A HYBRID PLANTING THAT OFTEN OUTYIELDS EVERY OTHER 
BERRY S HYBRID BLENDS 
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 
34 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. 
Low Seed Cost——Big Yields 
Berry’s Hi-Yield Blends are made 
from the varieties that are listed in 
this catalog. We make our prices low 
as an added inducement to get you 
started in trying these Blends. The 
cost is less than half that many com- 
panies are asking for seed corn and 
~ we have priced it dras- 
tically below our regu- 
lar prices. We believe 
mate make j 
able variety 
Most any ‘far 
thoroughly rely 
that you will report, as a good many customers have. 
One says, “It was the best corn I ever grew.” ‘None of 
the high priced Hybrids excels your blends.” ‘‘Your 
Hybrid Blends was the best corn in the community.” 
“IT want more of your Hybrid Blends. They are as good 
as any.” “I sure got some great corn from your Hybrid 
Blends in a rather poor summer at that.” Another 
writes, “I filled a 120 ton silo from 6% acres.” 
Four Grades of Blends—3 Maturity Ranges 
Regular Flat, $7.50 bu. 
This grade is the very best in size of grain. It has a 
little wider range of maturity than the other 3 grades. 
Regular Flat comes only in one maturity range 105 to 120 
day. This gives a maximum length of pollinating period. 
This lot may contain an occasional off color kernek but 
will plant with a high degree of accuracy. You can buy 
this at a very deep cut price and a trial of it will prove its 
great value. Price Regular Flat, $7.50 Bu. 
Cther Grades of Blends 
We have three other grades of blends. 
Round which is fine accurately graded seed. 
Thick Flat is made up of kernels too 
long for round and too thick for regular 
flat. Produces strong plants. 
Small Flat graded as carefully as 
Regular Flat but consists of shorter ker- 
nels. This plants more acres per bushel. 
_. The three grades mentioned above 
come in two maturity ranges, Medium is 
100 to 110 days; Late 110 to 120 days. 
Please specify which kind of kernel grade 
you want and whether you want Medium 
or Late maturity. See price blocks for 
quotations.
