ERIE BARLEY 
The Highest-Yielding Two-Row Variety 
ERIE BARLEY 
Erie is a new variety of Spring Barley released by 
Cornell Agricultural Expermment Station in 1951. 
It is a selection from a cross between Alpha and 
Goldfoil and combines the many desirable features 
of these two varieties. 
Erie is a two-rowed, smooth-awned, medium stiff- 
strawed variety of midseason maturity. Heads are 
erect; grain is plump, high in test weight and white 
to light yellow in color. It has resistance to powdery 
mildew, a disease which often reduced the yield of 
Alpha. 
For September Sowing. WINTER WHEAT, BARLEY and RYE

Hudson Winter Barley growing on our own farms. We will have a good supply 
of this new high-yielding Barley for delivery in the fall of 1954.

DIBBLE’S 
SEED BARLEY 
We recommend Erie Barley as the best Spring 
Barley for our Northeastern farms. We are replacing 
Alpha with this new variety on our own farms. 
We harvested some exceptionally good fields of 
certified seed this past year and suggest that you 
get started with this new two-rowed Erie Barley. 
Sow 2 bushels per acre. 
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 mvolving 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. 
On request we will send you a Price-List on August 1 quot- 
ing seasonal seeds for August and September sowing. Indicate
