The Virginia Experiment Stations says it is the ‘'tallest and best silage corn; 
large, sturdy stalks that stand up when shorter varieties blow down; strong roots; 
no barren stalks, many with ears over 12 inches long.” 
Willis Leach, Litchfield, Ohio, says: “Pamunkey is the biggest corn I ever grew, 
15 feet 3 inches tall; four acres filled a 12 x:33 foot silo.”

Wood’s Old Virginia Ensilage 
We are introducing our new improved strain which for two years has been even 
as tall and produced about as much silage and grain to the acre as Pamunkey and 
Eureka Ensilage. It produced more grain and silage than any other ensilage corn 
in a four-year Williamsburg, Va„ Experiment Station test, averaging 72 bushels 
per acre. Two of the largest farmers in North Carolina grew our new strain last 
year and both pronounced it the tallest and largest stalk and biggest ear they ever 
saw. The Delaware State Experiment Station says: “For years Wood’s Virginia 
Ensilage has outyielded all other varieties in our tests.”

E l p- | Our certified strain has a bigger ear and larger, stronger 
MT&Xerl r nciMd^ stalk than ordinary Virginia Eureka. In the terrific 
us*c,r\G hurricane last summer ordinary Eureka was badly 
blown down while Certified Eureka in adjoining rows was not damaged. In a 
Connecticut Experiment Station test our strain yielded 21.8 tons per acre com¬ 
pared to 19 tons, 15 tons and 13 tons for Eureka from three other leading growers.

Wood’s Blue Ridge Ensilage 
Earlier and yields more grain than 
Pamunkey, is more compact and 
easier to handle through the cutter- 
box. It has the broadest grain of any ensilage corn. It yielded 70 bushels per acre, 
the highest of 26 varieties tested at Staunton, Va. Popular with dairymen who 
want their ensilage to yield lots of grain before frost in Ohio, West Virginia and 
Pennsylvania.

Wood’s Yellow Sweepstakes Ensilage 
Averaged 63 bushels of grain per acre, the highest of any ensilage variety in a 
five-year summary of experiment station tests in nine states, and more silage 
than any other yellow variety. Ten days earlier than white ensilage varieties. 
Popular in mountain sections and northern states. It has the largest, broadest 
grain of any yellow corn. Deep golden color, large ears 12 inches long. In 1934 
it made 24 tons per acre, the highest record yield in the Rhode Island State tests, 
and averaged 23 tons per acre in three New York tests. 
By mail postpaid, y 2 peck 75c; peck $1.20; y 2 bushel $2.10; bushel $3.80. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 50c; peck 80c; y 2 bushel $1.40; bushel $2.50; 5-bushel lots:

Wood’s West Branch Sweepstakes 
Deep red colored grain. Earliest maturing standard ensilage variety. Popular 
in New Y’ork and New England where the season is short. Massachusetts State 
Experiment says: ‘‘Wood’s West Branch Sweepstakes yielded 72 bushels of grain 
per acre, and is one of our best ensilage varieties, combining good forage yield 
with correct maturity for this area, maturing a considerable proportion of ears. 
At Pennsylvania State in 1934 our strain yielded a third more than local West 
Branch and had “thicker, larger ears and grain.”

Lancaster Surecrop 
One of the heaviest grain producing corns for mountain sections, and popular 
in Northern States because it produces tremendous yields of grain and silage before 
frost. Makes the largest ear of any early corn, averaging a foot long. Grain is 
reddish golden color. For two years it made the highest yield of any yellow corn 
in both the Staunton and Blacksburg, Va., tests; 61 bushels per acre. It averaged 
71 bushels of grain per acre, and made the highest yield of ensilage on a dry 
weight basis in four-year tests in Ohio.

Wood’s Pamunkey Ensilage at New Haven, Conn., 
averaged 21 tons per acre in a five-year test, 
outyielding forty varieties.
