After Year 
For the time being, at least, the Funk G Hybrids recommended for this area have been stabilized at last year’s level. This is a 
decided advantage, for it is somewhat confusing to have to make one’s selection from a large list, and it is more difficult for the dealer 
to maintain an adequate assortment and ample supplies. Other big closed-formula producers are gradually reducing their lists. 
As was pointed out here last year, all of the following numbers are either recently developed or improved Hybrids and are superior 
to the Funk G numbers that were so popular in former years. The Funk G line of Hybrids ranks with the very best Corns that have 
been produced. 
14-Year Record Through Virginia 
FUNK G-98 | FUNK G-136 
G-98 is one of the recent developments. It is a consistently high- 
yielding Corn. One of the blood lines was selected from the most 
worthy strain of the famous old Lancaster County Sure Crop, which 
accounts in part for the unusual length of the ear. Starts off fast in 
spring and keeps on going. Possesses extra resistance to blight. 
One of the two newcomers to our list. While not yielding quite as 
high as G-99 on tests, it has many advantages over other Corns. 
Specifically it outranks both G-135 and G-145, both of which have 
long been popular. Produces a beautiful ear of bright yellow kernels. 
These ears are placed lower—a much desired advantage. Enjoys a

yielder and a general-use Corn of startling ability. It also contains 
one blood line from the famous old Lancaster Co. Sure Crop, giving Re Re . Ss 
it too a very long ear of rich yellow kernels. Has lately been improved FUNK G-705 
in respect to even better standing ability, more freedom from stalk a 
faults and greater resistance to blight.

We ‘got off on the wrong foot’’ last year in calling this Hybrid a 
white Corn. We should have remembered that all Funk G white 
numbers include the letter ““‘W.” Funk’s G-705 is almost too late for 
general use in the Valley and higher altitudes. It should be confined 
to silage use, as it is a very high producer of foliage and grain that 
puts extra heavy tonnage of rich, leafy ensilage in the silo with a high 
grain content in relation to total green weight. Produces big, long, 
golden yellow ears. Noted for ability to come through under adverse 
growing conditions.
