for 8 years. In 6-year trials in Missouri, out- 
yielded Reid’s Yellow Dent 36 per cent. A smooth, 
yellow corn, not flinty, prolific, tending to two or 
more good ears on fair soil and in good season.

U. S. 13 
Main Crop Yellow—120-125 days 
A grand hybrid in every way and very popular 
throughout the corn belt. Single ear tendency. 
Deep kernels high in feeding value. Resistant to 
drought and chinch bug. Shucks easily. Stands up 
well. The first hybrid to ever win the Grand Cham- 
pionship at the International in Chicago, in both 
10-ear yellow and shelled corn class. 
ARCHIAS’ “STATE CERTIFIED” 
U. S. 13 
Some folks prefer State Certified Seed and we 
believe they are right in most instances. We have 
a good certified grower, one of the State’s best, to 
produce our supply of ‘‘Certified’’ U. S. 13. His 
seed fields were among the finest in Missouri this 
year. The seed is well graded. You'll be well 
pleased. Price: 50c per bushel more than Archias’ 
Special Strain. 
MISSOURI 148 
120-125 days 
Seed supply of this new variety very limited. 
Order at once before we are sold out. Missouri 
148 parentage is similar to Missouri 8; however, 
in breeding this new hybrid the undesirable feat- 
ures of Missouri 8 have been removed, retaining 
the good features and many of the good features 
of U. S. 13 have been added. 
A very tall hybrid with deep green foliage. Ears 
borne high, are long and somewhat tapering. Ker- 
nels medium yellow with medium indentation. 
Resistant to lodging under most conditions. Best 
adapted to the area south of the Missouri river. 
No. 148 was near the top in many of the atate 
yield tests in 1942. 





Reid’s Yellow Dent 
Hybrids 
Pure Reid-Bred Hybrids are the results of more 
than fifteen years of Corn breeding from ears like 
you and your father used to save for seed ears. The 
fruit of more than 200 years of able farmer seed 
selection, brought up to date in hybrid form, is 
now fully expressed in these new modern creations, 
the original and only genuine REID YELLOW 
DENT HYBRIDS. 
REID-MIDLAND (Called R.M.) This is one of 
our most talked about hybrids. No hybrid pro- 
duces ears like this Corn with its small cob, ex- 
treme depth of grain and kernels of the most 
palatable soft starch. This variety is much im- 
proved from the original introduction. Ears are 
at a good height for shucking. Very drought- 
resistant. Tops in yield. Hogs leave all other 
Corn in preference for it. Leafy plant, with large 
tassel and abundant pollen. To see it is to fully 
appreciate it. 120-125 days. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT 118R. The most out- 
standing hybrid in the entire hybrid business. 
Season after season we sel] more of this Corn than 
any other Reid’s variety because of its wonderful 
performance under a wide range of conditions. A 
big-eared variety with marvelous yields; strong 
stalks; fast, early growth. Truly the Corn without 
a fault. Widely used across Missouri, Iowa and 
Kansas. 115 to 120 days. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT 134. Has an outstanding 
record for heat and drought resistance and high 
yield. Dark green leaves and strong stalk. Clean 
picking and shucking make this variety unsur- 
passed over a wide area from Eastern Kansas and 
Central Missouri to Oklahoma and in Arkansas. 
A long time yield winner in the upper delta. 
Has a rougher dent than formerly and is a leader 
in its field. 125 to 130 days.
