WHY YOU SHOULD PLANT 
HYBRID CORN 
(j'iWe are one of the largest growers and producers of Certi- 
^ned Hybrid Seed Corn in northern Ohio, growing it on 
our own farms here in Stark County, under the supervision 
of our Mr. Wm. Berger. Best results are obtained from 
seed specifically suited to the locality where it is to be 
grown.

esists cold weather—can he planted earlier—withstands 
unfavorable conditions before it has sprouted or while in 
its seedling stage. Stands more cold, wet weather through' 
out 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 
evelops stiff, strong stalks and two or more sets of brace 
roots—stands up well against wind. Develops a stronger 
root system—frequently to a depth of 8 feet—gathers mois¬ 
ture and plant food from subsoil—makes better drought- 
resistant crop. 
OHIO Is adapted to soils in northwestern and 
HYBRID eastern Ohio. Its plants are short, very 
lodge resistant, deep green, leafy, having 
short shanks. The ears are low on the stalk, medium thick and 
having 16 to 18 rows of tapering medium dented but rather 
sharp medium depth grain. Flat kernels, $6.00 per bushel;

(^Produces healthier plants and superior quality ears. Prac- 
^'-'tically no barren stalks and few nubbins. Ears more uni¬ 
form in size. Earlier maturing as moisture content reduces 
more rapidly at proper time. Stalks more uniform in 
height—ears more on a level—easier to husk.
