Many of the most enthusiastic 
reports we get on our seed corn 
comes from farmers who have 
planted one of our blends. This 
| is especially true in a year when 
the weather is very hot while 
corn is pollinating. That is when 
most of the pollen dies before it 
falls on* the silk. Dead pollen 
can’t’ produce a kernel of corn. 
In most hybrid varieties the 
pollinating period is relatively 
short. There are only 4 pure 
lines in most of them and they 
may all pollinate at about the 
same time. By blending 3 or

Grades of Blends—continued 
Small Flat 
Graded for accurate planting but consists of short- 
er kernels. You can plant more acres from a bushel. 
In our seed fields we very often use this size grain and 
get yields of 100 bushels per acre and more. Available 
in Medium or Late Blend. 
Thick Flat 
This is composed of kernels that are too long to be 
classified as rounds and too thick to make regular 
flats. These kernels seem to produce very strong 
vigorous plants. This grade is one of our best sellers 
and at our very low price is an exceptional value. 
There is nothing better from the standpoint of pro- 
duction available in Medium and Late.

seldom that it would continue for many days. Hence 
by planting a blend you have greater assurance of well 
filled ears and bigger yields. 
What Makes Berry's Blends 
We use only the regular varieties that we produce 
ourselves. There are two maturity ranges. Medium 
-and Late. In the Medium we use varieties that range 
in maturity from 95 to 110 days. In the Late those 
that mature in 105 to 120 days. Then in each there 
is a 15 day spread to give a good pollinating period 
and still adapted to being grown together. 
The Grades In Which Blends Are Available 
We offer Blends in the four grades as described be- 
low. The Regular Flat which is available only in the Round 
Late Blend and the Small Flat, Thick Flat and Round 
: These as the name indicates are kernels that approach a round 
which are available in both Medium and Late Blends.
