Inbreds are the result 
of self - fertilization for 
several generations. 
Bags on tassels and 
silks prevent cross-fer¬ 
tilization. Characters 
are fixed by inbreed¬ 
ing. 
Hybrid Seed Corn 
• 
Hybrid Seed corn is the first generation cross 
or Hybrid involving two or more inbred strains of 
corn. Inbred strains are developed by very scien¬ 
tific and careful selection for five to seven gener¬ 
ations of hand pollinations. 
Kentucky Certified Hybrid No. 69 (white) is 
the result of crossing four inbred strains developed 
by the Kentucky Experiment Station from out¬ 
standing white corns produced in the state. These 
inbreds are selected for desirable characteristics 
and single crosses made by the Kentucky Experi¬ 
ment Station. 
Under supervision of the Kentucky Experiment 
Station, I have made the double cross to produce 
Kentucky Hybrid No. 69 white seed corn. My corn 
is certified under the rigid requirements of the 
Kentucky Seed Improvement Association, as to 
Purity, Trueness to Type, Germination, Etc. This 
is your assurance of the purchasing of true Hybrid 
corn. Use only CERTIFIED SEED FOR YOUR 
PROTECTION.
