They STAND UP STRAIGHT even 
when storms have leveled neighboring 
fields to a tangled mess. That’s where 
breeding counts—that’s where a harvest 
becomes something you can count on 
instead of a hope against rain and wind. 
Plenty of FINE, BIG EARS—EASY TO 
HUSK—with mighty few barren stalks 
and practically no nubbins. That’s what 
counts in filling your crib—and that’s 
what these “‘G’’ Hybrids give you.

(Right) The man responsible

“G” Hybrids—Dr. “Jim” Hol- 
bert himself. . . . A foremost 
authority on Hybrid Corn. His 
whole effort is to strengthen 
the points that have made these 
“G” Hybrids better . . . and by 
his developing new Inbreds 
and new Single-Crosses, to 
provide still further improved 
“G” Hybrids for your profit 
in future years... . He always

LOTS OF BIG LEAVES for your silo 
are produced by the ‘palm leaf” 
growth which is characteristic of “G”’ 
Hybrids. And we’ve paid particular at- 
tention to “‘G’’ Hybrids for silage. Can 
recommend a good silage Hybrid for 
every territory. 
The real aim of “G” 
Hybrid Breeding is not 
only to produce a corn 
that will give you a su- 
perb crop under ideal 
conditions. The pur- 
pose of these Hybrids 
is to assure you of a 
crop, no matter what 
the conditions are. 
Note how these out- 
standing characteristics 
of “G” Hybrids work 
to that purpose.
