LEADING 
HYBRIDS

Maturity 
Blended 
Together 





Whenwe 
speak of a blend 
we mean a com- 
bination of dif- 
ferent varieties 
of AED ber id's: 
There is a very 
definite reason for making these 
blends. Most Hybrids: have a short 
pollinating period. If hot, dry weather 
happens to strike at that time consid- 
erable pollen will be killed and this 
will result in poorly filled ears and 
thus lower yields. By using two or 
three varieties mixed, which mature ' 
at about the same time and yet have 
slightly different pollinating dates, this 
danger is reduced. It gives’ greater 
assurance of well filled ears and big- 
ger yields. 

Big Savings 
Berry’s Hi-Yield Blends are made’ 
up of the varieties listed in this cata- 
log. We realize that farmers generally 
are not accustomed to blends but we 
have so much confidence in the merits 
of these blends that we are making 
these up special and selling them ata 
very low price to get you started us- 
ing them. Think of it only $2.25 per 
bu. for the Round Grain which frequently pro- 
duces the best yields. That is less than the 
price of open pollinated corn and far superior 
to it. in performance. The Flat Grain at only 
$4.50 per bu. which is way below the general 
price range for Hybrid Seed Corn. All of the 
varieties rank high in yield and quality. We 
take a back seat for no one on production. 
Guaranteed Quality 
We guarantee that you will be completely satis- 
fied with the shipment you will receive. The corn 
has been tested and will germinate 90% or better. 
The seed is treated to give you added assurance of 
good stands even under unfavorable conditions 
after planting. The seed both Round and Flat is 
graded for accurate planting. After you receive 
your shipment you can take up to 30 days to test 
it for germination and do anything you- wish to 
satisfy yourself that you have a great value. If, 
for any reason whatsoever, you are not thoroughly 
pleased, drop us a line, We will give you shipping 
instructions and promptly refund the money you 
paid—plus freight charges. 
FLAT GRAIN . 
$4.50 Per Bu. 
This is also known as Edge Drop as it is to be 
planted with Edge Drop plates in the planter. This 
corn is put into three grades, Medium, Medium 
Largé and Large. Each grade will plant accurately 
with the proper size plates such as generally come 
with corn planters. When no size is specified on 
the order we generally ship the Medium or Medium 
Large size which are the most podpular.

In making these blends we select 
varieties that are relatively. close to- 
gether in maturity as too wide a vari- 
ation would result in mature and im- 
mature ears mixed in the field. Thus — 
you can secure proper blends and secure this —

Early, Medium and Later 
Early which will average around 100 days. Me- 
dium around 110 days and Later around 120 days. 
Please specify which of these blends you want. The 
Early Blend for sections 
requiring maturity sim- 
ilar to northern Iowa. 
Medium Blend for sec- 
tions like central Iowa 
and Later for Southern 
Iowa and all points 
south. Some in the Later 
sections want Early 
Blends for early feeding 
and northern farmers 
may want Medium or 
Later Blend for ensilage. 
Available in both Round 
Grain and Flat Grain.
