ERIE BARLEY 
The Highest-Yielding Two-Row Variety 
ERIE BARLEY 
This cross between Goldfoil and Alpha is a new 
two-rowed, bearded Spring Barley with smooth 
awns. The grain is plump, high in test weight and 
white to light yellow in color. Erie Barley has erect 
heads, good straw strength and is resistant to pow- 
dery mildew. Italso has greater resistance tosmut than 
Alpha Barley and yields better. These characteristics 
give it distinct advantages over Alpha Barley. It 
will replace Alpha when seed becomes plentiful. 
Erie was first released by the Plant Breeding De- 
partment of Cornell m 1951; therefore seed supply 
is limited for 1953 planting. Try a few bushels and 
get a start with this new two-rowed Barley. 
For September Sowiug. WINTER 
A. A. Johnson of Cornell University, standing in an excellent seed field 
of Genesee Wheat. This variety averages 8 percent higher in yield than 
either Yorkwin or Cornell 595. It is a white Winter Wheat of the highest 
milling quality, with bronze chaff. The straw is stiff, and the grain is easily 
combined and does not shatter. Genesee Wheat is the best variety for the 
Wheat sections of the Northeast. Demand last fall was very heavy, and the 
supply was limited. Orders will be taken at any time, subject to our fall price. 
May we send you a price-list on August 1, 19537?

SEED BARLEY 
ALPHA BARLEY 
Alpha Barley originated from a cross of the Man- 
churia, 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 
desirable 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-six years. It has been 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. 
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 Agricultural 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.
