WII PLANTING THAT OFTEN OUTYIELDS EVERY OTHE 
BERRYS HYBRID BLENDS 
many customers have. One says, “It was the best corn 
I ever grew.” ‘‘None of the high priced Hybrids ex- 
cels your Blends.” “Your Hybrid Blend was the best 
corn in the community.” “I want more of your Hy- 
brid Blends. They are as good as any.” “I sure got 
some great corn from your Hybrid Blend in a rather 
poor summer at that.” Another writes, “I filled a 120 
ton silo from 6% acres.” 3 
Guaranteed Quality—Thick, Flat Grade 
We make up these Blends in two grades only. The 
Thick Flat grade are kernels that are too thick to make 
regular Flat grade, Although they have about the same 
length, they cannot. be classified as Round, therefore we 
use this term Thick Flat. In our opinion this produces 
the sturdiest, most vigorous kind of plant. It is graded 
to plant accurately when proper plates are used. 
Round Grade 
-This is made up of the regular round kernels. Seed of 
this kind often produces more vigorous plants and there- 
for better yields. It is graded for accurate planting and 
you can make big savings. 








































The Reason for Making Blends 
Most Hybrid Corn varieties have a shorter pol- 
linating period than the old open pollinated corn. 
The old open pollinated corn was:a mixture of 
many varities. In making Hybrid Corn, inbreed-. 
ing eliminated these varieties so that the inbred 
was a single pure line of corn. In making a Hy- 
brid, four of these inbreds are combined. How- 
ever, the pollinating period of such a Hybrid is 
shorter. In event that hot weather hits when it 
is pollinating, a lot of the pollen will be killed 
which will result in poorly filled ears. The silk on 
the ears will remain receptive to pollen for quite a 
long period of time. Therefore, by prolonging the 
pollinating period we get greater assurance of well 
filled ears. Even though hot weather should kill the 
pollen off of one strain,.there is always the other one 
to still come along with pollen a few days later to 
fertilize the ears. Thus by using two or three varieties 
of Hybrids that mature about at the same time, and 
yet have slightly different pollinating dates, we pro- 
long the pollinating period. 
Low Seed Cost—Big Yields 
Berry’s Hi-Yield Blends are made 
from the varieties that are listed in 
Two Blends 
this catalog. We make our prices Round Meade acatine Blend gees 
low as an added inducement to get Kernels from 100 to 110 days. The later 120 
day Blend is about ten days later in 
maturing. Will mature in 110 to 120 
days. Both are excellent. Please specify 
which Blend you want and whether 
Round or in Thick Flat. 
Prices are shown here- 
with. 
companies are asking for seed corn 
and we have priced it drastically be- 
low our regular prices. 
We believe that you 
will report, as a good 
you started in trying these Blends. 
The cost is less than, half that many ‘Ald

pow Sir: 
| am writing just a few lines to let you know how 
onlighed I was with your seed. I had a splendid yield 
is year. 


Dear Sirs: 
I have bought Berry’s Seeds for several years, and find 
them to be of high quality and good germination. They 
have been very satisfactory.
