HYBRIDS 
of Similar 
Maturity 
Blended 
Together 




speak of a blend 
we mean a com- 
bination of dif- 
ferent varieties 
of Hybrids. 
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 $3.25, 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. Thick Flat at only $3.75 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 peo eee 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 2 line, We will give you shipping 
instructions and promptly refund the money you 
paid—plus freight charges. 
THICK FLAT GRADE 
$3.75 Per Bu. ‘ 
The Thick Flat is a grade in which the kernels 
are too thick to make the regular flat grades, al- 
though they have about the same length or depth. 
This in our opinion is the sturdiest and most vigor- 
ous kind of seed available. Tt is graded to plant 
accurately when proper plates are used. We be- 
lieve you will prefer this to any other grade once 
.you find out what it can do for you.

Improved Yields 
In the average 
year any single 
Hybrid variety 
will pollinate very 
satisfactorily. Itis 
during hot, dry 
spells that the 
blends are most 
outstanding. We 
have had reports 
from customers 
telling us that the 
blends or mixtures 
they made them- 
selves almost dou- 
bled. the yield of 
other single Hy- 
brids and that they 
had by far the 
heaviest yielding 
fields in their 
neighborhood. 
Berry’s Blends, therefore, are based on 
actual practical farm experience. 
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 
added assurance of big, well filled ears and big- 
ger yields.

Grains will often produce stronger, more vigorous © 
plants and therefore better yields. Under cold con- 













ditions after planting, it usually shows better ger- | 
mination. Graded for accurate planting. Tf your 
planter does not have plates for round corn the cost 
of a set is more than paid for by the saving in cost.
