WHY YOU SHOULD PLANT HYBRID CORN 
,We are one of the largest growers and producers of Certified Hybrid Seed Corn in 
northern Ohio, growing it on our own farms here in Stark County, under the supervision 
of our Mr. Berger. Best results are obtained from seed specifically suited to the locality 
where it is to be grown. 
(^2jYields 10 to 25 per cent more bushels per acre. 
© Resists cold weather—can be planted earlier—withstands unfavorable conditions before 
it has sprouted or while in its seedling stage. Stands more cold, wet weather throughout 
the season—gets crop out of danger earlier. Can be harvested earlier and field plowed 
or pastured. Will carry more stalks to the hill or closer drilling than open-pollinated. 
/T\Develops stiff, strong stalks 
vi/and two or more sets of 
brace roots—stands up well 
against wind. Develops a 
stronger root system—fre¬ 
quently to a depth of 8 
feet—gathers moisture and 
plant food from subsoil— 
makes better drought- 
resistant crop. 
© Produces healthier plants 
and superior quality ears. 
Practically no barren stalks 
and few nubbins. Ears 
more uniform in size. 
Earlier maturing as mois¬ 
ture content reduces more 
rapidly at proper time. 
Stalks more uniform in 
height — ears more on a 
level — easier to husk.

HYBRID SWEET CORN 
There is no short cut to the production of good quality hybrid sweet corn. Every year the same process is used in cross¬ 
ing the two inbred lines that have been inbred for five years. Only corn from the detasseled rows is used for seed so it is 
necessary to charge more for hybrid corn. The extra amount expended for seed will be repaid many times by the extra 
yield and hardiness. 
MARCROSS P39 
(75 days.) In respect to uniformity 
Marcross is better than average. 
The ear is rather large, length 7 to 8 inches; kernel medium 
yellow with 10 to 14 rows. Plant 6 feet in height, ear rather 
high on stock. Marcross is one of the better tasting corns, 
being a top cross of Purdue 39 crossed on Golden Early
