    G-17A
One of America’s most popular hybrids "Consist
ently good, year after year” Time after time pro
duces “Corn Belt” yields of gram or silage on
Eastern farms In tests with hundreds of hybrids,
under all sorts of management and soil variations,
it consistently ranks high It is the standard by
which hybrids of its maturity are judged
G-4473
A “stand-out” in Hoffman testing Especially adapted
to Eastern soils and weather Its shorter plant allows
thick planting Wakes more gram in fewer days
Superior leaf blight resistance—more girthy ears—
picks easier
G-4644
Won the Pa 5-Acre 1967 Yield Contest with 216 3 bu
per acre (17,500 plants) Experienced corn growers
rate it "Greatest Single Cross in the East” With
G 4644, you can plant at medium population—get
a high-population yield Really superior stalk quality
your crop stands up and stands out You’ll like
its big ears, too
OUTSTANDING Funk’s G-Hybrids for 1969
G-4697
In Eastern "torture tests''—as population
and fertilization increased, yields of G-4697
kept increasing proportionately—when
other hybrids “leveled off”. Whatever your
management system, it will outyield and
outstand competitors. Has brought a real
“Yield Explosion” to many farms. Excellent
leaf blight resistance . . . dark green,
healthy leaves. G-4697 is our most widely
used ZEA III! Special Cross.

dough stage. For most TDN,
wait until well dented.

Very popular double cross... gaming even
greater use. Has an unusual leaf system ..
utilizes the maximum sunlight, to fill ears
uniformly with heavy, deep kernels Really
performs against leaf blight—stays green

and all-around performance. Plant it with
confidence, and harvest with profit.
