GARDEN FOR VICTORY 
SEED CORN FOR 
THE NORTHWEST 
47 
eed Corn of adapted varieties is extremely 
searce this year and exceedingly difficult and 
expensive to sort and prepare. 
We have a lim- 
ited amount of the varieties listed. We are try- 
ing to keep tests above 80%. We advise cus- 
tomers to order early and state if they will ac- 
cept substitutes. If sold out of any sort ordered 
we shall substitute the nearest that we still have 
unless otherwise instructed. 
HYBRIDS AND VARIETY CROSSES 






We are this year, in spite of the disastrous 
freeze, able to offer some new hybrids of our own 
breeding, the results of nearly ten years of work. 
We have tested these all for several years and 
find that they yield well above the ordinary 
strains of corn and possess greater vigor and 
strength. Yield depends on several factors. 
They are: number of ears to the stalk, number 
of stalks to the hill, size of the ears, and ma- 
turity of the ears at the average frost date. 
We believe that our hybrids will make a high 
score under each of these headings. 
We are the only commercial Seed House in the 
North that has conducted a long continued proj- 
ect of Corn inbreeding and crossing with special 
reference to Northern conditions.

our first offering of a hybrid from the State Ag-

by Mr. Wiidakas. It is a fine appearing pure 
yellow dent corn of fine habit and very prolific. 
Seems best adapted to most conditions.

CONTROLLED VARIETY CROSSES 


Our variety crosses have been outstanding for 
drouth resistance and yield at many of the 1941 
and 1942 trials. Our own trials seem to prove 
that variety crosses of our North Dakota Varie- | 
ties, if the proper warieties are selected, give 
much better yields than most of the hybrids, 
PIONEER CROSS NO. 3 (BOYD MINN. 13 x NAVAJO 
SACRED FLOUR CORN). 90 to 95 days. Just the 
combination of two outstanding varieties to give 
the best results. Tall,.the ears 244 to 3 ft. from 
the ground, and very leafy. Excellent for silage. 
Ears long and heavy. Matures about the same as 
Minn. 13. Heaviest yielder of all in several years 
of trials. 
PIONEER CROSS NO. 2 (BOYD MINN. 13 x MAN- 
DAN-NAVAJO YELLOW FLOUR CORN). 85 to 
90 days. Another flour corn cross, has the dent 
habit like all these crosses, a tall straight stalk 
with the ears well up, leafy. Ears are all yellow 
in color. 
PIONEER CROSS NO. 1 (Alta and Faleoner). S0O to 
85 days. We have produced this outstanding cross 
by detasseling the Alta and fertilizing it with 
pollen from Falconer. One of the heaviest 
yielders in trials for the past several years. We 
do not hesitate to recommend it as a real improve- 
ment over regular Falconer.
