SEED OATS 
New York State Registered Certified 
The seed oats we offer this year are the finest that can be obtained. 
Our stocks have been rated as Registered Certified which is the grade of 
the highest purity. 
It costs a whole lot less per bushel to raise a big crop of oats than it 
does a small one. The difference most often lies in the seed oats used. 
Plant Harris’ Registered Certified Seed oats this year and you’ll have 
the best. When you buy oats compare the purity and germination.

LENROC. A New Heavy Yielding White Oat. T his new variety was 
introduced by the Cornell University Agriculture Experiment Station 
in 1935 and originated from a cross made in 1918. Over an 11 year 
period (1921-1931 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 while 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.

Harvesting Lenroc Oats on Moreton Farm 
CORNELLIAN. Tl lis 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 com¬ 
mon kinds produce under the same conditions. 
Our seed of this variety is remarkably pure and free from mixture.

RYE 
Used extensively for grain but mostly in our section for cover crop. 
If you have any bare land sow rye or rye and vetch (see page 48.) Sown 
after crops in late summer and fall it prevents leaching and soil erosion. 
CORNELL NO. 7G. This robust new variety is the best all round kind 
for grain or cover crops. We will have New York State Certified 
Seed of this variety to offer after harvest in August. If you are inter¬ 
ested, let us know and we will quote you when the seed is ready. 
Rosen Rye. Ready after harvest. Write for prices.

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. 85c; Bu. $2.85; 2 Bu. or more $2.65 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 New York State Certified Seed of Yorkwin to offer 
in August. Lowest prices will be quoted after harvest. Pleuse 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.) $4.25; Bag of 2 Bu. $8.40. 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. $3.20. 
Golden Millet. Makes a good heavy growth of hay suitable for cattle. 
Grows 2 x /i feet high, has large yellow and brown seed heads. Sow in 
July for fall crops. 
Pk. 75c; Bu. (50 Lbs.) $2.65; Sack of 2 Bu. $5.00. 
Hungarian. Matures a week or so earlier than Golden Millet, and 
makes fine quality hay. Grows 2 feet tall. The heads are brown. 
Pk. 80c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $2.75; Sack of 2 Bu. $5.50.
