Hybrid Field Corn 
The ability of HYBRID CORN to yield higher than open pob 
linated 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 superior HYBRID which would enable, 
the grower to produce Corn with the utmost profit and safety. 
The result of this program of intensive inbreeding, 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 
information and prices on request.

MEDICINAL, AROMATIC AND POT HERBS 
In borders and irregular parts of the garden it will prove profitable and pleasurable to grow a few herbs. Their 
use gives new and unusual flavors, pleasing aromas and perfumes and some medicines that are as serviceable as 
can be purchased. Exact cultural directions suited to them all is impossible. Give them generally the care given 
vegetables or flowers. Where the foliage is to be used, cut the young stems on a dry day, wilt in the sun, dry in 
the shade and either hang up in bunches or store in air-tight glass jars.
