FIELD CORN—Continued 
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, mostly 16-rowed, with deep yellow 
kernels and red cob. The kernels are quite “deep” and the cob small. 
The stalks grow 7 feet tall and are not coarse. The yield of grain is 
greater than the Flint or “State” varieties. 
This is a very fine corn for the silo in the most northern parts of the 
country as thoroughly matured corn can be produced before danger 
from frost, even in northern localities. 
We guarantee every pound of this corn that we offer was raised in 
western New York. We have not seen finer corn in a long time.

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.

EVERGREEN-Sweet Corn ffor Fodder. Sweet corn makes the finest kind 
of fodder. 11 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 and of good strong germination.

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

BARLEY 
Cheaper Feed ffor 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. 
Certified 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 Cornell Uni¬ 
versity and 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. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 50c; Single Bu. $1.50; Sack of 2 Bu. (96 Lbs.) 
$2.50; 5 sacks or more at $2.20 per sack. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make a profitable crop on rather 
poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also largely used as a cover 
crop in orchards. Sow in June or July. 
Japanese 
This is the largest and best buckwheat. 
The plant grows taller, makes a more vig¬ 
orous growth than the common kinds 
and yields more. The kernels are very 
large, dark brown or black, plump and 
heavy. 
Our strain of this variety has uniform 
large plump kernels and is not mixed 
with the small grey kinds. Sample 
gladly sent on request. 
Pk. 50c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $1.50; Sack 
of 2 Bu. $2.70. 5 Sacks or more at 
$2.50 per sack. Purchaser pays

The Earliest Dent Corn. 
OATS 
11 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 certified seed of strong germination. 
New LENROC Oats 
These full heads make heavy yields. 
CERTIFIED LENROC. A New Heavy Yielding White Oat. This 
new variety was introduced by the Cornell University Agriculture Ex¬ 
periment Station in 1935 and originated from a cross made in 1918. Over 
an 11 year period (1924-34 incl.) it gave an average yield per acre of 
62.1 bu. or 1.3 bu. higher than Cornellian the next highest yielding sort. 
Lenroc is slightly taller than Cornellian, with white kernels which are 
similar in shape to Cornellian but somewhat larger and plumper. The 
hull is a little heavier but the percentage of meat nearly the same. 
It has proved equal or better in production than Cornellian and is 
superior in color because of the white kernels. Tests made in six counties 
in New York State from 1931-34 inclusive indicate that under most 
conditions it is superior in yield to all varieties tested. 
We have a moderate supply of certified seed to offer which we have 
grown from stock seed furnished by Cornell. Sample sent on request. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 60c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.40; Sack (3 Bu.) 
$4.00. Purchaser pays transportation. 
CERTIFIED 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 or black 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. 
Our certified seed of this variety is remarkably pure and free from 
mixture. Sample or analysis sent on request. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 35c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.00; Sack (3 Bu.) 
$2.75; 5 Sacks or more at $2.55 per sack. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. 
CERTIFIED ITHACAN. The heads are branching or panicle type with 
plump white kernels. The straw is medium tall and still. The yield is 
much higher than common kinds being nearly equal to Cornellian and 
Lenroc. These oats mature medium early and do not lodge even if 
grown on rich land in a normal season. Sample on request.
