29-3 for Husking or Silo 
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 for silage 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. 
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. 
1 peck by Parcel Post $1.70 postpaid; y 2 bu. 
$2.65; 1 to 4 bu. $4.75 per bu.: 4 bu. or more 
$4.60 per bu., Not prepaid. 
IMPROVED LEAMING: A popular silage corn. Too 
late to ripen in most sections of New York State ex¬ 
cept under very favorable conditions. Stalk is tall, 
ears large, kernels yellow. One peck by Parcel 
Post 80 cts. postpaid; y bu. $1.25; bu. $2.15; 
4 bu. or more $2.00 per bu., Not prepaid. 
CERTIFIED JONES EARLY YELLOW FLINT: 
A new very early eight-rowed flint that has been 
developed over a period of thirty years by H. L. 
Jones of Oswego, New York. Stalks 7 to 8 ft. high; 
very leafy. Many stalks produce two ears. Mr. 
Jones reports average yields of 150 bu. of ears per 
acre. 
Ears 8 to 10 in. long. Cob very small. Kernels 
medium wide, attractive amber yellow color. Shells 
very heavy. Matures in 80 to 90 days from plant¬ 
ing. Very uniform in ripening. One peck by parcel 
post $1.00 Prepaid; % bu. $1.75; bu. $3.00; 4bus. 
or more $2.85 per bu., Not prepaid. 
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 Parcel Post 90cts. postpaid; ]/ 2 bu. 
$1.50; bu. $2.40; 4 bus. or more $2.25 per bu., 
Not prepaid. 
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 Parcel Post 90 cts. post¬ 
paid; y bu. $1.40; bu. $2.25; 4 bus. or more 
$2.15 per bu., Not prepaid.
