WHITE 
VARIETIES 
Our Seed Corns are treated with Semesan Jr. 
This treatment increases the yield, hastens and increases germin¬ 
ation, protects corn from rotting, allows earlier planting and pro¬ 
duces sturdier plants; controls seedling blight, reduces root rot and 
makes the stalk stand up better. 
YELLOW 
VARIETIES 
Wood’s Improved White Dent 
Southern Snowflake 
Matures in 124 
days; roasting 
ears in 90 days; 
10 feet tall. Makes a sound and beautiful ear, and is adapted to 
a wide range of soil and climate. Ears 11 inches long, 18 to 20 
rows of broad, deep, hard grain set close; medium small cob; tip 
and butt well covered. Strong, vigorous stalk and foliage. Storm 
resistant. Long tight shuck protecting the ear from insect and 
weather damage. Did not show a single rotten ear in our test 
last summer when the continued hard rains damaged other varie¬ 
ties from 10 to 60 per cent. It made the highest yield of any 
variety in the following Virginia State Experiment Station tests: 
Williamsburg, 98 bushels per acre in 1932; Staunton, two-year 
test averaging 61 bushels. It averaged 61 bushels per acre, the 
second highest white variety, in a three-year test of 50 varieties 
at Blacksburg. In the Tenessee Experiment Station it yielded 
60 bushels per acre. Popular for roasting ears with the southern 
truckers, as its beautiful large ears bring the top market price. 
Matures in 124 days; delicious 
roasting ears in 87 days. 10 feet 
. . , tall. The ideal general purpose 
corn. When ripe it makes a large yield of hard, sound grain that 
can be ground into the finest snow-white cornmeal. For six years 
we have improved this old reliable corn, selecting - only from 
strong stalks with two large ears, until in 1933 it made the high¬ 
est yield of 37 white varieties tested on our farm. Last year it 
made one of the highest yields in the N. C. Coastal test, over 
two-thirds of the stalks having two ears. It made 65 bushels per 
acre at Staunton, Va., the second highest of 26 varieties tested; 
and one of the highest yields in the Kentucky Experiment Sta¬ 
tion test, 65 bushels per acre. For three years it has averaged 85 
bushels per acre at Williamsburg, Va. It averaged 65 bushels 
per acre for two years, the second highest white variety at 
Blacksburg, Va. 
Matures in 125 da.ys; roasting ears in 87 
days; 9 feet tall. The grain is so large and 
the cob so small that a single grain will 
cover the end of a bro¬ 
ken cob. Our improved 
stock is the pure eight- 
rowed strain and has 
made the highest yield 
every year in the North 
Carolina poor-land test. 
It is the most depend¬ 
able corn under adverse 
conditions or seasons of 
drought. It is popular in 
the mountain sections 
and for early feed and 
roasting ears through¬ 
out the South. 
Hickory King 
Mexican June 
Matures in 119 days; roasting ears in 84 
days; 9% feet tall. The corn for late 
planting in the South, as it thrives in 
tropical heat, withstands insect pests, droughts, hurricanes and 
other adverse conditions of late summer that often ruin other 
varieties when planted late. A week earlier than Hickory King, 
grains large, and makes a larger yield. Large tapering ears, 9 
inches long, medium cob. 16 close-fitting rows of flinty grain. 
Weevil resistant; long tight shuck protecting the ear from 
worms. Short, stocky stalk, with strong deep roots. 60 per cent 
of the stalks have two ears. Yielded 48 bushels per acre and 
made the highest yield in a test at Sanford, Florida. The Ala¬ 
bama State Experiment Station says: “Wood’s Mexican June is 
the most promising corn for early maturity and roasting ears 
ever seen in this section.” 
Wood’s Improved Golden Dent* 
Matures in 117 
■days; roasting 
... . , . T ' ears in 85 days 
9% leet tall. Its extra large deep golden grain makes it the most 
beautiful of all corns, either on the ear or shelled. The most 
popular early feed and roasting ear corn in the South because it 
is the earliest maturing corn with flinty, weevil-resistant grain, 
long shuck protecting it from ear worms, and dependable yield 
under most adverse conditions. It can be hogged down earlier 
than other southern corns, and makes a full crop planted after 
early potatoes. 
Our new improved strain considerably outyields the old varie¬ 
ty and is one of the heaviest yielding yellow corns in the South 
1 n spite of its earliness. It made the highest yield of any yellow 
corn in the Sanford, Florida, test; in the 1932 North Carolina 
Coast Experiment Station; and in the Virginia Coastal two-year 
test, averaging 67 bushels per acre. The S. C. Coastal Experi¬ 
ment Station reports: “53 bushels per acre, flintly, no weevil 
damage.” The Kentucky Experiment Station reports': “50 bushels 
per acre, unusually sound, beautiful ears.” 
VirginjaYellow Dent 
Matures in 118 days; roasting 
ears in 86 days; 9 feet tall. 
Makes one of the largest ears 
of any yellow corn, 11 inches long, with 18 rows of deep, closely 
fitting grain; medium dent; butt and tip well covered; medium 
small cob, and sturdy stalk. It made the highest yield of any 
corn in the Appomattox, Va., eight-year test, and the Holland, 
Va., three-year test, averaging 70 bushels per acre. It made the 
highest yield of any yellow corn in the Clemson, S. C., 1931 test, 
and in the Blacksburg, Va., 1933 test of 50 varieties, yielded 62 
bushels per acre. 
Jarvis Golden Prolific 
Matures in 118 days; roast¬ 
ing ears in 86 days; 9% feet 
tall. Our strain comes from 
a breeder who has considerably improved this old variety, and 
who has won the most prizes for yellow corn in North Caro¬ 
lina for both beautiful ears and high yield The N. C. Experiment 
Stations says: “One of the highest yielding yellow crons in all 
state tests. Medium ears, yellow grain on white cob, flinty and 
sound, smooth dent.” Outyielded all yellow corns at Experiment, 
Ga., and in all Tennessee Experiment Station tests.
