Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific 
The highest yielding and most prolific yellow corn in the 
South. In 1935 it outyielded 42 varieties in the Virginia 
Coastal test and was the highest yielding yellow com in the 
South Carolina Coastal test and in Alabama. (See page 3 for 
description and prices.) 
Certified Wood’s Golden Prolific Com 
Douthit’s Prolific 
Matures in 132 days; roasting ears 
in 98 days; 9 feet tall. Our superior 
strain, coming from the original 
breeder made highest yields in many North Carolina Experiment 
Station tests. It made the highest yield in the 1935 Chatham, Va.. 
test; 14 rows of hard, white grain on a small red cob; 2 to 3 me¬ 
dium small sound ears per stalk. The shuck extends 1% inches 
beyond the end of the ear. 
• n l.f. Matures in 128 days; roasting ears in 
« KroliriC 94 days; 8% feet tall. One of the lieav- 
iest yielding early white prolific corns 
for medium soils. Large, deep, sound, flinty grain, large ear, small 
white cob. Shuck extends 1 % inches beyond end of ear. Weevil 
resistant. Short, stocky stalk, storm-resistant. In 1934 our im¬ 
proved strain yielded 84 bushels per acre, highest of 40 varieties in 
the Williamsburg, Va., test, and highest of 27 varieties in the 
Clemson, S. G., test. 
Biggs’ Seven Ear 
Matures in 124 days; roasting ears in 
90 days; 8 feet tall. The earliest and 
best prolific corn for poor soil. 2 to 3 
small,, sound ears per stalk. Smooth dent. 14 rows of hard grain 
closely set on a small white cob. Weevil-resistant. Shuck extends 
1.4 inches beyond end of ear. Small, stocky stalk. Outyielded 93 
varieties on our farm in the record drought of 1930. 
Hasting’s Prolific 
Matures in 132 days; roasting ears in 
98 days; 10 feet tall. Has 2 to 9 small, 
sound ears on each stalk. High yield¬ 
ing corn on rich soil with abundant moisture, but should not be 
grown on poor land. White, flinty grain on small white cob. Tight 
shuck extends 1.8 inches beyond end of ear. Highest yield in 13 
Louisiana tests in 1932. Highest yield in two Mississippi State 
tests and highest shelling per cent 88%. 
Certified Wood’s Golden Prolific 
Matures in 128 days; roasting ears in 95 days; 10 feet tall. Since 
1932 it has consistently been the highest yielding yellow com in 
the Southern Experiment Station tests, only being outyielded by 
its own hybrid strain. (See above.) It has 16 rows of large, flinty, 
deep golden grain; small cob; tip and butt well covered; long, tight 
shuck extending 1.4 inches beyond the end of the ear. In 1933 it 
outyielded 80 varieties at our experimental farm. It has been the 
highest yielding yellow corn every year in the Williamsburg, Va., 
tests, making the record yield of 93 bushels per acre in 1933. It 
made the highest yield and most silage of any yellow corn in the 
Staunton, Va.. test. South Carolina Coast Experiment Station: “It 
made the highest yield of any yellow corn, 3 out of 4 years tested, 
averaging 5 bushels per acre more than any other variety. Yielded 
60 bushels per acre, higher than our best local white varieties. It 
shelled out 88% grain. Ears medium large and practically free 
from weevil.” 
Whatley’s Prolifi 
Matures in 135 days; roasting ears 
\P\I « r'rnllMr in 100 days; 10 feet tall. It made 
^ 3 1 lw,M the highest yield in the 14-year 
Georgia Coastal test, and in South Alabama 3-year test. It yielded 
15 to 25% more than any other variety in the Florida test. White 
grain on small, red cob; 2 to 4 ears per stalk. The thick, tight shuck 
extends 2 V 2 inches beyond the end of the ear, protecting it from 
weevil and worms. Our strain came from the originator. 
Certified Latham’s Double 
Matures in 132 days; 
roasting ears in 96 
days; 9% feet tall. 
After several years of careful selection under supervision of the 
N. C. Crop Improvement Association we have developed a strain 
that is even superior to the original Registered Certified stock. It 
has 16 rows of deep, white grain on a small white cob. The shuck 
extends 1.4 inches beyond the end of the ear. It averaged 55 bushels 
per acre, highest in the Pee Dee, S. C., test. It averaged 53 bushels 
per acre, highest in the five-year N. C. Coastal test, and was the 
most prolific in 1934. It has a sturdy stalk with good root system 
and no root rot or smut. 
Certified Wood’s Dixie 
Certified Wood’s Dixie 
Matures in 125 days; deli¬ 
cious roasting ears in 88 
days; nine feet tall. No 
southern prolific corn has a longer recoi-d for high yields, it makes 
two large, sound ears on each stalk, 16 rows of broad, deep, flinty 
grain on a small white cob. Shells 87% grain. Shorter, stronger 
stalk than most prolific corns. Resistant to smut and root rot. In 
1935 it yielded 85 bushels per acre of sound corn at the Kentucky 
Experiment Station. It averaged 80 bushels per acre, the highest 
yield of 40 varieties in a four-year test at WTlliamsburg, Va. Made 
the highest yield of any white variety in three-year test at both 
Chatham, Va., and Holland, Va., averaging 69 bushels per acre. In 
1933 it made the highest yield at all four S. C. State Experiment 
Stations. The S. C. Coast Experiment Station says: “Wood’s Dixie 
made the highest yield ever tested here in 1933. and the highest 
average yield for three years. Weevil-resistant, heavy long shuck 
protecting the ears. Large ear and grain. Earlier than other prolific 
corns; can be planted later, avoiding wire-worm damage.”
