One of the best in 120 day class 
This great Hybrid can be grown wher- 
ever U. §. 13 is adapted. We consider it 
superior to that well known number in 
several respects. It is a little earlier which 
is a definite advantage in some years. It 
also makes the variety adapted to a wider 
area. It also holds its ears better. That is 
becoming a more important factor now that 
most corn is picked mechanically and that 
corn borer damage is more widespread. 
This corn has an unusually high shelling 
percentage. The ears are perhaps not quite 
as long as U. S. 13 but when you shell out a 
wagon load of equal size you will have a lot 
more corn out of Berry’s 800. And it’s mighty 
fine feeding corn, too. 
of shelled corn in your bins. 
The Berry’s 813 described in the opposite col- 
umn is similar to this, excepting that we use an 
additional cross on the male side when we pro- 
duce it in our fields. Hither one of these is a 
Hybrid that up to now are among the finest 
available. Our new 825 (page 4) has some extra 
features, but is still in limited supply. For 
maximum results on a wide range of soils you 
will find our 800 a splendid investment. 
This is a Hybrid, widely adapted from Northern Iowa 
where early maturity is required, down to Southern Okla- 
homa where they want a corn to get out of the way of 
hot weather. This gives you an idea as to its wide adapt- 
ability. One of the most prominent farm operators in 
Northern Iowa at Spencer wrote us, “You have the show 
field in this part of the state, you don’t have to take a 
back seat from anybody on this Hybrid.” Down at Tip- 
ton, Olkahoma, a banker had some of his customers try 
out some of Berry’s 405 and he writes, “I am thoroughly 
convinced—you have made a believer out of me. People 
came from miles around to see this corn.” 
405 makes a nice leafy growth, has kernels of good 
depth, and ear size is very satisfactory for a corn of this 
maturity. The big feature about 405 of course is its tre- 
mendous yields. That is where the extra profit bushels 
come in, 405 grows vigorously in the spring, Corn that 
Figures deep grain 120 day Hybrid 
Practically all farmers from Colorado to the Atlantic 
Coast know U.S. 13. It is grown in North Central, South- 
ern Iowa, Northern Missouri, Kansas and all across the 
Nation. The thing we want to emphasize is that all U. S. 
13 corn is not equally good in production. Seed stocks 
from one producer may outyield that 
from another by as much as 15 bu. to 
the acre. Berry’s give you U. S. 13 at 
its best, and such seed is worth dou- 
ble the price that we are asking when

Everything Very Satisfactory 
Gentlemen: Plainfield, Ind. 
The seeds we have bought from you have been sat- 
isfactory in every way. I especially like the fine han- 
dling which you give to my orders. 
Sincerely, Carl E. Meisel.

That’s when it counts most. There 
is a large acreage of this variety growing in this country. We 
have yet to find a farmer who has not been highly pleased. 
When grown next to the best it proves its real superiority.

The Hybrid grown with Exira

Has recorded yields of 159.1 bu. per acre 
This sensational yield was obtained on regu- 
lar farm land without any fertilizer and planted 
at a normal rate. It was grown on the farm of 
Harry Stout near Clarinda. You may hear about 
big yields but most of them are secured on 
“souped-up” or heavily fertilized land and 
planted 50% heavier than normal. This 813 is 
a truly exceptional performer. We have other 
reports of witnessed “yields of 190.36 bu. per 
acre by Andrew K. Hordon of Decorah, Ia.; 
146.57 bu. U. S. Cewcomber, Auburn, Ind.; 146.57 
bu. from Green City, Ia.; 131.64 from Lakewood, 
Til.” That indicated the wide adaptability of 
Berry’s 813.

It is a single eared, deep grained, 
strong stalked Hybrid. Has less ear droppage 
than U. S. 13. It is a vigorous grower. It is re- 
sistant to chinch bugs and disease. It is tolerant 
to corn borer. Byron Rogler of Atlantic, Iowa, 
said it was far superior to other varieties he 
grew in retaining its ears when borer damage 
caused heavy losses. 813 is a fine feeding corn.

EARLY MATURING HYBRID 
gets off to a good start, generally is a jump ahead of the 
average. This 405 has outyielded later maturing varieties 
and some by a big margin. Because it has a tall leafy 
stalk, it can be used to advantage for ensilage or shred- 
ding. We consider it second to none in its maturity class, 
It does well on a wide range of soil. It is not quite as 
early as our new 425, but it is somewhat earlier than the 
615 and the 625. We are providing our trade with vari- 
eties of different maturity dates so that you can obtain 
from us whatever types you need for practically every 
section and every kind of soil. 
This corn is all carefully graded 
for accurate planting When corn 
acreage is reduced you need 
larger yields; and you get it with 
Berry’s superior Hybrids. You 
will find 405 the outstanding one.

This is one of the older Hybrids but still the choice of 
many farmers, especially those having thinner land. It 
is adapted to a very wide area. It is grown in Iowa from 
the Northern to the Southern border. It is similar to our 
615 in maturity. Has a medium rough kernel. The corn 
is deep yellow with a reddish tinge 
on the sides of the grain. A Michigan 
customer reports that it yielded 149 
bushels to the acre. Colorado reports 
132.1 bu., Illinois 107.8. It is good in 
Pennsylvania and sim- 
ilar areas. Berry’s own

ety at its best.

Recorzmends Quality, Value, Service 
Dear Sirs: , Harpster, Ohio 
I have used your seeds exclusively for the past few 
years, and have always found them to be as_adver- 
tised. I would not hesitate to recommend Berry’s
