The ability of HYBRID CORN to yield 
higher than open pollinated varieties of 
Corn is an established fact. 
Twelve years ago, Dr. Stuart N. Smith, 
Research Director of the Leonard Seed 
Company, undertook, in the company’s 
various field laboratories to develop a su¬ 
perior HYBRID which would enable the 
grower to produce Corn with the utmost 
profit and safety. 
The result of this program of intensive in¬ 
breeding, selection and experimenting is 
IOWEALTH HYBRID. 
IOWEALTH HYBRID is noted for its 
rich green foliage, its sturdy stalk and its 
abundant root system. 
Insures— Wind resistance. Deep roots 
anchor plants. Never known to blow over. 
Protects- —From heat and drought be¬ 
cause deep roots reach moisture. 
Excels —In yield. Superiority in yield 
has been proved all over the UNITED 
STATES. 
A strain of IOWEALTH HYBRID 
which is particularly adapted and suitable 
for the season and growing conditions of 
your territory is available. 
We will be glad to furnish additional in¬ 
formation and prices on request.
