Hybrids Produce a Bigger Yield of Better Corn 
U.S.-13.—This is a highly recommended yellow hy- 
brid for planting from Virginia to Georgia. It has 
been thoroughly tested and bears the stamp of ap- 
proval of most of the Agricultural authorities. It 
has been grown for years by some of the best farmers 
in the South with excellent results. 
See Price List. 
ILLINOIS 200.—This is a standard yellow hybrid 
that has been in production for many years and made 
a host of friends. The ears are large, well filled to 
the tip. The grains are medium size, long with a 
light yellow color. It is a vigorous grower, will 
make a good crop on almost all soils and will stand 
both dry weather and windstorms. 
See Price List. 
ILLINOIS 448.—Many growers have told us that 
this is the highest yielding corn to be had. It has cer- 
tainly become very popular in the past few years 
The stalk is rugged and tall with dark green fodder. 
The ears are large, heavy, and well filled with deep 
golden grains. It is easy to shuck and stands up 
well under adverse conditions. For good grain land 
or rich bottoms, this will make you a record yield. 
See Price List. 
TENNESSEE 10.—This is a comparatively new 
white hybrid that has possibilities. It is hard to find 
a white hybrid that will yield up to the yellows but 
this one comes nearer approaching the yield of the 
yellows than anything we have found yet. The stalk 
is medium tall and rugged standing up well under 
storm conditions.- It will stand much dry weather 
and retain its deep green color. The ears are large, 
long and heavy. The grain is rather broad, long, and 
white. It will make a good feed corn or excellent 
bread.

Hybrid Corns 
A few years ago, hybrid corns were al- 
most unknown in the South but today the 
farmer who keeps up with the times knows 
that higher yields and better corn can be 
grown from hybrids than from open polli- 
nated varieties. All of the hybrids listed 
here have been tested for adi uptability in the 
South and each variety listed has been se- 
lected for a specific purpose. Thus we have 
tried to get the best of the many hybrids for 
our customers without naming a confusing 
list of varieties. Many farmers think that 
all hybrids are alike but this is a mistake. 
The value of a hybrid depends upon the par- 
ent stock from which it is bred. 
G-515W—WHITE.—White corn will al- 
ways have an important place on southern 
farms and. for this reason, we have selected 
one of Funk’s best white hybrids. G-515W 
is a vigorous grower with stalks of medium 
height and producing a large long ear of 
corn. The kernels are deep, large and broad. 
It will make a heavy yield of good feed corn 
and one of the best milling corns to be had. 
The G-515W will yield right along with the 
yellow hybrids and crops of 60 to 75 bu. per 
acre are quite common in carefully measured 
official tests. 
See Price List. 
+-90—Y ELLOW.— Many of us must still 
plant corn on land of low fertility. G-90 has 
been bred to produce well on thin soils and for this 
reason it is destined to become one of the most im- 
portant hybrids for the South. It is a single eared 
hybrid with very stiff stalk and a remarkable resist- 
ance to heat and dry weather. It is a fast grower 
with large dark green fodder, holding its color on 
through the season. The ears are large and long and 
filled with long grains of medium width and a rich 
golden color. If you have land that produces only a 
fair yield of ordinary corn, plant it in G-90 and get 
a big yield. 
See Price List. 
G-135—Y ELLOW.—this variety has a remarkable 
record for high yields in the Southern corn belt where 
it is known as the “Weatherproof” corn. We are 
offering it as being especially adapted to lowland 
cultivation. G-135 stands up well under both flood and 
dry weather and makes a consistently high yield of 
excellent quality corn. This big rugged hybrid has a 
tall stalk that resists wind storms, “insects, and dis- 
ease and comes through with a big yield where others 
fail. It is a single eared sort but the ears are very 
long, large, and filled with deep kernels of medium 
width. This variety has been thoroughly tested and 
proven to be one of the best of the yellow hybrids. 
See Price List. 
G-80—YELLOW.— This variety holds the new 
world’s record of 190.1 bushels per acre in a five acre 
yield contest. It is some later than the other yellow 
hybrids listed here but should be perfectly safe from 
Virginia South and is adapted to a wide range of 
soil types. We believe this to be the heaviest yield- 
ing corn on our list and at the same time it has the 
rugged constitution to go through our hot dry sum- 
mers with a minimum of damage. The stalk is tall 
and vigorous with strong stay roots to hold it erect. 
The ears are very large and almost the same size at 
both ends. The grain is dented, long and of medium 
width.
