it’s Sensational 
If you could only hear the enthusiastic reports from farm- 
ers who have grown this great Hybrid we wouldn’t have to 
Say a word about it. The big long ears, the deep golden 
kernels, the large strong stalks, the fine feeding qualities and 
the tremendous yields are the things they talk about. Many 
of these farmers grew more than one Hybrid and to date we 
have found none who reported he had anything that yielded 
as much as our 813. 
Read About the "Stout Test" 
We wish you could have been here and seen the great seed 
field in the Harry Stout Farm. Would like to have had you 
help harvest those 295 acres checked, and watch the great 
big ears of Berry’s 813 being weighed in at 80 pounds to the 
bushel, for the amazing total of over 151.9 bushels to the 
aere.

Pictures of a Great Event 
These pictures show a portion of a field 
of our 813 Seed Fields that made history 
in Page County, Iowa. It also shows the 
men who worked in harvesting this field. 
The man on the right in the corn field is 
Harry Stout of Clarinda who owns_and 
works the farm producing this crop. _ Harry 
is mighty proud of the job he did with the 
813. 




190.36 Bu. Per Acre on One Test 
in test plantings we have the following reports on ‘“‘wit- 
nessed” yields. 190.36 bu. per acre at 15% moisture, An- 
drew K. Hovden, Decorah, Iowa; 146.57 bu..U. S. Newcom- 
ber, Auburn, Indiana; 146.57 bu. from Green City, Iowa, 
137.28 bu., Calmar, Iowa; 131,64 bu., Lakewood, Illinois. 
These records of yields indicate the wide adaptability of 
Berry’s 813 and show the enormous capacity of this variety 
to yield. It is far the best for main erop, 
A Wonderful Pedigree 
Berry's 813 has everything that U. S. 13 ever had plus a 
lot more. Extra later pollinating Inbreds have been incor- 
porated. Our purpose is te provide additional pollen to 
assure fertilization of the ears in event the main pollen ero» 
shall be burned by excessively high temperatures, 
Thus there is provided an extra assurance of better filled 
ears. This also has a tendency to lengthen the ears and it 
appears to reduce ear droppage, 




You occasionally hear of 150 bushel 
yields but they are .on fields that are heavily fertilized and not handled like 
average corn crops. Harry didn’t use a pound of fertilizer. He planted it a little 
thicker than normal but he got extra big ears. The man on the picker said it was 
almost like picking cordwood. Harry had 77 acres in the field, it was all good. 
He had a section of the field measured accurately, and weighed the corn carefully. 
He got 450 bu. and 50 Ibs. of Berry’s 813 from exactly 2.95 acres. 3 
If you think we’re bragging you should listen to Harry tell about it. After 
all it’s the man who grows it who should be satisfied. That man is you. If you 
live where you can grow U.S. 13 or any 115 to 120 day Hybrid by all means 
grow some Berry’s 813 and see what it will do. Compare it with any other you 
can buy at any price. You'll find you have something sensational] in this variety. 
“My Friends Thanked Me” : . 
Dear Friends: I have been doing you a lot of good in regard to your seed 
corn and can truthfully say that I enjoyed it very much when farmers came to

CBee eee A few days ago I sent an order for 10 bushels of Berry's No, 813 
Hybrid and_10 bushels of your No. 800 Hybrid corn to Berry Seed Company at 
Clarinda. I had Berry’s 813 this year and it was the best ever, making 90 bu. 
(no irrigation). Have used in the last 3 years quite a number of noted numbers, 
and 813 was really a knockout. Planted and tended in the same manner as 
‘ other numbers were tended. W. L. Otto, Ulysses, Nebr.
