°° Hybrids are bred RIGHT?! 
They do away with the faults 
that kept you from getting top 
yields from other corns in 
past years 
Look at the pictures on these two pages. Every one of those pictures represents something 
you’ve always wanted in your corn, doesn’t it! You can have it now because these are all 
characteristics of ‘‘G’’ Hybrids. Ability to produce fine yields, ability to stand up—that’s 
what all those characteristics lead to—that’s why so many, many farmers have taken the 
trouble to write us enthusiastic letters. 
Plant this Funk ‘“‘“G’’ Hybrid Seed. Many years’ use in the West, five years here in the 
East, have proved its ability to defeat these crop enemies: 
DROUGHT: The extra fine root systems of these Funk “G’ Hybrids get every 
bit of available moisture. Every “G’ Hybrid is proven for drought ‘resistance. 
WINDSTORMS: Before Funk “G” Hybrids go into production, special machines 
register their strength of root and stalk. Must withstand gale velocity. 
COLD SPRINGS: Cold resistance is bred into these ““G’’ Hybrids, enabling them 
to withstand cold, wet springs. “‘G’’ Hybrid vigor gives high germination. 
HEAT: Hoffman’s Funk “G” Hybrids resist broiling suns and hot winds. Heavy 
pollen-laden tassels shed enough pollen to supply full fertilization. Leaves resist 
“firing’’—continue to feed the plants after hot spells. 
EARLY FROSTS: “G’ Hybrids mature on time, in locations where recom- 
mended. Growing seasons do not seriously delay predetermined maturity dates. 
Cold-resistant varieties keep right on even after light frosts kill less hardy plants. 
STORMY HARVEST: Don’t worry about late harvesting. These ‘‘G’’ Hybrids 
stand upright! Strong short shanks hold up the ears. There, at uniform height 
your ears remain until harvested. And because of their long husks and inherited 
resistance to ear-rot, you get sound quality grain!
