Improved Hybrids 
For Bumper Yields 
There is a big difference in Hybrids. They 
must prove by tests and yields that they are 
superior, Our Improved Hybrids are past the 
experimental stage, It requires expert knowl- 
edge and intense personal supervision to pro- 
duce the best foundation stocks. Better sin- 
gle crosses, purer inbreds, better detasseling, 
better drying and processing mean better Im- 
proved Hybrid Corn. Our Hybrids are devel- 
oped under these regulations. 
State Certification 
A Hybrid to be certified must show a-combined 
superiority of 25% in yield and lodging resistance 
of stalk over the average open pollinated corn in 
state yield contests for at least 2 to 5 years pre- 
ceding certification. When you buy State Certified 
Hybrid, you are sure of getting the genuine State 
Originated Hybrid Corn. We sell State Certified 
Hybrids because they are safe, sure and depend- 
able. The original seed stock is ‘‘Approved.’’ It 
is produced under state supervision. If there is 
anything wrong with the seed stock, isolation, de- 
tasseling, moisture content or germination, it can’t 
be certified. It must also germinate 90% strong 
or better. 
“Hybrid Corn Treated” 
We treat our corn with a chemical compound. 
It controls seedling blight and root and stalk 
rots. This treatment increases germination and 
permits earlier planting. Buy Hy- 
brid that has been 
treated. 
American’s 
Superior Hybrids 
The heavy yielding qualities of a good Hybrid Corn va- 
riety depends on the inbreds that are used to produce it. You can plant 
the same variety of Hybrid Corn obtained from different growers and 
still get a difference in yield. When you order our Superior, Certified Hybrids, 
you get the factors of quality, explained above. Sometimes 3 out of 4 of the inbreds used in our 
State Certified Hybrids are used in Hybrids sold by private producers under their own number. 
Why pay them $7.50 to $8.50 per bushel for a Hybrid produced from most of the same inbreds 
used in the State Certified Hybrids. r
