HYBRIDS by Lester Pfister 



Our Corn is grown especially for us in the best producing sections. 

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

 shelled and graded. Write for Prices. 



Reid's Yellow Dent. 100 days The 10-inch yellow ears have 

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

 better than 8 feet tall. A consistent prize-winner at shows. 



Improved Learning. 112 days.) A rough Dent yellow Corn 

 with ears 9 Inches long, having 16 to 18 rows of deep kernels, 

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

root-gj Ears contain 8 rows of large broad kernels; small

 Popular for "roasting ears" and early feed in the South. 



Boone County. (110 days., A pure white Corn on a white cob. 

 There are generally 20 or more rows of deep kernels on the heavy 

 10 to 11-inch ears. Boone County is a heavy yielder of extra- 

 quality Corn. 



Eureka Ensilage. 115 days.) Many years of watching and selecting 

 seed has developed this best of all silo Corn until the rapid-growing 

 plants not* 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.

 medium to low fertility. Will be in great demand in areas infested 

 with corn b orer and chinch bugs. Suit able for mechanical pickers.
