NORTHRUP, KING & CO’S KINGSCROST HYBRID SEED CORN 
Why Plant Kingscrost Hybrid Corn? 
There are good hybrids and poor hybrids now and probably always 
will be. Probably there will be seed corn sold as hybrids which are not 
hybrids at all. Good, hybrid producing strains will be planted by inexper¬ 
ienced or careless growers and because of poor detasseling the seed will 
not produce higher yields than open pollenated varieties. 
Every farmer is going to have to select what he considers to be the 
most dependable source of hybrid seed because growing one’s own supply 
of hybrid seed in a small way will hardly be economical. In choosing this 
source, he will consider reputation of the producing organization over a 
long period of years. He will consider its personnel, their training and 
experience, and equipment for drying, testing and handling. 
Northrup, King & Co.’s reputation over 50 years is well known. 
Being one of the first to commence developing and producing hybrids 
and with a large market established for its products, an experienced and 
well trained personnel has been built up. 
Equipment costing over a quarter of a million dollars, and drying 
methods which are the outgrowth of 50 years of experience are behind
