CERTIFIED OATS 
It costs a whole lot less per bushel to raise a big crop of oats than ii 
does a small one. The difference most often lies in the seed oats used. 
We offer only Certified Seed oats. They are pure, clean, high yielding 
and strong of germination. 
LENROC. Certified. A New Heavy Yielding White Oat. This new 
variety was introduced by the Cornell University Agriculture Experi¬ 
ment 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 coun¬ 
ties in New York State from 1931-34 inclusive indicate that under 
most conditions it is superior in yield to all varieties tested. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 45c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.35; Sack of 3 Bu. 
$3.75; 5 Sacks or more at $3.60 per sack. Purchaser pays transporta¬ 
tion. Seed crop short. 
CORNELLIAN. Certified. 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 60 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.

Harvesting Cornellian Oats on Moreton Farm 
SPRING WHEAT 
Spring wheat can be raised anywhere in the northeastern states as well 
as in the West. Sow as early as possible. 
Marquis. A very early beardless wheat that succeeds well in the East, 
producing larger yields than any other kind. This is due to its earliness 
and freedom from rust. 
Pk. 90c; Bu. $3.00; 2 Bu. or more $2.75 per Bu. Purchaser pays 
transportation. 
WINTER WHEAT 
YORKWIN. (New.) Now considered the best white winter wheat 
grown as it is much more resistant to loose smut than Honor. The heads 
are of good size, smooth chaff, and well filled with kernels of medium 
hardness and are very plump. The yield is high and the milling quali¬ 
ties are very good. The yield is much higher than common kinds. 
We will have certified seed of Yorkwin to offer in August. Lowest 
prices will be quoted after harvest. Please write. 
FORAGE CROPS, COVER CROPS, Etc. 
There are many plants suitable for forage and soiling that should be 
better known and grown more than they are. They are of great value 
both for stock feeding and improving worn-out soil. 
Prices quoted here are subject to market changes and to our stocks 
being unsold. Purchaser pays transportation, except where quoted 
“Transportation paid.” 
We will quote lowest prices on any seed required. 
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 1)4 bu. of peas 
and 1 bu. of oats per acre. 
Pk. $1.20; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $4.45; Bag of 2 Bu. $8.70. 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 with this variety, 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 remaining hay is readily eaten by stock, so 
that there is no waste. 
Sow about the same time corn is planted. It is usually sown broad¬ 
cast. Cut when it heads out, and before the seed ripens. Does best on 
sandy loam or medium light soil. 
Pk. 50c; Bu. (35 Lbs.) $1.65; Sack of 2 Bu. $3.15. 
Golden Millet. Makes a good heavy growth of hay suitable for cattle. 
Grows 2)4 feet high, has large yellow and brown seed heads. Sow in 
July for fall crop. 
Pk. 85c; Bu. (50 Lbs.) $3.10; Sack of 2 Bu. $6.00. 
Hungarian. Matures a week or so earlier than Golden Miller, and 
makes fine quality hay. Grows 2 feet tall. The heads are brown. 
Pk. 90c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $3.15; Sack of 2 Bu. $6.25. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This valuable plant which belongs to the cabbage family, 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, will grow up again. Does well on any good soil but does best on 
rather moist land. The seed is usually sown broadcast, from the 1st to the 
15th of August. This seed is far superior to that usually sold. 
Lb. 20c; transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $1.20; 25 Lbs. or more 
at 11c per Lb.; 100 Lbs. $10.00.
