WOOD’S EARLY CORNS FOR HIGH ALTITUDES 
Grown in Virginia’s Rich Mountain Valleys where the Short Season Compares with New England 
CERTIFIED CORNS were bred many years for highest yield, purity, 
freedom from disease and strength of stalk, under the supervision of the 
State Crop Improvement Association. They inspect each field to see that 
it is isolated from other varieties. The ears are inspected for trueness to 
type and germination over 90%. The cost of 4 cents an acre more for 
certified strains will pay you back in dollars at harvest time. 
Our Seed Corns are treated with Semesan Jr. 
This treatment increases the yield, hastens and increases germination, 
protects corn from rotting, allows earlier planting and produces sturdier 
plants; controls seeding blight, reduces root rot and makes the stalk 
stand up better.

perior to ordinary Boone County in soundness, yield and beautiful 
show type ears. The Kentucky Experiment Station says: “It 
yielded 5 bushels per acre more than commercial Boone bought 
locally.” It has a record unequaled in Virginia, having won most 
of the important prizes for white corn for over thirty years. Mag¬ 
nificent ears, 10 to 11 inches long; 18 straight rows of deep grain. 
It made the highest yield in a nine-year test at Holland, Va., Ex¬ 
periment Station, and in a three-year Virginia Mountain test aver¬ 
aged 60 bushels to the acre. 
Silver King 
Matures in 114 days; roasting ears in 86 days; 
8 x /2 feet tall. The earliest maturing white field 
corn. For high altitudes, or for early feed and 
roasting ears in the South. A good poor land corn. Drought resist¬ 
ant. Will make a good ear to the stalk under most adverse condi¬ 
tions. It made 64 bushels per acre, the highest yield of 60 varieties 
in the 1933 Blacksburg, Va., test at 2,300 feet altitude. 
Woodburn White Dent 
Matures in 125 days; 
roasting ears in 90 days; 
9 feet tall. One of the 
heaviest yielding corns for rich valleys. Large, beautiful, sound 
ears and grain. Smooth dent. Strong stalk. West Virginia Experi¬ 
ment Station says: “It is one of the best varieties for both grain 
and silage, yielding 77 bushels per acre in 1934.” The Kentucky 
Experiment Station says: ‘‘It is perhaps the best corn we have ever 
gotten from the East.” 
Certified Clarage Early Yellow Dent 
—Roasting ears in 75 days; 8 feet tall. The earliest maturing of 
all corns and heaviest yielding corn that matures in less than 100 
days. Made the world’s record yield in Ohio—1,760 bushels on ten 
acres. Stood at the top of the West Virginia high altitude test. 
Linville Nurseries, Linville, N. C.: “By far the best yielding corn 
maturing at 2,300 feet altitude. It averages 60 bushels of good, 
sound corn every year and matures in 95 days.” R. E. Campbell, 
Anderson, S. C.: “The highest yielding early corn for five years, 
yielding 50% more than late corn two years. Earlier and much 
heavier yielding than Trucker’s Favorite with a better ear and 
grain, and tighter shuck. The short, stocky stalks are not blown 
down by storms and do not sap the soil. Every farmer should plant 
half of his crop in Clarage.” F. H. Heflin, Taylor County, W. Va.: 
“Earliest and best corn grown in this section.’’ Virginia Coastal 
Experiment Station: “The best early corn we ever tried: ideal for 
early feed, hogging down, or roasting ears. Very sound, little wee¬ 
vil damage, shuck covers tip well." B. G. Nicholson, Surry County, 
N. C.: “We sold roasting ears from Wood’s Clarage 69 days after 
planting. It is one of the best early roasting ear corns on the mar¬ 
ket. Many two and three-ear stalks.’’ 
Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent 
—A high yielding corn maturing in less than 110 days. In the 1935 
West Virginia, test it yielded 25i9! more than the leading West Vir¬ 
ginia yellow variety. (See page 3 for description and prices.)

8 % feet tall. Our prize winning strain won sweepstakes at the 
Chicago International and at the Maryland Com Show, and for five 
years at the Virginia Corn Show. It took the Gold Medal for yield¬ 
ing over 100 bushels,per acre. Large., beautiful show type ear, loy 2 
inches long; 18 straight rows of deep grain, closely wedged to¬ 
gether, filled out at butt and tip. Made the highest yield of 24 
varieties in a three-year experiment station test at Chatham, Va. 
Highest yielding yellow variety in eight-year test at Holland,'Va., 
and at Williamsburg, Va., in 1931, yielding 72 bushels per acre. 
Improved Learning Yellow Dent 
—Matures in 110 days; roasting ears in 80 days; 8 feet tall. One of 
the heaviest yielding field corns for Mountain Sections. Popular 
for early ensilage in the North and early feed and roasting ears in 
the South. Our improved strain averaged 62 bushels of grain and 
14 tons of ensilage compared to 55 bushels and 10 tons for ordinary 
Learning, in a three-year Connecticut test. It yielded 75 bushels per 
acre to 50 for ordinary Learning in a two-year Illinois test. It 
averaged 67 bushels per acre, outyielding 50 varieties in a three- * 
year test at Blacksburg, Va., altitude 2,300 feet. It outyielded 32 
varieties in the 1932 Virginia Mountain test, altitude 3,600 feet.
