Wood’s 90 Day Golden Flint Registered Certified Jarvis Golden Prolific 
Roasting: ears 65 days; matures hard corn in 90 days; stalk 8 Ms feet tall. Ears 
12 to 13 inches long - , very sound, deep golden color. Eight rows of large, broad 
grain on a small cob. It is not a sugar corn like Golden Bantam, but the deli¬ 
cious roasting ears resemble that variety but are twice as long, and it yields 
many times as many ears. Planted on our farm the middle of August it made 
roasting ears before frost. It thrives in cold weather that will retard or kill 
other corns. It is an excellent variety for high mountain sections, or to plant 
very early in the spring or late in the summer for roasting ears or quick feed.

secure the whole crop of FOUNDATION STOCK JARVIS from the breeder 
recommended by the N. C. Crop Improvement Association as having perfected 
a much superior strain of this old reliable variety. It has won most important 
prizes for yellow corn in North Carolina both for its beautiful ear and heavy 
yield. This strain outyielded all other yellow corns tested at the N. C. Coast 
Experiment Station in 1934; in the eight-year N. C. Mountain test; at the 
N. C. Blackland Station in 1931; at Glade Spring, Va., in 1931 and 1932; and 
at Williamsburg, Va., averaging 76 bushels per acre in 1931, 1932 and 1933.

Wood’s Southern Hybrid 
Sweepstakes Ensilage 
Combines the tall stalk and heavy tonnage of the largest Southern 
ensilage variety and the early maturity and tremendous grain yield 
of the best Northern corn. Last year it made the highest yield of 
any ensilage corn in the State experiment station tests of West Vir¬ 
ginia and Pennsylvania, yielding 17% tons per acre. In New 
York it was much taller and yie ded a third more ensilage than 
West Branch Sweepstakes, their leading variety. In Rhode 
Island it yielded 21 tons per acre, much higher than Eureka, 
their former high-yielding variety. In 1932 it yielded 81% 
bushels of grain per acre, the highest of fifty varieties in the 
Connecticut test. The leaves and stalk stay green long after 
the ears are ripe. The best ensilage corn for the North, or in 
high altitudes with short seasons, and for late planting in the 
South. By mail postpaid, qt. 45c; % peck $1.10; peck

Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent 
The highest yielding variety that matures in 110 days; roasting ears in 80 
days; 9 feet tall. This year we offer an improved strain with heavier yield 
and larger ear than the strain from which we received so much praise in the 
past two years, and which made the following yields per acre in State Experi¬ 
ment Station tests: In 1934, Kentucky, 71 bushels in one test and averaged 61 
bushels in three tests; in 1933, Illinois, 75 bushels; Glade Spring, Va., 53 
bushels; in 1932, Holland, Va,, 86 bushels; Williamsburg, Va., 64 bushels; 
Blacksburg, Va., 56 bushels. 
Every stalk bears a uniform large solid ear with 16 straight rows of deep 
grain tightly wedged on a small cob with tip and butt well covered. It is 
disease and drought resistant. The stalk is short and stocky with a strong 
root system. An excellent early corn in the South when planted close in the 
row, and is the ideal corn for high altitudes. By mail postpaid, qt. 45c;

Wood’s G-olden Prolific Com 
Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific 
Matures in 129 days; roasting ears in 93 days; 10Ms feet tall. At last we offer 
a true Southern yellow corn that yields as well or better than many leading 
white varieties. Last summer it was the most prolific and highest yielding of 
forty yellow varieties tested at our experimental farm. It averaged two good 
ears on every stalk. The ears were completely protected from worms, weevil 
and birds by a heavy shuck averaging 2.6 inches longer than the tip of the 
ear. It has a large, strong stalk and rood: system. The grain is large, deep and 
flinty; beautiful golden color; very sound; small cob. Highest shelling per¬ 
centage of any corn. By mail postpaid, qt. 45c; M» peck $1.10; peck $1.85;

Wood’s 
Hybrid 
White 
Dent 
Wood’s Hybrid White Dent 
Matures in 124 days; roasting ears in 90 days; 10 feet tall. Beautiful large 
ears, deep grain, prolific, very sound. Although Wood’s seed corns have made 
the highest yields in most Southeastern State Experiment Station tests, we 
believe this new variety will yield far greater than anything ever dreamed of 
in this section. In 1928, from about 10,000 bushels, we selected 100 perfect 
ears from each lot grown by fourteen leading corn growers. Each ear was 
planted in a separate row and self-fertilized by hand. Only disease-free rows 
with strong stalks making highest yields of superior ears were saved. We 
repeated the inbreeding year after year, eliminating inferior strains. After 
careful testing, we crossed the best strains last year, planting in alternate 
rows, and saving seed only from rows that were detasseled by hand. Our tests 
indicate that this crossed or hybrid corn will outyield any variety ever grown 
in the Southeast. By mail postpaid, qt. 45c; Ms peck $1.10; peck $1.85;

WOOD’S HYBRID CORNS 
The most progressive farmers in the corn belt are increasing their yields by 
planting hybrid corn. After eight years of intensive breeding we now make 
available to every farmer in the Southeast adapted strains of both white and 
yellow hybrid corns that will yield from 10 to 30 bushels per acre more than 
ordinary varieties and are more disease, storm and drought resistant, have a 
better root system, stiffer stalk, and are sounded with fewer rotten ears. 
The highest types of thoroughbred live stock are bred from cer¬ 
tain parents whose good qualities were developed and fixed by close 
inbreeding. Self-fertilizing corn several years brings out inherited 
weaknesses, like barren or weak stalks, disease susceptibility, un¬ 
soundness, etc. The undesirable strains are eliminated. When the 
superior strains are crossed, vigor is restored and the yield is in¬ 
creased often 50 per cent higher than the original variety.
