HYBRID CORN 
IS TREATED 
WITH CERESAN 
Plant Hybrid Corn 
TESTED 
AND 
TAGGED 
The worth of Hybrid Corn has been proven to such an extent that hybrids are being planted in 
greater amounts each year and in many sections have supplanted and eclipsed the open-pollinated 
varieties. Hybrid corn produces larger yields of both grain and fodder. 
Their growth and maturity is 
uniform. They are resistant to lodging due to greater strength in both root and stalks. They are de- 
cidedly more resistant to smut and root, stalk and ear-rot diseases. 
No hybrids have been developed 
that are recommended for dry-land planting, yet hybrids with their immense root system do withstand 
extreme drought and intensive heat remarkably well. 
Hybrid corn is packed in branded bushel bags. 
Prices per bushel (Subject to change) f.o.b. Denver: Pride Hybrids, $12.50; Gold Seal Hybrids, $11.00. 
PRIDE BRAND HYBRIDS 
are closed formula produc- 
tions developed by expert 
plant breeders and their value 
has been proven by several 
years of rigid tests in field 
HYBRID trials. The entire production 
SEED operation is rigidly super- 
vised. Seed is processed,

bagged and sealed by the 
breeder. 
PRIDE B3—(80-89 day). This early yellow hybrid 
averages about 5 days earlier than the B17. 
It has ability to start fast in cold soil and hustles 
right through the season. It develops good sized 
ears at convenient height on strong shanks of 
medium length. Normal height 6% to 7 feet. 
PRIDE B17—(90-97 day). This all-yellow Hybrid 
Corn is 5 to 7 days earlier than Standard strains 
of Minnesota 13. It is recommended for the 
higher altitudes in northern Colorado and Wy- 
oming and for late planting in more favored 
sections. Very uniform in appearance, stiff stalked 
with deep disease-resistant root system. 
PRIDE B23—(93-97 day). Closely resembles B17, 
matures two days later. Starts and grows fast. 
Has dark, heavy foliage, stiff stalk, medium short 
shank, ears quite erect, deep roots. Normal plant 
height about 8 feet. 
PRIDE D54—(107-111 day). This new hybrid re- 
places Tru-Krost Wis. 570. It is highly adapted 
to varying conditions of season, soil and moisture. 
The stalk and root system is very resistant to 
disease and drouth. Very few hybrids in its 
maturity class are equal in lodging resistance 
and stalk breakage. Ears are medium length and 
attached to the stalk at convenient height on 
strong, medium long shanks. The grain is un- 
usually deep and closely packed on a small, 
fast drying cob and has good feed value. 
PRIDE D6é6—(112-116 day). This is an outstanding 
new full-season hybrid that is unusually 
fast starting in cold, wet soil. Has aston- 
ishing resistance to drouth, disease and 
lodging. Has a large, rugged root system 
and shows capability to withstand 
weather extremes. It has unusually wide 
adaptability. Ears are long on strong, 
medium length shanks mounted at uni- 
form convenient height. 


GOLD SEAL HYBRIDS 
This corn is grown and 
processed for us by a Regis- 
tered Colorado Pure Seed 
Grower from open _ hybrid 
formulas, and supervised by 
Colorado State authorities. 
Each bushel bag bears the 
official, registered blue tag. 
COLORADO 125 (WIS. 455}—(100 day). Colorado's 
earliest maturing hybrid corn. It is about seven 
days earlier than Minnesota 13, and is adapted 
for northern Colorado irrigated land, 5,000 feet 
elevation, with comparatively short corn growing 
season. 
COLORADO 151—(WIS. 570)—{110 day). This is a 
dual-purpose hybrid originally developed by the 
Wisconsin Experiment Station. It is capable of 
producing high yields of fodder and grain. It 
produces showy ears, well filled to the tip 
with dented yellow kernels. Stalks are strong 
and wind-resistant. A valuable replacement for 
Reid's Yellow Dent. 
COLORADO 152—(WIS. 3080) is about the same 
maturity and adaptability as Colorado 151, but 
shows a higher grain yield and leafier stock. 
Matures in 110 to 115 days. 
COLORADO 175—(WIS. 625)—(115 day). This va- 
riety produces a heavy tonnage of fodder that 
stays partially green even when the corn is 
fully mature. Deep kernels, small cobs, not 
flinty and easy for livestock to digest. Has stand- 
ing ability superior to most hybrids. Ears stand 
at right height and the husks are loose. 
COLORADO 176—{WIS. 645)—(115 day). This va- 
riety is similar to Colorado 175 but yields more 
grain and less forage. It is adapted to areas 
growing a later hybrid than 151. 
COLORADO 220—(WIS. 696)—(120 day). Adapted 
to the lower Platte Valley and similar regions 
in the upper Arkansas Valley and on the Western 
Slope. It matures with the earlier selections of 
Reid’s Yellow Dent which variety it replaces for 
late silage. 
FORMER CORN FAVORITES 
Improved Leaming and Iowa Goldmine, 
yellow dent varieties well suited for ensil- 
age and silage corn, are out of production 
as growers prefer to grow Hybrids. Pride 
Hybrids D54 and D66; Colorado 175 and 
Colorado 220 have shown good perform- 
_ ance and replace well the open pollinated 
ensilage varieties of corn.
