Here’s the Key for the Man 
Who Wants More Corn 
Funk G Hybrid successes—and the features that 
assure them—are not accidental. They are the 
result of hundreds of thousands of inbreedings, 
cross-matings, patient study of the foundation 
that will get more corn in any condition. And 
you'll find that foundation is the stalk quality, 
the root structure and the leafiness and disease 
resistance of a Funk G Hybrid plant. The year- 
after-year breeding program to build these qual- 
ities into every Funk G Hybrid is the work of 
Dr. Jim Holbert (and his expert staff)—a man 
who studied corn over 25 years, learning about 
the factors it takes to get more corn—and is con- 
stantly improving his combinations to strengthen 
those features. 
But even the best hybrid must be used under 
conditions for which it is bred and best suited. 
So the distributor of a successful hybrid must 
KNOW THESE FACTS! He must be thoroughly fa- 
miliar with the soil, season, altitude, location and 
purpose of his customer. And he must know just 
which hybrid varieties will meet those condi- 
tions best. That's why the Hoffman customer has 
double reason to succeed with his recommended 
G Hybrid. For nine straight years Hoffman has 
maintained a gigantic Proving Ground Program 
to determine under actual growing conditions 
just what each G Hybrid will do. Read the pic- 
ture story of this program on next page—realize 
that these facts are what makes Funk G Hybrids 
so universally successful in this area.

contaminating pollen. 
Center—Tassels covered so they cannot shed 
their pollen onto silks where not wanted.

vast breeding program) inspecting two of his 
inbreds in a breeding nursery.
