You've Never Grown a Hybrid Like... 
The miracle of progress towards better Hybrids never stops in the Berry Organ- 
ization. On pages 8 and 9 of this book there are Hybrids that we have had for a 
number of years. There are two of the old varieties. The others are improvements 
over the old and they are good. They are outstanding. We expect to produce them 
for many years to come, for reports indicate they are far ahead of most varieties 
on the market. 
THE "25" SERIES ARE A FURTHER ADVANCEMENT 
Two years ago we offered these new varieties for the first time in a limited way. 
They were distributed over a wide area so as to get a big range of soil and seasonal 
changés. In Iowa; very: strong winds caused a lot of. damage resulting in a tre- 
mendouws amount of ear droppage,,) You should have seen how these new varieties 
stood this severe test. Not omy did they hold their ears better, but they produced 
the best yields of high quality corn we have seen so far. 
You should, by all means, grow some of this 25 Series. If you can get corn that is better than the 
best you hav@,been growing, I know you want it. The best way t@''prove that. is: to 
actually grow it. side by side. We are staking our reputation as Hybrid seed corn 
producers on the:fact that over an average of 3 years or more these varieties, will 
prove the most satisfactory and best money-making corn you can grow.

the ears hang on unusually good. That’s a:big advantage where there is a lot of corn-

It has about the same maturity as our 813.
