Cabbage 
All our cabbage seed is 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 pre- 
vented with zinc oxide applied to the soil. 
To help control insects, plant seed in a windy location. Use calo- 
mel to prevent maggots and tobacco dust to prevent flea beetles. 
Apply before they appear; after is too late. Be prepared to fight 
cabbage worms with lead arsenate or rotenone, and lice with nicotine 
dust. We can supply you. 
When grown on yellows free soils the resistant strains usually do 
not yield as well as the corresponding susceptible strains and so should 
be used only on infected soils. 
GOLDEN ACRE - 68 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. 
MARION MARKET - Yellows resistant strain of Copenhagen 
arket. 
GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN - 85 days. Heavy yielding strain, 
large round heads, even ripening. 
GLOBE - Yellows resistant strain of Glory. 
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- 
ao cng Ne in yield, shape, solidity, color and keeping quality. 
old out. 
REED’S SUPERIOR and REED’S +22 DANISH - Offered in 
substitution for Quaker Hill Danish. 
REED’S RED DANISH - 95 days. Best of all reds. Nearly every 
plant makes marketable head. Very good size, wonderfully solid, 
ate color. No later than White Danish and yields nearly as well. 
old out. 
RED ROCK - a good strain offered in substitution for the above. 
Soy Beans 
Soy bean production is increasing rapidly in the Northeast. The 
high protein (30% digestible) and fat (14% digestible) content make 
soys very valuable to live stock farmers to balance their other home 
grown feeds and save the ever increasing cost of purchased feeds. 
For grain, plant % 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 corn. Inoculate soy beans with Nitra- 
gin Culture S. See prices page 5. 
The best varieties for the Northeastern States are:— 
CAYUGA - Early enough to mature anywhere that corn ripens, 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 seasons are 
short. Not desirable for oil extraction. 
SENECA - Another good soy from Cornell. 100 to 110 days. Yellow 
seed. Taller and better yielder than Cayuga but lodges frequently 
when planted solid. Row culture at 21” to 28” is recommended. Best 
soy for most of New York and adjacent areas. 
MUKDEN - About 3 days later than Seneca and earlier than Man- 
chu. | Limited trials in New York show very good yields, stiff upright 
plants, pods high enough to avoid much loss in combining. Looks 
better than Manchu and some think better than Seneca. , 
MANCHU - About 110 days to maturity. Satisfactory for planting 
_ with early silage corn or plowing down. 
WILSON - About 120 days to maturity. Occasionally matures grain 
here, but is recommended primarily for plowing under, because of 
larger growth. Lateness makes curing for hay difficult. 
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. Shape of plant and stage of maturity are right 
for clean harvest and production of maximum feed value. 
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 
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 taprooted 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. Inoculate with Nitragin A. Prices page 6. 
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. We offer hardy northern 
gown certified Blue Tag Grimm and also not certified Grimm. All 
lots are of high purity and germination. Inoculate with Nitragin A. 
ONTARIO VARIEGATED - Branch rooted type of great hardi- 
ness, developed in Ontario, Canada. Same adaptations as Grimm, Im- 
port regulations require 1% of seed be dyed violet. Our seed is of 
highest quality obtainable and was grown in Canada. Use Nitragin A. 
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. Prices page 5. 
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. Use Nitragin A. 
WHITE DUTCH - Dwarf type, perennial clover, used for pastures 
and lawns with Kentucky Blue and other grasses. Requires good 
supply of lime. See Wild White. Inoculate with Nitragin B. 
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 growth. Inoculate with Nitragin B. Prices page 5. 
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 harvest- 
ed from old pastures and New Zealand Certified Wild White Clover. 
Both are approved by the Cornell authorities for use in the Cornell 
Pasture Mixture. Prices page 5. 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER - A giant type white clover similar 
to Wild White in spreading habit, palatability and being a perennial 
but growing large enough to be used for hay. 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 Cornell General Purpose Mixture, 1 lb. per A. This small seeding 
produces good yields of pasture or hay several years after Red and 
Alsike clovers have run out. Ladino yields well on many fields not 
adapted to alfalfa. Ladino has proved itself very valuable in the 
Northeastern States, and deserves wider use. 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. Use 
Nitragin A. 
WILD BIRD’S FOOT TREFOIL - Two types of this plant have 
been discovered in Eastern New York. Both appear to have developed 
naturally probably from Europeon seed imported years ago. The 
broad leafed type grows like alfalfa with a deep feeding taproot 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. 
The narrow leafed type grows close to the ground and is better 
for pasture than for hay. It promises to fill the place of Wild White 
Clover for pasture mixtures on wet or acid soils. 
Early spring seeding is advised and very light covering, 4%” to 
not over %”. Both types give best results when sown in mixture with 
supporting plants. For hay, sow the broad leafed type with the fol- 
lowing; 4 lbs. Bird’s Foot Trefoil, 5 lbs. Medium Red and or Alsike 
Clover and 6 lbs. Timothy or 4 lbs. Red Top per acre. For pasture, 
sow 2 lbs. either type in place of Wild White Clover or in addition to 
other clovers in the Cornell Pasture Mixtures given on page 4. 
Inoculation is necessary. A special strain of bacteria not on the 
market, will be furnished with the seed.
