DEKALB o*HYBRIDS 

GAIN P. L. Rohrer & Bro. are pleased to recommend a number of Dekalb 
Quality Hybrid varieties to their many farmer friends. 
Only those sorts 
that have proved out in Pennsylvania and the eastern seaboard are offered. 
These have been tested under the personal supervision of P. L. Rohrer & Bro. 
Yields were checked again this past year and accurate records kept. 
Dekalb 
Hybrids proved themselves to be thoroughly suited to Pennsylvania growing and 
farming methods. 
adapted Dekalb varieties. 
DEKALB 201. Regarded as one of the earliest 
maturing numbers in the 200 series—approximately 
80 days. High-yielding and quick-drying sort. 
Tall stalks for such an early variety.. Good for silo 
where seasons are short. Medium dent; excellent 
a late planting. Good performer on various types 
of soil. 
DEKALB 240. A heavy yielder that matures 
extra early—about 85 days. Small cob; dries out 
fast; adapted to all soils. Withstands cold tempera- 
tures in high altitude. Suitable for short-season 
or June planting in later zones. 
DEKALB 404A. 90 to 95 days. One of the 
most popular Hybrids in the Northern Corn Belt. 
In addition to producing a high yield of well- 
matured, long-eared Corn on stiff stalks, 404A 
harvests remarkably easy by hand or machine. 
Many report it to be the easiest Hybrid they have 
ever husked by hand. An exceptional all-round 
variety combining beauty, dark green foliage, and 
kernels carried well over the tip. 
DEKALB 606. About 100 days. Farmers de- 
siring a medium-maturing hybrid can make no 
mistake in selecting 606. Long-eared; stands 
drought. While it does not have as soft a kernel 
as some other varieties, it is popular with livestock 
feeders because of its high shelling percentage.

best selection of any Hybrids
