DIBBLE'S ae Double Cross Hybrid COR 
HYBRID CORNELL 29-3 CORN 
YBRID 29-3 is a double cross hybrid Corn de- 
H veloped at the Cornell Agricultural Experiment 
Station by inbreeding 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 Lastern conditions. It matures m 
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 Jong and 2 inches in diameter, tapering 
slightly. It is yellow Corn with a slightly reddish tinge and 
showing deep amber between the rows. Very distinct. 
We recommend it for ensilage wherever West Branch 
Sweepstakes or Leaming is now used, and for grain 
wherever Golden Glow or a late strain of Cornell 11 ma- 
tures. 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, 
thoroughly recleaned, of splendid germination, and we 
sell it subject to your test on our money-back-if-you-want- 
It guarantee.

DIBBLE'S 
HYBRID CORNELL 34-53 CORN 
This hybrid is a double cross made by combining four 
inbred Strains of Cornell 11. It requires about the same 
length of season to mature as regular Cornell 11 and rip- 
ens approximately a week earlier than double cross 29-3. 
It is about a week Jater in maturity than the open-polli- 
nated 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 eleva- 
tion does not exceed 1000 feet, though it may fail to do som 
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 indicate that it exceeds the 
parent variety, Cornell 11, m yield of grain by about 
10 per cent. 
Cornell 34-53, though primarily a grain variety, Is a 
superior silage Corn m 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 gram. 
Tests in areas where the growing season is short give 
evidence that it will prove more satisfactory for ensilage 
than any of the open-pollmated varieties or than Iater- 
maturing hybrids.
