SAVE, MONEY AND GROW 
We furnish you both your male and female corn to 
be planted in a plot 400 feet or more from any other 
corn and for every one row of male corn you plant 
four rows of female corn like this:

You detassel or remove the tassels in these four female rows. Watch these 
four rows and as soon as the tassels start to appear on the corn, pull them out 
It is better to pull them than to cut them off. You keep doing this every day, ore 
at least every other day until pollination time is over, which is from 21 to 25 days. 
The reason you do this is to let the male row furnish pollen for the female rows» 
as this is the only method to produce hybrid seed. ; 
The male row is not used for seed, but for feed only. The corn from the fours ao 
female rows is used for seed and you take care of it} the same as you do any other ) os 
seed corn. Pick out the best and let it dry good before cold weather. If there is 
any part you do not understand, when you send us your order, ask us anything — 
you want to know and we will be ane to answer it, as we want you satisfied and.) 
keep you as a customer. ein
