WOOD’S HYBRID FIELD CORNS 
Not only will Hybrid Corns yield from 10 to 30 bushels per 
acre more than ordinary varieties, but they are sounder and 
more disease, storm and drought resistant, have a better root 
system and stronger stalk. This was very evident in the storms 
and hurricanes last summer. 
The highest types of thoroughbred live stock are bred from 
certain 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, unsoundness, etc. The undesirable strains are 
eliminated. When the superior strains are crossed, vigor is 
restored and the yield is increased often 50 per cent. 
Wood’s Hybrid White Dent 
Wood’s Hybrid White Dent 
Matures in 126 days; delicious roasting: ears in 91 days; 9 feet tall. IN 1935 
IT MADE THE HIGHEST YIELD OF ANY WHITE CORN IN ALMOST 
EVERY SOUTHEASTERN STATE EXPERIMENT STATION TEST. It 
yielded 71 bushels per acre, ten bushels higher than any of 55 other varieties 
in the Blacksburg:. Va., test and double the average. It yielded much higher 
than any other white corn at Morgantown, W. Va., not a single stalk falling 
down, while the best W. Va. variety lodged 20#. It yielded 88 bushels per 
acre of extra fine quality corn in the Kentucky test, and was one of the high¬ 
est yielding corns in the Tennessee test. Beautiful large ears. Sixteen rows 
of deep grain, closely wedged on a medium small white cob. Prolific. Very 
sound. The tight protecting shuck extends 1.6 inches beyond the end of the 
ear. 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 test¬ 
ing, we crossed the best strains. Tests indicate this crossed or hybrid corn 
will outyield any white variety in the Southeast.

Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific 
Matures in 132 days; roasting: ears in 96 days; 10 feet tall. THE HIGHEST 
YIELDING AND MOST PROLIFIC YELLOW CORN. YIELDS AS WELL 
AS ANY SOUTHERN WHITE CORN. In 1935 it made the highest yield of 
any yellow corn at most every Southeastern State Experiment Station. It 
yielded 60 bushels per acre, highest of 42 white and yellow corns at the Vir- 
Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific 
ginia Coastal Experiment Station. The highest yellow corn in the South 
Carolina Coastal test, yielding 20 to 40% more than leading Carolina yellow 
corns. It has a large, strong stalk and root system. Two to three sound cars 
to the stalk. Ears are completely protected from worms, weevil and birds by 
a heavy shuck, extending 2Vi inches beyond the tip. It has 14 rows of deep 
flinty grain. Beautiful golden color. Smooth dent. Small cob, well covered 
with grain at butt and tip. Highest shelling percentage of any corn. Most 
prolific and highest yielding of 40 yellow corns in our test every year.

Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent 
Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent 
THE HIGHEST YIELDING VARIETY THAT MATURES IN 110 DAYS. 
Roasting ears in 80 days; S feet tall. In 1935 it was the highest yielding yel¬ 
low variety in the Chatham, Va., tests. In the 1935 West Virginia test not a 
single stalk fell down and it yielded 25# more than the leading W. Va. yellow 
variety which lodged 40#. It made 70 bushels per acre in the 1935 Kentucky 
test; 75 bushels 1933 Illinois test, and 86 bushels per acre in the 1932 Holland, 
Va., test. 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.

Wood’s 90 Day Golden Flint 
Roasting ears 65 days; matures hard corn in 90 days; stalk 8*4i feet tall. 
It makes an extra heavy yield for such an early corn. Ears 12 to 13 inchesi 
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 delicious roast¬ 
ing 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.

Registered Certified Jarvis Golden Prolific 
Matures in 120 days; roasting ears in 90 days; 8Ms feet tall. We were able 
to 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 
prices for yel’ow 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.
