But it is Worth Dollars to You. 
THREE OUTSTANDING HYBRIDS, K374—K99 — K42 
Of all the hybrids we have ever produced, these three are the best for the Cen- 
tral Corn Belt. In making up your order, do not overlook these exceptionally high- 
yielding hybrids. 
K374 BLACK CROW, FIREPROOF HYBRID 
This was named Black Crow by one of our dealers because of the real dark green 
color. We call it fireproof because it will stand more heat and drouth than any hybrid 
we ever tested. It also has the widest adaptation to different soil types of any hybrid 
we have ever grown. Of course, this hybrid is like all hybrids in that it does best on 
good types of soil and cannot produce a big crop where the soil-does not contain suffi- 
cient plant food to do so. 
This is the 5th year we have grown K374 starting the first year with 38 rows 80 
rods long. Each year we have increased the acreage. Each year we have had to limit 
our customers to a certain number of bushels. This year we are again limiting orders 
on this number to not over 5 bushels to a customer.

the size and type of ears. hill, total weight 60 oz. Just try to find a hill 
with 3 ears of corn on it which will weigh a 
total of 60 oz. 

K374 is a full season corn maturing in about 118, days. Stands up the best of any 
hybrid. Very dark green color. Where two or more hybrids are planted in the same 
field, K374 can easily be picked out to the row by the very dark green color. Ears are 
9 to 12 inches long; rich golden color; deep grain; medium smooth. Exceptionally 
good feeding corn. Not so hard as some of our other hybrids. An easy corn to husk 
by hand; also a good picker corn as ears set close to the stock. No shank a foot long to 
be sheared off by the picker. Usually a single eared corn; few suckers. Note the com- 
parison on the back page. ; 
We are receiving many letters telling of the great crops with K374. If you never 
have grown K374 and live in a section to which it is adapted, all we ask is that you try 
a few bushels. For prices see inside back cover.
