Our Alfalfas, Clovers And Qrasses Are Hardi], Adapted And The Best Quality Obtainable 
Seed Potatoes 
Seed potato quality depends mostly on (1) freedom from diseases 
carried in the tuber, (2) the breeding back of the strain and (3) con¬ 
dition of the seed. The first two cannot be told by appearances, yet 
are most important. The buyer must depend on the certification tag 
and the word of the seller. Our seed potatoes are from fields that 
were 99.8% to 100% disease free. Each lot is backed by years of 
careful breeding. They are Northern grown, well stored, well graded. 
EARLY IRISH COBBLERS - Best early, yields well, sells well. 
Brings cash in 90 days. We have Price Edward Island certified seed 
and New York seed, muck grown, not certified but from special P.E.I. 
certified seed and rogued. We consider the latter an economical buy. 
GREEN MOUNTAINS - Mid-season variety. It requires cool 
moist condition for best yields. We have N. Y. certified seed from 
extra well bred stock. 
RUSSET RURALS - Deep rooted hardy late potato that yields 
well under adverse conditions. Under favorable conditions it has 
made record yields in the East. Our XL strain comes from a 22 
tuber hill. It has outclassed several hundred other selections in cur 
elimination tests continuing since 1926. No better bred strain is avail¬ 
able. Seed is certified. 
WHITE RURALS - Smooth or White Rurals have same adapta¬ 
tions as Russets. Preferred on some markets. We offer seed from a 
well bred, high yielding, fine type strains. Certified and not certified. 
Sprinq IDheat 
MARQUIS - Best variety. Hardy seed from Northwest. Should 
be planted early. Requires cool climate. 
Buckwheat 
Valuable as a substitute where other plantings have missed, also 
to plow under and for bee pasture. 
JAPANESE - Largest plant, largest kernel, large yield. Requires 
strong ground. Best for cover crop. 
SILVERHULL - Smaller plant, smaller kernel. Better flour. 
Field Corn 
The following best meet the needs of nearly all sections of the 
North Eastern States. In each case, we offer seed from special 
strains backed by years of careful selection. Germination on all lots 
90% or better and seed is extra well graded. 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES - The best silage corn for 
most of this part of the country. Vigorous grower, leafy stalks, 9 to 
11 feet. Big ears of various shades of red and variable type. Makes 
large tonnage of silage of high feeding value. 130 days to maturity. 
IMPROVED LEAMING - Early strain of the original Learning, 
yellow dent corn. Seed from Northern Ohio. Intermediate between 
Sweepstakes and Cornell #11. 
CORNELL 29-3 HYBRID - Out of hundreds of inbred strains 
developed by Cornell plant breeders, certain pairs have been found 
which, when crossed, produced hybrids of great vigor. After many 
trials it has been found that when certain of these better hybrids are 
crossed with each other still more vigorous and still better yielding 
corn is secured. Using inbreds of Luce’s Favorite, Onondaga White, 
Cornell No. 11 and Bloody Butcher in this way, Cornell 29-3 double 
crossed hybrid is produced. It matures in about 110 days, or the same 
as Cornell No. 11. In tests at Ithaca and in other parts of the State 
it has equalled Sweepstakes in green weight, exceeded it in dry 
weight by 10% or 20% and in grain by 40% to 50%. In actual food 
value it yields 25% to 30% more than West Branch Sweepstakes. It 
grows more rapidly and more uniformly. It ears heavily and matures 
just right for silage here in New York and adjacent states. 
In all such hybrids, the superior qualities, are found only in the 
first crop from the crossed seed. Later crops lose their uniformity 
and vigor soon. It does not pay to save seed from them. 
Our 29-3 fields were inspected. The seed is certified. 
YATES FLINT* - A very early high yielding corn of hybrid 
origin, 90 days here. Stalks 6 ft. to 7ft. Ears large, yellow to red, 
mostly amber, 12 rowed. Kernels small. Poultry like it whole. 
SHEFFIELD* - Eight row flint developed in Berkshire Mts. Very 
early. Good yielder. Ear medium size, dark yellow. Stalks medium. 
LAWRENCE* - Eight row flint developed in Northern New Hamp¬ 
shire. Larger ears, light yellow. Good yielder. Very early. Large 
stalks. 
*The flint corns are wilt susceptible and should not be used in 
wilt areas. 
Cabbaqe 
All our cabbage seed is double treated to protect against any dis¬ 
eases that might be carried in or on the seed. If maggots sometimes 
damage your plants, calomel will protect them. Write for directions. 
LOUISIANA COPENHAGEN - 57 days from setting plants, 6 
days earlier than Golden Acre. Ripens more uniformly. 90% ready 
to cut in the first week. Average weight 2.6 lbs. More compact, 
smaller core, better texture, darker color than Copenhagen. Best 
early cabbage yet. 
GOLDEN ACRE - 63 days. Special seed from the originator of 
this fine cabbage. Ripens more evenly than many strains on market, 
and earlier. 
COPENHAGEN MARKET - 73 days. A good yielding, fine type, 
more uniform ripening strain. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN - 85 to 90 days. Heavy yielding 
strain, large round heads, even ripening. 
QUAKER HILL DANISH - 110-115 days. One of three best in 
New York and Pennsylvania tests. Every kernel grown here from 
selected mature heads. More than 20 years’ skilled selection has pro¬ 
duced superiority in yield, shape, solidity, color and keeping quality. 
The fact that hundreds of level-headed cabbage growers will pay $2 to 
$4 more per pound year after year for quaker Hill Danish proves it. 
This extra cost is repaid several times over. Better order today. 
REED’S RED DANISH - Best of all reds. Nearly every plant 
makes marketable head. Very good size, wonderfully solid, beautiful 
color. No later than White Danish and yields nearly as well. 
Soij Beans 
Soy bean hay and grain have high feeding value. The beans con¬ 
tain 30% digestible protein and 14% digestible fats. The crop is 
valuable too for soil improving purposes. Their use is increasing 
rapidly all over the Country. For grain, plant % to 1 bu. according 
to size in 28 in. drills and cultivate; or plant about 114 to 2 bu in 7 in. 
drills and use the weeder as soon as the plants are 4 in. to 5 in. high 
and again in a week, if necessary. For hay or plowing under, plant 2 
bushels with the grain drill. For silage, plant 20 pounds with usual 
amount of corn. Inoculate soy beans with Nitragin Culture “S”. 
The best varieties for the North Eastern States are :— 
CAYUGA - Another contribution from the New York State College 
of Agriculture. Early enough to mature anywhere that corn is grown. 
Matures 90 to 100 days. Upright growth, 2 to 3 feet. Yield 25 to 35 
bushels, small, bluish black beans. Best for grain and excellent for 
hay. 
MANCHU About 110 days to maturity. Very satisfactory for 
planting with silage corn or plowing down. 
WILSON - About 120 days to maturity. Occasionally matures grain 
here, but is recommended primarily for hay, because of large yield of 
finer stems and branches. 
Field Beans 
Our seed is carefully graded for seeding purposes and is hand 
picked. 
ROBUST PEA - High yielding, disease resisting, late maturing, 
small pea bean of fine type and broad marketability. Susceptible to 
one strain of anthracnose and root rot. 
GENESEE PEA - From Cornell. Similar to Robust, except larger 
(often rates as medium) and is resistant to all strains of anthracnose. 
Maturity and yield same as Robust. Susceptible to root rot. 
HONEOYE PEA - From Cornell. Week to ten days earlier than 
Genesee and Robust, otherwise like Genesee. Susceptible to root rot. 
PERRY MARROW - Our strain developed by plant selection for 
large jumbo type. Disease resisting to high degree except root rot. 
Upright growth, little spotting, excellent yielder. Requires care in 
threshing. Few days earlier than Robust. Readily marketable. 
YELLOW EYE - Fairly disease resistant, earlier than Robust. 
Limited market. 
CHILEAN RED KIDNEY - In tests during the past two years, 
Red Kidney beans from Chile, South America, have been just as 
blight free as California Reds and have outyielded them 20% or 
more. They cost less. Maturity and type are the same. 
CALIFORNIA RED KIDNEY - Free from blight infection. Res¬ 
istant to anthracnose. Safer to plant than local grown red kidneys 
which usually carry blight infection. 
FRENCH’S WHITE KIDNEY - Very vigorous growing, disease 
resisting or escaping and high yielding. Slightly different in type 
from true white kidney. Limited market.
