EER HYBRID SEED CORN 
We are the only commercial Seed House in the North 
that has conducted a long continued project of Corn in- 
breeding and crossing with special reference to Northern 
Plains conditions. 
iy 







We are offering this year nine Hybrids, particularly adapted to the Northern Plains and 
_ Midland country. It is too bad that the real value of adapted hybrids has been obscured 
‘by the promiscuous selling of hybrids in no way adapted to the territory by gullible or ir- 
responsible dealers who did not know what hybrid meant and did not care. 





We offer seven of our own hybrids, products of ten to twenty years of breeding and test- 
ing. We know that they will outyield similar types of common seed corn, stand up better 
and be easier to pick. sz . 
We offer also two early yellow dent hybrids from the corn breeding department at the 
State Experiment Station. 
Try hybrids bred for the Northern Plains and you will be surprised and delighted by 
the results. ; 
We have tested these all for several years and find’ that they yield well above the ordi- 
nary strains of corn and possess greater vigor and strength. Yield depends on several fac- 
tors. They are: number of ears to the stalk, number of stalks to the hill, size of the ears, 
and maturity of the ears at the average frost date. We believe that our hybrids will make 
a high score under each of these headings.

HYBRIDS ESPECIALLY FOR HOGGING OR SHEEPING OFF. These two hybrids

ever seen. They do not grow very high and are easily reached by the feeding 
animals. The flour corn parent gives them a softer quality which makes them 
more easily chewed and ground up. We have produced them in response to a
