HOW ARE 
JACQUES PROVEN 
HYBRIDS GRADED? 


After Jacques seed ears are 
dried, sorted and shelled, the 
shelled corn is cleaned and 
separated with a clipper grader, 
and then goes through this 
cylinder grader for width and 
thickness separations. Kernels 
varying as little as 1-64th of 
an inch are separated into 
different size grades. 

The new improved grading system used by the 
Jacques Seed Company has been worked out in 
cooperation with Professor Wright of the University 
of Wisconsin to give you seed uniformly graded in 
all dimensions. Farmers have frequently said that 
you can mix two grades of Jacques seed and still 
have a better graded product than some of the seed 
corn planted each year! Without the right stand, 
no seed can give you the maximum yield of which 
it is capable. The extra good grading of Jacques 
Proven Hybrids means : 
money in your pocket. 
Jacques pioneered the length 
grading of seed corn—and 
here is the Jacques length 
grader. Your Jacques seed 
is graded not only for width 
and thickness of kernel, but 
also for length of kernel, 
when this is required for 
accurate planting.
