Ask yourself: 
Like most everybody, you are now getting much better corn results than before hy- 
brids came along. Nearly everybody plants some kind of hybrid seed today. But all 
hybrids are so far from being alike! There has been such great progress in the breed- 
ing of certain hybrids. So many others have stood still, or are declining in use. Thank 
you for reading so far. . 
. and will you now please read about today’s great— 
FUNK-G HYBRID Seed Corn 
Today’s fastest-gaining of all hybrid seed! 
Not due to super-salesmanship. Because 
the Funk-G folks are breeders first, and 
salesmen second. The reason can be 
summed up in this statement by Dr. “Jim” 
Holbert, in charge of all Funk-G eeciee ; 
... No hybrid corn is ever good enoug 
. . we will never stop working toward 
making good Funk-G_ hybrids better.” 
It was this kind of thinking that has 
given Funk-G Hybrids their tremendous 
STANDABILITY. In seasons when other 
corn was going down, Funk-G was con- 
spicuously standing up. Because it had 
strong, stiff stalks, quality roots, providing 
anchorage and stamina. This same think- 
ing has produced other outstanding bene- 
fits. Fast starting for instance . . . even un- 
der adverse conditions. Disease resistance! 
Funk-G breeders proved-out many com- 
binations . . . finally establishing in Funk-G 
the proper qualities to greatly resist blight, 
wilts and rots. Same is true of Insect Re- 
sistance against such pests as borers, root 
worms, ear worms, weevils. Or take an- 
other corn-crop killer — dry weather: 
Drought Resistance, a truly-great quality 
of Funk-G, profiting eastern farmers since 
years ago. And in 1953, still a quality that 
was making them profitable corn—even 
up to conditions short of disaster. Funk-G 
breeders have combined these 5-Star Qual- 
ities remarkably in each Funk-G Hybrid 
. and fixed them there for Balanced 
Performance and profit for the man who 
plants them!

A fair question—for 
serious open-minded 
thought. There's so much 
NEW progress... let 
these eight pages tell you.
