4. KERNELS: 
5. PRODUCTION: 
6. UNIFORMITY: 
Decumbent early growth, upright 
late season growth, tillers profusely, 
each plant produces many heavy 
heads. 
Medium-tall, straight and stiff, and 
of reddish color. 
Heavy, not too open, and with as- 
cending branches. 
Large, broad, plump, reddish 
brown, straight awn is weak easily 
removed in combining and not ob- 
jectionable. 
High—over a period years, leads in 
Experiment Station tests. 
Very uniform for date of maturity, 
type of plant, height and all other 
characteristics. Our stocks are free 
10. 
EARLINESS: 
RUST 
RESISTANCE: 
SMUT 
RESISTANCE: 
RESISTANCE TO 
of noxious and other weeds, other 
types of oats, other cereal grains 
and crop seed, and of foreign mat- 
ters. 
Mid season—earlier than ordinary 
Red Rustproof oats. 
Immune to race 45 of leaf rust, 
quite resistant to other forms of 
rust. Usually rust epidemics in Nor- 
tex 107 too late to be of importance. 
Relatively free from both covered 
and loose smuts. 
Helminthosporium victoriae: 
Completely immune. This is very 
important since many well-known 
varieties are very susceptible to this 
disease which has become a serious 
factor in oat production.
