berry seed CO.. CLARINDA. IOWA 
All of our seed corn 
is high germinating seed. 
It is well dried, solid and 
bright. We have the ordinary corn 
which is now called open pollinated or 
O.P. corn and the State Certified Hybrid seed 
corn. You can sequre from us early, medium and 
later maturing varieties. No definite maturity date can 
be given as that varies according to soil and seasonal condi¬ 
tions, Therefore no maturity date is guaranteed. It is very much 
to our interest to supply our customers with seed that will give highly satisfactory 
yields. Our seed is selected with that point in mind. The Hybrids are described 
on pages 59 and 51. The Open Pollinated on 56 and 57. 
ECONOMY OF 
BETTER SEEDS 
GRADES 
Our O.P. Corn comes only 
in one grade which is the 
Edge Drop or flat grained 
type. The Hybrids come in the 
Edge Drop and the small Hill Drop 
which contains the small rounder 
kernels. The Large Hill drop con¬ 
tains the larger rounder kernels. 
All grades have equal yielding abil¬ 
ity, ^dge Drop is most popular. 
Nearly every experienced farmer] 
knows that the seed he plants has 
an influence on the yield he obtains. 
Our open pollinated corn costs you | 
only a little over 2Sc an acre for 
seed. Such a small expenditure may I 
readily bring you 5 to 10 bushels 
more corn per acre. Our Hybrids 
cost only about 75c an acre and 
has increased yields 10 to 25 bush¬ 
els per acre. Better seed corn is a] 
)rontable investment. 
NEW perfection 
Many who read this have used the old Clarinda Big Perfection. 
Here is something newer and better. A large yellow corn. Big 
ears. Broad, thick kernels. Moderately rough, 16 to 18 rows per ear. With 
such kernels, that makes a big ear, and there are lots of them. Has outyielded 
Hybrid in one test. Beautiful golden color. Vigorous grower. -Maturity 
around 110 to 115 days. It’s the heaviest yielding open pollinated corn we 
know of. You have to grow it to appreciate its great merit. You can save seed 
from this crop for replanting. We urge you to get started with this great 
New Perfection. 
Price 1 bu., $2.00; K bu., $1.10; bu., 60c. Postpaid 1 lb, 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00. 
Berry’s Pride of Iowa is one 
of our heaviest producing yel¬ 
low d.p. corn. Comes about 
between the New Perfection 
and Reids Dent. Ears are 
somewhat larger than the lat¬ 
ter with a tendency toward 
deeper and wider grains. 
Kernels a little rougher. Not 
Flinty. Cob is not excessively 
large and it has a good shelling 
percentage. Average maturity 
around 110 days. 
We have been selling this 
variety for a long time and 
letters from customers attest' 
to its productiveness and qual¬ 
ity. We consider this one of 
our best o.p. varieties and a 
real money maker. If you are 
looking for a little rougher 
type than the Reids you should 
find this a very satisfactory 
selection.

BERRY’S REIDS DENT 
There are a number of strains of Reids Dent. They are not all equal in production or 
quality. We would like to have you plant some of Berry’s Reids Dent next to any of 
your own or anyone else’s variety that goes by the same name. Keep careful record of 
yield and see what you gained by investing around 25c an acre for our seed. That’s all it 
costs you this year. 
We select this corn toward a smoother type than the Pride of Iowa. The average ma- 
turity IS around 105 to 110 days. This corn bears solid compact ears ranging uj) to 9 to 
12 inches long. The grains are quite deep and close set. They have a fine golden color 
indicating excellent feeding value. 
The choice between this and Pride of Iowa depends largely on whether j'ou like your 
corn toward the smooth or the rough type. Both kinds are extensively used by our trade 
and both give big production and fine quality corn.
