YELLOW 
VARIETIES 
Southern Snowflake 
—Matures in 120 days. A most 
excellent early general purpose 
corn. In 95 days it makes large 
tender roasting ears of delicate flavor. It was one of the earliest 
and heaviest yielding white corns tested at Blacksburg. Va„ 
State Experiment Station. At Gainesville, Fla., State Experi¬ 
ment Station, it averaged 2,600 marketable roasting ears for five 
years, the highest, and double the average, of 24 varieties tested. 
Only one other variety showed fewer unmarketable, worm dam¬ 
aged or unfilled ears. 
■ « > iy, —Matures in 120 days; makes roasting ears 
Hirl^orx/ Kina in 95 days. The grain is so wide and deep 
■ y i'vimjj and ,-^g co b so srna u that often a single 
grain will cover the end of a broken cob. Our Hickory King has 
made the highest yield every year in the North Carolina poor 
land test; it is a most dependable corn in seasons of drought and 
adverse conditions. Our improved stock is the pure eight-rowed 
strain, and should not be compared with Hickory King as gener¬ 
ally sold. It is popular as an early corn in the mountain sections 
and for early feed and roasting ears throughout the South. 
Wood’s Improved White Dent 
iment stations have noted its beautiful large, sound ear, broad, 
deep hard grain set close on a medium small cob; freedom from 
rot and insect damage, and large, strong, vigorous stalk and 
foliage. Ears 11 inches long, medium dent. Highest yielding 
white variety in eight-year test Appomattox, Va., averaging 45 
bushels per acre. Yielded 55 bushels per acre, the highest white 
variety, at Bowling Green, Va., Experiment Station, 1931. It is 
adapt id to a very wide variety of soils and climate. Popular for 
roasting ears with Southern truckers, making roasting ears in 95 
days, and brings the top market price because of its large, beau¬ 
tiful ear. (Read about our new strain on page 3.) 
—Matures in 118 days. One of the oldest 
nn» early feed and roasting ear corns for the 
uim& far s ou th_ Roasting ears in 95 days. The 
grain is broad, deep and flinty when ripe, and the shuck protects 
the tip from insects. Has a short stocky stalk with strong root 
growth, and was not blown down by the hurricane which flat¬ 
tened most corn last summer. Made the third highest yield with 
the least amount of damaged corn of 24 white varieties tested on 
our farm. The ears are large and sound, 
nine inches long, slightly tapering, 14 
close-fitting rows, grain covers butt 
and tip well, medium large cob.

Wood’s Improved Golden Dent 
-—Matures in 
120 days. Six 
years ago we 
crossed a very heavy yielding, long-eared strain with medium 
small grain on an extra large-grained strain, and each year have 
re-selected. Now we offer a better strain with extra large grains 
and large, long ears that will outyield our old variety consider¬ 
ably. Last year it made the second highest yield of 64 leading 
white and yellow corns tested on our farm; was the highest 
yielding yellow corn, and third highest of 21 white and yellow 
varieties tested at the N. C. Coastal Experiment Station, out- 
yielding many other leading varieties; and was the highest- 
yielding yellow corn in Sanford, Fla., test. It was the highest 
yielding yellow corn in a ten-year test at the Georgia Coastal 
Experiment Station. Throughout the South it holds a place no 
other corn can fill; is early enough to make a crop following early 
potatoes; can be hogged down earlier than other Southern varie¬ 
ties; the grains are extra large, of a deep golden color, and is the 
most beautiful of all corns on the ear or shelled. 
Wood’s Virginia Yel low Dent 
any yellow corn,, 11 inches long, with 18 rows of deep, closely 
fitting grain; medium dent; butt and tip well covered; medium 
size cob, and medium large stalk. It is one of our oldest yellow 
varieties, and although it has not received as much attention 
from our corn breeders as some of our other varieties, it can 
always be relied on to make a satisfactory yield. It averaged 
46^ bushels per acre, the highest yellow variety, in an eight- 
year test at Appomattox, Va., and yielded 81 bushels per acre, 
the highest of all varieties tested at Holland, Va., in 1931. 
J . p* Imfm —Matures in 120 days. Our 
arvic r TC\\lTlC Strain comes from a breeder 
airia I lUIIIIU who has considerably im¬ 
proved this old variety, and who has won the most prizes for 
yellow corn in North Carolina for both uniformly beautiful ears 
and high yield. It was recommended to us by the N. C. State 
Experiment Station as follows: “An early yellow corn particu¬ 
larly adapted to Piedmont and mountain sections, and in Eastern 
Carolina for early hogging down. One of the highest yielding 
yellow corns in all State tests. Ears medium size, 8 inches long, 
yellow grain on white cob, grain medium deep, flinty and as 
sound as any corn in the State; smooth dent, medium small cob 
with 12 rows of grain. Forty per cent of the stalks have two ears. 
Medium heavy stalk.” It outyielded all yellow corns tested at 
Experiment, Georgia.
