ROHRER’S GRASS SEEDS ARE DEPENDABLE 
OATS, Certified Ajax 
_Ajax Is recommended for early planting as a high 
yielding variety, where a tall medium stiff straw is 
satisfactory. Ajax is about 6 days later than Clinton 
or Mohawk. From 5 to 7 inches taller. Higher in yield 
where lodging is not a problem. This variety was orig- 
inated in Canada where our seed is grown. In Penna. 
and New Jersey, State tests the past few years Ajax 
has been one of the top yielders. The seed we offer is 
Registered by the Canadian Department of Agriculture 
and is top quality. See Price List. 
OATS, Certified Beaver 
A medium white, early variety with much disease 
resistance. Was introduced in 1939 and is a cross be- 
tween Vanguard and Erban. In three years’ test at 
Ottawa Experimental Farms, Beaver Oats outyielded 
all other varieties. Grains large and plump; straw 
stiff, 34 to 36 inches in length. The Oats we are offering 
were grown in Canada and are Certified No. 1 seed. 
We suggest you sow a few acres of Beaver Oats this 
year. These Oats weigh 42 pounds per measured bushel. 
Sow two bushels by measure per acre. See Price-List. 
OATS, Certified Clinton 
Clinton Oats is a new variety developed through the 
U.S. Department of Agriculture and State Experiment 
Stations. This variety was bred especially for resistance 
to the more hazardous strains of rust, smut, and blight. 
Clinton Oats are medium early and produce high 
yields in the Oat-growing sections. They have out- 
yielded the older susceptible varieties. Clinton Oats 
are resistant to Helminthosporium and show heavier 
weight per bushel than the older varieties, less hull, 
and higher “‘meat”’ percentage. Highly recommended 
by local State Experiment Stations for spring Oat- 
producing sections. 
An_ excellent combine Oats. They usually stand 
well for a period of seven to ten days after grain is 
first dry enough for safe storage, resulting in less shat- 
tering in the field. See Price-List.

Certified Beaver Oats 
Domestic Rye Grass 
One of the best grasses for a cover-crop. Among the 
most 1mportant characteristics of Rye Grass is its deep 
rooting system. Roots well distributed through the 
soil are a much more desirable form of organic matter 
than top, which, if large when plowed down, may be 
actually detrimental. A good Rye Grass, cover-crop 
turns over in a mass like a real sod when plowed. Can 
be sown before or immediately after last cultivation. 
For a cover-crop, sow 15 pounds per acre. 
When sown alone for pasture, use 20 pounds per acre. 
In mixtures with other grasses, reduce the Rye Grass 
accordingly. See Price-List. 
_ Canada Field Peas 
Used both as a green feed and as a fertilizer. The 
amount of feed produced per acre is very large. Ranks 
very high as a fertilizer, either when plowed under or 
pastured off. Canada Field Peas are most profitable 
when sown with oats. The oats will support the vines 
and lessen the trouble of harvesting. Sow 114 bushels 
of Peas per acre, and about the same amount of oats. 
It will pay you to inoculate your Peas with Legume-Aid. 
See Price-List. 
Bearded Barley 
Barley culture is similar to that of spring wheat or 
oats. ‘To produce large crops of Barley the soil should 
be well prepared to receive the seed. It is heavier than 
oats and will yield more bushels per acre. Barley should 
be sown as early as oats, if possible, but will stand late 
planting better than oats. Sow 2 bushels per acre. See 
Price-List.
