15-Yeatr Record Through Virginia 
FUNK G-91 
Introduced this year in response to the urgent demand of Virginia 
farmers for a high-yielding, good-quality early Funk G Hybrid. Will 
reach complete maturity in 100 to 105 days and is known as a “‘hard 
little fighter’ under adverse conditions. Ears are big and long, placed 
low on short stalks, making it ideal for either mechanical or hand 
picking. Adapted to a wide range of soils. 
FUNK G-98 
As indicated here last year, this is a recent development but has 
already become a favorite of thousands of Virginia farmers. Produces 
one large, long ear of uniform thickness from butt to tip. Contains 
the famous inbred 67 from Lancaster County Sure Crop. Excellent 
stalk qualities that permit it to stand up when many others fall under 
insect and disease attacks. Recommended for medium to higher 
fertility soils. 
FUNK G-99 
Also a comparatively recent development that contains the inbred 
67 from Lancaster County Sure Crop. The Funk representative for 
this area claims it has received more praise than any Corn they dis- 
tribute. Has been a top yielder in tests conducted in the Valley. Does 
an excellent job on soils of low fertility but, of course, will do better 
on soils of higher fertility. Produces one very long ear per stalk and 
requires 110 to 115 days for full maturity.

FUNK G-134A 
A brand-new hybrid, yet already a proved producer. Starts off 
very fast in spring and keeps right on growing. Produces lots of dark 
green foliage, giving it eye appeal during growing season. WHars 
exceptionally long and covered well on tips with husks. Has outstand- 
ing ability to stand up under severe insect attacks and windstorms. 
Best adapted to soils of medium to higher fertility. Requires about 
120 days for full maturity and resists corn-borers. 
FUNK G-136 
Represented to us as the most-asked-for of the Funk hybrids. 
Supplies have never met the demand for this Corn. Said to combine 
more outstanding qualities than any other. Beautiful bright yellow 
ears placed low on short stalks. Some farmers regard it as being 
“tailor made’”’ for mechanical picking. Has a vast root system, giving 
it unusual standing ability. Does well on soil of low fertility but 
better on rich land. 
FUNK G-704 
An outstanding late variety of yellow Corn, recommended for late 
harvest or ensilage. Requires about 125 days for full maturity but 
can be harvested earlier for the silo. Is also a high-yielding Corn, as 
late varieties go, and consequently provides high-quality ensilage. 
Ears hang downward, thus preventing water from lodging inside the 
husk. Has unusual standing ability, which is especially desirable in a 
late Corn.
