ROBSON SEED FARMS * HALL, N. Y. 
FIELD CORN 
This open field is the highest point on our farms. Here the crates of corn are set for several weeks after husking 
to air dry. After this it is sorted and placed in narrow wire cribs where drying is completed. All seed corn except 
Improved Learning is grown locally. 
CERTIFIED DOUBLE CROSS HYBRID (29-3): It 
is a double cross between pure strains of Luce’s 
Favorite and Onondaga White dent crossed onto Cor¬ 
nell 11 and Bloody Butcher. Originated at the N. Y. 
State Experiment Station at Ithaca. It has been in 
tests in various parts of the state for the past six 
years. In five counties in New York State this new 
hybrid yielded practically as much green weight per 
acre as Sweepstakes, 10 percent more dry weight, 37 
percent more shelled corn. 
29-3 grows almost as tall as Sweepstakes and is 
much more leafy. These leaves remain green clear 
to the bottom of the stalk until cutting time. This 
variety is especially adapted to Northern New York, 
and in other sections of the state and Pennsylvania 
where Sweepstakes does not mature. It seems to be 
better rooted than Sweepstakes and does not lodge. 
Any surplus that is not needed for the silo can be 
husked. 
As this is a hybrid and is artificially pollinated 
seed should not be saved from the crop you pro¬ 
duce. 1 pk. by Parcel Post $1.75 postpaid. y 
bu. $2.75; 1 to 4 bu. $5.00 per bu.; 4 bu. or more 
$4.85 per bu. Not prepaid. 
CERTIFIED EXTRA EARLY CORNELL 11: In 
many sections of the East, Cornell 11 has been too 
late in maturing to be an ideal husking corn. With 
this in mind we have been breeding for an earlier 
maturing strain of this very desirable variety. 
We now have an Extra Early Cornell 11 that 
ripens fully two weeks earlier than the old strain. 
The stalk is of good height, 7 to 9 ft., the ears are 8 
to 9 inches long and have 14 to 18 rows of yellow 
dented kernels arranged on a small cob. 
Under favorable conditions Extra Early Cornell 11 
will fully mature in 90 days. We have had many re¬ 
ports of yields of over 100 bushels of ears per acre. 
One peck by Parcels Post $1.50 postpaid; y bu. 
$2.00; bu. $3.65; 4 bus. or more $3.50. Not pre¬ 
paid. 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES: A later variety 
than Cornell 11. Produces more tons of green weight 
but cannot be depended upon to fully ripen under 
most New York State conditions. Sweepstakes is 
adapted for silage in this State. The ears are 10 to 
12 inches long, bearing 12 to 14 rows of large kernels. 
Most of the kernels are red with red tips. However, 
this variety always produces a few ears with yellow 
kernels. One peck by Parcels Post $1.50 post¬ 
paid; y bu. $2.00; bu. $3.65; 4 bus. or more 
$3.50. Not prepaid. 
IMPROVED LEAMING: One of the most popular sil¬ 
age corns. Too late to ripen in most sections of New 
York State except under very favorable conditions. 
Stalk is tall, ears large, kernels yellow. One peck 
by Parcels Post $1.25 postpaid; y bu. $1.85; bu. 
$3.25; 4 bu. or more $3.10. Not prepaid. 
CROW REPELLENT WITH TAR 
1 his Repellent is made up according to the formula 
issued and recommended by the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. It has become a standard 
product for the preventing of pulling corn seedlings 
in the field by crows, pheasants, and blackbirds. 
1 bu. size 50 cts.; 2 bu. size 90 cts. Postpaid. 
NEW TARLESS CROW REPELLENT 
Many of our growers have used this new Tarless 
Repellent and report that it is just as effective for 
use on seed corn as those containing tar. It is 
much more pleasant to use as it is not sticky, can be 
applied to the seed in half the usual time and will 
not gum up the planter or drill. 1 bu. size 60 cts.; 
2 bu. size $1.00; 4 bu. size $1.50. Postpaid.
