Plant Eastern Grown Hybrids 
CERTIFIED HYBRID 
FIELD CORN 
EARLY VARIETIES 
CERTIFIED CORNELL 35-5: A new early yellow 
field corn; slightly earlier than Cornell 34-53 and, 
we believe, will yield more bushels per acre. Stalk 
7 to 8 ft., ears 8 to 9 inches, kernels narrow, deep, 
yellow. No. 1 flat kernels: 1 peck $2.40; % bu. 
$4.25; 1 bu. $8.00; 2 bu. $15.75. 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 34-53: A new 
vellow dent hybrid husking corn for those sections 
that have been growing Early Cornell 11. Ten days 
earlier than 29-3. More uniform maturity and 10 to 
15 per cent greater yield than Early Cornell 11. 
Leafy stalk 7 to 9 feet, ears 8 to9 inches long. Excel- 
lent silage variety for high elevations where growing 
season is short. No. 1 Flat Kernels: 1 peck 
$2.40; 1% bu. $4.25; 1 bu. $8.00; 2 bu. $15.75. 
MID-SEASON VARIETIES 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-3: A double 
cross between pure strains of Luce’s Favorite and 
Onondaga White Dent crossed onto Cornell 11 and 
Bloody Butcher. Originated at the New York 
State Experiment Station at Ithaca, 29-3 is as early 
as late strains of Cornell 11 and produces as much 
silage as Sweepstakes. In sections where Sweep- 
stakes does not mature, 29-3 adds 10% to the dry 
matter in the silage. 
29-3 grows almost as tall as Sweepstakes and is 
much more leafy. These leaves remain green clear 
to the bottom of the stalk until cutting time. This 
variety is especially adapted for silage to Northern 
New York, and in other sections of the State and 
Pennsylvania where Sweepstakes does not mature. 
It seems to be better rooted than Sweepstakes and 
does not lodge. Any surplus that is not needed for 
the silo can be husked. 
No. 1 FLAT KERNELS: 1 peck $2.40; % bu. $4.25; 
1 bu. $8.00; 2 bu. $15.75. 
SECOND SIZE FLAT KERNELS: 1 peck $1.75; 
¥% bu. $3.00; 1 bu. $5.50; 2 bu. $10.75. 
ROUND KERNELS: 1 peck $1.90; % bu. $3.50; 
1 bu. $6.50; 2 bu. $12.75. 
SAMPLES OF ABOVE SIZES ON REQUEST 
WISCONSIN HYBRID 464: A leafy yellow variety of 
the same season as Cornell 29-3 but one that we find 
has a stronger stalk and root than 29-3. It is also 
more resistant to smut. Suitable for silage on eleva- 
tions in New York State over 1200 ft. and for both 
silage and husking at elevations from 600 to 1200 ft. 
Stalk 8 to 10 ft., ear large, well filled with deep yellow 
kernels. No. 1 flat kernels: 1 peck $2.60; % bu. 
$4.75; 1 bu. $9.00; 2 bu. $17.75. 
WISCONSIN HYBRID 416: Very similar to Wiscon- 
sin Hybrid 464 but about 5 days earlier. Stalks are 
medium tall; ears long and somewhat slender. Its 
field appearance is very good and it is noted for easy 
husking. No. 1 flat kernels: 1 peck $2.60; % bu. 
$4.75; 1 bu. $9.00; 2 bu. $17.75. 
CERTIFIED CORNELL HYBRID 29-5: New hybrid 
silage corn of the same season as West Branch Sweep- 
stakes but contains 10% more dry matter. 29-5 is 
about ten days later than Cornell 29-3 and should 
be used for silage only. No. 1 flat kernels: 1 peck 
$2.40; % bu. $4.25; 1 bu. $8.00; 2 bu. $15.75.

We don’t see Orson Robson in pictures very often. It is difficult 
for the photographer to catch up with him for he heads up the 
breeding and production work on the Robson Seed Farms. Of the 
125 Hybrid Field Corns tested on the farms in 1945, Orson thinks 
Cornell 35—5 is one of the best early varieties. 
OPEN POLLINATED 
FIELD CORN 
CERTIFIED EARLY CORNELL 11: In many sec- 
tions of the East, Cornell 11 has been too late in 
maturing to be an ideal husking corn. 
We now have an Extra Early Cornell 11 that ripens 
fully two weeks earlier than the old strain. The stalk 
is of good height, 7 to 9 feet, the ears are 8 to 9 inches 
long and have 14 to 18 rows of yellow dented kernels 
arranged on a small cob. 
Under favorable conditions Extra Early Cornell 11 
will fully mature in 90 days. We have had many re- 
ports of yields of over 100 bushels of ears per acre. 
1 peck $1.75; % bu. $3.00; bu. $5.50; 2 bu. $10.75. 
WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES: A later variety 
than Cornell 11. Produces more tons of green weight 
but cannot be depended upon to fully ripen under 
most New York State conditions. Sweepstakes is 
adapted for silage in this State. The ears are 10 to 
12 inches long, bearing 12 to 14 rows of large kernels. 
Most of the kernels are red. 1 peck $2.00; 14 bu. 
$3.30: 1 bU5 95,79; 20U. 011,25, 
IMPROVED LEAMING: A popular silage corn. Too 
late to ripen in most sections of New York State 
except under very favorable conditions. Stalk is tall, 
ears large, kernels yellow. 1 peck $1.60; % bu.
