Minhybrid 301—('Mideuiey 
A popular yellow hybrid developed by cross- 
ing an early Minnesota No. 13 single cross with 
Reid’s Yellow Dent. It matures about the same 
time as Golden Jewel, Silver King and Minne- 
sota Ideal and is adapted to southern Minne- 
sota and Wisconsin, northern Iowa, southern 
South Dakota, and similar localities. 
It has a very stiff stalk and strong root sys- 
tem. It grows tall, producing large, well filled 
ears, The stalks remain green after the corn is 
ripe. It yields 15% more than open pollinated 
kinds. 

. . 95 to 100 
Minhybrid 401—(sturiy 
Developed from a cross between early Minne- 
sota No. 13 Yellow and Rustler White Dent. 
Medium in height, leafy, producing good sized 
ears of mixed yellow and white color. Yields 
have averaged 20% more than open pollinated 
kinds of the same maturity. It matures 7 to 14 
days in advance of other main crop varieties. 
Because one of its parents is a single cross 
out of Rustler White Dent, this hybrid gives 
wonderful results on lighter soils, as well as on 
heavy soils, and is’a good performer on peat 
soils where an early corn is wanted. 
Recommended for the central parts of Minne- 
sota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Michigan, 
and southeastern North Dakota. (On Recom- 
mended List of North Dakota and Michigan 
Experiment Stations). 
Minhybrid 402—(33.82,20 
An extra early hybrid of mixed yellow and 
white color, developed from the same parents 
as Minhybrid 401, the plants being slightly 
smaller and about 5 to 10 days earlier in ma- 
turity. The yield is only slightly smaller than 
401 and runs exceptionally high for such early 
corn. 
Since 402 also contains the Rustler White 
Dent single cross, it too is an ideal hybrid for 
light soil, although it also performs well on 
heavier soils and on peat, where you want 
real early corn. Feeding experiments prove that 
these mixed yellow and white hybrids equal 
the pure yellow sorts in feeding value when 
used in a balanced ration. Minhybrid 402 is 
adapted to northern parts of Minnesota, Wis- 
consin, Michigan, and South Dakota, and east- 
ern North Dakota. It’s also popular in more 
southern sections for ‘‘early hogging off.’’ (On 
Recommended List of Michigan and North Da- 
kota Experiment Stations). a

Minhybrid 403—(‘Riaterity 
The result of combining two early maturing 
inbred lines from Minnesota 13 with two late 
inbred lines from Reid’s Yellow Dent. 
It matures about the same time as Golden 
Jewel, Early Murdock, Silver King, and Min- 
hybrid 301, and: is adapted to southern Minne- 
sota and Wisconsin, northern Iowa and south- 
ern South Dakota and similar territories. This 
pure yellow hybrid has very fine standing abil- 
ity and will outyield open pollinated kinds by 
10% to 20%. It produces a long, smooth dent, 
16. to 20-rowed ear of very high quality grain. 
The stalks tend to remain green long after the 
ear is ripe, and the plant shows marked resist- 
ance to smut. See color photo on back cover.

Although the other hybrids made a fine show- 
ing, I find after picking that your old stana- 
bys, 301 and 403, yield so much more corn, 
and are so much safer, that I will depend on 
them entirely, so kindly book my order as en- 
closed. 
I think you will have more of my neighbors 
buying seed corn from you. 
My boys custom 
picked with two machines and covered hundreds 
of acres of corn, and it is only fair to state 
that of the many warieties we ran across, your 
strains of Minhybrids were again very outstand- 
ing.

Master Hybrid No. 2 (110 Maturity) 
A yellow hybrid of Golden Jewel and Reid’s 
Yellow Dent parentage. High yielding and re- 
sistant to disease, it has a 16 to 20 rowed ear 
with deep kernels, Very strong root system. 
Matures with Murdock; stalks remain green 
after the ears are ripe. Adapted to southern 
Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and 
northern Iowa. 
Master Hybrid No. 4 (#5 Maturity) 
Our early maturing yellow dent hybrid. It 
ripens about the same time as Minhybrid 402, 
but is a pure yellow hybrid developed in our 
Plant Breeding Dept. from inbred lines of 
Golden Jewel and Haney’s strain of Minnesota 
13. A well developed root system: enables it to 
withstand lodging. A short Shank makes it well 
adapted to mechanical picking. Produces a 
medium sized ear with 18 to 20 rows of high 
quality yellow kernels. It has consistently 
proved an outstanding yielder, and an excep- 
tionally early hybrid. Recommended for cen- 
tral and northern Minnesota, North Dakota, 
northern Wisconsin, and Michigan, or more 
southern sections where very early ripe corn 
is desired. 
MASTER HYBRID SILO CORN 
Feeding tests at Wisconsin’s Experi: 
ment Station proved that Hybrid Corn 
is far better for silage than open pollin- 
ated kinds. There has been criticism on 
the hardness of Hybrid Corn for silage. 
However, this impression was due to the 
more even ripening of the hybrids. 
Master Hybrid Silo Corn is a vigorous 
grower, and the stalks remain green long 
after the ears are ripe, thus making bet- 
ter quality silage. Modern feeders 
dairymen prefer it for silage and grain 
because it always feeds out better. It’s 
easy to cut and handle because it stands 
straight and does away with the tire- 
some job of cutting silo corn that’s down 
flat and all tangled up. It yields heav- 
ily, grows tall and produces an abun- 
dance of leafy stalks as well as large, 
heavily filled ears. Be sure to try 
MASTER Hybrid Silo Corn!

SEED CORN

Wisconsin 279—(macnity 
A good all-yellow hybrid of exceptionally 
early maturity. Adapted to central and west- 
ern North Dakota, northern Minnesota and 
northern Wisconsin. _Also a splendid variety 
for early hogging off in more southern sec 
tions. It matures about the same time as 
Wis. 25 and Haney’s Minn. 13. Has all the 
Hybrid advantages such as increased yield, 
greater standing ability, and stalks that stay 
green after corn is ripe. 
. . 90 to 95 
Wisconsin 355—(Maturity 
Gives very fine results in northern Minne- 
sota and Wisconsin and North Dakota. It also 
may be grown in central Minnesota. and_ Wis- 
consin where an early maturing variety is de- 
sired, Very high yielding and superior to or- 
dinary corn. It produces a sturdy medium- 
sized plant carrying ears well filled with pure 
yellow kernels. 
Wisconsin 404—(matwity 
Adapted to central and north central Wis- 
consin and Minnesota, northern South Dakota 
and the southern part of North Dakota. This 
early yellow variety has produced as high as 
80 bushels per acre. Ideal for main crop in 
northern and central sections, and for early 
hogging off in southern sections. 
. . 100 
Wisconsin 460—(maturity 
A yellow hybrid adapted to central Wiscon- 
sin, central Minnesota and South Dakota and 
outyields Central Minnesota No. 13, Early 
Golden Glow, Rustler White Dent and other 
similar varieties. In those sections where 
Minhybrid No. 301 seems late, the Wisconsin 
100-Day Hybrid should be very satisfactory. 
Wisconsin 525—(motrity 
May be grown in 

south central Wisconsin, 
southern Minnesota and in the southern part 
of South Dakota. This pure yellow_ hybrid 
ripens a little earlier than Minhybrid No. 301. 
It yields well, resists lodging, and matures 
evenly. 
. . 110 
Wisconsin 606—( maturity 
A fine yellow hybrid for southern parts of 
Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and 
northern parts of Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska, 
It is just a few days later than Minhybrid 
No. 301. It has remarkable standing ability, 
is very uniform and extra high yielding.
