FUNK G.-91 
Introduced last year in response to the urgent demand of Virginia 
farmers for a high-yielding, good-quality early Funk G Hybrid. Will 
reach complete maturity in 100 to 105 days and is known as a “hard 
little fighter’’ under adverse conditions. Ears are big and long, placed 
low on short stalks, making it ideal for either mechanical or hand 
picking. Adapted to a wide range of soils. 
FUNK G.-98 
Produces one large, long ear of uniform thickness from butt to tip. 
Contains the famous inbred 67 from Lancaster County Sure Crop. 
Excellent stalk qualities that permit it to stand up when many others 
fall under insect and disease attacks. Recommended for medium to 
higher fertility soils. 
FUNK G-99 
Also a comparatively recent development that contains the inbred 
67 from Lancaster County Sure Crop. Has been a top yielder in tests 
conducted in the Valley. Does an excellent job on soils of low fertility 
but, of course, will do better on soils of higher fertility. Produces one 
very long ear per stalk and requires 110 to 115 days for full maturity.

ALL FUNK VARIETIES, 
FLAT KERNELS. 
Starts off very fast in spring and keeps right on growing. Produces 
lots of dark green foliage, giving it eye appeal during growing season. 
Ears exceptionally long and covered well on tips with husks. Has out- 
standing ability to stand up under severe insect attacks and wind- 
storms. Best adapted to soils of medium to higher fertility. Re- 
quires about 120 days for full maturity and resists corn-borers. 
FUNK 6-136 
Said to combine more outstanding qualities than any other. Beau- 
tiful bright yellow ears placed low on short stalks. Some farmers re- 
gard it as being ‘‘tailor made’”’ for mechanical picking. Has a vast 
root system, giving it unusual standing ability. Does well on soil of 
low fertility but better on rich land. 
FUNK G-704 
An outstanding late variety of yellow Corn, recommended for late 
harvest or ensilage. Requires about 125 days for full maturity but 
can be harvested earlier for the silo. Is also a high-yielding Corn, as 
late varieties go, and consequently provides high-quality ensilage. 
Ears hang downward, thus preventing water from lodging inside the 
husk. Has unusual standing ability, which is especially desirable in a 
late Corn.
