BERRY'S US.35 
About 110 Day Type 
This hybrid has three of the same In- 
breds used in making U. S. 13. Change of 
the 4th inbred makes a definitely different 
variety. The kernels are just as soft or 
perhaps a bit softer. The grain 1s just as 
deep. Maturity a little earlier. It has a 
high shelling percentage. Ears are slightly 
more tapered than U.S. 13. Ear droppage 
is less. Color of grain a little lighter. Ears 
somewhat lower on the stalk. 
_ ~We consider it superiot for machine 
 husking but it is not difficult to shuck by 
hand. The stalks are strong. It stands up 
well and resists heat and drought. You 
will find it an excellent variety for its yields 
are exceptionally heavy and will give you 
both quality and quantity production. 
‘We consider this variety adapted to all 
sections having conditions similar to east- 
ern Nebraska, Kansas, South Central and 
- Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri. It 
aS is widely grown through- 
out these sections and on 
east to the Atlantic coast. 
“Makes a fine corn further 
north for ensilage and 
further south where early 
maturity is desired. It is 
a time tested Hybrid that 
has proven itself one of 
p- the best.;

for Ensilage 
Farmers from many sections 3 
and especially from Wisconsin, Minnesota, 
Michigan and other states where a lot of 
corn is planted for ensilage have said, 
“we would like to put in hybrids for en- 
silage but the seed is so expensive.” They 
recognize the extra grain yield and the 
stronger stalks as a big factor in ensilage 
corn as well as for mature grain. Some 
have used hybrid seed in spite of ma- 
terially higher seed costs. 
Now you can plant hybrid as cheap or cheaper 
than open pollinated corn, We have some special 
grades of hybrids in the round grain that are ad- 
mirably suited for ensilage planting. They will 
grow just as well and produce just as much as 
flat grain corn. In fact we consider it is better 
for early planting and that it will withstand 
_more unfavorable weather in the spring. You 
might have to get plates for planting but you 
get the corn at a big discount. 
You can select from any of the varieties on 
pages 3, 4 or 5. Just state variety wanted and 
that you want ENSILAGE GRADE ROUND. 
Figure it at only $4.25 per bu. Seed is graded 
for accurate planting and is of guaranteed high 
germination,

BERRY’S GRADES 
and GUARANTEE 
Our Hybrids Are Chemically Treated 
This seed is first hand sorted, then dried and 
shelled. Then it passes through six machines.’ 
First the extra large and extra\small is removed. 
Then the kernels are graded for thickness, for 
width and for length. Next another special ma- 
chine takes kernels of the same size and grades, 
then for weight to remove light or chaffy grains. 
The next step is the application of a chemical 
dust. This kills diseases that might be prevalent 
especially in a cold wet spring. We guarantee 
our seed to germinate 90% or better. It is gen- 
erally 94 to 96%. You can have 30 days to make 
any test desired, Write for shipping instructions 
if you are not completely satisfied. We will 
promptly refund the purchase price plus freight. 
Round Grades 
for Best Yields 
Our tests show that medium and large 
round kernels make the strongest stalks 
and tend to be superior to average flat 
grades in yield per acre. This apparent- 
ly is due to the greater supply of plant 
food in the kernel. This helps give the 
plant a better start. This seems particu- 
larly true with unfavorable conditions at 
planting time. Our tests also indicate 
that all round grains seem to germinate 
better when cool weather follows plant- 
ing. If your planter does not have 
proper plates they can be secured at 
‘reasonable cost. The saving on one 
bushel will more than pay for the plates.
