VARIETIES OF MEDIUM LATE MATURITY 
800 
DEKALB 817A 
Similar to 817 in appearance and 
maturity, but produces a slightly 
longer ear and has a darker green 
foliage. Resistant to drouth and 
insects. Good depth of kernel. Is 
sure to make a lot of friends. 
DEKALB 817 
A favorite in any part of the 800 
zone but particularly successful 
in drouth and hot windy areas. It 
produces a long ear on stalks of 
medium height. Resists insects to 
a marked degree. Seldom has 
suckers. 
DEKALB 821B 
82IB has made its best compara¬ 
tive records on poorer soils, altho 
it is hard to beat on good land. 
Stalks are taller than 821—shanks 
longer. Easy to husk. Quite insect 
resistant. A good variety for any 
place.

DEKALB 825 
This is good bottom land corn 
where others may grow too tall 
and lodge. Stalks are short—leaves 
are long and broad. Ears are uni¬ 
form and well covered. Kernels 
rough to medium dent. Is insect 
resistant. 
DEKALB 821 
One of the first DeKalb hybrids 
produced in the 800 series and 
still a favorite. Best adapted on 
fertile soils, in the 800 zone, east 
of the Mississippi. This variety is 
very easy to husk. 
DEKALB 847 
•„» alMjESSSBmp. 
The heavy, solid ears of 847 con¬ 
tribute to its big yields. Offered 
last year for the first time. Its 
ability to mature ears on a live 
green stalk make it particularly 
desirable in late harvesting areas.
