SEED BARLEY 
ALPHA BARLEY 
Alpha Barley origmated from a cross of the Manchuria, 
a six-row Barley, and the Champion of Vermont, a two-row 
sort. It is a medium-tall, stiff-strawed, two-row variety 
maturing somewhat later than standard six-row types. These 
characteristics make it especially destrable for sowing with 
oats for growing a mixed grain crop. This Barley has been a 
consistently high-yielding variety at the Cornell Experiment 
Station for the past twenty-five years. It is now the leading 
variety in New York State. The kernels are large, plump, and 
heavy, and the yield of the grain excellent. Alpha Barley has 
yielded 70 bushels per acre on our own farms.

On request we will send you a price-list on August 1 
quoting seasonable seeds for August and September sow- 
ing. Indicate on order sheet if you would like this price- 
list or drop us a postcard about August 1. We will have 
available: 
Yorkwin Wheat. A high-yielding white Wheat; very 
winter hardy and of good milling quality. 
Cornell No. 595 Wheat. A new variety of whitc 
Wheat. It has very stiff straw, is very winter hardy and 
gives promise of replacing Yorkwin. 
Nured Wheat. A new high-yielding red Wheat es- 
pecially desirable for feeding. 
Wong Winter Barley. A new variety. See above foi 
full description. 
Cornell 76 Rye. Highest yielding selection from Cornell. 
Rosen Rye. A variety of Russian origin.

Good seed of Cornell No. 595 Winter Wheat, a profitable crop 
on many a farm in our territory. It pays to sow good seed. 
MOORE BARLEY 
Moore is a superior new variety of Spring Barley with good 
yield, strong straw, resistance to several diseases and favorable 
malting qualities. It was developed at the Wisconsin Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station In cooperation with the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. 
Moore is a variety of hybrid origin involving three parents, 
including Wisconsin No. 38, Chevron and Olli. It is a white, 
six-rowed, smooth-awned, spring variety with a moderately 
compact head and long, wide-spreading awns. 
Although the yield of Moore Barley may not be significantly 
above that of Wisconsin No. 38, we feel that its improved 
strength of straw, standability, and moderate resistance to 
stem rust, mildew, and the spot blotch diseases are distinct 
advantages. We therefore recommend this new Moore 
Barley to those who wish a stiff-strawed, six-rowed type. 
WONG WINTER BARLEY 
Available After August 1, 1951, 
for Sowing in September 
Wong Winter Barley is a new cross made in China by Pro- 
fessor Wang (pronounced Wong). It is a six-rowed Barley 
with short heads and grayish white kernels. Its chief merit is 
high yield and exceptionally stiff straw. 
The Plant Breeding Department of Cornell Agricultural 
Experiment Station at Ithaca brought this Barley from China 
in 1934. Tests made at the Ithaca Station and on regional 
plots indicated the superior qualities of this new Winter Barley 
both in yield and stiffness of straw. 
For three years the Plant Breeding Department from our 
State College conducted trials of Winter Barley on one of our 
farms and each year this new variety, Wong, surpassed ail 
others. From their trial plots we obtained 2 bushels of seed in 
the fall of 1940 and planted it on 2 acres of ground. From these 
2 acres, using only 1 bushel of seed per acre, we obtained 120 
bushels of clean seed. Several fields were planted m the fall of 
1941. These fields averaged 55 bushels of seed per acre. Our 
1950 plantings are looking fine and will be available after 
August 1, 1951. 
By all means try some of this Wong Barley, using 5 to 6 
pecks per acre, and sow a little earlier than for winter wheat. 
May we send you a price-list on August 1, 1951?
