CORNELL 34-53. New Early Yellow Hybrid for Grain or 
Ensilage. This new variety developed at 
Cornell University is an extremely heavy-yielding yellow corn matur- 
ing earlier than Cornell No. 11 or 29-3 and has proved to be a re- 
markably fine grain and ensilage corn for New York State and other 
Northern sections. It will produce 10 to 15% more grain than Cornell 
No. 11 and the total dry weight for ensilage is at least as great. The 
grain will ripen fully in 110 to 120 days. 
The ears are medium sized (7 to 9 inches long), 14-18 rowed and 
very uniform. They are not quite as large as Cornell 11, but there are 
many more bushels per acre so the total yield of grain is greater. The 
color is pure deep yellow, and the kernels are very deep with a small cob. 
Cornell 34-53 bears tremendous crops of ears, making it an excellent 
grain corn, and has a husky vigorous plant growing 8 to 9 feet tall 
and gives a very heavy yield of ensilage. We highly recommend this 
new variety for grain in most sections and for ensilage in the shorter 
growing season areas.

Vigorous New Yellow Hybrid for Ensilage and 
SILOBRED. Grain. Silobred is a blend of several excellent yellow 
hybrids of about the same season as 29-3. Together they range over 
a period of about one week in maturity. The early hybrids produce a 
high percentage of sound ripe pure yellow corn under most New York 
State conditions, but the greatest value of this variety is for ensilage. 
This corn is especially bred to produce more and broader leaves 
and more succulent stalks, to resist drouth and to stand without 
lodging. When cut for ensilage, it exceeds nearly all other kinds of 
this season in the yield of dry fodder which means more tons of highly 
digestible ensilage. Most of the ears reach the glazed stage of maturity 
in our seasons thereby insuring maximum feeding value. 
Silobred is widely adapted in New York State, New England and 
Northern Pennsylvania, and we recommend it highly.

Treated Corn Grows Better! 
We find that seed corn even of high vitality which 
has been treated with Semesan Jr. has twice the 
chance of growing and making a good stand under 
unfavorable weather conditions, that untreated seed 
has. The cost is so small and the method so easy 
that all growers should take advantage of this easy 
Crop Imsurance. (114 Oz. treats 1 bu. of corn).

All the seed corn we offer (except Silobred) is grown here in Western 
New York from stocks selected for their earliness and high yield or 
from hybrid stock seed obtained directly from the N. Y. State College 
of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y. It is of the greatest importance to grow- 
ers in the northern parts of the country to use seed raised in the North 
and adapted to Northern conditions. This insures early maturity as no 
late corn will get ripe in this locality. 
Our seed corn is carefully grown, fully matured and cured under the 
most approved methods to insure high germination. 
29-3, DOUBLE CROSSED HYBRID. The Best Hybrid Field 
Corn for New York and New England. This excellent variety 
is now established as the best hybrid field corn to grow in this state or 
New England, both for ensilage and for grain where a pure yellow 
corn is not required. Over a five year test period it produced practically 
the same amount of green weight as Sweepstakes, but exceeded that 
variety in dry weight by 11% and in grain about 55%. 
It is the result of years of work by the department of Plant Breeding 
at Cornell University. It is made by crossing pure lines of four separate 
varieties of corn: Luce’s Favorite, Onondaga White Dent, Cornell 
No. 11 and Bloody Butcher. These pure strains are paired and crossed 
by Cornell University. We plant the resulting hybrid seed from each 
pair and make a second cross. This seed is known as double cross 
corn. In this manner the hybrid vigor is carried to the highest point 
with consequent increased yield of forage and grain. 
The ears are good size, even and multicolored, showing to varying 
degrees all the colors found in the parent varieties. Do not grow this 
corn if you desire a pure yellow grain. 
Due to the enormous crops and high proportion of digestible food in 
the ensilage it is the most economical ensilage corn to grow. 
In season it matures about with Cornell No. 11 and in nearly all of 
New York State and New England can also be successfully used for 
a grain corn. Like all hybrid corn it should not be saved for seed, as 
it will not come true the next year.
