GRASSES > SEED CORN -  80¥ BEANS 
Machen icatiica, Ohio 
SEEDS FOR FALL -- AUGUST, 1951 
General conditions can't be considered as settled so we won't try to guess seed prices 
for the coming season. However, Government supports on legumes and grasses are 
about the same as last year and seed prospects and carry-over are better than they 
were a year ago. Most folks feel price averages could be lower than they were in 1950-51. 
SEED GRAINS 
WHEAT - Four of the best and most widely used soft red winter wheat varieties are 
quoted. Some prefer one to the other but all are high producers, generally stiff 
strawed and widely adapted. 
Seneca is a new variety offered for the first time this year. It is closely related 
to Thorne, has given slightly higher yields and averaged between one to two pounds 
higher test weight. Stiff-strawed and is expected to replace Thorne in popularity. 
Thorne is red chaffed, smooth, very stiff-strawed, high yielding and the most popular 
variety. Butler is bearded, equally as stiff-strawed and high yielding; is less 
susceptible to scab damage, a little more winter hardy and slightly higher in test. 
Vigo is a smooth variety noted for winter hardiness and high test weight per bushel 
but best suited to western Ohio. Average yield and straw stiffness is slightly under 
Thorne and Butler in Ohio but test weight generally is higher. 
RYE - Rosen type rye is widely used for both grain production and plow under purposes. 
Balbo is more leafy and under most conditions better suited for early fall and spring 
pasture. Demand for Balbo is increasing and supplies of seed that can be guaranteed 
true to variety are limited. _ 
BARLEY - Ohio No. 1 barley is bearded, high yielding and has proven superior to others 
under Ohio conditions. Wong is considered as beardless and is stiffer strawed than 
other varieties. Seeding should be about two weeks ahead of wheat. Winter oats are 
not as hardy as wheat, rye or barley and are not recommended except where weather 
conditions are generally mild. 
GRASSES 
Timothy and Brome Grass, both of which are used extensively in fall seedings, are 
lower in price than last spring. There is a larger carry-over of seed than a year ago 
and prospects are for a normal seed harvest. Bluegrass, orchard grass, red top and 
most of the farm grasses are quoted lower than last season. 
All seed wheat and barley offered by SCOTTS is Ceresan treated, ready to sow. Most 
seeds are ready for prompt shipment with freight paid on orders of 200 pounds or more 
and safe delivery is guaranteed. Send in your order now.
