50 and 60 Series sections. 
U30 Matures 104 to 108 days. De- 
spite its earliness, you.can’t 
beat U30 for a heavy yield. It has 
made over 100 bu. per’ acre and 
some 120 bu. per acre reports have 
been received. U30 has a very stiff

Kernels deep, cob small. Ears about 
2% ft. from ground.

kernel with small cob and noted 
everywhere for its standability— 
despite high winds. Bars of beauti-

heavily in the 50 and 60 Series

Above are actual photographs of the yellow corns described below. United’s hybrids of the 
20 and 30 Series are some of the very few TRULY GOOD NORTHERN HYBRIDS. These 
extra-early hybrids are grown on acreage contracted in Minnesota and South Dakota and 
dried in northern plants. They are adapted to northern conditions and will withstand the 
rigorous weather conditions and early spring cold which are often too much for unadapted 
hybrids, Other United numbers are likewise grown in areas which make them adapted to the 
growing conditions where we recommend planting them.

UNITED’S WHITE HYBRIDS 
United is one of the very few producers that 
has developed good white hybrids. Whites often 
bring up to $1.00 per bushel premium over yel- 
lows and you certainly should grow some if you 
live where you can market it. 
U3 THE SILVER KING TYPE. For 30 Zone. 
This is the early white hybrid with large 
ears and extremely high shelling percentage. 
One of the few good white hybrids for this 
maturity zone. 
U4 YIELDS WITH YELLOW. For 40 and 50 
Zone. Large eared of the Silver King type. 
Good standability, high shelling percentage, 
heavy yields. 
U6 LARGE EARED LATE WHITE. For 50 and 
60 Zone. Late enough for southern cornhelt. 
From southern strains. Very large ears and 
stalks, heavy yield. Also good fodder corn for 
far north. 
State Numbers If You Want Them 
We believe United Hybrids are far ahead of 
any state numbers, and are a better buy, but if 
you want State Numbers, we have them. Prices 
in regular price list at the left. 
IOWA .306. Matures 110 to 115 days.

Open Pollinated from Pure Seed 
Gurney’s open pollinated varieties are all 
grown from pure seed which we furnish to the 
grower.. Most concerns do not furnish seed for 
their growers and therefore have no control 
over the purity of the seed. If you want open 
pollinated seed corn, it will pay you to buy 
Gurney's.
