ple HYBRID 
CORN 
YBRID 29-3 is a double cross hybrid Corn developed at 
the Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station by mbreeding 
and crossing. The varieties used in making this double 
cross are inbred strains of Luce’s Favourite, Onondaga White 
Dent, Cornell 11 and Bloody Butcher. 
In Dibble’s Hybrid 29-3 we now have a hybrid Corn that is 
adapted to our eastern conditions. It matures in about 110 to 
115 days and has the widest adaptability of any Corn grown in 
the Northeastern Territory. The ear is 9 to 10 inches long and 
2 inches in diameter, tapering slightly. It is yellow Corn with 
a slightly reddish tinge and showing deep amber between the 
rows. A very distinct-appearing Corn. 
We recommend it for ensilage wherever West Branch Sweep- 
stakes or Leaming is now used, and for grain wherever Golden 
Glow or a late strain of Cornell 11 matures. Comparative tests 
show it produces 40 to 50 per cent more grain at silage-cutting 
time and 15 to 20 bushels more of dry shelled grain per acre at 
husking-time. 
Our seed is from carefully selected, hand-picked ears, thor- 
oughly recleaned, of splendid germination, and we sell it subject 
to your test on our money-back-if-you-want-it guarantee.

DIBBLE’S 
Northern-grown 
SEED CORN 
The utmost care is taken to furnish Seed 
Corn of the highest possible quality, Corn 
that is thoroughly dried naturally or dried 
artificially by the most up-to-date methods 
known, of high germination and of varieties 
that are adapted to the northern and 
eastern states. 
Northern-grown Corn is the only kind 
to plant in the northern states. It is vigor- 
ous, hardy, acclimated, and productive. 
Southern-grown varieties look nice, ger- 
minate well, but do not mature. 
DIBBLE’S 
CORNELL HYBRID 
34-53 CORN 
This hybrid is a double cross 
made by combining four inbred 
Strains of Cornell 11. It re- 
quires about the same length of 
season to mature as regular 
Cornell 11 and ripens approxi- 
mately a week earlier than 
double cross 29-3. It is about a 
week later In maturity than the open- 
pollinated strain of Early Cornell 11. 
If planted before June 1, Hybrid 
34-53 will mature fully ripe grain in 
New York State in all areas where the 
elevation does not exceed 1000 feet, 
though it may fail to do so in some 
seasons In northern New York. On 
good soil the stalks usually attain a 
height of 8 feet or more. The ears are 
from 7 to 9 inches long with from 14 to 
18 rows of yellow kernels. Tests indi- 
cate that it exceeds the parent variety, 
Cornell 11, in yield of grain by about 
10 per cent. 
Cornell 34-53, though primarily a 
grain variety, is a superior silage Corn 
in the shorter-season areas. Though 
only slightly heavier in acre production 
of green weight than the regular 
Cornell 11, it is measurably higher in 
dry weight. Most of this additional 
weight is grain. Tests in areas where 
the growing season is short give evi- 
dence that it will prove more satis- 
factory for ensilage than any of the 
open-pollinated varieties or than later- 
maturing hybrids.
