FUNK’S G-HYBRIDS 


Developed from Native Corn especially for 
North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia 
Southern farmers can now have the advantages 
of modern hybrid corn. New Funk’s G-Hybrids 
developed especially for the corn growing 
areas of North Carolina, South Carolina and 
Georgia offer you greater assurance of a good 
corn crop than you have ever had in the 
past. Higher yields, greater resistance to drouth, 
great disease resistance and better use of fer- 
tilizers are some of the outstanding advan- 
tages you can expect from Funk’s G-Hybrids 
as compared with native open-pollinated corn. 
Funk’s G-Hybrids for the South have been de- 
veloped by the nationwide Funk Research organ- 
ization from native southern varieties of corn in 
Funk hybrid corn nurseries, field laboratories 
and farm test plots located right here in the 
South. When you see the big red trade-mark ona 
bag of Funk’s G-Hybrid seed, you can be sure 
that it will produce corn well adapted to 
southern farming conditions. 

Dr. J. R. Holbert, director of the famous Funk 
Hybrid Corn Research staff, supervises the breed- 
ing of G-Hybrid strains for our southern hybrids. 
Dr. Holbert developed his first inbreds in 1916 
and most of our Funk G-Hybrids represent 10 
to 20 years of painstaking breeding. 
SEED PRODUCTION—Funk’s G-lHybrid seed for the South is produced in fields that look like this 
after ear parent rows have been detasseled before they have a chance to shed pollen. Seed is 
harvested just as soon as it is mature, and rushed to our plant where it is processed with up-to- 
date methods and modern equipment. 
RESEARCH—This is a section of the large Funk southern nursery—evidence that Funk’s G-Hybrids 
for the South are developed from native southern corn right in this territory. This Funk hybrid 
corn nursery is the largest of its kind in the South and is the heart of a network of southern Funk 
field laboratories and farm tes? plots.
