Alpha Barley 
BARLEY 
New York State Certified Seed 
NOTE: We handle only the highest grade seed barley. Samples or in- 
formation regarding purity and germination will be gladly sent to anyone 
interested. 
Cheaper Feed for Hogs, Cattle or Horses. Barley can be raised at 
much less expense and labor than corn and is of equal food value. An 
acre of barley will often produce nearly as much as an acre of corn and the 
expense of raising it is less than half. Barley is an excellent crop with 
which to sow grass or clover seed. 
Barley for Malting. Malt houses require a six rowed barley. Wisconsin 
No. 38 described below is the best malting type to grow in this section 
and we recommend it for this purpose. Alpha being a two rowed barley 
is not suitable for malting. 
ALPHA This is now the most popular variety for feed and is more 
—_————_ largely grown than any other kinds in the East. 
This variety originated at Cornell University and is a two-rowed 
barley with very large, plump heavy grain. The heads are usually 4 to 
5 inches long and well filled. The straw is long, very strong and stands 
up well. The yield on good land is usually 45 to 50 bu. per acre. 
This barley matures later than the common 6 rowed kinds and is 
therefore better for raising with oats, as the two crops mature at the 
same time. Alpha Barley and Cornellian Oats are ideal companion 
crops. This is not a malting barley. 
N. Y. State Certified Seed. Pk. 55c; Single Bu. (48 Lbs.) $1.75; 
Sack of 2 Bu. $3.10; 5 Sacks or more at $3.00 per Sack. Purchaser pays 
transportation. 
WISCONSIN No. 38. A six rowed smooth awn type de- 
veloped by the Wisconsin Agricultural 
Experiment Station that has proved a very desirable type to grow in 
this section. It is especially valuable as a good malting barley. It 
matures about the same time as Alpha, has a fairly stiff straw and 
yields large crops. 
N. Y. State Registered Certified Seed. Pk. 50c; Bu. $1.50; Sack of 
2 Bu. (96 Lbs.) $2.75; 5 Sacks or more at $2.65 per Sack. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 

WINTER BARLEY 
Poland. This is considered the best variety now available for New York 
State. We shall have seed to offer after harvest in August. Write for 
prices and we will quote when seed is ready. 

Harvesting Lenroc Oats on Moreton Farm. 
“T had great success with your Rutgers tomato last season. I planted about 
2 acres with plants grown from your certified seed. Delivered 38 tons, 1740 lbs. 
to a local canning factory, also sold by bushel on market. 
The Lenroc Oats also yielded very good considering the dry season.” 
Joseph Heden, Lockport, N. Y. Feb. 20, 1940.

Japanese Buckwheat 
BUCKWHEAT 
JAPANESE. N. Y. State Certified. The best variety. This is the 
largest and best buckwheat. The plant grows taller, makes a more 
vigorous growth than the common kinds and yields more. The kernels 
are very large, dark brown or black, plump and heavy. 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will often make a profitable crop on 
rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also largely used 
as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in June or July. 
Our strain of this variety has uniform large plump kernels and is not 
mixed with the small grey kinds. We believe ours is the only seed 
certified Japanese Buckwheat grown and offered in New York State 
this year. 
N. Y. State Certified Seed. Pk. 55c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $1.75; Sack of 
2 Bu. $3.00; 5 Sacks or more at $2.90 per Sack. Purchaser pays trans- 
portation. Sample gladly sent on request. 
SEED OATS 
New York State Registered Certified 
There is a vast difference in the purity and quality of seed oats offered 
for sale. Those we offer this year are the finest that can be obtained. 
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’ Certified Seed oats this year and you'll have the best. 
Our oats are of the highest purity and germination. We will not handle 
any other kind. Send for free samples if you are interested in better oats. 
LENROC. A New Heavy Yielding White Oat. This new variety was 
introduced by the Cornell University Agriculture Experiment Station 
in 1935. Over an 11 year period (1924-1934 incl.) it gave an average 
yield per acre of 62.1 bu. or 1.3 bu. higher than Cornellian the next 
highest yielding sort. These made in six counties in New York State 
from 1931-34 inclusive indicate that under most conditions it is superior 
in yield to all varieties tested. 
Lenroc is slightly taller than Cornellian, with white kernels which 
are similar in shape to Cornellian but somewhat larger and plumper. 
The bull 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 white kernels. 
N. Y. State Registered Certified Seed. Pk. 40c; Single Bu. (32 
Lbs.) $1.25; Sack of 3 Bu. $3.25; 5 Sacks or more at $3.00 per Sack, 
Purchaser pays transportation. 
CORNELLIAN. This is a remarkable heavy yielding variety and is a 
favorite oat 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 common 
kinds produced under the same conditions. 
Our seed of this variety is remarkably pure and free from mixture. 
Sample sent on request. 
‘N. Y. State Certified Seed. Pk. 40c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.25; 
Sack of 3 Bu. $3.25; 5 Sacks or more at $3.00 per Sack. Purchaser pays 
transportation. 
RYE 
Used extensively for grain but mostly in our part of the country for 
cover crop. If you have any bare land, sow rye or rye and vetch (see 
page 47). Sown after crops in late summer and fall, it prevents leaching 
and soil erosion, through the winter and early spring. 
CORNELL NO. 76. This robust new variety is the best all round kind 
for grain or cover crops. We will have New York State Registered 
Certified Seed of this variety to offer after harvest in August. If you 
are interested, let us know and we will quote you when the seed is ready. 
Rosen Rye. Standard for cover crops. Ready after harvest. Write for
