NS TREATED. Plant Hybrid Corn WiLL BE 
WITH CERESAN 
ISSUED LATER 
The worth of Hybrid Corn has been proven to such an extent that hybrids are being planted in 
greater amounts each year and in many sections have supplanted and eclipsed the open-pollinated 
varieties. Hybrid corn produces larger yields of both grain and fodder. Their growth and maturity is 
uniform. They are resistant to lodging due to greater strength in both root and stalks. They are de- 
cidedly more resistant to smut and root, stalk and ear-rot diseases. No hybrids have been developed 
that are recommended for dry-land planting, yet hybrids with their immense root system do withstand 
82 
extreme drought and intensive heat remarkably well. 
PRIDE BRAND HYBRIDS 
are closed formula productions 
developed by expert plant breed- 
ers and their value has been 
proven by several years of rigid 
tests in field trials. The entire 
production operation is rigidly 
supervised. Seed is processed, 
bagged and sealed by the 
TWIN CITY SEED CO. breeder. 
BREEDERS & GROWER 
“PRIDE OF THE NORTH” 

PRIDE B17—(90-95 day). This all-yellow Hybrid 
Corn is 5 to 7 days earlier than Standard strains 
of Minnesota 13. It is recommended for the 
higher altitudes in northern Colorado and Wy- 
oming and for late planting in more favored 
sections. Very uniform in appearance, stiff stalked 
with deep disease-resistant root system. 
PRIDE D32—(100 day). This early 100-day hybrid 
is slightly earlier than the standard strains of 
Minnesota No. 13. Its performance has 
been outstanding on cold or slow soils and 
has outyielded later strains. Ears are 
large, firmly mounted on strong, long 
shanks to stiff, upright stalks. Kernels are 
well dented, deep and starchy but non- 
flinty. Husks open up after denting. 
PRIDE D54—(110 day). This new hybrid re- 
places Tru-Krost Wis. 570. It is highly 
adapted to varying conditions of season, 
soil and moisture. The stalk and root 
system is very resistant to disease and drouth. 
Very few hybrids in its maturity class are equal 
in lodging resistance and stalk breakage. Ears 
are medium length and attached to the stalk 
at convenient height on strong, medium long 
shanks. The grain is unusually deep and closely 
packed on a small, fast drying cob and has good 
feed value. 
PRIDE B77—{115 day). Full season variety of ex- 
ceptional size with all around qualities of root, 
stalk, leaf, and ear. Produces large, thick ears 
and very deep, well dented kernels on a small 
cob. Stalks are stiff, shank short and strong. 
Well suited for Arkansas Valley and similar 
districts for grain and fodder and in place of 
silage corns such as Leaming, lowa Goldmine, 
Reid's Yellow Dent and Red Cob Ensilage. 

GOLD SEAL HYBRIDS 
This corn is grown and 
processed for us by a Regis- 
tered Colorado Pure Seed 
Grower from open hybrid 
formulas, and supervised by 
Colorado State authorities. 
Each bushel bag bears the 
official, registered blue tag. 

COLORADO 125 (WIS. 455)—(100 day). Colorado's 
earliest maturing hybrid corn. It is about seven 
days earlier than Minnesota 13, and is adapted 
for northern Colorado irrigated land, 5,000 feet 
elevation, with comparatively short corn growing 
season. 
COLORADO 151—(WIS. 570)—(110 day). This is a 
dual-purpose hybrid originally developed by the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station. It is capable of 
producing high yields of fodder and grain. It 
produces showy ears, well filled to the tip with 
dented yellow kernels. Stalks are strong and 
wind-resistant. A valuable replacement 
for Reid’s Yellow Dent. 
WISCONSIN 606—(110 day). A develop- 
ment of the Wisconsin Experiment Sta- 
tion. Very similar in plant and ear type 
to Wis. 570. Produces a leafy growth. 
Stalks are resistant to lodging, short 
shank, closely packed kernels. Recom- 
mended for Denver area and localities 
with similar conditions. Not registered 
in Colorado. 
COLORADO 175—(WIS. 625)—(115 day). This va- 
riety produces a heavy tonnage of fodder that 
stays partially green even when the corn is fully 
mature. Deep kernels, small cobs, not flinty and 
easy for livestock to digest. Has standing ability 
superior to most hybrids. Ears stand at righ 
height and the husks are loose. é 
COLORADO NO. 220 (WIS. 696)— 
(120 day). This variety is a good 
replacement for Wis. 680 and is 
adapted to the lower Platte Val- 
ley and similar regions in the 
upper Arkansas Valley and on 
the Western Slope. It matures 
with the earlier ‘selections of 
Reid's Yellow Dent.
