OATS 
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. (Certified.) This is a remarkable heavy yielding variety 
and is very largely grown in New York State. The heads are large, branch¬ 
ing or tree-shaped, and stand up well. The kernels are long, rather slen¬ 
der 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. 
The certified seed of this variety is remarkably pure and free from 
mixture. Sample or analysis sent on request. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 50c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.35; Cag (3 Eu.) 
$3.80. Purchaser pays transportation. 
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. 
Pk. 40c; Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.25; Bag of 3 Bu. (96 Lbs.) $3.50. Pur¬

Harvesting Certified Cornellian Oats on Moreton Farm 
ITHACAN. (Certified.) 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 if grown on rich 
land in a normal season. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 50c; Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.30; Bag of 3 Bu. (96 Lbs.) 
$3.65. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Seeds of FORAGE CROPS, COVER CROPS, Etc. 
There are many plants suitable for forage and soiling that should be 
better known than they are. They are of great value both for stock feeding 
and improving worn-out soil. 
_ » 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Grown principally for the vines which make hay, equal to the best clover 
hay. Sow with oats and cut when the oats head out, but before the grain is 
ripe. This makes excellent hay for sheep, horses and cows. It is as easily 
cured as clover and will yield large crops. Sow 134 bu. of peas and 1 bu. of 
oats per acre. 
Pk. $1.10; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $3.75; Bag (2 Bu.) $7.50. Price for larger 
lots will be quoted by letter at any time. 
MILLET 
JAPANESE. One of the largest millets. Very large crops can be raised, 
nearly double that of common millet. The hay is relished by horses, 
cows and sheep. Even when allowed to ripen its seed and threshed out, 
the hay is readily eaten by stock, there being no waste. 
Sow about the same time corn is planted. It is usually sown broad¬ 
cast at the rate of 10 or 12 quarts (or pounds) per acre. Cut when it 
heads out, and before the seed ripens. Does best on sandy loam or 
medium fight soil. 
Pk. 85c; (35 Lbs.) $2.75; Bag (2 Bu.) $5.00. 
Golden Millet. Makes a good heavy growth of hay suitable for cattle. 
2)4 feet high, has large yellow and brown seed heads. Sow in July for 
fall crop. Use 3 pecks per acre. 
Pk. $1.40; Bu. (50 Lbs.) $4.35; Bag (2 Bu.) $8.50. 
Hungarian. Matures a week or so earlier than Golden Millet, and makes 
fine quality hay. Grows 2 feet tall. The heads are brown. 
Pk. $1.50; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $4.60; Bag (2 Bu.) $9.15. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This valuable plant produces a mass of broad, smooth leaves which are 
greatly relished by sheep and hogs. It can be pastured off and if the stock 
is removed, before it is eaten too close, it will grow up again and give a 
second crop. Will do well on any good soil. Usually sown broadcast, 
using about 5 pounds or 2)4 quarts per acre. Sow from the first to the 
middle of August. This seed is far superior to that usually sold. 
Lb. 25c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $1.00; 25 Lbs. or 
more at 8c per Lb.; 100 Lbs. $7.50. 
Prices quoted here are subject to market changes and to our stocks being 
unsold. Purchaser pays transportation, except where quoted “Trans¬ 
portation paid.” We will quote lowest prices on any seed required. 
COW PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. This is the most popular variety. This is really a 
bean and is used for both hay and plowing under. It grows very rapidly 
and matures early so is valuable for the North. The upright vines are 
not coarse so make excellent hay. Sow in June and the crop can be cut in 
August. Use about 1 bushel of seed per acre in drills 28 inches apart. 
For hay or plowing under, broadcast 1)4 bushels per acre. 
Qt. (2 Lbs.) 30c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. $1.00; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $3.35; 2 Bu. or more at $3.25 per Bu. Subject to market changes. 
VETCH 
HAIRY or SAND VETCH. Vicia viliosa. This is a trailing plant of 
the pea family which grows 4 to 5 feet in length and has dark green 
leaves and small stems. It makes excellent hay, but is most largely used 
as a cover crop. Being a Legume it adds nitrogen to the soil. 
The best time to sow is middle of August to middle of September. 
Mix the vetch with rye. 1 bu. grain and 25 to 35 lbs. of vetch per acre. 
It is best to drill the seed in, but it may be sown broadcast if well 
covered. The rye helps to support the vetch vines and makes them easier 
to mow or plow under. On fairly good soil, vetch will make a great 
growth, forming a mat of vegetation two feet deep. 
A mixture of vetch and rye sown in corn after the last cultivating 
makes an ideal seed bed for potatoes. Plow before the rye heads out. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid; Pk. (15 Lbs.) $3.50; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $10.80; 100 Lbs. $18.00. 
Rye and Vetch Mixed. We can furnish after harvest next summer Hairy 
Vetch and Winter Bye mixed just as harvested at a lower price than for 
the two separate. Write next August for full particulars and prices. 
SPRING VETCH. Vicia satira. Similar to the Hairy Vetch but has 
larger leaves and is not hardy enough to stand the winter in the North. 
It is often called “Winter Vetch” in the South. 
Lb. 25c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (15 Lbs.) $1.35; Bu. (60 
Lbs.) $4.25; 100 Lbs. $7.00. 
SUDAN GRASS 
A Wonderful Forage Plant. Sudan grass succeeds well on dry soil where 
other millets would not amount to anything. Immense yields of excel¬ 
lent hay are obtained, especially when the seed is sown quite early and 
two cut tings are made. If left to mature it grows 5 to 6 ft. tall and makes 
excellent ensilage. Cows, horses and sheep eat it readily and eat it up 
clean. Sow broadcast or drill in rows 20 to 24 inches apart and cultivate 
two or three times. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. in drills or 20-25 lbs. broadcast about the time corn 
is planted in your locality. It can be sown as late as July but in that 
case it will only give one cutting. 
Lb. 35c; 5 Lbs. $1.00 transportation paid. Not paid: 25 Lbs. $3.50; 
100 Lbs. $13.50; 50 Lbs. or more will be supplied at the 100 Lb. price. 
SORGHUM OR CANE 
Early Amber. Best early variety for the northern states. Crop failed. 
SUNFLOWER 
Mammoth Russian. Best for Seed and Silage. Sunflowers are 
quite extensively grown for feeding. Sow in rows 3 to 3 34 feet apart and 
thin to a foot apart. Treat the same as corn. Use 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Sunflower stalks are often used to mix with corn when filling a silo. 
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; Lb. 25c; 5 Lbs. 80c transportation paid. Not 
paid: 25 Lbs. to 50 Lbs. 11c per Lb.; 100 Lbs. $10.00.
