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 
Three 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 
changes. In Iowa, very strong winds caused a lot of damage resulting in a tre- 
mendous amount of ear droppage. You should have seen how these new varieties 
stood this severe test. Not only 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 cam get corn that is better than the 
best you have been growing, I know you want it. The best way to 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.

little shorter than the average in this maturity class. That’s what lots of farmers are 
looking for. They stand up exceptionally well. It has a very strong ear shank so that 
the ears hang on unusually good. That’s a big advantage where there is a lot of corn- 
borer damage or when strong winds hit the field when the crop is mature. More im- 
portant is its heavy yield, the depth of grain and the fine feeding quality of the corn. 
It has about the same maturity as our 813.

110-Day Variet This variety gives excellent results under a wider range of soils and 
: y climatic conditions than any other Hybrid we know about. It is a little 
earlier than 825, but still is adapted as a top-yielding corn in the 120-day area. This corn can be 
grown from southern to north central Iowa and similar areas across the nation. In Missouri and 
other areas, farmers wanting a corn for early maturity or later planting will like 625. 
Stands Wind and Weather Damage 
Farmers living in Iowa can well recall the strong winds that occurred 3 years ago just as 
corn was maturing. The result was disastrous. Entire fields 
in many instances were leveled. Ear droppage was terrific. 
But, this was the year that Berry’s 625 was introduced. 
Farmers who planted this number were amazed how it could withstand these strong

Furthermore, the corn can be grown with good results on almost any type of soil. It’s a fine $8.25 Bu.

percentage is excellent. 
90 to 95-Day Type 
This Is the Earliest of Our "25" Series 
It is adapted to northern Iowa, southern Minnesota, and Wisconsin, 
eastern South Dakota, northern Illinois, and all areas having similar 
climatic conditions. It makes a great main crop variety in this area 
and a fine corn for late planting or early feeding corn in sections 
farther south. It is about 5 days earlier than our 405. 
This is the earliest variety we Peave and we do not know of any- 
thing in its class to surpass it. The plants are very strong and sturdy. 
They have a broad leaf and. make a vigorous growth. This sturdy vigor helps the crop 
overcome unfavorable conditions. For example we had a field growing in an area that 
was very seriously hit by drought. We did not expect much of a :
