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 kind 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.

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.

BUCKWHEAT 
JAPANESE. 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 best seed of 
Japanese Buckwheat that can be obtained. 
Pk. 75c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $2.20; Sack of 2 Bu. $4.00; 5 Sacks or more at 
$3.85 per Sack. Purchaser pays transportation. Sample gladly sent

SEED OATS 
New York State 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 Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1935. Over an 11 year period it gave an average 
yield per acre of 62.1 bu. or 1.3 bu. higher than Cornellian, the next 
highest yielding sort. Tests 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 hull 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 Certified Seed. Pk. 50c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.50; 
Sack of 3 Bu. $4.00; 5 Sacks or more at $3.85 per Sack. Purchaser pays

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.

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 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 
prices.
