By now you've heard of the nationwide seed corn shortage of prices in excess of $50.00
per 56 pound bushel (when units are converted to bushels). Even more serious is the sub
standard quality being offered, such as 50 percent germination and low test weight.
Luckily Doeblers were treated fairly well by Mother Nature this past season, having
almost twice as much mid-season and late corns to sell as last year. These are the hybrids
that have gained customers each year the corns that are BRED AND GROWN FOR THE
EAST. It will pay you to try Doebler’s Penna. Hybrids in 1975. Doeblers have good quality,
good germinating seed corn (90 percent or better) and a realistic price that Pennsylvania
farmers can afford!!

dup and top-notch appearance. Ears are low and
