The Reason for Making Blends 
Most Hybrid Corn varieties have a shorter pol- 
linating period than the old open pollinated corn. 
The old open pollinated corn was a mixture of 
many varieties. In making Hybrid Corn, inbreed- 
ing eliminated these varieties so that the inbred 
was a single pure line of corn. In making a Hy- 
brid, four of these inbreds are combined. How- 
ever, the pollinating period of such a Hybrid is 
shorter. In event that hot weather hits when it 
is pollinating, a lot of the pollen will be killed 
which will result in poorly filled ears. The silk on 
the ears will remain receptive to pollen for quite a 
long period of time. Therefore, by prolonging the 
pollinating period we get greater assurance of well 
filled ears. Even though hot weather should kill the 
pollen off of one strain, there is always the other one 
to still come along with pollen a few days later to 
fertilize the ears. Thus by using two or three varieties 
of Hybrids that mature about at the same time, and 
yet have slightly different pollinating dates, we pro- 
jong the pollinating period. 
Low Seed Cost—Big Yields 
Berry’s Hi-Yield Blends are made 
from the varieties that are listed in Round 
this catalog. We make our prices 2 
low as an added inducement to get Kernels 
you started in trying these Blends. 
The cost is less than half that many 
companies are asking for seed corn 
and we have priced it drastically be- 
low our regular prices.

Why Berry Hybrids 
Produce Extra Profits 
It takes a combination of dif- 
ferent things to make better hy- 
brids and to enable them to give 
their best performance. The 
most vital factor is the blood 
transmitted 
through the inbreds. We give 
you the breeding that gives you 
a maximum of the finest quali- 
ties you look for in your seed 
corn. But even the best blood 
line will not do their best if they 
are not thoroughly pure in the 
field. They must also be crossed 
with the greatest care, both in 
the single and the double cross. 
In all stages of handling they 
must be handled with care or

sults in the field.

Hybrid for one so early in maiden one 
is. earlier than 625 and just a little 
later. than.405. «It is more widely 
adapted than any other variety in this 
class. Early maturity adapts it to a 
wide range of climates. Farmers in 
northern and north central Iowa, and 
from Nebraska on east to Illinois In- 
diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Vir- 
ginia, ete., will find this an excellent 
main crop variety. Farmers to the south 
of this area consider it one of the finest 
corns they can plant to get some early 
feeding corn, or where necessity com- 
pels late planting. Also in some areas 
its early Maturity helps it escape hot 
dry Weather, We had one field near 
Clarinda that made dry corn of a yield 
of 110 bushels to the acre. It is some- 
what similar to 939 but it makes a 
heer, better formed ear, holds its ears 
ped and has superior h usking quali-

all around purpose corn you will find 
this hard to equal. The 625 is supe-

many customers have. One says, “It was the best corn 
I ever grew.” ‘None of the high priced Hybrids ex- 
eels your Blends.” “Your Hybrid Blend was the best 
corn in the community.” “I want more of your Hy- 
brid Blends. They are as good as any.” “I sure got 
some great corn from your Hybrid Blend in a rather 
poor summer at that.” Another writes, “I filled a 120 
ton silo from 6% acres.” 
Guaranteed Quality—Two Grades of Flats 
We make up our Blends in three grades, the Thick Flat 
grade, this is made up of kernels that are too thick to 
make the Regular Flat grade but too long to be classified 
as Round. This type of corn makes a very strong, vigor- 
ous plant. Then we have a Small Flat grade which is 
more like the Regular Flat only shorter. It will produce 
as fine a corn as any and a bushel will plant more acres 
than any other grade. All of these are graded to plant 
accurately. 
Round Grade 
This is made up of the regular round kernels. Seed of 
this kind often produces more vigorous plants and there- 
for better yields. It is graded for accurate planting and 
you can make big savings. 
Two Blends 
110 Day. This is what we call our 
Medium maturing Blend. It may vary 
from 100 to 110 days. The later 120 
day Blend is about ten days later in 
maturing. Will mature in 110 to 120 
days. Both are excellent. Please specify 
which Blend you want and whether 
Round, Thick Flat or 
Small Flat. Prices are

Splendid Yields—Well Satisfied 
Dear Sir: Harrod, Ohio. 
I am writing just a few lines to let you know how satisfied 
I was with your seed. I had a splendid yield this year. 
Yours truly, Vernon §S. Eley.
