others write that they have secured larger yields, finer feeding 
quality, excellent husking and vigorous healthy plants.

Single Ear, Deep Grain—Fine Feed 
A beautiful Hybrid. Starts off with a bang 
after planting, making early cultivation easy. 
An abundance of vigorous dark green foliage 
borne on stiff, strong stalks. Pretty as a pic- 
ture while growing and it yields as fine as it 
looks. The big single ears are borne at me- 
dium height. A fine corn for either hand or 
‘machine picking. The husks on the ear dries 
while stalks are still green, thus enabling the 
ear to make its fullest development. The: ker- 
nels are deep and golden yellow in color. It 
is not a hard, flinty corn. Contains sufficient 
soft stock so all. kinds of livestock can eat the 
grain readily but is not so starchy as to im- 
pair its high feeding value. 
This Hybrid is resistant to drought, chinch 
bugs and disease. It is adapted to a-wide 
range of soils. We consider it one of the heav- 
jest yielders obtainable on rich land: Nat- 
urally on thin land it will produce less but 
compared with other kinds on the same soil 
it will prove its superior productiveness, 
This variety is similar to U. S:. 13 but ear- 
lier in maturity and can be grown into north 
central Iowa and east and west in sections 
having similar conditions. Also grown in 
southern Towa and sections further south 
when a little earlier maturity is desired. 
In its maturity class we do not 
believe there is a Hybrid that will 
beat it for yields, quality and all 
around satisfactory performance SS 
and profit: See maps for areas to 
which warieties are best adapted.

Such satisfaction does not come by accident. 
It comes from the development of varieties 
that have proven superior in research and 
actual farm experience. It comes from using 
better seed stock, careful growing and proe- 
essing of the seed. It excels because it is 
graded carefully for accurate planting. The 
seed has high germination to help assure full 
stands of the highest yielding quality Hy- 
brids. Our seeds cost you no more than or- 
dinary Hybrids. See guarantee page 5. Grow 
Berry’s Hybrids and learn as others have done 
that they are quality products that’ bring 
greater profits. 
.About 105 to 110 Day Maturity 
Single Ear. Fine Quality. Heavy Yields 
A great many of our customers need a corn 
of fairly early maturity and, of course, still 
want top yields and quality. This variety will 
fill that need exactly for farmers living in sec- 
tions similar to that from northern Iowa down 
south for about % the way through the state. 
This takes in parts of Nebraska and goes east 
through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania 
and West Virginia. 4 
Perhaps you may be acquainted with the 
Iowa 939 which is very widely grown through- 
out this area. Berry’s 615 is made up of three 
of the same inbreds. By changing one inbred 
we have made a corn which has a longer ear 
and a straighter one. It is superior in strength 
of stalk and root and there is less ear drop- 
age. : 
z Thus the good, sound qualities of 939 have 
been retained and these superior factors 
added. If there is much difference between 
varieties as to adaptability to soil types we 
would consider this to be well adapted to 
thinner soils. However, it is also excellent for 
better land and responds to increased fertility 
by really rolling out the bushels. Because of 
its earlier maturity it is an excellent selection 
on land of medium to low fertility. In sections 
subject to heat and drought this earlier ma- 
turity is also a big advantage. 
The grain is a rich yellow with a reddish 
tinge on the sides of the kernels. 
They are medium rough, easily 
eaten by live stock. Stalks are 
strong. Hars medium long. Fine 
for hand or machine picking. Good 
drought resistance and a _ very 
heavy yielder.
