Hybrid Corn Seed Produces More At Less Cost 

Hybrid Sweet Corns 
The larger yields, greater uniformity and better quality of hybrid 
sweet corns are the reasons for their now almost 100% use by can- 
ners, commercial growers and home gardeners. They definitely pay 
better in dollars and satisfaction. 
Of the literally hundreds of hybrids now available we offer a 
series ripening at successive periods, each being one of the best avail- 
able in its ripening period. You can choose those that best suit your 
market or can provide a continuous supply from early to late by 
planting at one time several that will ripen in succession and then 
following with successive plantings of a late one. ; : 
In the brief descriptions given below, the days of ripening are 
approximate for this section under favorable conditions. They vary 
with locality, season and planting date. They are comparable with 
Golden Bantam at 80 days. For detailed descriptions ask for our 
Special Sweet Corn Circular. It gives valuable planting suggestions, 
directions for controlling ear worm, corn borer and smut and the 
latest on weed control in sweet corn. 
IMPROVED SPANCROSS - 61 days, 23 earlier than Golden 
Cross. Earliest wilt resistant hybrid available. Cold resistant. Pro- 
lific yielder of very uniform, attractive, med. size, 8-12 rowed ears. 
WASHINGTON - 67 days, new hybrid from Conn. Exp. Station. 
More and larger ears than Spancross, more ears but smaller than 
Marcross, better quality than either. Wilt resistant. Don’t miss 
this one. 
16 days ahead of Golden Cross. Wilt 
resistant, good yielder, large 12 rowed ears, good quality, excellent 
market type. A money maker for commercial growers. 
CARMELCROSS - 72 days. Wilt resistant, fine quality, 12 rowed, 
large ears, heavy yielder. Similar to Golden Cross. 
OLD HICKORY - 73 days, bigger hardier than Carmelcross, larger 
ears, taller stalks. Wilt resistant. 
GRANT - 75 days. New mid-season hybrid, notably large ears, 
fine quality too. Sold Out. 
LINCOLN - 78 days, 6 days ahead of Golden Cross. Wilt resistant, 
drought resistant, wide adaptation. Heavy producer of large, at- 
tractive, good quality, 12 to 16 rowed ears. 
LEE - 78 days, in Lincoln class. Ears slightly larger; quality a 
little better. Not so hardy or wilt resistant. Better for New England 
and Eastern New York. 
BIG LINCOLN - 80 days, a larger eared, heavier yielding, taller 
Lincoln. Sold Out. 
BIG LEE - 80 days, equal quality, taller stalks, larger ears, more 
ears, more profit than Lee.

kernel rows, taller stalks, ears borne higher, fewer suckers, same 
wonderful quality as original Golden Cross. 
BIG GOLDEN CROSS - 87 days, a larger eared Golden Cross 
with good qualities retained. 
IOANA - 87 days. Appearance, quality, size ears like Golden 
Cross. Stalks larger, suckerless. Notably resistant to heat and 
drought. Out-yields Golden Cross under such conditions. Wilt re- 
sistant. 
BIG IOANA - 88 days. 10% more ears, 10% larger ears than 
Ioana and equal quality, hardiness and wilt resistance. 
MAGNAGOLD - 90 days. Wilt resistant. Big handsome 16 to 20 
rowed ears of excellent quality. Sell fast at premium prices. Lots 
of fodder. Best late yellow hybrid from every angle. 
FAMILY GARDEN SWEET CORN ASSORTMENT 
Here is a package of assorted hybrid sweet corn seeds, ripening 
in succession, that provides an average family with an abundance of 
delicious fresh sweet corn from early summer till fall, and plenty to 
can or dry for winter. It includes 2 0z. each Spancross, Washington, 
Carmelcross, Lincoln, Magnagold and 14 oz. Golden Cross with direc- 
tions for planting. Lots of enjoyment and real savings on food costs 
come in this package. Decide now to feast on sweet corn this 
summer as do hundreds of others. 
Brome Grass 
Brome Grass is a very long lived, winter hardy, drought resisting 
perennial. Spreads by underground stolons as well as by seed. Runs 
out blue grass and all other common plants. Ideal pasture because 
production starts early, stays green thru droughts, lasts late in the 
fall, always palatable, in fact, probably most palatable grass. But 
must not be grazed too closely. In Illinois test Brome pasture 
produced 259 lbs. gain per acre on cattle and sheep while blue grass 
pasture produced 164 lbs. As hay, it is taller than timothy, more 
leafy and better relished by stock. Takes year longer than timothy 
to make full crop. Sow 20 lbs. alone or 8 lbs. with 8 lbs. Alfalfa or 
2 of Ladino. Sow separately. 
Achenbach Brome, a Kansas strain and Lincoln Brome, a Ne- 
braska strain outyield the Dakota and Canadian strains by about 20% 
and have proved winter hardy in this latitude. 




Field Corns 
Hybrid field corns have made good in the Northeastern States. 
Nearly all who have tried them are well pleased. Now salesmen 
swarm over the country side with long lists of confusing names and 
numbers of various hybrids. The majority of the hybrids offered are 
too late in maturity for this part of the country. Some are closed 
or secret formula” hybrids offered at high prices by high pressure 
salesmen. Others are “open formula” hybrids developed, tested, 
maintained and certified by the Agricultural Experiment Stations and 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In general the latter are bet- 
ter, more reliable, and more economical. ; : 
On the basis of demonstration tests in New York and neighboring 
states and customers’ experiences during recent years, we have select- 
ed and offer the following hybrids with confidence that they will make 
good in the areas designated. All are hybrids except Yates and 
Sheffield flints, Early Huron, Cornell 11, and West Branch Sweep- 
stakes. Numbers in parentheses are approximate days required for 
maturing under conditions here. They of course vary from season to 
season and place to place, but show relative maturities. 
For grain it is best to use corns that ripen well within the season 
limits. Our selections are intended to be on the safe side. For silage, 
taller corns with high grain yield records that ripen 5 to 15 days 
later, usually make maximum yields of best quality silage. We have 
listed such for each situation described below. 
VERY SHORT SEASON—Where only the very earliest corns 
mature; generally at elevations over 1200’ and at lower elevations in 
Northern New York and New England. 
Grain: Wis: 255 (90); Yates (90); Sheffield (90). 
Silage: Wis. 275A (95); Wis. 335 & 355 (100); E’y Huron (100) 
SHORT SEASON—Where 95 to 105 day corns usually mature; 
generally at elevations of 900’ to 1200’. 
Grain: Wis. 275A (95); Wis. 355 (100); Early Huron (100). 
Silage: Cornell 11 (105); Wis. 416 (110); Cornell 29-3 (115); 
MEDIUM SEASON—Where 105 to 115 day corns usually mature; 
generally at elevations of 500’ to 900’. 
Grain: Cornell 11 (105); Wis. 416 (110); Cornell 29-3 (115). 
Silage: Ohio K24 (120); Sweepstakes (125). 
LONG SEASON—Where 115 to 125 day corns usually mature; 
generally at elevations under 500’. 
Grain: Ohio K24 (120). 
Silage: Wis. 641A (180); Wis. 692 (135). 
VERY LONG SEASON—Most favored locations in areas last 
described. 
Grain: Wis. 641A (180); Wis 692 (135). 
Silage: U.S. 18 (140). 
GRADES 
Germinations range from 90% to 98%. Seed is graded,—Large 
Flat, Medium Flat, Large Round, Medium Round. This permits more 
accurate planting with less waste of seed and better yields. The 
different grades produce equally well, provided the seed is properly 
spaced. (See Prices on Page 3). 
Hay and Pasture Seedings 
The following recommended mixtures include the newer forage 
crops and consider the relative prices of the ingredients. 
HAY MIXTURES 
For good alfalfa soils - 7 
8 Alfalfa, 8 Brome, 1 Ladino. 
6 Alfalfa, 2 Alsike, 6 Timothy. 
For soils not suited for alfalfa - 
3 Med. Red, 2 Alsike, 1 Ladino, 6 Timothy. 
2 Ladino, 7 Timothy. 
HAY and PASTURE MIXTURES 
For good alfalfa soil - 
6 Alfalfa, 3 Med. Red, 1 Ladino, 6 Timothy, 
8 Alfalfa, 1 Ladino, 4 Brome, 3 Timothy. 
For soils not suited to alfalfa - 
4 Med. Red, 1 Ladino, 8 Timothy, 2 Red Top. 
8 Orchard, 1 Ladino or 8 Brome, 1 Ladino (sow separately). 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURES ... 
10 Ky. Blue, 7 Timothy, 1 Wild White Clover, 2 Bird’s Foot 
Trefoil (to be inoculated separately and added just before sowing) 
12 Ky. Blue, 2 Ladino (for poultry especially). 
PASTURE YIELDS 
In a New Jersey test, production of different pasture seedings 
were carefully measured thru the season. Following are the pounds 
of “dry matter” produced per acre:— 
Ky. Blue Grass and White Clover - - 2594 lbs. 
Tall Oat Grass and Ladino Clover - - 4584 lbs. 
Brome Grass and Ladino Clover - - 6555 Ibs. 
Orchard Grass and Ladino Clover 7268 lbs. 
The Orchard-Ladino and Brome-Ladino mixtures produced 2% 
to nearly 3 times as much pasturage per acre as the common Blue 
Grass-White Clover mixture. To any live stock man that means 
lower production cost and greater profit.
