Davis' Improved Early Huron —The Earliest Dent Corn Grown 
This is the earliest dent corn that we know and is a grand variety for New York and New 
England. It is earlier than most strains of Flint or “State Corn” and always gets ripe here if 
planted reasonably early. 
The ears are of medium size, 16-rowed, with deep yellow kernels and red cob. The kernels are 
quite “deep” and the cob small. The stalks grow 7Yeet tall and are not coarse. 
The yield of grain is greater than the Flint or “State” varieties. 
For the Silo. This is a very fine corn for the silo in the most northern parts of the 
country. It is so early that thoroughly matured corn can be produced before danger 
from frost, even in northern localities. 
2 Lbs. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) 90c; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $3.00 
Bag of 2 Bu. $5.75. 
Sweepstakes — Certified Northern Grown 
On our own farm this corn produced twice as many tons per acre as 
other varieties in the same field. The stalks grow 10 to 12 feet high and 
completely covered with leaves from near the ground to the top. The 
are 12 to 15 in. long and 14 to 18 rows of deep kernels. The usual color 
yellow shaded with red. Will mature perfectly for the silo by the 
of September when planted the last of May or first of June. 
The field and shelled corn samples have been inspected by the New 
State Seed Improvement Association and the seed certified to be the 
type. We are confident that there is no better Sweepstakes corn gr

SWEEPSTAKES (West Branch). We can also offer the true West Branch 
seed of high germination. This seed is superior to most of the Sweep- 
stakes offered.

WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. One of the very best varieties. The 
stalks grow a little larger than Learning and the corn matures fully as 
early. The ears are large, 14 to 16-rowed, with deep kernels which are 
yellow tipped with white. We highly recommend this corn for ensilage. 
The seed we offer is high grade and of the strongest vitality. Northern 
Ohio grown.

LEAMING, IMPROVED EARLY STRAIN. Grown in northern Ohio 
and matures a week earlier than corn grown in Iowa and Nebraska. This 
strain of Learning will ripen the ears dry and hard in western New York 
in a favorable season. It is one of the most popular kinds for ensilage in 
this locality and farther south.

Barley Oafs 
It costs a whole lot less per bushel to raise a big crop of oats than it does 
a small one. The difference most often lies in the seed oats used. The 
oats we offer are pure, clean, high yielding and of strong germination. 
CORNELLIAN. This is a remarkable heavy yielding variety and is very 
largely grown in New York State. The heads are large, branching or 
tree-shaped, and stand up well. The kernels are long, rather slender but 
have very thin hulls so the “meat” is large. The color is gray shading to 
almost brown on some kernels. The yield is often 80 bu. per acre, on 
very ordinary land, which is 20 bu. more than common kinds produce 
under the same conditions.

ITHACAN. The heads are branching or panicle type; the straw is 
medium tall and stiff. The yield is much higher than common kinds. 
Matures medium early and does not lodge even on rich land in a nor¬ 
mal season. Very fine. 
Certified Seed. Peck 50c; Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.40; Bag of 3 Bu. (96 Lbs.) $4.00. 
SWEDISH SELECT. This has for years been considered one of the best 
varieties. The heads are clustered but it is not a side oat. The straw is 
medium length and holds up well, even on rich land. The oats ripen 
early and will make good weight, even when sown late. The kernel is 
plump, pure white and with very thin hulls—making this a first class 
oat of high quality for feeding.

SPELTZ or EMMER 
A Russian grain that resembles oats somewhat and is grown in the same 
way. Its principal value is for poor, dry land as it will grow and produce 
a crop on land that is so poor and dry that oats or barley would fail en¬ 
tirely and it yields more bushels per acre than either under the same 
conditions. Often mixed with oats and helps to make larger yield. Grind be¬ 
fore feeding. Sow 2j^ bushels per acre the same way as you would barley.

Cheaper Feed for Hogs, Cattle or Horses. Barley can be raised at 
much less expense and labor than corn and is of equal food value. An acre 
of barley will often produce nearly as much as an acre of corn and the 
expense of raising it is less than half. Barley is an excellent crop with 
which to sow grass or clover seed. 
Alpha Barley 
This is now the most popular variety 
and is more largely grown than any 
other kinds in the Eastern States. 
This variety originated at the Agricul¬ 
tural College at Cornell University. It 
is a two-rowed barley with very large, 
plump heavy grain. The heads are 
usually 4 to 5 inches long and well filled. 
The straw is long, very strong and 
stands up well. The yield on good land 
is usually 45 to 50 bu. per acre. 
This barley matures later than the 
common 6 rowed and is therefore better 
for raising with oats, as the two crops mature at the same time. 
We should be glad to send any one interested a sample.

Alpha Barley 
Spring Wheat 
Spring wheat can be raised anywhere in the northeastern states as well 
as in the West. Sow as early as possible using 2 bu. per acre. 
Marquis. A very early beardless wheat that succeeds well in the East, 
producing larger yields than any other kind. This is due to its earliness 
and freedom from rust.

Eureka. The stalks grow very tall and produce wonderful crops of fodder, 
but it is so late that often no ears at all are produced when grown in the 
North.

Evergreen Sweet Corn for Fodder. Sweet corn makes the finest kind of 
fodder. It is rich in sugar and so tender that cattle eat it up clean. There 
is little or no waste in feeding it and the crop produced is as large as from 
field corn and makes fodder of much superior quality. The seed we offer 
is genuine Evergreen Sweet Corn of good strong germination.
