SEEDS FOR FALL -- AUGUST, 1952 
SEED GRAINS 
WHEAT - Quality of seed is excellent this year and because of close prices and good 
supplies we are offering only Certified Seed. 
Three varieties can be considered as new. Seneca was offered for the first time 
last year. It is a soft red winter wheat, red chaffed, stiff-strawed, high in test weight 
and a top producer. It is closely related to Thorne and well adapted to a wide area. 
Pennoll is a new Pennsylvania variety, light chaffed, stiff-strawed, high test weight 
and a good producer. It has considerable resistance to stinking smut. Cornell 595 is 
a white kerneled wheat widely grown in New York State and gradually being tried in Ohio 
and other states. Yields above those of the red varieties are reported. However, it needs 
to be kept separate from the red varieties as mixtures are penalized on the market. 
Four of the older varieties are also offered. Thorne, the most widely grown, 
is smooth, red chaffed and stiff-strawed. Butler is bearded, stiff-strawed, high in 
test weight and less susceptible to scab and stinking smut than the smooth varieties. 
Vigo is noted for winter hardiness, high test weight and large heads and is best suited 
to western Ohio and Indiana. Trumbull is the oldest variety listed, is high in test 
weight, excellent quality and a good yielder. 
RYE - Most customers are interested in rye for plow-under or for pasture. Common rye 
cannot be identified as either Rosen or Balbo but can still be used successfully for 
plow-under while the Balbo is suggested for pasture as it is more leafy and under most 
conditions better suited for early fall or spring pasture. Certified Balbo can be 
secured at a premium price if a customer is interested in producing seed. 
BARLEY - Ohio No. 1 barley is bearded, high yielding and has proven more winter hardy 
and superior to others under Ohio conditions. It is essentially the same as Kentucky 
No. 1 and has performed equally well. Wong is considered as beardless and is stiffer 
strawed than other varieties. Barley is sown ten days to two weeks ahead of wheat so that 
it gets well started before cold weather. Winter oats are not as hardy as wheat, rye or 
barley and are not recommended except where weather conditions are mild. 
GRASSES 
Timothy and Brome grass, both of which are used extensively in fall seedings, are 
priced about the same as last Spring. EHarly reports indicate a smaller seed crop so 
prices may advance before the end of the fall seeding season. Bluegrass and Redtop are 
slightly higher but with larger supplies prices are lower on the Fescues and Ryegrasses. 
Most seeds are ready for prompt shipment with freight paid on orders of 200 lbs. or 
more, and safe delivery guaranteed. Send in your order now.

THE SCOTT FARM SHED CO.
