HYBRIDS by Lester Pfister 



Our Corn is grown esi>ecially 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. (1(X) 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 Com 

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

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



Hickory King. ni5 days.) Grows over 8 feet tall, with a splendid 

 root-grow-th. Ears contain 8 rows of large broad kernels; small 

 cob. A great white Com especially recommended on poor soil. 

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



Boone County. CI 10 days.; A pure white Com 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. (\ 1 5 days.) Many years of watching and selecting 

 seed has develop)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; quicl<, vigorous growth due 

 to good breeding; standability and resistance to adverse con- 

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

 grain, again due to Pfister characteristics. 



Pfister 164 (Hy x 187; x WF9 x 38-11). Maturity, 115 to 120 days. 

 Large cylindrical ears with deep, medium-rough kernels. Adaptable 

 to a wide variety of soils. It is definitely a one-eared hybrid. The 

 stiff stalk carries ears at uniform height, making picking easy.

 produce long kernels of deep indentation . . . making it a favorite 

 with stock feeders. Medium early and produces well on soils of 

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

 with corn b orer and chinch bugs. S uitable for mechanical pickers
