BERRY SEED CO., CLARINDA, IOW 
OPEN 
POLLINATED 
VARIETIES 
See pages 2 to 4 
for Hybrid Corn 
The Open Pollinated corn described on 
pages 56 and 57 is stock that we secure from re¬ 
liable parties. It is all well dried, carefully graded 
stock of high germination. They are early, medium and 
later kinds. No definite maturity date can be guaranteed as 
that depends upon soil and seasonal conditions. Our guarantee of 
satisfactory shipment is given above. 
The varieties of Open Pollinated corn listed in our catalog are secured by 
us under the names given herein. They are not represented as having all the 
nationally or regionally recognized characteristics for varieties having the same 
name. It is all corn that we believe will give our customers very satisfactory crops. 
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. Edge Drop is most popular. 
ECONOMY OF 
BETTER SEEDS 
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 25c an acre for 
seed. Such a small expenditure may 
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 
profitable investment. 
NEW PERFECTION 
This is shipped from Clarinda only 
This is a large eared yellow corn. It has big ears. The kernels 
are broad and thick. They are moderately rough. Runs 16 to 18 rows oi ker- 
nels per ear. Some customers like this big eared type corn better than ilyDria. 
It is a vigorous grower. The grain has a beautiful yellow color. It is a heavy 
yielding open pollinated corn. We know of none better. Maturity in this 
section classified as 110 to 115 day. You can save seed from New ierlection 
for replanting. We consider this superior to our old Big Perfection. Our seed 
is Iowa grown. If you want a big open pollinated corn that is not very late 
we believe you will like this extra well. A very heavy producer. 
Price 1 bu., $2.50; V 2 bu., $1.30; J4 bu., 70c. Postpaid 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00. 
This corn should ma¬ 
ture a little earlier than 
New Perfection and run it 
a close second for yield. 
It is a rougher type than 
our Reids Dent. In size 
of ear it should average 
somewhat larger than 
Reids but not quite as big 
as the Perfection. It is 
not a flinty corn. Easily- 
chewed by hogs. We clas¬ 
sify it as about a 110 day- 
variety. 
This corn should please the 
average grower who wants corn 
of medium maturity, that is 
moderately rough in type. It 
is a kind of corn that has long 
been popular with our trade 
and is a very satisfactory va¬ 
riety of open pollinated corn.

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 our 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 up to 9 to 
10 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 you 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.
