oat section wherever Clintons are grown. We are indeed for- 
tunate to have such a fine supply of State Certified seed this year, 
when good seed oats are really scarce. See item No. 176 on price list. 
The Clinton 59 and Clinton 11 Selection 25 may be Shipped also from 
Sparland, Il.

Dear Sir: 
I have bought all my grass from Berry's for the past 10 
or 12 years. Have always been well satisfied. There is no 
question about saving money. I always receive my seed 
in due time, and in perfect shape. 
Very truly yours, 
Henry W. Engelen
