CORN 
Change to Improved Varieties While Prices Are Low. 
Plant Bruns Selected Strains for Bigger and Better Crops 
• , 
For 28 years we have made a specialty of growing and handling improved strains of Seed Corn. A great 
deal of effort has been given, during our farm and seed experience, to the development of better and higher 
yielding varieties. We have helped hundreds of farmers increase their yields by many bushels. BRUNS 
corn has many loyal friends throughout a large part of the corn belt. 
Corn Is Cheapest Crop to Plant 
No other crop can be planted so cheaply as corn. Yet it is one of our most valuable 
crops. Seed corn prices are low. This is the year to change to improved, pure bred va¬ 
rieties, and get those extra bushels. It is a good idea to change your corn occasionally. 
The best seed to be had will cost only a few cents more per acre. 
It Costs Nothing for 
the Extra Bushels

Outyields Open-Pollinated 
Varieties by 10 to 20 
Bushels per Acre 
Our Hybrid Corn was grown in east 
central Iowa and is perfectly adapted 
to any part of the lower two-thirds of 
the state, or similar latitudes in other 
states. Our stock is produced by the 
double-line cross method, a tedious 
process requiring much hand labor, 
Every ear comes from detasseled stalks. 
From Finest Parent Stock 
Our Hybrid seed is the same type and 
from same grower as that we have han¬ 
dled in past seasons. This corn has 
been giving excellent results. Many 
voluntary reports have been received 
from customers who have used 
our Hybrid and who obtained 
gratifying results. 
Besides making bigger yields. 
Hybrid has several other ad¬ 
vantages. Has sturdy stalks and 
strong root systems that largely 
prepent blowing down. Ears are 
carried at uniform height. Is 
resistant to disease and drouth. 
Matures evenly. 
Shelled and Graded 
Hybrid seed is not fancy iii 
appearance, although the crop 
produced from it is good looking 
corn. Our seed is machine 
graded, that is, small tips anil 
large butts have been removed. 
However, does not run as uni¬ 
form as the open-pollinated va¬ 
rieties. ,.
