our Business 
is Built on 
SERVICE 
The producers of Funk’s G-Hybrid seed 
corn have built and maintained a thriving 
business around one basic rule: Sell a top- 
quality product, back it up with reliable 
service. As a result over the years we have 
repeatedly expanded our facilities to meet 
the ever-increasing demand for Funk’s G- 
Hybrid seed. We believe there is no 
stronger evidence of the growth of our 
business, our reputation and our services 
—one doesn’t build entire new plants un- 
less they are needed. 
DEPEND ON YOUR DEALER 
We hold hundreds of meetings each year 
throughout the Corn Belt to discuss ways 
to help you and your neighbors grow more 
corn and better corn. Your Funk’s G deal- 
er can give you good sound facts on yields 
and performance of adapted G-Hybrids 
right in your neighborhood. He follows 
the trial plots and talks to many farmers.

brids for your farming conditions.

5-STAR 
puts top yields in your crib 
Every year your corn crop has to face some kind 
of rough going—from weather, insects or disease. 
You can’t control those crop destroyers. But you 
can defend your crop from them. Against cold, 
damp spring—summer drouth—strong winds— 
worms, bugs, blight, rots, wilts or smuts—only 
Balanced Performing Funk’s G-Hybrids give you 
the real protection of the bred-in 5-Star qualities. 
And every one of those qualities is ready to go to 
FERTILITY, GOOD FARMING PRACTICES 
Seed production fields are carefully chosen for well 
balanced fertility to give extra “‘push’’ toward fully 
mature, well finished kernels. Only the best ap- 
proved practices of seed bed preparation, planting 
and cultivation are used. 
ISOLATION AND CAREFUL DETASSELING 
Seed fields are well isolated from other corn to pro- 
tect Funk’s G-Hybrids from undesired pollen and 
help assure purity of seed. Detasseling is done on a 
strict time schedule by trained crews under rigid 
supervision and careful inspection. 
EARLY HARVEST, EAR SELECTION 
Seed ears are harvested as soon as possible after 
maturity to get the seed safely inside before it can 
be hurt by birds, disease or cold weather. Crews 
of trained inspectors remove all ears that do not 
meet rigid Funk’s G-Hybrid seed requirements. 
PERFORMANCE 
work for you if and when it is needed. The proper 
balance of such bred-in qualities keeps Funk’s G 
going ahead, where other hybrids may fail. 
Balanced 5-Star Performance helps take the 
gamble out of corn farming. It puts top yields of 
good sound corn in your crib. This outstanding 
yielding ability is proved every year on our own 
proving grounds and on thousands of farms— 
under a wide range of growing conditions. But the 
final proof of any crop comes when you grow it 
on your own farm. Plant and compare Funk’s 
G-Hybrids with any other corn. 
These Procedures Insure Top Quality Funk’s G-Hybrid Seed: 
SAFE DRYING, ACCURATE GRADING 
Modern equipment safely and quickly reduces 
moisture content to about 13 percent. After shell- 
ing, the kernels are accurately graded for uniform- 
ity in kernel size and shape—to help you get your 
planting done quickly and smoothly. 
SEED COATING, HIGH GERMINATION 
Slurry treatment of every kernel gives added pro- 
tection against seedling diseases. Germination tests 
on all lots of seed are made repeatedly through- 
out the storage period to make sure the seed de- 
livered to you can make a full, vigorous stand. 
SAFE STORAGE, TIMELY DELIVERY 
After the seed is “bagged off,’’ it is stored in dry 
warehouses, with good protection against damage 
by rodents or excessive temperatures. Well before 
planting time, your dealer is ready to deliver to 
you the top quality seed corn that these modern 
processing methods make possible.
