ADAPTATION: Full season maturity for 
the south half of Region 3. Medium to 
full season for Region 4 with a fine 
yield record for Region 5. Here is a Funk G hybrid with an 
outstanding record in central and southern lowa on medium 
and low fertility soils. Like other G hybrids, G-212 pays 
extra dividends when planted on high fertility soil. 
One of the Oldest But Still a Leader: Few hybrids have 
enjoyed as many years of usefulness as G-212. Its ability to 
yield abundantly under a wide range of soil, moisture and 
weather conditions keeps this hybrid continually popular 
from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains. While G-212 
shows up well on average land, it is always a favorite with 
hill farmers. Colorado corn growers report that G-212 is 
outstanding when grown under irrigation. Thousands of corn 
producers have grown G-212 every year since 1937. 
And It Can Take a Lot of Punishment, Too: G-212 carries 
its ears at medium height, has extra short shanks which 
make it ideal for mechanical pickers. Its rather heavy leaves 
are dark green, making it an attractive, heavy yielding silage 
corn in Colorado and the Northern Corn Belt. These features 
are your assurance of a profitable corn crop when you plant 
G-212. Glen Denny, Delta, Iowa, writes: ‘“‘I am well pleased 
with my G-212. It stayed green and made a good crop in 
spite of drouth during July and August.”

Clark Van Auken, Forest, Indiana, left, and his tenant, Doyle 
Moore, are well pleased with the 80-bushel yields they get 
with G-212. These veteran corn growers plant round kernels 
because round kernels plant as accurately as flats and cost less. 
H. S. Mehaffey, Nebraska 
Master Farmer, likes G-212’s 
fast early growth. He has 7 
used round kernels for 3 years.
