you these ADVANTAGES 
on oe 
RR eee 
Sure Stand-Up in Storms 
The strong, sturdy stalk, the 
great root anchor, the extra 
stamina bred into every Funk 
G Hybrid give it the ability 
to stand straight through 
storms that level ordinary 
corn to a tangled mass. 
Early Vigor Against Cold 
Springs 
Ability to get started early— 
even in cold, wet springs—is 
a big advantage—it's that 
jump start that provides an 
extra safety factor against 
both dry spells and early 
frosts. 
Resistance Against 
Accidents 
Accidents which can affect a 
corn plant range all the way 
from mechanical injury to 
peculiar weather combina- 
tions that encourage disease 
—like the “brown death” 
blight of several years ago. 
The reserves in Funk G Hy- 
brids enable the plants to go 
on producing the ear in spite 
of these accidents. 
Resistance Against 
Drought 
Every year some area has a 
long, dry period. Every sea- 
son produces a period when 
rain is badly needed. Isn’t it 
just common sense to depend 
on a corn that can build 
réserves to carry it through 
this period?

Uniform Height of Ears 
Whether you harvest by me- 
chanical picker or the good 
old hand method, this Funk 
G trait saves time and labor. 
Most of our customers say 
they harvest their greater 
yields in less time. 
Short Shanks—Full Husks 
A requirement of the Funk G 
breeding staff is short-shank 
hybrids, so necessary at har- 
vesting time. Many a corn 
plant capable of growing a 
good ear could not protect 
that ear with adequate husk. 
Many a plant grew shank in- 
stead of corn. Funk G Hy- 
brids produce well-protected 
ears on easy-to-husk shanks, 
Uniform Maturity 
You don't have to wonder 
when to harvest, or worry 
about early frosts, with Funk 
G Hybrids. The localized re- 
search program has assured 
you of safe maturity—Funk 
G characteristics assure uni- 
form maturity. 
Harvest When You Are 
Ready! 
Those green stalks at harvest 
time mean food value to 
keep the corn standing 
straight till you are ready. In 
certain recent cases, farmers 
couldn't harvest their Funk 
G corn till spring—and it was 
still standing straight.
