By hot water treating our 
Alpha Barley seed each year we are producing seed absolutely free from smut 
ALPHA BARLEY SOY BEANS 
2 to 2J^ bu. will sow 1 acre 
The most popular two-rowed variety in the East. Alpha is a 
heavy producing large kerneled barley with fairly stiff straw. 
Ripens a little later than the six row varieties; heads do not crinkle 
and break off. This makes it especially desirable for sowing with 
oats. Certified Seed 1 to 10 bu. $1.75 per bu.; 10 bu. or more $1.60 
per bu. Not prepaid. 
CORNELLIAN OATS 
2 to 23 ^ bu. will sow 1 acre 
This oat is grey in color and appears small due to the very thin 
hull. The kernel when removed from the hull is as large as that of 
the larger varieties. The feeding value of Cornellian is very high 
due to the high percentage of meat. A heavy producing, stiff 
strawed variety. 1 to 15 bu. $1.35 per bu.: 15 bu. or more $1.25 per 
bu. Not prepaid. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
We have always taken great care in the selection of Canadian 
Field Peas to get seed that is free from di=ease and will ripen with 
Cornellian Oats and Alpha Barley. Qur seed is grown in the far 
North and has given excellent yields. Each shipment is tested 
for blight at the New York Seed Laboratory. 1 to 5 bu. $3.60 per 
bu.; 5 bu. or more $3..50 Not prepaid. 
Cayuga Soy Beans: wucTd'by the’ N. y Y. ea state 
College of Agriculture and the only variety we can recommend for 
grain production in this state. Cayuga has an upright habit of 
growth with few branches, 246 to 3 ft. high. The stiff stalk bears a 
profusion of pods containing two or three small black beans. 
We have found that under our conditions the most economica 
way to grow Cayuga Soy Beans is to drill them about June 10th on 
a clean piece of ground using all the runs in the grain drill and seed¬ 
ing at the rate of lpj bu. per acre. If weeds are a problem when 
the bean plants are 3 to 4 inches high a weeder or spike tooth drag 
should be used. When ripe they can be cut with a grain binder and 
threshed. 
Cayugas do not shell from ordinary handling and will yield from 
20 to 30 bushels per acre. They contain 37 percent protein and 17 
percent fat. Ground with home grown grain they make an ideal 
high protein dairy feed. Yi bu. $2.50; 1 to 4 bu. $4.50; 4 to 10 bu. 
$4.25; 10 bu. or more $4.00 per bu. Not prepaid. 
"Wil cap "R1 rlr • A tall, fine-stemmed, leafy variety. This 
’’ lloUll JJlctCxV • vigorous growing strain has proven to be 
the best adapted for New York State conditions through experi¬ 
ments conducted at Ithaca. It will produce a heavy succulent 
growth desirable for forage or green manure. 1 2 bu. $2.00; 1 to 
4 bu. $3.25; 4 bu. or more $3.00. Not prepaid. 
Inoculation is perhaps more important for Soy Beans 
than any other crop. Lack of it may cut your yield as 
much as 50 % 
Legume Stimugerm Cultures 
Every crop rotation schedule should include a Legume crop. Legumes, when inoculated with the proper bacteria 
draw nitrogen from the air and convert it into nitrate form, suitable as plant food. Much of this is stored in 
nodules on the roots of the plants for the benefit of future crops, and when the crop itself is turned under, the nitro¬ 
gen in the plants is also returned, to the soil. 
Cultures are obtainable for Alfalfa and all of the Clovers. bushel size, 35c; 1 bushel 65c; 2Rl bushels $1.40. 
Culture for Peas, including Canada Field, Garden and Sweet; Beans, including Garden, Lima, Soy, and Velvet; 
Lupines and Vetch can be had in the bushel size at 35c; 2 bushels, 65c; 5 bushels, $1.40. Prepaid. 
Be sure to specify what crop culture is to be used for. 
NEW TARLESS CROW REPELLENT 
Last year we tried this new Tarless Repellent and believe it is just as effective for use on seed corn as the old 
repellents and much more pleasant to use. It is not sticky, can be applied to the seed in half the usual time and 
will not gum up the planter or drill. It is guaranteed to be effective or your money back. 1 bu. size $.60; 2 bu. 
size $1.00; 4 bu. size $1.50. Postpaid.
