Field Seeds Adapted to the North 
FIELD CORN 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-3: It is a 
double cross between pure strains of Luce's Favorite 
and Onondaga White Dent crossed onto Cornell 1 1 
and Bloody Butcher. Originated at the N. Y. State 
E.xpcriment Station at Ithaca, 29-3 is as early as 
Cornell 11 and produces as much silage as Sweep- 
stakes. In sections where Sweepstakes docs 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. 
No. 1 FLAT KERNELS: 1 peck $1.75; yi bu. $3.00; 
1 to 4 bu. $5.00 per bu.; 4 bu. or more $4.85 per 
bu. 
SECOND SIZE FLAT KERNELS: 1 peck $1.50; 
]/i bu. $2.65; 1 to 4 bu. $4.00 per bu.; 4 bu. or 
more $3.85 per bu. 
ROUND KERNELS: 1 peck $1.50; ^ bu. $2.65; 1 
to 4 bu. $4.00 per bu.; 4 bu. or more $3.85 per bu. 
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 and large 
broad kerneled. There are about 20% less kernels 
in a bushel of seed than in the regular 29-3. However 
the larger kernel insures a more vigorous early 
growth than is common with most hybrids. 
1 peck $1.70; K bu. $2.85; 1 to 4'bu. $4.75 per 
bu.; 4 bu. or more $4.60 per bu. 
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. 1 peck $1.00; bu. $1.65; 1 to 4 bu. 
$2.50 per bu.; 4 bu. or more $2.40 per bu. 
IMPROVED TEAMING: A popular silage corn. Too 
late to ripen in most sections of New York State 
except under very favorable conditions. Stalk is tall, 
ears large, kernels yellow. 1 peck 90 cts.; 
bu. $1.50; 1 to 4 bu. $2.40 per bu.; 4 bu. or more 
$2.30 per bu. 
CERTIFIED JONES EARLY YELLOW FLINT: 
A new very early eight-rowed Hint that has been 
developed over a period of thirty years by H. L. 
Jones of Oswego, New York. Stalks 7 to 8 feet high; 
very leafy. Many stalks produce two ears. Mr. Jones 
reports average yields of 1 50 bu. of cars per acre. 
Lars 8 to 1 () inches long. Cob very small. Kernels 
medium wide, attractive amber yellow color. Shells 
very heavy. Matures in 80 to 90"days from planting. 
Very uniform in ripening. 1 peck $1.15; K bu. 
$2.00; 1 to 4 bu. $3.00 per bu.; 4 bu. or more $2.85 
per bu. 
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 feet, the ears are 8 
to 9 inches long and have 14 to 18 rows of yellow 
dented kernels arranged on a small cob. 
LHder favorable conditions Extra Early Cornell 1 I 
will fully mature in 90 days. We have had many re¬ 
ports of yields of over 100 bushels of ears per acre. 
1 peck $1.00; bu. $1.65; 1 to 4 bu. $2.50 per 
bu.; 4 bu. or more $2.40 per bu. 
Orson Robson says: “Certified Cornell 29 3 Hybrid corn was 
developed as a silage corn for the higher elevations where the 
growing season is short. However, we now sell a large part of the 
29 3 seed for both husking and silage at elevations under 1,000 
feet. 
STANLEY’S CROW REPELLENT 
Probably the most popular and best known of all crow 
repellents. 
It positively will not clog any planter. 
It is non-poisonous and will not injure the .seed of any 
kind of corn. 
1 bu. size 60 cts.; 2 bu. size $1.00; 4 bu. size $1.75 
postpaid.
