In Ordering Be Sure to Specify 405-SP 
Our 405 is always in big demand because of its consist- 
ently superior performance and also because it is early. 
The past few years there is an increasing demand for early 
hybrids. This special grade of 405 is the small flat, how- 
ever these smaller sized kernels are capable of producing 
the same vigorous growing plants as the larger kernels. We 
have drastically reduced the price on this special offer. 
You practice double economy when you order this value— 
not only do you get the advantage of saving $4 to $5 a 
bushel, but yow can plant more acres per bushel. because of 
the smaller sized kernel. 405SP is a uniform grade, high in 
germination and carries the same identical inbred lines as 
our regular grades. Our supply is quite limited on this out- 
standing offer.

BRAND 
The increasing popularity of Berry’s Famous Hybrid blends is 
justly deserved. Many of our customers report that our blends 
have given the best yields of any corn they have ever planted. 
We are able to extend the pollination period by blending three or 
more hybrids of different maturity classes. This longer pollina- 
tion period often results in larger, better filled ears particularly 
during hot, dry weather. One of our customers told us that the 
Hybrid blend seed corn purchased from us last year actually out 
yielded another variety of corn which cost him over twice as 
much. by 15 bushels per acre! Our blends are excellent for silage, 
too, because of the vigorous growth. 
These blends are available in 4 different grades: Regular Flat, Smal] 
Flat, Thick Flat, and Regular Rounds. The Small Flat, Thick Flat and 
Rounds may be obtained in both the medium (100-110 days) and late (110- 
120 days) maturing blends, while the regular flat is offered in one ma- 
turity range (105-120 days). The Regular Flat is carefully and uniformly 
graded blend of average size kernels. The Small Flats have the width and 
thickness of the Regular Flats, but are somewhat shorter grained. The

We add a root growth stimulator which is de- ‘

insures a faster growing plant. That is of im-

This year in preparing our seed grades, we made 
finer grade separations than we ever had before. 
In producing these extra fine grades, we obtained 
in our earlier varieties a grade that ran somewhat 
smaller kernels than the average. This is all very 
sound seed stock of high germination and it has 
the same characteristics that you will find in all of 
_the regular grades which sell from $10.75 to. $11.50 
per bushel. They'll produce exactly the same kind 
of corn and the same kinds of yields. The average 
of this corn should plant about a bushel to ten 
acres. We plant much smaller seed than this when 
we plant our seed fields to Hybrid Corn so we 
know what seed of this kind can do. Dealers might 
leave this corn in their regular grades and get much 
higher prices for it. This is your opportunity, See 
page 9 of our general catalog for description of 
these three varieties and in ordering specify special 
size and then the variety, either 405-ES, 615B2ES, 
or 425-ES. It is all the same price as long as it 
lasts and it’s all Gro-Coated of course.
