BERRY 
8i3 
About 120 Day Type 
Contains Extra Inbreds 
If you could only hear the enthusiastic 
reports from farmers who have grown 
this great Hybrid we wouldn’t have to 
say a word about it. The big long ears, 
the deep golden kernels, the large strong 
stalks, the fine feeding qualities and the 
tremendous yields are the things they 
talk about. Many of these farmers 
grew more than one Hybrid and to 
date we have found none who reported 
he had anything that outyielded or 
yielded as much as our 813. 
We wish you could have seen one of 
our seed fields at Clarinda this year. 
Great big ears and yielding over 150 
bushel per acre at early harvest time 
at 80 lb. per bu. 
In test plantings we have 
the following reports on “wit- 
nessed’”’ yields. 190.36 bu. per 
acre at 15% moisture, Andrew 
kK. Hovden, Decorah, lowa, 
169.05 bu., U. S. Newcomber, 
Auburn, Indiana; 146.57 bu. 
from Green City, Iowa; 137.28 
bu., Calmar. Iowa; 131-64 bu. 
Lakewood, Illinois. These 
records of yields indicate the 
wide adaptability of Berry’s 
813 and show the enormous 
capacity of this variety to 
yield. It is far above the 
average. 
This corn is U. S. 13 com- 
plete. Nothing has been taken 
from it but something has 
been added. Extra later pol- 
linating Inbreds have been 
incorporated. Our purpose is 
to provide additional pollen to 
assure fertilization of the 
ears in event the main pollen 
crop shall be burned by ex- 
cessively high temperatures. 
Thus there is provided an 
extra assurance of better filled 
ears. This also has a tendency 
to lengthen the ears and it ap- 
pears to reduce ear droppage. 
Thus you get U. S. 13—Plus 
these added factors, It is truly 
a great Hybrid. 
Characteristics 
One large ear per stalk. 
Easy to husk by hand or machine. Deep grains 
of high feeding value. Enough soft starch so live 
stock will eat it readily but not a real starchy 
kernel. Dark green foliage. Husks dry before stalk 
matures. Strong stalks. A 
vigorous grower. An excep- 
tional drought resister. Re- 
sistant to chinch bugs and 
disease. High shelling per- 
centage. A fine feeding corn. 
A longer pollinating period 
assuring better filled ears 
under adverse conditions. 
Adapted to a wide range of 
soils and suitable wherever 
U. S. 13 can be grown. Be 
sure to grow some this year. 























Deep Soft Grain 
Extra Heavy Yielder 
About 120 Day Type 
This great variety has made a 
wonderful record in yield from 
Nebraska to Connecticut and Dela- 
ware and south into Kentucky and 
other states. It is a strong stalked 
hybrid bearing a large well shaped ear. 
Its rich golden kernels ‘are large, deep 
and soft enough to be readily eaten by 
all live stock. Grain looks like the old 
open pollinated corn but far excells and 
outyields it. It stands up well, is re- 
sistant to drought, chinch bugs and dis- 
ease. Has fine dark green foliage. It is 
a vigorous grower and is one of the most 
profitable and productive of hybrid varieties. 
Yield Records 
These are some recorded 
yields of official state tess: 
lowa 108.4 bu. per acre, Ohio 
123.0 bu., Nebraska 106 bu., 
Pennsylvania 97.7, Indiana 
103.2, Missouri 121 bu., Illi- 
nois 112.6, in Maryland 
134% over check variety. 
In Kentucky only a frae- 
tion of a bushel under 
first place and first in Con- 
necticut in the late series 
test. This also shows the 
wide area to which this Hy- 
brid is adapted. While ears 
shorten somewhat on thin 
soil it still will outyield al- 
most any other variety thus 
indicating its adapability to 
a wide range of soils. 
Character of 
Berry's U.S. 13 
All U. S. 13 seed is’ not 
equal in yielding ability. 
The quality of the founda- 
tion stock, the care used in 
crossing and processing may 
cause yields to vary from 10 
to 15 bu. per acre. That is 
to say U. 8. 13 seed produced by 
one grower may outyield U. S. 
13 from another grower by that 
many bushel. We do not know 
where to obtain finer seed than 
we used in producing our seed 
stock and in crossing and proc- 
essing we use great care so as 
to make Berry's U.S. 13 the 
best. : 
Most Seed Corn Companies sell U. S. 13 tinder 
a different name at much higher prices. A 
change of name does not change character; 
higher price will not improve 
the quality. We will supply 
you with high quality U. S. 
13 at a genuine saving in 
cost. Please order early and 
get just what you want. 
All varieties are made into 
six grades. Medium, Medium 
Large and Large in both Flat 
and Round grains. Specify 
which you prefer. Each lot 
graded for accurate planting. 
Round grades often do best.
