DeKalb 240 
The favorite early grain Corn for 
mountainous high-altitude areas of 
Pennsylvania and northern-tier coun- 
ties of Pennsylvania. Most popular 
variety of all for New York State. 
High yields of sound grain and ability 
to stand cold temperatures make 
DeKalb 240 a favorite. Large or Me- 
dium Flats, $9.80 per bus. 
DeKalb 404A 
Probably the most popular variety 
in the entire East. Matures anywhere 
in Pennsylvania with the exception of 
high-altitude mountainous areas and 
northern-tier counties. It is a 90-day 
grain Corn in southeastern Penn- 
sylvania and Maryland, Delaware, and 
the Virginias. Most popular all over 
Pennsylvania because of its unusual 
ability to adapt itself to varying soil types and 
climatic conditions. Makes tremendous yields. Is 
the easiest husking Corn we ever saw. Large or 
Medium Flats, $9.80 per bus. Medium Rounds, 
$7.90 per bus. 
DeKalb 422 
This high-yielding old favorite is a triple-pur- 
pose hybrid—a favorite with many farmers for 
grain, fodder, and silage. While the stalk is only 
moderately tall, the plant is exceedingly leafy. 
The foliage remains green after the grain is ripe, 
which makes many northern farmers prefer it for 
its extra tons of high-quality silage. It is noted for 
its very long ears. Medium Flats, $9.80 per bus. 
DeKalb 458 
“Looks like 404A”—that’s what many growers 
say of 458. Slightly later maturity than 404A but 
with the same ear and kernel characteristics and 
ease of harvesting. It does well on a wide range 
of soil types and under different climatic conditions 
in the 400 Zone. It is a mighty good yielder that 
stands well and picks clean, and is one of the fast- 
est growing in popularity. Medium Flats, $9.80 
per bus.
