HYBRIDS by Lester Pfister 



Our Cxtrn is grown esf>ecially for us in the best producing sections. 

 Only good ears from healthy plants are taken and they are hand 

 shelled and graded. Write for Prices.

 small red co.bs covered with 18 to 20 rows of deep grains. Grows 

 bef.er than 8 feel tall. A consistent prize-winner at shows.

 with ears 9 Inches long, having 16 to IS rows of deep kernels, 

 and small red cob. Successful on any kind of soil.

 seed has deve[o[>ed this best of all silo Com until the rapid-growing 

 plants now reach a height of 15 feet with a large amount of fodder 

 and 3 or 4 long ears to the stalk. 



Every farmer notes the reason for big Pfister yields at planting time: 

 Even planter drop due to careful grading; high germination 

 count because of careful processing; quick, vigorous growth due 

 to good breeding; standability and resistance to adverse con- 

 ditions, due to breeding and testing; heavy ears filled with quality 

 grain, again due to Pfister characteristics.
