BARLEY, Wong 
BARLEY 
48 lbs. to the bushel; 2 bu. per acre. 
The value of Barley for winter pasturage has not been generally 
recognized, but many southern dairymen have adopted it as one of 
their main crops for this purpose, using it also for hay. If intended to 
be cured for hay, the head should not be allowed to form. Sowings 
are made in both spring and fall. 
Calhoun. Yields well and ripens a little earlier than Wong. A stiff- 
strawed hybrid, this variety shows resistance to mildew and barley 
stripe and to some races of loose smut. It is a six-rowed variety. 
Heads slightly awnleted, but recognized generally as smooth 
headed. Write for prices. 
Wong. A semi-bearded, six-rowed Barley of exceptional merit. It 
has a strong stiff straw, with upright heads, making it easy to com- 
bine. It is resistant to cold and smut and frequently will yield over 
50 bushels per acre. Write for prices. 
Barley, Oats and Wheat should be treated with CERESAN M 
before sowing—a new low-cost grain disinfectant for dry or slurry 
application. 14 ozs. $1.85; 3-lb. can $4.85, postpaid. See page 62.

BUCKWHEAT, 
BUCK WHEAT 
48 lbs. to the bushel; 1 bu. per acre 
Buckwheat thrives where few other plants will; it makes a cheap 
cover crop. In the latitude of Norfolk it may be sown from June to 
August either in drills or broadcast. Requires little preparation and 
is a good crop for bees and for smothering weeds. It also makes 
good flour. 
Japanese. A distinct variety, early and very productive. The plant 
is large and vigorous, and the flour made from it is of the best 
quality. Write for prices. 
OATS 
32 lbs. to the bushel; 2 bu. per acre. 
Andrew. An early-maturing spring open-panicled yellow grain Oat, 
resistant to smut and victoria blight. Write for prices. 
Arlington. An excellent yielder of high-quality Oats. Well adapted 
to Virginia and very desirable for winter pasturage. It grows 
rapidly and is a prolific stooler. Write for prices. 
Fulgrain. One of the most widely grown Oats for grain in Virginia 
and North Carolina. It matures early and is disease resistant; 
stools well. A vigorous grower. Write for prices. 
Victorgrain 48-93. A splendid variety that does well im nearly all 
sections of Virginia and North Carolina and is preferred by many 
growers to Fulgrain. It is resistant to smut and makes a heavy 
yield of both straw and grain. Write for prices. 
RYE 
56 lbs. to the bushel; 11 bu. per acre. 
For winter pasturage few crops compare with Abruzzi Rye. Its 
adaptability to almost all soils and situations is enough to make it a 
universal favorite. Inexpensive, very productive and of remarkable 
nutritive value. It also ranks among the best green manures and is 
very largely used for that purpose. Our Abruzzi Rye is genuine and 
must not be confused with inferior sorts of Rye often offered as 
Abruzzi. 
Abruzzi. The best variety of winter Rye for the South. It is ready 
for grazing about ten days earlier than any other sort and will 
produce nearly as much grain. Write for prices. 
WHEAT 
60 lbs. to the bushel; 11/2 bu. per acre. 
Atlas 66. Very similar to Atlas 50. Beardless, stiff strawed, high 
yielding. Has about the same winter hardiness and maturity. 
Write for prices. 
Atlas 50. Has shown excellent resistance to powdery mildew and 
good resistance to leaf rust. A wonderful yielder of quality grain, 
which has good milling and baking properties. This heavy-yielding 
variety should be tried by every grower of Wheat. Write for prices. 
Vahart. This splendid beardless or smooth variety is an improvement 
on Redhart and does well in nearly all sections of Virginia and 
Carolina. It has stiff straw and fair resistance to stem rust. Write 
for prices. 
Thorne. A beardless or smooth Wheat that has given good results 
m nearly all sections of Virginia and North Carolina. It has a 
relatively short straw, stems up nicely with good grain and yields 
well. Write for prices. 
MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO 
Certified 
6 to 8 lbs. per acre in rows 3 to 31 ft. apart 
A variety of grain sorghum that is being used more and more in 
the South because of its heavy yield per acre. Grows about 30 inches 
high, with heads that vary in length from 6 to 9 inches. The kernels 
resemble those of Yellow Milo. Matures in about 100 days and is 
well adapted to harvesting with a combine harvester. Write for prices. 
HEGARI 
NOTE: Hegari should be used instead of kaffir corn, for it makes 
larger growth and heavier yield. 
50 lbs. to the bushel; 6 lbs. to the acre in 214-ft. rows, 
6 to 8 in. in the row, or 15 lbs. broadcast 
Certified Early Combine Hegari. (105 days.) A valuable grain 
sorghum similar in appearance to kaffir corn, but making larger 
leaf growth. Stools better and gives a heavier yield per acre. It 
has a semi-sweet stalk and will yield 1500 pounds of grain per acre. 
The stalk is readily eaten by animals, either in the process of pas- 
turing off in the field following removal of heads, or in the form of 
harvested forage, which makes it a favorite with farmers and 
livestock men. It also makes good chicken feed. Height 4 feet. 
Write for prices. 
Certified Late Hegari. (120 days.) Similar to Early Combine 
Hegari but grows taller and is about two weeks later in maturing. 
Height 51% feet. Write for prices.
