Consider this the same as a man who carries insur- 
ance—for the protection he gets! The insurance 
policy he receives covers the details. 
Here's a “Policy” for the benefit of corn growers. 
Its protection is cost free to them. It assures the 
success of their corn crops. 
There is no other such policy by other seed-corn 
agencies. This Hoffman-Funk policy has been at 
work 13 years. Covers all vital corn details thor- 
oughly, each year, in each corn area of the Northeast. 
Benefits this policy has paid thousands of corn 
growers have been tremendous. You may as well 
get them, too—this year. They are automatic when 
you plant Hoffman-recommended Funk G. You get: 
Balanced Breeding—Plus Real PROVING 
Funk G progress grew upon the quality of its breed- 
ing and its REAL-research program. It never stops. 
Here is proving that COUNTS! Hoffman patrons 
get this great benefit. Every year results in a new 
volume of important hand-gathered records. Col- 
lected by earnest trained men. In each corn area. 
New bloodlines are closely observed alongside pres- 
ent hybrids (including competing brands). Closely 
watched past early growth, their behavior is checked 
all through the season. Harvest weights recorded. 
Moisture content measured. Information, the true 
facts, gotten this way, really count! It is TRUE 
research, not just using a good word too often adver- 
tised misleadingly. Note these benefits you gain 
planting Funk G seed: 
Root Foundations Are Right 
For 80 years, Funk men have worked on corn-root 
problems. There was as much to learn about corn 
under the ground as above. Much of today’s Funk G 
success resulted from the outstanding root struc- 
_tures developed. 
You Have More Leaf Surface 
to Manufacture More Corn 
The greater the leafiness, the more grain manufac- 
turing takes place all the time. One definite effort 
in Funk G breeding is to put more square inches of 
leaf surface to work on each plant.
