G Hybrids is the ability to manufac- 
ture food for strength. 
All Hoffman Funk G Hybrids, for 
instance, have 
“EXTRA-POWER-FULL” 
ROOT SYSTEMS 
Roots are the powerhouse of the corn 
plant, and the great root structure of 
the G Hybrid has power that counts! 
In times of drought, these roots go 
deep and wide for moisture. In the 
stress of storms they anchor the plant 
in the ground. At all times, they 
supply the power for the plant to 
make more food to mature good ears, 
and still have enough left to resist 
enemies that may attack. 
All Hoffman Funk G Hybrids have 
GREAT LEAF SYSTEMS 
The leaves on any corn plant manu- 
facture the food the plant needs to 
grow and produce. A Funk G Hybrid 
has many, many more square inches 
of leaf surface—and thicker, heavier 
leaves—than ordinary plants, hybrid 
or open-pollinated. Consequently, it 
has the ability to manufacture more 
food. The jungle-like growth of wide 


leaves in a field of Funk G corn is 
tremendously important to you when 
you realize that your corn has to 
manufacture more than 20,000 lbs. of 
corn-sugar for every 100 bushels of 
corn it produces. 
All Hoffman Funk G Hybrids have 
STRONG, THICK, 
““FOOD-STORING” STALKS 
Hosts of users have written how well 
their Funk G stalks stood in wind and 
rain. But that's just one good point 
about these stalks! Note: the stalk is 
the plant warehouse, storing the food 
the leaves manufacture. A Funk G 
stalk has enough food for good ears, 
and enough left over to keep the 
plant still green at husking time and 
standing upright no matter how late 
the harvesting crew may be. As the 
next pages show, it stores enough 
food to bring in an extra good yield 
—in spite of disease, insect attack, 
accidents, or wet, rainy falls. 
Breeding ‘brains’ with the insight 
to recognize the value of these basic 
characteristics, breeding skill with 
the ability to develop them in all 
Funk G Hybrids is another reason 
why the man who grows these hy- 
brids year after year is always ahead.
