Grow More And Better Silage With Cornell 29-3 And Haberlandt Soys 
Cabbage 
All our cabbage seed is double treated, with hot w r ater and with 
Semesan, to protect against any diseases that might be carried in or 
on the seed and pre-emergence damping off. 
A mild winter promises plenty of insect trouble. Better plant 
seed in a windy location. Use calomel and tobacco dust to prevent 
flea beetles and maggots. Apply before they appear; after is too 
late. Be prepared to flight cabbage worms with lead arsenate and 
lice with nicotine dust. We can supply you. See prices page 5. 
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. 
GOLDEN ACRE - 63 days from setting. Fine type, early strain 
developed from Copenhagen Market. Smaller heads but more uniform 
and compact. 
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 successful 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. 
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. 
Soq Beans 
Soy bean hay and grain have high feeding value. The beans con¬ 
tain 30% digestible protein and 14% digestible fats. The crop is val¬ 
uable too for soil improving purposes. Their use is increasing rapidly 
all over the Country. For grain, plant Vz to 1 bu., according to size 
in 28 in. drills and cultivate; or plant about 1-Vz to 2 bu. with the 
grain drill or broadcast. Plant shallow 7 , 1" to 2". Use the weeder as 
soon as the plants are 4 in. to 5 in. high and again in a week, if nec¬ 
essary. 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”. See prices page 5. 
The best varieties for the Northeastern States are:— 
CAYUGA - Another contribution from the New York State College 
of Agriculture. Early enough to mature anywhere that com ripens 
Matures 90 to 100 days. Upright growth, 2 to 3 feet. Yields 25 to 35 
bushels, small bluish black beans. Best for grain to feed but not for 
other purposes. 
MANCHU - About 110 days to maturity. Satisfactory for planting 
with early 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. Best for plowing down. Smallest seed. 
HABERLANDT - About 125 days to maturity. Cornell tests 
showed this to be the best soy to plant with such silage corns 
as Cornell 29-3 and Sweepstakes. A non-spreading, upright type 
of growth permits harvesting with little loss of beans, leaves or stems. 
Haberlandt reaches best stage of development when corn is ready to 
cut. Earlier maturing soys decrease com yields by taking more food 
and water, and increase loss of beans by shelling. Later maturing 
soys do not produce enough beans to justify the extra costs. It is 
important to use a soy of the right type and right maturity with 
silage corn. Haberlandt is best for most of this area. 
Be sure to inoculate soys with Nitragin S. 
Field Beans 
Our seed, is carefully graded for seeding purposes and is hand¬ 
picked. See prices page 5. 
ROBUST PEA - High yielding, disease resisting, late maturing, 
small pea bean of fine type and broad marketability. Susceptible to 
one strain of anthracnose. 
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 
CALIFORNIA RED KIDNEY - Free from blight infection. Re¬ 
sistant to anthracnose. Safer to plant than local growm red kidneys 
which usually carry blight infection. Seed hand picked. 
FRENCH’S WHITE KIDNEY - Very vigorous growing, disease 
resisting, and high yielding. Slightly different in type from true 
white kidney. Limited market. 
HELPFUL HINTS 
Avoid maggot injury (snake heads) by planting before or after 
the maggot hatching period. Ask your Farm Bureau. Some growers 
report increased yields from inoculating field beans with Nitragin D. 
Beans respond most to superphosphate. 
Aljalfas 
Most profitable forage crop where conditions are favorable. Good 
stJTids last four to ten years. Plenty of lime, good drainage, fertile 
soil, weed elimination, seed inoculation, hardy seed and right variety, 
plus good judgment, are essential for successful stands. Prices page 5. 
COMMON - Long tap rooted kind, better for, and suited only to, 
deep, well drained, gravelly or sandy soils with natural supply of lime. 
On such soils it draws food and water from the sub-soil and thrives 
even when summer rains are light. Not adapted to shallow or heavy 
soils. For this area only Northern grown hardy seed, should be used. 
We have this kind and it is of the highest purity and germination we 
can buy. 
GRIMM - Branch rooted, variegated blossomed type, better for 
heavy, shallow or poorly drained soils. Resists winter heaving and is 
most winter hardy. Because shallower rooted it is more dependent 
on current rainfall and applied fertility. Hardy northern grown seed 
is necessary for this area. We offer Idaho Certified Blue Tag Grimm 
and Michigan and Idaho Grimm not certified. All are of high purity 
and germination. 
ONTARIO VARIEGATED - Branch rooted type of great hardi¬ 
ness, developed in Ontario, Canada. Same adaptation as Griman. Im¬ 
port regulations require 1% of seed be dyed violet. Our seed is of 
highest quality. 
Clouers 
MEDIUM RED - Month earlier than Mammoth and than Timothy. 
Smaller than Mammoth, but usually makes second growth for hay or 
pasture or seed. Seldom survives second season after seeding. We 
handle only hardy northern growm seed of government verified origin 
and of first quality. Imported seed is not reliable. 
MAMMOTH RED - Larger and later than Medium, also longer 
lived and generally hardier. Only one cutting a season. Ripens with 
timiothy, red top, etc. We offer Michigan growm seed of top quality. 
ALSIKE - Smaller, less upright in growth, longer lived than the 
red clovers. Will grow on soils too wet, dry, acid or poor for red 
clover. Often used in pasture mixture. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER - Hardiest, rankest 
growing of the clovers. Earliest in the spring, latest in the fall. 
Valuable, first, for soil improving, next for temporary pasture, last 
for hay. Lives only two seasons, but will self seed if allowed. Spi'ing 
and summer are best times to sow 7 . Use scarified seed, which germi¬ 
nates more quickly. In spring grains sow two weeks after the grain, 
so clover won’t be too high when grain is harvested. Fall sowing not 
safe here. Unscarified or unhulled seed may be sown late in the win¬ 
ter on pastures, winter grains, or open ground. 
For soil improving, plow under when 12" high, for potatoes, com, 
etc., or allow to reach full height and then plow for fall or next 
spring’s crops. Plowing under in the spring must not be delayed, or 
loss of soil moisture may offset benefits from the clover. 
When growm for pasture the first summer’s growth may be turn¬ 
ed into when 6" high, but should not be pastured too closely. Start 
pasturing the next spring when 6" high and stock heavily enough to 
prevent rank growth. 
For hay cut before blossom buds appear — before stemis become 
tough or woody. A hay crop can be produced after pasturing to June. 
It is important to mow sweet clover high — that is above the first 
branch. Otherwise there will be no further growth. 
WHITE DUTCH - Dwarf type, perennial clover, used for pastures 
and lawns with Kentucky blue and other grasses. Requires good supply 
of lime. 
KENT WILD WHITE - Best clover for pastures and lawm. Rec¬ 
ommended by Cornell pasture expeifs and approved in Soil Conserva¬ 
tion Program. Hardier and more productive than White Dutch. 
Flowers less, spreads rapidly, makes denser sward and pasturage rich¬ 
er in protein. Also increases growth of other pasture plants by 
supplying nitrogen and keeping soil cooler and more moist by the 
mulching effect of its dense growth. 
In a Cornell test, Kentucky Blue Grass plus Kent Wild White 
Clover produced five times as much feed as Kentucky Blue Grass 
alone. Seed only one pound per acre, preferably in Cornell Pasture 
Mixture, or if no better way, broadcast on established pasture, when 
gx’ound is honeycombed with frost. 
IMix the seed with fine sand or other carrier to help sow evenly. 
Our wild white clover seed is Registered Grade A, harvested from old 
pastux-es in County Kent, England, inspected and approved by experts 
at Cambridge. The seed has been examined, tested and approved also 
at the State Seed Testing Laboratory at Geneva Experiment Station, 
Geneva, New York. 
ENGLISH WILD WHITE - Same as above but from another 
county and not registered. Approved for Cornell Pasture Mixture. 
YELLOW TREFOIL - A small legume similar to alfalfa, especi¬ 
ally adapted to pastures. Not perennial, but reseeds freely and so 
persists. Palatable and nutritious. Will grow where white clover 
will not. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. alone or 1 lb. in pasture mixture. Used 
in Cornell Pasture Mixture. Our seed is imported, and approved by 
the Geneva Seed Testing Laboratory.
