ADAPTATION —G-12 was one of the few hybrids 
that matured as far north as Minnesota last sea- 
son before the late September freeze. In normal 
season, it is a full season crop in the lower part 
of Region 1 (map on page 4). It yields well as 
far north as Janesville, Wis., and Lansing, Mich. 
A most excellent hybrid for the muck lands of 
northern Indiana. It is a medium to full season 
strain in Region 2. Satisfactory for late planting 
in Regions 3 and 4. 
Thousands of livestock farmers in the northern corn belt 
plant nothing but Funk’s G-12—the all-around corn 
for the area where the growing season is short. The field 
performance of G-12 is unrivaled in its adapted area. 
It grows rapidly. It will tassel as early as the seventh or 
eighth week after planting. Its foliage remains green 
longer than usual, which makes it an excellent hybrid 
for silage. This late season vigor also means that extra 
amounts of starch are deposited in the ears, accounting 
for its remarkable yields of cribbing corn. Whether you 
want silage, fodder or crib corn, G-12 will do the job. 
Many farmers, especially those faced with labor 
shortage, prefer G-12 because its characteristics make 
harvest less difficult. Funk’s G-12 has a proven ability 
to stand well through fall winds and even winter 
snows. You don’t have to hire extra help in the fall if 
you grow G-12. It can be harvested later, if necessary, 
after more pressing work is out of the way. 

Unusual performance of G-12 is the result of years of 
work by Funk corn breeders. Even now the inbreds that 
make up this hybrid are constanily being improved and 
tested, Dr, Holbert is seen personally directing the work,
