WATCH SENECA SOY 
Cabbage 
All our cabbage seed is double treated, with hot water and with 
Semesan, to protect against diseases that might be carried in or on 
the seed and pre-emergence damping off. Post-emergence damping off 
can be prevented with zinc oxide. 
To help control insects better plant seed in a windy location. Use 
calomel to prevent maggots and tobacco dust to prevent flea bettles. 
Apply before they appear; after is too late. Be prepared to fight 
cabbage worms with lead arsenate or rotenone and lice with nicotine 
dust. Wie can supply you. See prices page 5 and 6. 
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 days. Heavy yielding strain, 
large round heads, even ripening. 
QUAKER HILL DANISH - 95 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 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 - 95 days. 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. 
Sog 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. Several oil extraction plants 
in New York and Pennsylvania are now contracting considerable acre¬ 
ages. Soy bean production is increasing steadily here in the East. 
For grain, plant Vz to 1 bu., according to size in 28 in. drills and 
cultivate; or plant about 1% to 2 bu., with the grain drill or broad¬ 
cast. Plant shallow, 1" to 2". Use the weeder as soon as the plants 
are 4 in. or 5 in. high and again in a week, if necessary. For hay or 
plowing under, plant 2 bushels with the grain drill. For silage, plant 
20 pounds with usual amount of com. Inoculate soy beans with Nitra- 
gin Culture S. See prices page 5. 
The best varieties for the Northeasteim States are:— 
CAYUGA-Early enough to mature anywhere that com ripens. Ma¬ 
tures 90 to 100 days. Upright growth, 2 to 3 feet. Yields 25 to 35 
bushels, small bluish black beans. Best for grain or hay where sea¬ 
sons are short. Not desirable for oil extraction. 
SENECA - Another contribution by Cornell’s plant breeders. 
Matures 100 to 110 days. Taller and a better yielder than Cayuga, 
it should replace Cayuga where seasons are long enough. Its yellow 
seed adapts it for oil extraction. It can be used for hay too. Seed 
available is very limited. Most of 1940 production will probably find 
a profitable seed m.arket. 
MANCHU -About 110 days to maturity. Satisfactory for planting 
with early silage corn or plowing down. 
WILSON - Abcut 120 days to maturity. Occasionally matures grain 
here, but is recor.nrended primarily for plowing under, because of 
larger growth. 
HABERLANDT - About 125 days to maturity. Cornell tests 
show’ed 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. 
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 pooi’ly 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 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 and was grown in Canada. 
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 northern 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. Wle 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. 
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 lawns. 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 growdh. 
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 Kent County, England, wild white clover seed harvested 
from old pastures and native New York Wild White Clover seed. Both 
are approved by the Cornell authorities for use in the Cornell Pasture 
Mixture. 
LADING 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. Will 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. 
WILD BIRD’S FOOT TREFOIL - A form developed naturally in 
Eastern New York probably from European seed imported years ago. 
It grows like alfalfa wth 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 may prove to be 
that long sought substitute for alfalfa on the more acid soils of the 
Northeastern States. It may also substitute for white clover in 
pastures on acid or wet soils. And it deserves a trial on good soils, too. 
Seeding in early spring, three to five poimds per acre in a mixture 
with other hay or pasture grasses, rather than alone, is recommend¬ 
ed. Usually % to V 2 the seed is hard and requires weeks or even 
months to germinate. Inoculation is necessary. A special strain of 
bacteria not on the market, will be furnished with the seed. 
CRIMSON CLOVER - Used in limited areas for soil improvement 
and cover crop purposes but seldom for pasturage or hay. Cannot 
stand freezing or high temperatures. In Central Jersey and south¬ 
ward, Crimson Clover fall sown in orchards and in or after early har¬ 
vested crops, makes heavy growth during fall. Where summers are 
cool as in Northern New England and New York and at higher eleva¬ 
tions elsewhere it may be sown after com planting time to make a 
green manure crop. Usually sown alone, 10 to 20 lbs. per acre. Inocu¬ 
late with Nitragin Culture B.
