Wise Cabbage Growers Will “Look For Their Money Where They Lost It” 
Cabbage 
All our cabbage seed is double treated, with hot water 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 bettles and maggots. Apply before they appear; after is too 
late. Be prepared to fight 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 - 100-110 days. Usually one of the 
leaders in experiment station yield trials. Every kernel grown here 
from selected mature heads. More than 20 years’ skilled selection 
has produced 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 V 2 to 1 bu., according to size 
in 28 in. drills and cultivate; or plant about I-V 2 to 2 bu., with the 
grain drill or broadcast. Plant shallow, 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 corn 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 com 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 corn 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 com. Haberlandt is best for most of this area. 
Be sure to inoculate soys with Nitragin S. 
Alfalfas 
Most profitable forage crop where conditions are favorable. Good 
stands 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 northern grown 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 Grimm. Im¬ 
port regulations require 1% of seed be dyed violet. Our seed is of 
highest quality obtainable. 
Clovers 
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 noi'thern grown 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 
timothy, red top, etc. We offer northern grown 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. Spring 
and summer are best times to sow. 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 grown 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 stems 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. 
WILD WHITE - Best clover for pastures and lawn. Recommended 
by Cornell pasture experts and approved in Soil Conservation Pro¬ 
gram. Hardier and more productive than White Dutch. Flowers less, 
spreads rapidly, makes denser sward and pasturage richer 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 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 ground is 
honeycombed with frost. Mix the seed with fine sand or other carrier 
to help sow evenly. 
We offer Registered Grade A Kent County, England, wild white 
clover seed harvested from old pastures which have been inspected 
and approved by experts from Cambridge University. We offer also 
certified New York Wild White Clover seed. Both are approved 
by the Cornell authorities for use in the Cornell Pasture Mixture. 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER - A giant type white clover similar 
to White Dutch but growing large enough to be used for hay. If pas¬ 
tured it equals White Dutch but not Wild White. Recommended in 
hay seedings where 2nd growth is to be pastured or where the field is 
to be mowed for a year or two and then pastured for a time. It is 
used in the Cornell Hay-Pasture Mixture. Sow 1 to 2 lbs. Inoculate 
with Nitragin Culture B. Prices page 5. 
YELLOW TREFOIL - A small legume similar to alfalfa, especi¬ 
ally adapted to pastures. Not perennial, but reseeds freely and so 
persists. Palatable and nutritious. Wall grow where white clover 
will not. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. alone or 1 lb. in pasture mixture. Our 
seed is approved for the Cornell Pasture Mixture. 
BIRD’S FOOT TREFOIL - A wild form developed naturally in 
Eastern New York probably from European seed imported years ago. 
It grows like alfalfa with a deep feeding tap root and a crown with 
many shoots; and it equals alfalfa in productivity and feeding value. 
But unlike alfalfa it can produce on wet and on acid soils and is more 
winter hardy and longer lived. It is hardier also than any of the 
commercial strains. This wild Bird’s Foot Trefoil promises to be that 
long sought substitute for alfalfa on the more acid soils of the North 
Eastern States. It may also substitute for white clover in pastures 
on acid or wet soils. 
Seeding three to five pounds per acre in a mixture with other 
hay or pasture grasses, rather than alone, is recommended. Spring 
seedings of unscarified seed have not been very successful. The seed 
is very hard and slow in germinating. Probably scarified seed would 
do better in spring seedings and probably the unscarified seed should 
be sown in winter or very early spring. The best method is yet to be 
determined. Inoculation is necessary with a strain of bacteria not on 
the market. It will be supplied with the seed. Because of the present 
high price of seed, trial plantings of only an acre or so are recom¬ 
mended. Prices on page 5.
