SEED OATS 
Has Outstanding Characteristics 
This beautiful oat was developed through the com- 
bined efforts of the Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas Ex- 
periment stations working with the U.S. D. A. Itisa 
selection of crossing Victoria-Richland with Morota-Bond. 
It requires much painstaking work to develop a new variety. 
Thousands of selections are made and discarded before one 
is found with the desirable characteristics and no serious 
defects. 
The grain is big and meaty. You will be especially de- 
lighted with the beautiful appearance of our Gro-Coated 
seed oats. They receive an extremely heavy grading and 
are now all protected by a special Gro-Coat formula de- 
veloped for seed oats. The straw of our Nemaha oats is 
very heavy and strongly resists lodging. They grow about 
as tall as Clintons and are about two to five days earlier in 
maturity. Generally the grain in color is light to a pinkish 
ivory or pinkish with a yellow cast. The hulls are very thin 
which means greater feeding value. You get plenty of 
straw. They stand up well, even when dead ripe. 
The Nemaha oat is resistant to helminthosporium (Victoria) 
blight and to the common races of smut, crown and stem rust. It 
has proven to be an exceptionally heavy yielder of plump, high 
testing grain. This oat has tolerance for both races 45 and 57 
rust. According to one report from one of the largest processors 
in the country it has a larger vitamin B1 content than any other 
oat.

For the Production 
FOUNDATION SEED STOCK ("SF ottsined seca 
The new certification rules that are now being adopted in many states re- 
quire that a seed grower who wants to produce certified seed stock must pro- 
duce it from foundation seed. Foundation seed is kept extremely pure and 
earefully rogued so as to eliminate off types and thus keep the variety just 
as true to name as possible. Naturally it costs more to produce this founda- 
tion seed stock and its sale is more closely regulated. We have been for- 
tunate in acquiring a limited amount of Nemaha foundation seed stock. 
That’s a step above certified seed. If you want to produce certified seed be 
sure to buy this foundation stock. Because of the scarcity we think it best 
to limit the orders to 30 bushels; so if you Wish some of this very finest 
seed stock, please order at once. See Item No. 168 on price list. 
Vee Great Hew... 
Our seed is certified stock. When a new variety first 
comes on the market, the demand is always the greatest 
for certified seed. That gives you complete assurance of 
varietal purity required by state certifying agencies, and 
also the good quality from the standpoint of germina- 
tion. The Mo. O-205 oats therefore, that you will obtain 
from us will give you the finest quality available. 
These seed oats are not as nice to look at as some of 
the other varieties of oats.” The color is not quite as 
attractive. It is a sort of grayish-white. This is due to 
the Columbia parentage. For just strictly eye appeal an 
oat like the Nemaha, described above, or one of our Clin- 
tons, or Cherokee would look nicer. However, where you 
have a serious infestation of these new races of crown 
and stem rust, these other varieties are not as resistant 
or as tolerant to it. We therefore, urge the growing. of 
this variety because you don’t Know how soon these 
diseases are going to hit your area. If that happens in 
your section you will thank us for urging you to sow 
these certified Mo. O-205 Oats. 
This variety is still in extremely short supply. These 
oats have been selling through agents for prices ranging 
up to $8.00 a bushel. Remember when a new variety of 
merit such as this is available Berry’s will always have 
it at prices way below what most others are asking. This 
is not Gro-Coated Brand but Certified. Sacked 3 bushels 
per bag. Supply limited so please order at once.
