ASGROW SEEDS ARE BRED — NOT JUST GROWN 

DEAR CUSTOMER: 
We are greatly indebted to the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station for the work they 
have been doing in running yield tests and assembling other information on Hybrid and 
Open-Pollinated Corn. - 
The crosses used in producing Texas Hybrid Seed’ Corn have been produced under the 
supervision of Texas A&M College and are produced from corns that are most adapted to 
our southern rainfall and growing conditions in general. It has been necessary to produce 
different Texas Hybrids to be used in the different growing areas in Texas, this because 
of the variation in growing conditions. 
It has been the objective of those in charge of production of seed stocks and the growers 
of Hybrid Seed Corn to develop a variety that would be suitable for all parts of the 
Southern Corn Belt. From the information released from the different experiment sta- 
tions over Texas this past growing season, we find that all Texas Hybrids gave wonderful 
results compared to Open-Pollinated and other corns grown out of State. Several Hybrids 
have now been tested for several years and a more accurate prediction of their perform- 
ance is possible. For this period, Texas No. 20 shows a wide range of adaptability and can 
be more generally recommended than other Hybrids, both from the standpoint of its 
performance over several years and because of its outstanding record in 1947. The follow- 
ing is a description of Texas Yellow Hybrid No. 20: 

“A double cross hybrid released in 1946. Similar to No. 18, but more widely 
adapted. Parentage: (KYS x 203) x (127C x 132A). This hybrid has a stiff 
stalk and the leaves are not so brittle as those of No. 18. The long slender 
ear has a tight shuck which covers the tip well. Grain fairly large, soft, and 
bright yellow. Yield compares well with that of Hybrids No. 12 and No. 18.”
