HYBRID POP CORN 
DEVELOPED BY GLENN M. SMITH 
Agricultural Experiment Station, Purdue University 
We are offering two of the outstanding Hybrids developed by Purdue University. Both are very definitely 
superior in every way to open pollinated kinds and we do not hesitate to even “urge” you to plant Hybrid 
seed if you grow pop corn in your garden or commercially. 
PURDUE 38 
We do not believe you can 
equal this Hybrid for the 
commercial grower. The 
quality is much superior 
to open _ pollinated pop 
corn but not quite equal 
to Purdue 31. The yield as 
shown by the table below 
exceeds all other pop corn 
Hybrids we know anything 
about. We popped Purdue 
38 in our home all last 
year. The grains were ab- 
normally large, the flavor 
was wonderful. Price 
below.

This is the pop corn hybrid that is most satisfactory where quality is desired. For 
U DUE 31 the home garden it is wonderful. It pops good sized grains with practically no hull 
and the most delicious flavor. It is earlier maturing than P38 and is an excellent 
yielder. If you have customers or friends wanting the best in pop corn, produce P31. It is a must for your 
garden. Prices for either Purdue 38 or Purdue 31—$1.00 per Ib.; 60c per % Ib.; 35¢ per %4 Ib.; 20 per trial

“HYBRID SEED CORN PRICES 
Our Hybrid Seed Corn Is graded over the most modern machinery for properly sizing corn 
kernels. ALL SEED IS TREATED WITH SPERGON. 
L ARGE FL AT GR AD These are the largest grains on the ear. They 
will in most all cases plant through your regular 
Planter Plates. We take a great deal of care to make this a very uniform grade of seed for the 
most critical growers who want only these large kernels. Price $9.50 per bu. 
MEDI U M FL AT GR ADE These grains are standard and only slightly 
smaller than the large grade described above. 
They are most regular in size and will in practically all cases plant through regular furnished 
Planter Plates. Medium kernels will plant two to three acres more than the large flats. More 
economical and most valuable grains on the ear. Price $9.50 per bu. Medium Flat 
S M ALL FL AT GR AD This is the most economical grade of seed to 
plant. We discard all of the very small grains 
and use only kernels that will, under any soil condition, have plenty of plant food to start the 
young corn plant. These grains are slightly smaller than the medium flats and are graded to 
plant regular and in many cases through your regular plates. This, however, will depend on the 
Hybrid and always plates should be checked very carefully before planting. Price $8.50 per bu. 
TH | CK FL AT GR AD The grains in this grade are considered by many 
growers to carry more vitality than any other 
kernels on the ear. They are of normal length and not over 2/64 inch thicker than the regular 
large flat grains. They do require special plates for your planter and will plant just as regular 
with these special plates as any of the flat grades will plant. It is merely a matter of planter 
plates and we will help you with them. See our Planter Plate Service below. Price $7.00 per bu. 
ROUN D GR Al N These kernels run over the 15/64 inch slot in our graders 
and as the name implies are round in shape. We discard 
the small round kernels then run the larger grains through our graders again into a medium ‘* 
round grade and large round grade. These grains require special Planter Plates and can be 
planted very regular. They are without question the most economical grades to plant and are of Small Flat 
course cheaper. Price $7.00 per bu. 
Scarff’s Planter Plate Service 
We have regular Planters set up in our Seed House and will gladly recommend the proper 
plates for use in the newer type machines, John Deere, McCormick Deering and Black Hawk. 
All of our large and medium flat grades are as nearly as possible graded so they will plant 
through the regular plates furnished with the planter. Do not hesitate to ask about this service. 
The thick flat grains, round grains and small flat grains in most cases require plates other than 
thofe furnished with the planter. Let us help you plant your corn by helping you with proper 
plates.
