Seed Corn 
We do not offer what is usually termed 
Commercial Grade Seed Corn. All corn of- 
fered is carefully selected as to type, hand 
tipped and butted and tested for germina- 
tion. While the hand-selected corn costs 
slightly more, it is well worth the difference. 

NATIVE GROWN CORN 
Generally considered to be the best medium 
or late corn for this locality. 
LEE’S IMPROVED ST. CHARLES WHITE 
(110 days). Known throughout the South 
as a standard red cob corn. Has a large deep 
white grain set on a large red cob. Ears 
remarkably large. Especially adapted to 
bottom lands- 
LEE’S BIG YELLOW DENT (110 days). A 
standard late heavy-land corn. ‘Cob is long, 
red and medium small. Kernel long, deep 
yellow, rather soft. A very heavy yielding 
variety. 
IOWA SILVER MINE (90 days). We offer 
a limited quantity of this excellent native- 
grown corn. Does exceptionally well on 
medium or heavy soils. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT (90 days). This 
fine Early Corn is adapted to both upland 
and bottom land. Grains are deep and close- 
ly packed. Our largest selling variety of 
corn and one of the best of the Yellow Dent 
varieties. 
PAYMASTER (110 days). An extra large, 
long, deep grained white corn with red cob, 
especially adapted to bottom land. 
HICKORY KING (110 days). Has the small- 
est cob of any corn grown. Very resistant 
to drought. Produces a large, flat, white 
grain. 
LEE’S DWARF MEXICAN JUNE (White). 
A late planting variety introduced by us 
about thirty years ago from Mexico. Noted 
for its drought resistant properties. 
TRUCKER’S FAVORITE (70 Day White). 
The most valuable extra early corn we have 
ever offered. Produces an ear 9 to 11 inches 
long, usually two to three ears to the stalk. 
Not only will it produce a crop equal to most 
of the larger varieties, it rarely misses ma- 
turing a crop before the drought sets in. 
The corn we offer is Northern grown, which 
will mature earlier than our native-grown. 
HYBRID SEED CORN 
Increased yields are what every farmer 
wants and that is exactly what hybrid corn 
helps him get. Hybrids have a heavy root 
system to resist drought and offer greater 
resistance to insects. Have sturdy stalks 
that resist wind and storms and are resis- 
tant to cold wet weather and hot winds. It 
has been proved beyond a doubt by tests 
made at the University of Arkansas that 
hybrid corns out-yield most open-pollinated 
varieties. Hybrids are no longer in the ex- 
perimental stage and each year more and 
more corn growers are planting a large 
portion of their acreage to one or more 
proved strains. The yield the past year has 
been quite satisfactory. The ability of 
hybrid corn to withstand severe droughts 
has been thoroughly tested, and it is the 
opinion of corn growers that this is one of 
the big assets of hybrid corns, proven by 
experiments and trials over a number of 
years by nearly all state experiment sta- 
tions. 
We offer Funk’s Hybrid Corn grown in 
Missouri under their supervision. Also, 
1001 Hybrid. This is a soft corn fully 
described in this column. 
FUNK’S HYBRID G-244. An early matur- 
ing, yellow, two-eared hybrid. Medium tall, 
excellent grain quality and resistant to 
drought and insects. An excellent ‘hybrid 
aoe general use on both upland and bottom 
soils. 
FUNK’S HYBRID G-46. Medium to full 
season. Later than G-244 and recommended 
for bottom lands. The long, single ears turn 
out big yields. 
1001 HYBRID CORN. Developed by one of 
America’s foremost corn breeders, is a main 
crop, late-maturing, yellow-grain, white cob 
variety, doing its finest in fertile soil under 
favorable conditions, or unfavorable when 
the going is tough. A large, tall, full-season 
corn, with high shelling percentage, not 
hard. Resistant to drought and chinch bugs, 
shucks easily. This is the variety of Hybrid 
Corn that we have been looking for since 
the Hybrid Corns have been introduced, suit- 
able for feeding mules and preferable to any 
variety of Hybrid Corn we know of for this 
purpose.
