Hoftman’s 
SEED CORN 
“Your Hoffman Funk G 
Hybrid seed planted in 1938 
has been satisfactory in every 
detail. The yield on a size 
acre plot was officially 
checked at 120.4 bushels of 
shelled corn (80-lb. bushel) 
to the acre. This is the best 
yield we have ever had. 
None of our Hybrid Corn 
was blown down during the 
season. This is a great asset 
to us as we harvest with a 
binder. The com husked 
clean and easily. We also 
find that Funk G Hybrid is 
in better condition in the 
crib at this date (Dec. 14). 
All of which makes us en¬ 
thusiastic boosters for a well- 
adapted Hybrid.”— Emerson 
Tower, York County, Pa.

“Your Hybrid Corn seed 
gave me the best crop I 
ever grew in my 35 years of 
farming. Yielded 100 bush¬ 
els to the acre. My usual 
crop was 70 to 75 bushels 
per acre.”— John F. Garvin, 
Rising Sun, Maryland. 
“The yield from your 218 
Hybrid planted in one-third 
of the field was about 522 
bushels, as compared with 
about that same quantity 
from the other two-thirds of 
the field. The Hybrid aver¬ 
aged 87 bushels to the acre. 
We would have been much 
better off if we had planted 
Hybrid exclusively.”— Ralph 
Reber, Downingtown, Pa. 
Picture above shows Mr. Tower, who wrote 
the letter printed to the left of the picture. 
. . . His report is a splendid example of 
what comes from planting the right Hoffman 
Funk "G" Hybrid. 
MUST NEW HYBRID SEED BE PLANTED 
EVERY YEAR? 
Yes—it must! Why? Because hybrid seed 
has to be produced by only one method— 
namely, known parentage by controlled 
pollination. The true breeder of hybrid seed 
knows exactly who the ‘'mother” and 
“father” of the next generation shall be. 
There must be complete isolation from any 
chance of the tiniest bit of stray pollen. 
The corn you grow from Hybrid seed 
won’t do a bit better than regular corn— 
likely worse. You must use the original 
Double-Cross every time! Only it has the 
highest producing ability! 
APPEARANCE OF HYBRID SEED MAY 
NOT PLEASE YOU 
It’s almost unbelievable to think that such 
beautiful, uniform ears, can result from seed 
that at first sight may appear disappointing. 
This has amazed so many eastern farmers. 
They don’t stop talking about it! But the 
quality is “in the blood,” and it does not 
show to perfection, until the generation you 
produce! You really will be surprised!
