Developed especially for the north- 
most areas of corn production 
where a truly early dent-type is 
desired. The stalk stands 6% ft. 
tall with ears well placed uni- 
formly 2% ft. from the ground, 
making it easy to harvest. These 
ears are generaly well filled to the 
tip with 12 to 14 rows of good 
sound yellow kernels of high feed- 
ing quality. 
JACQUES

This hybrid is produced by cross- 
ing our earliest dent parentage 
with selected flint inbreds, thus 
attaining a flint dent hybrid in 
which the inherent qualities of 
cold tolerance and rugged adapta- 
bility are properly combined to 
produce a desirable corn for our 
western areas. The plant is 6 ft. 
talland somewhat crooked stalked. 
The ears are long and rather slen- 
der, having 8 to 10 rows of me- 
dium closed packed, hard dent ker- 
nels on a small white cob. 
JACQUES 
853-J 
Sturdy stalked plant 6% ft. tall 
with wide dark green leaves. The 
ears are thick and well filled with 
deep kernels on a medium sized 
cob and are attached to the stalk 
by a 4 to 6 inch shank which al- 
lows them to droop in early ma- 
turity.

BETTER FEED VALUE 
Jacques corn makes big kernels with 
large fatty germs, packed with protein 
and surrounded by much mellow soft 
starch. The leaves are broad, long and 
thick, making better ensilage, too. 
The inbred parents have been care- 
fully chosen for cold tolerance as 
well as good combining ability. 
The stalk is somewhat more 
sturdy than other of like maturity 
and the leaves are of medium 
width and thickness. There is a 
larger tassel that assures better 
pollination under adverse condi- 
tions.

into this corn is 
901-3 
This excellent early hybrid com- 
bines the durability of proven in- 
bred lines with an early selection 
form, a commonly used high yield- 
ing, soft, starched corn belt in- 
bred. This dark green sturdy plant 
stands 7 ft. tall, the ears are large 
and filled nearly to the tip with 
16 rows of densely packed rich yel- 
low kernels on a medium cob that 
begins to protrude from its husk 
as it ripens. Cold tolerance is in- 
herent and a good stand can be 
expected from this variety. 
JACQUES 
907 
This red-yellow hybrid combines 
the durability and high yield fac- 
tors of a northwestern dent with 
early yellow dent inbreds. Excel- 
lent cold resistance and high ver- 
satility. Stalk 8 ft. Sturdy tapered 
and filled almost to the tip with 
rather thick reddish yellow ker- 
nels on a red cob. Because of its 
added height 907 is often preferred 
for ensilage or fodder corn. 
JACQUES 
956-A 
The sturdy, well rooted stalk is 
normally 6% to 7 ft. tall and car- 
ries its ears 32 inches high. The 
leaves are heavy, dark green, and 
have an erect growth habit. The 
ear is thick with deep kernels on 
a medium cob; as harvest nears 
the husks begin to loosen, thus 
enabling clean picking. 
JACQUES 
957-JA Better insect resistance and im- 
proved cold tolerance, the stalk is 
7% ft. tall of medium diameter 
and tends to be somewhat crooked 
above the ears. Leaves are of me- 
dium size and in early growth 
stand rather stiff and erect. The 
tassel is a good pollinator even 
under adverse conditions. 
JACQUES 
1004-3 New improved 1004, the stalk is 
heavier and the ears somewhat 
longer than its predecessor, but it 
has retained the excellent uniform 
appearance and the ear quality 
made it a favorite. Husking qual- 
ity is much improved. Because of 
its disease resistance and strong 
stalk quality this hybrid does not 
die as early as do some others of 
like maturity and final drying out 
of the ear may at times be some- 
what delayed. 
JACQUES 
1053-J The combination of two newly de- 
veloped inbreds with early selec- 
tions of two old corn belt standard 
lines has produced a new and dif- 
ferent hybrid. The stalk is com- 
paratively short, standing approxi- 
mately 6 ft. in height with a wide, 
thick waxed leaf structure and 
well developed brace roots. Prac- 
tically no smut or aphid damage 
has been observed on this hybrid. 
JACQUES 
1055-J A top yielder over a wide area on 
many soil types, it not only pro- 
duces unheard-of yields but pro- 
duces dependably season after sea- 
son. The plant is very sturdy, with 
broad waxy thick leaves. The me- 
dium rough dent kernels contain 
much mellow soft starch surround- 
ing a fat and protein packed germ.
