Nursery stock Virginia Richmond Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. 64 T. W. WOOD & SONS, Richmond, Va. SEED Virginia Grey Winter, or Turf Oats. These oats are rapidly making a name and fame for themselves all over the Southern and Middle States. Wherever sown they soon become the principal variety of oats grown. They have long been in high favor in this section; so much so that there are easily ten times as many of the Virginia Grey Winter Oats sown as of any other sort. For Spring Seeding.—These succeed splendidly, and make surer crop and larger yield than Spring Oats, provided they are put in early, before the middle of March. After that time it would be best to seed the White or Black Spring Oats. For Fall Seeding.—The Virginia Grey Winter Oats should be sown broad- cast, at the rate of one-and-a-half to two bushels per acre, in August or September; or further South, can be sown as late as the 20th of October. When sown early, and they get well established, they are as hardy as wheat, and will stand as much cold as that crop. Thev make a good growth before winter sets in, and furnish excellent grazing during the late fall and early spring and during the open spells in the winter without injury to the grain crop afterwards. Their turfing and stooling qualities are remarkable, and even when thinly sown, they will, under anything like favorable condi- tions, soon spread and cover the ground with thick, heavy growth. The yield of grain is large—from 50 to 70 bushels per acre can reasonably be expected on good soil. On rich soils, and under favorable circumstances, they will yield as high as 100 bushels to the acre. The grain is of a dark grey color, with distinct stripe. It is heavier than the ordinary oats, weighing from 35 to 40 pounds to the measured bashel. Price fluctu
