SHENANDOAH VALLEY’S 
MODERN SEED HOUSE 
—_- Adapted Seed Corn Hybrids 
U.S. 13 
Still by long odds the largest-sell- 
ing open formula (in contrast with 
closed formula of DeKalb and Funk 
G) Hybrid Corn. That ought to be 
ample evidence of its virtues. Further 
proof of its merit is supplied in the 
box on this page indicating that it 
won third place in Ruritan Club 
contest. Never necessarily a top 
yielder but always a good all-round 
hybrid, which accounts for its per- 
sistent popularity. Medium maturity, 
with medium fodder and ear. Adapted 
to a wide range of soils.

120 to 125 days. Large-foddered hybrid 
hence requires longer time for full maturity.

can be harvested in time for an early fall crop, 
and when planted late, even in middle or late 
June, it will usually mature before frost.
