“AMERICAN’S 813 
112 TO 118 DAYS 
‘A GREAT FULL SEASON HYBRID 
Here is a Hybrid Corn that is different. Like U.S. 
starchy kernels. Other great features are its drought 
resistance, a longer pollination period, and less ear 
droppage. We think it is a little superior, because it has 
the four inbreds of U. S. 13 and a fifth inbred added. 
Every practical farmer will appreciate the advantage of 
this fifth inbred that contributes added drought resistance 
and deeper color. In some years excessive drought and 
heat may kill much of the pollen. This added inbred 
with a later pollinating line has pollen available for 
fertilizing, even though the early pollen burned. 
This makes American’s 813 a safer Corn to plant. 
We consider it a tonggielder.

proved features. In fact, it is made 
up of three of the same inbreds that go into Iowa 
939, However, one is different, making it a longer 
and better shaped ear. Has nice yellow golden 
color, but sides of grains have a slight reddish 
cast. , Not hard and flinty like some Hybrids. Is 
a fine feeding Corn. Has strong stalks. Ears hold 
good position and are easy to husk. On account 
of high yielding ability of American’s 615 you will 
come back and buy it every year. Suitable central 
part. of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and pretty well 
towards the northern part of these States and in 
same latitude of other States. It’s a fairly early 
maturing Corn and is adapted for a wide range of 
territory. Grow American’s 615 this year and 
show your neighbors some real Hybrid Corn,

ferent names and numbers. Cer- 
tainly there is reason for the immense popular- 
ity of a hybrid number that has been offered for 
so many years. The reason is quite simple. It 
has consistently produced higher yields over a 
greater area than any other Corn. It is widely 
adapted to both soil types and weather condi- 
tions. During years when drouth conditions were 
prevalent, U. S. 13 was about the only hybrid 
that withstood the dry weather. The shelling 
percentage is high; it responds well to fertiliza- 
tion programs yet will out-yield most other 
numbers on thin soil; the stalks are strong and 
stand up well for mechanical picking. 
The pedigree of U. S. 13 is the best yet devel- 
oped. Most of the leading full season numbers 
are copied from this pedigree; as a matter of 
fact two or three of these lines are used in prac- 
tically every leading number. Our supply of seed 
this year is the finest quality we have ever seen 
and every bushel is State Certified—your assur- 
ance that the seed is the best obtainable. 
"High Germination at Reasonable Prices”

Good farming demands good seed with high ger-
