ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, 
ROBSON 
360 
NEW FULL-SEASON HYBRI 
‘The newest hybrid developed by Robson’s plant breeders, Robson 360 takes its place this year 
with the other fine “Adapted” hybrids produced by the Robson corn breeding program. 
Maturing a week later than Robson 320, our new hybrid, Robson 360, meets the need for a 
high producing grain corn at the lower elevations. Farmers in the long and midseason grow- 
ing areas will find Robson 360 measurably steps up their silage yields. 
A WEEK LATER THAN ROBSON 320 
Robson 360, maturing a week later than Robson 320, is well adapted for silage on farms 
below 1300 feet elevation and for husking on farms up to 900 feet elevation. 
ROBSON 360 STANDS UP 
Robson 360 is resistant to root and stalk rot. It stands up where other hybrids go down. 
‘The corn picker gets it all. 
AN EASY HUSKER 
At harvest time the husks on Robson 360 loosen, making it easy for the mechanical picker 
to husk it clean. Clean husked corn looks better and dries faster in the crib. 
20% MORE CORN 
Robson 360 produces more dry shelled corn than any other hybrid in its maturity class. 
In replicated trials Robson 360 yields up to 21% more than other hybrids of the same matur- 
ity. [This means more corn per acre and lower feed costs to you. 
ROBSON 360 — A QUALITY HYBRID 
Robson 360 is a hybrid the farmer is proud to show his neighbors. ‘The 9 foot stalk is strong, 
the leaves broad and dark green; the large upright ears, filled to the tips with many rows of 
glossy yellow kernels, make Robson 360 a show corn and fills the silo or crib with quality feed.

NEW YORK 10 
Walter Klumpp, Newfane, N. Y., is justly proud 
of his 1953 crop of Robson 360. Robson 360 is a 
week later than Robson 320 and should only be 
grown for grain in the longer season areas of New 
York. In the mid-season areas Robson 360 will 
be used extensively for silage. Note the height 
of plant, the broad leaves that remain green clear 
to the bottom of the plant when the corn is well 
dented and ready for the silo. 
TREATED SEED 
FOR BETTER STANDS 
Poor stands of corn are often due to 
damage from wireworms and seed corn 
maggot in the soil. All Robson Hybrids 
are not only being treated for seed and 
soil borne diseases but are also treated 
to protect against wireworms and mag- 
got injury. This treatment apparently 
also reduces seedling damage by birds.
