SEAL OF ASSURANCE 
The Funk G Hybrid Seal is your assurance 
that your seed has the ability to make out- 
standing corn. 
The job of getting best corn performance 
for your farm doesn’t end with the research 
program. Growing and preparation of the seed 
is an important branch of the Funk G organi- 
zation, too. 
Much of the seed for G Hybrids used in the 
East is grown right here, under Hoffman super- 
vision. All possible precautions are taken to 
make sure that this seed ‘‘measures up” to the 
preparations made for your corn performance. 
FERTILITY pays off. Fields of well-balanced 
fertility give the seed crop that extra push that 
helps to produce fully mature, plump kernels. 
ISOLATION of seed production fields is im- 
portant. Months before planting time, Funk G 
Hybrid seedsmen select farms with the best 
soil... fields which are well isolated ... and 
farm operators who know their business. 
DETASSELING is a major operation that must 
be done thoroughly and carefully, on a strict 
time schedule. Many millions of tassels of 
Funk G Hybrid seed parent plants must be 
removed before they shed pollen. 
EARLY HARVEST. . . . Seed ears are har- 
vested as soon as possible after maturity. 
Every precaution is taken to get the seed safely . 
inside before germination can be hurt by 
severe cold weather. 
EAR SELECTION by crews of specially 
trained inspectors insures that ears and kernels 
which fail to meet high Funk G Hybrid stand- 
ards are eliminated. Repeated hand sorting 
assures quality. 
SAFE DRYING by electrically controlled 
heat in special bins reduces moisture to about 
12 per cent and makes the seed almost immune 
to damage from temperature changes while 
the corn is in storage. 
ACCURATE GRADING, done by modern 
machinery, results in uniformity of Funk G 
kernel size and shape, making your corn plant- 
ing go quickly and smoothly. Actually 3 to 5 
times as many separations as the average seed. 
PROTECTION against seedling diseases is 
given to the seed by treatments of a specially 
formulated dust. Research points out that these 
seed treatments may add one to three extra 
bushels per acre to the corn cror. 
GERMINATION tests on all lots of seed are 
made continually and repeatedly throughout 
the storage season to make absolutely certain 
that the seed corn delivered to you will give 
you positive high germination.
