All Our Corn Is "GRO-COATED"” 
A Top Quality Hybrid 
One of the best in 120 day class 
This great Hybrid can be grown wherever 
U. S. 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. Italso 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 per- 
centage. 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. You 
want the highest number of pounds of shelled corn in your bins. 
That’s when it counts most. There is a large acreage of this 
variety growing in this country. We have yet to gnd a farmer 
who has not been highly pleased. When grown next to the best 
it proves its real superiority.

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, lowa; 
146.57 bu. U,S. Cewcomber, Auburn, Ind.; 146.57

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 adaptabil- 
ity. 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 Tipton, Okla- 
homa, 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 the ear size is very satisfactory for a corn of 
this maturity. The big feature about 405 of course is its 
tremendous yields, That is where the extra profit bushels

A VERY HEAVY PRODUCING 
EARLY MATURING HYBRID 
come in, 405 grows vigorously in the spring. Corn: that 
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 625. We are providing our trade with varieties of 
different maturity dates so that you can obtain from us 
tically every section and every 
kind of soil. This corn is all care- 
fully graded for accurate plant- 
ing. You will find 405 an out-

This is one of the older Hybrids but still the choice of 
many farmers, especially those having thinner land. It 
jis adapted to a very wide area. It is grown in Iowa from 
the Northern to the Southern border. It is similar to our

is deep yellow with a reddish tinge, °
