of this variety as compared with any others presently 
available, it is not hard to understand why we have con- 
stantly doubled our acreage for the production of Breeder’s 
Registered Seeds. No other variety possesses such a 
fortuitous combination of the genetic factors for hardiness, 
vigor, earliness, straw-strength, rust-resistance, produc- 
tivity, and kernel characters as does Victorgrain 48-93. 
DESCRIPTION 
Plant: Semi-procumbent—profuse tillering. Cold resistant. 
ideal height—about the same as original Fulgrain. Will 
not interfere with lespedeza or similar crop where 
interplanted. 
Smut Resistance: Resistant to most races, susceptible to 
one race. 
Rust Resistance: Highly resistant to crown rust. 
Blight Resistance: Significantly more tolerant than pre- 
vious strains. 
Season: 7 to 10 days earlier than Stanton, Letoria, Arling- 
ton, Lee. 
Heads: Long and well balanced. 
Straw: Very stiff, storm resistant. Ideal for combining. 
Grains: Larger than in strains previously grown. Attrac- 
tive, bright, resisting weather stain. Plump, well-filled 
groat, high feed value. 
Production: One of the best varieties which we have bred 
or tested. 
Uniformity: The most uniform variety that we have ever 
released.

Below—A respected customer of ours since 1909, Mr. J. N. Dennis of 
Clanton, Ala., is shown in his fine field of Victorgrain 48-93 oats. He 
writes: “I had 4.1 acres measured by an employee of P.M.A. office, drilled 
December 1, 1951 using 1214 bu. of Coker’s 48-93 breeder’s oats on well 
fertilized corn and cotton land, but no fertilizer was used under oats 
at time of planting and 200 lb. of 33% ammonium nitrate per acre was 
used as top dresser in March. On 3rd and 4th of June, 415 bu. of dry 
oats were harvested from this plot of land.”

Above—North Carolina agricultural leader and outstanding farmer, T. B. 
Upchurch, Jr., Raeford, N. C., shown in photo, says, “Our yields of 
your 48-93 oats ran up to more than 90 bushels per acre, and we were 
pleased with the ease of combining and fine quality of grain. Because of the 
early maturity and not too long straw, we have a fine crop of lespedeza 
following the oats which is very important with our cattle and grain 
program.”
