ITHACAN OATS 
THE ITHACAN is a very heavy yielding, thin-shucked variety with plump white kernels. 
The plant stools freely; maturing in mid-season. It is a tree or branching oat with good stiff 
straw of medium height, standing up well. Year after year the average weight is 40 lbs. or better 
per measured bushel. Originated and recommended by Cornell. When shucked 100 Ibs. will give 
about 70 Ibs. of clear meats. The average strains run from 60 to 65 lbs. Better adapted for rich 
soils than Lenroc. All grown personally by us. We have no mustard. 
Price—Recleaned Seed. $1.60 per bu.—bags free. f. 0. b. Cortland, N. Y.

ALPHA BARLEY 
This is one of the very best grains to use as a nurse crop for either clover or alfalfa as it does 
not require so much moisture for heavy straw development. It has a good stiff straw, and will not 
smother out young seeding. A better catch of seeding usually results on land cropped heavily, 
as is the case with cabbage ground, if barley is used as a nurse crop. 
YIELD RECORDS 
Alpha Barley averaged 42.9 bushels per acre for seven years grown in several different New 
York counties. It outyielded all the other improved strains. Beardless and barbless varieties 
did not yeild 3 to 11 bushels as much. 
In New Jersey tests at New Brunswick, Alpha averaged 45 bushels per acre, outyielding all 
others. 
Price—$2.50 per bu. of 48 Ibs., f.o.b., Cortland, N. Y. Jute bags free. Double sacking 5c per
