1. On the map at the 
left, find the area 
in which the farm 
is located and note 
the maturity groups 
(letters) adapted to 
the area. 
2. Select the maturity 
group (letters), or 
groups, best suited 
to the farm needs. 
On the map, the 
first letter in each 
set of 3 or 4 rep- 
resents hybrids 
adapted in maturity 
to average upland 
soils. The latest hy- 
brids recommended, 
represented by the 
last letter in each 
set, are adapted only 
for early planting on 
highly productive 
soils. Others are 
correspondingly in- 
termediate. 
38. When the _ proper 
maturity group or 
groups have been 
selected, refer be- 
low for hybrids in 
these groups.

® Official (not indi- 
vidual) Ohio tests 
prove Ohio Hybrids 
yield more and per- 
form better in the 
same plots than do 
other higher priced 
Hybrids. Why pay 
more when official 
proof definitely shows 
you get less for your 
money? Plant only 
Ohio Hybrids.

SEMESAN JR. FOR FIELD, SWEET AND POP CORN 
New Improved Semesan Jr. should help to give you better stands. It generally protects the seed from decaying 
and the seedlings from blights and root rots caused by such fungi as Diplodia and Gibberella. In most of the 
Iowa and Illinois tests reported use of Semesan Jr. treatment of the seed increased the stand over untreated 
seed by 5 to 15%. 
Use 1% oz. per bushel of seed thus costing only around 2c per acre. Price {'/5-0z. packet {5c; 12-oz. can 75c. 
HYBRID SEED CORN GUARANTEE 
We guarantee to the first buyer that the Hybrid seed, to which the certified tag is attached, is part of the 
lot of seed actually inspected in the crossing plot and in storage by representatives of the Ohio Seed Im- 
provement Association and found by them to conform to the published standards of the Association for 
Certified Commercial Hybrid Seed Corn. We also guarantee this seed to conform to the per cent germination 
required, provided the seed is received intact in the original package and claim is made within 20 days of 
receipt. Since conditions beyond the producer’s control affect germination and growth in the field, no guaran- 
tee, expressed or implied, is made concerning the quantity or condition of the crop grown from this seed, 
Our liability in all instances is limited to the purchase price of the seed. 
Open Pollinated Seed Corn 
There is still a heavy demand for good open varieties. We have selected two kinds that have been 
most satisfactory and for which there has been the greatest demand. “Blue Clarage,” an early kind with high 
sugar content and with grains of soft texture for early hogging down and for general crop a heavy yielder. 
“Scarff’s Cash.”’ This has been our most popular variety over a long period of time. It is medium early, has 
deep soft kernels. Yields better for us than the old kinds. Woodburn or Clarage. We recommend this to you. 
Price for either “Blue Clarage” or “Cash,” per bu. $5.00; Yo bu. $3.00.
