PLANT WISCONSIN CERTIFIED HY¬ 
BRID SEED CORN—PRICE LOWEST 
IN HISTORY 
This is the year that farmers should plant 
Hybrid Corn. The price is the lowest in history. 
Hybrid Seed Corn has proven to be a money¬ 
maker for Wisconsin farmers. It will withstand 
drouth and unfavorable weather better than any 
other type of corn and will yield ten to thirty 
per cent more as each stalk produces a large, 
well-developed ear. The root system is heavy 
and the corn will stand up when ordinary kinds 
will not. The stalks and leaves remain green 
until the ear is ripe. Hybrid Corn is also fitted 
to maturity dates enabling the grower to select 
the type that will mature in his locality. 
Not all Hybrid Seed Corn is good seed corn 
and we caution our customers to be sure to buy 
Wisconsin Certified Hybrid Seed Corn. Hybrid 
Corn carelessly grown or produced from infer¬ 
ior crossings is not good and in fact might not 
be equal to open pollinated corn. Wisconsin 
Certified Hybrid Seed Corn, on the other hand, 
is grown from imbreds furnished by the Wis¬ 
consin Experiment Association. The seed from 
these imbreds is properly ijlanted for crossing 
in isolated fields. The crossing fields of the 
Wisconsin Certified Hybrids must be state in¬ 
spected several times during the growing season. 
The grower must follow instructions given, and 
failure to do so will prevent him from getting 
his seed certified. Tlie seed must be properly 
dried, graded, and show a high germination test 
before it can be sealed by the Wisconsin De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. Seed cannot l)e offered 
for sale as Hybrid Corn unless it is state sealed 
and certified. All of our Hybrid Seed Corn is 
state sealed and certified in bushel sacks. In 
smaller quantities, seed will be sent unsealed. 
PLEASE NOTE: We are listing two Hybrids 
in several of the maturities. In our opinion 
there is very little difference in the Hybrids 
and some seasons one Hybrid will do better 
than the other and vice-versa. When sending us 
your order, state the number of Hybrid you 
want supplied and also state a substitution if it 
is satisfactorv to make one.
