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. 
ALPH A This is now the most popular variety for feed and is more 
~ Jargely 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. 
Malt houses require a six rowed barley so that Alpha is not suitable 
for malting.

WINTER BARLEY 
WONG This is a new variety developed by Cornell University and 
~has proved to be the most successful winter barley yet 
found for New York State. 
If sowed in September, it comes through the winter with good 
stands and produces good yields. 
Wong is a six-rowed barley with upright heads and very short 
beards. It has an erect habit of growth and a very stiff straw. Ready 
to harvest in late June and makes a very suitable nurse crop for new 
seedings. 
We expect to have seed of this variety to offer after harvest this 
summer. If you are interested, let us know and will quote you when 
the seed is ready.

Harvesting Lenroc Oats on Moreton Farm 
WINTER WHEAT 
YORKWIN. This variety is now considered the best white winter wheat 
grown as it is much more resistant to loose smut than Honor. The 
heads are of good size, smooth chaff, and well filled with kernels of 
medium hardness and are very plump. The yield is high and the milling 
qualities are very good. The yield is much higher than common kinds. 
We will have New York State Certified Seed of Yorkwin to offer 
in August. Lowest prices will be quoted after harvest. Please write.

Japanese Buckwheat 
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 and many farmers use it for controlling 
weeds. It is very effective for this purpose as the rapid vigorous growth 
crowds the weeds out before they can get started. If plowed under 
before the grain ripens it will add valuable humus to the soil. 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. 80c; Bu. (48 Lbs.) $2.40; Sack of 2 Bu. $4.40; 5 Sacks or more at 
$4.20 per Sack. Purchaser pays transportation. Sample gladly sent on 
request. 
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. 70c; Single Bu. (32 Lbs.) $1.70; 
Sack of 3 Bu. $4.50; 5 Sacks or more at $4.35 per Sack. Purchaser pays

CORNELLI AN. 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.

One of our customers writes about his Lenroc Oats: 
“T got a big yield of oats from the seed I purchased rom you l 
Nearly 100 bushels from a little less fates pene of mee 
broke up tn the fall. I used 500 lbs. of potato fertilizer to the acre which 
I think helped me with a big yield. The man who reaped them, who has 
lived in a grain country, said they were the best and tallest (average about 5 
feet) he had ever seen.” Norman 8S. Soule, Freeport, Maine, Nov. 17, 1942.
