speak of a blend 
we mean a com- 
bination of dif- 
ferent varieties 
of Hybrids. 
There is a very 
definite Teason for making these 
blends. Most Hybrids have a short 
pollinating period. If hot, dry weather 
happens to strike at that time consid- 
erable pollen will be killed and this 
will result in poorly filled ears and 
thus lower yields. By using two or 
three varieties mixed, which mature 
at about the same time and yet have 
slightly different pollinating dates, this 
danger is reduced. It gives greater 
assurance of well filled ears and big- 
ger yields. 
Low Cost Big Yields 
Berry’s Hi-Yield Blends are made 
from the varieties listed in this cata- 
log. We.make our prices low as a spe- 
cial inducement to get you _ started 
what many companies ask for corn. 
More important than low cost is big 
return. Here are some typical custo- 
mers reports, “It was the best corn I 
ever grew’’ ‘‘None of the high priced Hybrids ex- 
celled your Blend” ‘“‘Your Hybrid Blend was the 
best corn in this community’ “I want some more 
of your Blended Hybrids—they were as good as 
any’’ “‘Your Hi-Yield Blend was the best ensilage 
corn I ever grew. Filled a 120 ton silo from 
614% acres” Here is real value at a genuine sav- 
ing in cost. 
Guaranteed Quality 
We guarantee that you will be completely satis- 
fied with the shipment you will receive. The corn 
has been tested and will germinate 90% or better. 
The seed is treated to give you added assurance of 
good stands even under unfavorable conditions after 
planting. The seed both Round and Thick Flat is 
graded for accurate planting. After you receive 
your shipment you can take up to 380 days to test 
it for germination and do anything you wish to 
satisfy yourself that you have a great value. If, 
for any reason whatsoever, you are not thoroughly 
pleased, drop us a line, We will give you shipping 
instructions and promptly refund the money you 
paid—plus freight charges. 

THICK FLAT GRADE 
r $4.75 Per Bu. 
The Thick Flat is a grade in which the kernels 
are too thick to make the regular flat grades, al- 
though they have about the same length or depth. 
This in our opinion is the sturdiest and most vigor- 
ous kind of seed available. It is graded to plant 
aceurately when proper plates are used. We be- 
lieve you will prefer this to any other grade once 
you find out what it can do for you.

Improved Yields 
In the average 
year any single 
Hybrid variety 
will pollinate very 
satisfactorily. Itis 
during hot, dry# 
spells that the 
blends are most 
outstanding. We 
from customers 
telling us that the 
blends or mixtures 
they made them- 
selves almost dou- 
bled the yield of 
other single Hy- 
brids and that they (2 
had by far thef 
heaviest yielding 
fields in their 
neighborhood. 
Berry’s Blends, therefore, are based | on 
actual practical farm experience. 
In making these blends we select 
varieties that are relatively close to- 
gether in maturity as too wide a vari- 
ation would result in mature and im- 
mature ears mixed in the field. Thus 
you can secure proper blends and secure this 
added assurance of big, well filled ears and big- 
ger yields. 
Our Two Most Popular Blends 
110 Day. This averages around 110 days 
maturity. May vary from 105-115 days. This 
blend should be found suitable for most Corn- 
Belt farmers, except northern sections where 
early maturity corn is desirable, and the south 
third of the Corn-Belt. 
120 Day. This blend is about 10 days later in ma- 
turing than our 110 day. It is composed of main 
crop varieties such as U.S. 13 and others adapted for 
the southern part of the Corn-Belt, such as south- 
ern Iowa, northern Missouri, south central Illinois, 
southern Indiana, southern Ohio etc. 
Both 110 day and 120 day blends are excellent for 
ensilage. Order either 110 day or 120 day Hi-Yield 
Blends in Round grain at $4.25 or Thick Flat at 
$4.75 per bushel, to save money and still have the 
best in Hybrid Corn. 






| ROUND GRAIN 
$4.25 Per Bu. 
Because of more plant food in the kernels Round 
Grains will often produce stronger, more vigorous 
plants and therefore better yields. Under cold con- 
ditions after planting, it usually shows better ger- 
mination. Graded for accurate planting. If your 
planter does not have plates for round corn the cost - 
of a set is more than paid for by the saving in cost. 
Make big savings, and get fine heavy producing seed.
