DEKALBaoAtYBRIDS 

GAIN P. L. Rohrer & Bro. are pleased to recommend a number of Dekalb 
A 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. P. L. Rohrer & Bro. are pleased to recommend the following 
adapted Dekalb varieties. 
DEKALB 201. Regarded as one of the earliest 
maturing numbers in the 200 series—approximately 
80 days. High-ytelding and quick-drying sort. 
Tall stalks for such an early variety. Good for silo 
where seasons are short. Medium dent; excellent 
for 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 422. 95 to 100 days. Long ears on 
medium tall stalks. Yields well. Leaves remain 
green after Corn is ripe. Valuable for Iate silo 
planting. Very attractive. Resists blight.

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. 
DEKALB 628A. 105 to 110 days. The long 
ears with straight rows of broad kernels contribute 
to the high-yielding powers of this variety. Stalks 
medium in height, with ears placed at a uniform, 
convenient height. A good performer on all types 
of soil. Good root system. 
DEKALB 680. 110 days. Produces well on rich 
soils or bottom lands. Fodder short. Ears long 
with medium dent kernels. Cob rather thick. 
Outstanding in uniformity. 
DEKALB 816. Approximately 120 days. Long 
heavy, deep-kerneled ears. High-yielding; remark- 
able standing ability. Fodder tall, suitable for 
silage. Short shanks makes this sort a favorite for 
husking by hand or mechanical picker. 
DEKALB 817A. 120 days. One of the newer 
sorts that has made friends. Produces big yields 
of long ears that have a high shelling percentage. 
Resists heat. Very dark green foliage.

variety. Does well on a variety of soil conditions 
low in fertility. Short, sturdy stalks. Attractive 
and a good yielder, under wide range of conditions. 
Medium-sized ear with deep kernel. 
DEKALB 827. 115 days. This sort is widely 
adapted to any section where the season is not too 
short. An excellent variety combining yield, 
standing ability, and easy husking. 
DEKALB 840. 115 days. Short leafy stalks. 
Heavy solid ears. Dark green foliage. Very uniform 
stalks and ears. Requires fertile soil to produce a 
large crop of grain. One of the most popular sorts 
in the 800 series. 
DEKALB 888. 120 days. Grows tall. Ears 
long. Best variety we know for ensilage. Adapted 
to all soils. Just what farmers are looking for to 
fill their silo.
