You've Never Grown a Hybrid Like... 
Gro-Coated Brand 
The miracle of progress towards better hybrids never stops in the Berry organ- 
ization. There is a constant search for improvement. The old time tested varieties 
are compared with the new. The old can be improved by making slight changes. 
New ones with different blood lines are thoroughly tested. They must show im- 
provement under a variety ofsconditions to be accepted and incorporated into our 
line of hybrids. 
THE 25 SERIES ARE AN ADVANCEMENT 
It’s been five years ago when we first produced these in a limited way. They 
have proven themselves to be distinctly superior. We have tried many others and 
could offer you many more varieties but none to equal 
these. We urge you to grow 
some of these, side by side, 
with the best you have found 
so far. We are confident you 
will find superiority in 
these truly great Hybrids. 
115-129 Day Type When we brought out the 
original 825 we thought we 
had about the best that could be obtained. It was a 
variety that produced a heavy crop on a strong, sturdy 
stalk.- But we are always aiming for greater perfection 
and 825A is one that has several refinements over 825. 
The head of our-corn breeding program considers this 
the best in its maturity class that he has ever developed. 
We have many varieties that we do not even offer to 
our customers, They are good, but in this catalog we 
sell only the best. This 825A has many refinements. 
The grain is the finest we have ever seen. Hars hang on well and husks cover 
the tips well. Good for machine or hand picking.* The shank is strong so it 
resists borer damage. It is adapted to a wide range of soils. Does not have 
to have rich soil. Farmers who have grown it tell of the great interest that 
their neighbors have in it. That’s a splendid recommendation, to be outstanding 
among many good varieties. You won’t go wrong in picking 825A.

H This corn is five days ear- 
A 110 Day Variety jo than the 825 but it is 
still a top yielding hybrid corn, even in the 120 day 
area. This variety can be grown from southern to 
north central Iowa across the nation, wherever sim- 
ilar conditions prevail. To the south of us like 
Missouri and other states farmers who want corn 
for early maturity or later planting will like 625. 
This variety has been giving good,results all the 
years we have had it and this year it has been really 
sensational. Berry’s 625 has stood up under wind 
conditions that have practically levelled neighboring fields. It held its ears 
when there was a lot of droppage in the other varieties. It will stand a lot 
of dry weather. The grains have a good depth, the shelling percentage is 
high. In its maturity class we consider it the very best. Try some of it. 
Gro-Coated Brand—Flat Grade $10.50 bu., Round Grade $7.50. 
This is our earliest variety 
A 90 to 95 Day Type of corn. It is adapted ‘to 
northern Jowa, southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, east- 
ern South Dakota and northern Illinois, and areas 
having similar conditions. It makes a wonderful 
main crop variety in this area. Further south it has 
been highly popular where early feeding corn is 
wanted or when conditions required late planting. 
The plants are strong and sturdy. It has a broad leaf 
and makes a vigorous growth. In dry seasons it has 
always produced more than anticipated. It has been excellent every year 
we have grown it. The strong ear shank prevents ear droppage. This is 
helpful when you have high winds or very dry corn. Enthusiastic reports 
come in even from southern states like Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. 
Be sure to try some of it if you need a corn of this maturity type. It is 
truly.a great Hybrid.

100-105 Day Type 
This variety has outper- 
formed any other Hybrid in 
its maturity class that we 
know about. In Illinois last 
year, it outyielded full sea- 
son 115-120 day types by a 
considerable margin. That is 
truly unusual. It has very 
deep grains and a small cob. 
It is tolerant to corn borers 
and root worm. In our ex- 
perience, has shown practi- 
cally no lodging or ear drop- 
page. 
This is the first year we 
have sold this commercially. 
We believe it will become 
one of our most popular va- 
rieties. We eonsider it a 
great corn for areas having 
conditions similar to eastern 
Nebraska, Central Iowa and 
all the way through Illinois, 
Indiana, Ohio to the coast. 
Even south of this section 
its earlier maturity and big 
yields will have a great ap- 
peal to many farmers.
