LEE COLDPROOF OATS 
A very well-known variety of winter Oats, which like all so-called 
winter varieties can be seeded in either fall or early spring, up to 
around March 15. For some years it has been the most popular 
variety. New ones have come and some that showed great promise 
have disappeared, but this one has retained its friends. For some 
reason the supply is usually limited; that is the case now. Bus. $1.95: 
9-bus. lots, $1.93 per bus.

LESPEDEZA 
Korean Lespedeza 
Makes an excellent hay crop 10 to 20 inches tali, and equal to 
alfalfa in analysis and feed value. Requires no soil preparation and 
even when closely grazed it grows readily in acid land. Produces two 
to three tons of hay per acre each year and reseeds itself if properly 
cut. Korean Lespedeza makes the best and cheapest pasture in mid- 
summer, for it is practically drought-resistant. It can be cut for hay 
in September. It increases soil fertility and costs less to produce than 
other important legumes. Sow on small grains or on pasture land 
from January 15 to April, 20 lbs. per acre.

CLINTON OATS No. 11 (or No. 59) 
Certified Seed 
Clinton was bred especially for resistance to leaf and stem rust, 
smuts and leaf blight. It is a medium early variety. Kernels are 
yellow, occasionally tinged with brown, are medium large and very 
plump, and have a percentage of groats much higher than the older 
varieties. It is of medium height and frequently remains somewhat 
green when grain is fully matured and ready for harvesting, thus en- 
hancing the value of the straw for feeding. 
You are warned against using “just straight Clinton.’ It has been 
superseded by No. 11 (the Illinois designation) and No. 59 (the 
Indiana designation), which are said to be the same strain. The chief 
advantage of the new strain is that it ripens more uniformly. If 
supplies and prices so dictate, we may stock both No. 11 and No. 59. 
Certified seed, bus. $2.25; 9-bus. lots, $2.23 per bus. Uncertified seed, 
bus. $1.85; 9-bus. lots, $1.83 per bus.

The most popular winter Oats in the southeastern part of the

well. Supply of seed this year is limited. Bus. $1.95; 9-bus., lots, $1.93 
per bus.
