One says, “It was the best corn I ever grew.” “None of 
the high priced Hybrids excels your blends.” “Your

“T want more of your Hybrid Blends. They are as good 
as any.” “I sure got some great corn from your Hybrid

value. 
The Reason for Making Blends 
Most Hybrid corn varieties have a shorter pol- 
linating period than the old open pollinated corn. 
The old open pollinated corn was a mixture of 
_ many varieties. In making Hybrid Corn, inbreed- 
ing eliminated these varieties so that the inbred 
was a single pure line of corn. In making a Hy- 
brid, four of these inbreds are combined. However, 
the pollinating period of such a Hybrid is shorter. 
In event that hot weather hits when it is pollinat- 
ing, a lot of the pollen will be killed which will 
result in poorly filled ears. The silk on the ears will 
remain receptive to pollen for quite a long period of 
time. Therefore, by prolonging the pollinating period 
we get greater assurance of well filled ears. Even 
though hot weather should kill the pollen off of one 
strain there is always the other one to still come along 
with pollen a few days later to fertilize the ears. Thus. 
by using two or three varieties of Hybrids that mature 
: about the same time, and yet have slightly different 
-- pollinating dates, we prolong the pollinating period.

Guaranteed Quality—Two Grades of Flats 
We make up our Blends in three grades; the Thick Flat 
grade, this is made up of Kernels that are too thick to 
make the Regular Flat grade but too long to be classified 
as Round. This type of corn makes a very strong vigorous 
plant. Then we have a Small Flat grade which is more 
like the Regular Flat only shorter. .It will produce as fine 
a corn as any and a bushel will plant more acres than any 
other grade. All of these are graded to plant accurately. 
Round Grade 
This is made up of the regular round kernels. Seed of 
this kind often produces more vigorous plants and there- 
fore better yields. It is graded for accurate planting and 
you can make big savings.
