FIELD CORN 
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, 29-3 is as early 
as Cornell 11 and produces as much silage as Sweep- 
stakes. In sections where Sweepstakes does not ma¬ 
ture, 29-3 adds 10% to the dry matter in the silage. 
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. 3^ 
bu. $2.75; 1 to 4 bu. $5.00 per bu.; 4 bu. or more 
$4.85 per bu. Not prepaid. 
29-3 RECIPROCAL CROSS: This double cross is 
made by using the same parents as the above hybrid 
but making the last cross on the opposite parent. 
It changes the appearance of the seed but does not 
change the crop produced from this seed. You will 
secure the same results no matter whether you use 
the regular or reciprocal cross. 
The seed of this reciprocal cross is yellow large 
broad kerneled. There are about 20% less kernels 
in a bushel of seed than in the regular 29-3. How¬ 
ever the larger kernel insures a more vigorous early 
growth than is common with most hybrids. 
At elevations under 1,000 feet, Double Cross 2Q-3 is excellent for 
both a husking and silo corn.

sure and send “Tom” an entry blank. 
1 peck by Parcel Post $1.70 postpaid; 3^ bu. 
$2.65; 1 to 4 bu. $4.75 per bushel: 4 bu. or more 
$4.60 per bushel 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 90 cts. postpaid; 3^ bu. 
$1.50; bu. $2.40; 4 bus. or more $2.25. 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 90 cts. post¬ 
paid; ^2 bu. $1.50; bu. $2.40; 4 bus. or more 
$2.25. Not prepaid. 
IMPROVED TEAMING: 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 80 cts. postpaid; bu. $1.25; bu. 
$2.15; 4 bu. or more $2.00. Not prepaid.
