HYBRID CORN 
While we have been producing high-yielding seed corn for 35 years, we are not the orig- 
inators of hybrid corn. Neither are any of the other large producers. 
Hybrid corn was started more than 40 years ago by a man by the name of Beal. This 
work was followed by East, Hayes, Jones and many others, up until 1921 when the first real 
hybrid corn was produced in the State of Connecticut. 
We have been producing high-yielding seed corn for 35 years and during this time have 
spent many thousands of dollars, and are still spending many thousands of dollars in the 
production of seed stock. Few farmers realize the expense in producing inbreds and single 
crosses and think $7 per bushel for hybrid corn is about all profit above the market price 
of the corn. ' 
SOME HYBRIDS AT LOWER PRICES THAN LAST YEAR 
Our prices are below those of all other large producers, some being lower than last 
year. Compare prices on inside back cover. 
NUMBER OF HYBRIDS REDUCED 
This year you will note we have reduced the number of hybrids we are growing, discon- 
tinuing some of the older hybrids for newer and better hybrids. We have small stocks of 
these hybrids carried over from last year and will sell at the following low prices, 
subject to stock on hand. With our improved seed corn plant, corn carried over one year 
is about as good as the first year.

QUANTITY AND CASH DISCOUNTS 
Why not confine your hybrid corn purchases to two, or at most three good companies, 
instead of buying a bushel or two from every one who comes along, and why wait until some 
one comes to you. Give your Kelly dealer your order, and if you have no Kelly dealer near 
you, give us the name of some farmer who you think would make a good dealer. 
As an inducement for larger orders we give you quantity 
discounts as follows: 
3% discount on orders of 9 to 19 bushel 
BUH kilos 7??? 20 bushel or more 
Special prices on 100 bushel or more 
Cash Discount 
On all orders given to our dealers or sent to us and paid 
for by January 1, we will allow an additional cash discount 
of 2%. 
LOCATION 
We have been located in Peoria for 19 years, the second 
largest city in the State, where we carry stocks of all kinds 
of seeds. All garden seed orders should be sent to Peoria. 
All corn orders should be sent to San Jose where all corn is 
produced and processed. San Jose is a small town 25 miles 
south of Peoria on route 119 (the longest straight hard road 
in the world), also located just two miles east of route 29, 
which runs from Springfield to Peoria, Route 29 leads into 
San Jose on route 119. Here we grow and have grown on 
contract more than 2,500 acres of seed grains.
