WOOD’S VIRGINIA GROWN FIELD CORNS 
Wood’s Hybrid White Dent 
Make Record Yields All Over the Country 
(Last year Wood’s Seed Corns were tested by Experiment Stations in 20 
States from Vermont to Texas, making highest yields in most of them. 
SHasiy state 5 ®d county corn show prizes were won by Wood’s varieties. We 
gmo.w In isolated fields from the highest yielding pedigreed strains. The most 
lAt-rfeat .ears are selected, carefully dried and run over a long conveyor table, 
w.'aere expert corn pickers throw out every ear that is unsound, diseased or 
off-type. Only large ears with deep grain, straight rows and good tip and butt 
are saved. Each ear is hand tipped and butted, shelled and carefully graded 
to remove cracked, small or oversized grains and cobs. The germination is 
usually .97% to 100%. 
The highest yielding of all 
white corns. In 1935 it 
yielded 10 bushels per acre 
higher than 55 other varieties at the Virginia State College and highest in 
West Virginia. (See page 3 for description and price.) 
Certified Wood’s Improved White Dent 
—Matures in 125 days; roasting ears in 90 days; 9 feet tall. One of the 
heaviest yielding general purpose corns. Adapted to a wide range of soils, 
climates and uses. Very popular with the Southern truckers as its beautiful 
large ears bring the top market price. Ears 11 inches long with 18 rows of 
broad, deep grain set close on a medium small cob. Tip and butt well cov¬ 
ered with grain. Strong, vigorous stalk and foliage. Storm-resistant. The 
long, tight shuck extends 1.6 inches beyond the tip of the ear, protecting it 
from insect and weather damage, it did not show a single unsound ear last 
summer when the continued storms damaged other varieties from 10 to 60%. 
No variety has a longer record of higher performance at the Virginia State 
Experiment Stations. It yielded 98 bushels per acre, highest of 28 varieties 
in the Williamsburg, Va., 1932, test, and 01 bushels per acre, the 
highest yielding white corn in the Appomattox, Va., eight-year 
test, and in the Bowling Green, Va., test. 
Wood’s Southern Snowflake 
Wood’s Southern Snowflake 
Certified Wood’s Improved Golden Dent 
Certified Wood’s I mproved Golden Dent 
—Matures in 120 days; roasting ears in 85 days; 8% feet tall. The 
most popular early feed and roasting ear corn in the South. Extra 
large, deep golden grain. The most beautiful of all corns. Earliest 
maturing corn with flinty weevil-resistant grain, and long protect¬ 
ing shuck. Dependable yield under most adverse conditions. Makes 
a full crop planted after early potatoes. Superior for early hogging 
down. Our new improved strain was the highest yielding yellow 
as 91 bushels per acre.

(See page 3 for description and prices) 
Certified J arvis Golden Prolific 
—Matures in 120 days; roasting ears in 90 days; SV 2 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 Carolina for both beautiful ears and high yield. The N. C. 
Experiment Stations says: “One of the highest yielding yellow 
coins in all state tests. Medium ears, yellow grain on white cob. 
flinty, sound, smooth dent.” Outyielded all yellow corns at Experi¬ 
ment, Ga„ and in all Tennessee Experiment Station tests. 
—Matures in. 124 
days; 87 days to 
roasting ears; 9 
feet tall. The highest yielding roasting ear corn. Makes delicious 
roasting ears quickly, but if left to mature yields as well as the 
best field corn. It averaged 2,600 marketable roasting ears per 
acre, the highest in a five-year test at the Florida State Experiment 
Station, which reports, “As much Wood’s Southern Snowflake is 
planted in Florida as all other roasting ear corns combined. Its 
long, tightly twisting shuck protects the ears from worms.’’ The 
ears are large and have 16 rows of deep, sound grain that makes 
the finest snow-white water-ground meal. For six years we select¬ 
ed from only strong, vigorous stalks beating two iarge ears, until 
In 1933 it made the highest yield of 37 white varieties tested on 
our farm. It averaged 85 bushels per acre, the highest pure white 
corn in the Williamsburg, Va., three-year test, and was one of the 
highest and most prolific corns in the North Carolina, Tennessee 
and Kentucky tests. It is the ideal general purpose corn. 
i t . ■ —Matures in 120 days; roasting ears in 85 
Jim£> days; 9 feet tall. The best corn for late 
i vail •'UlMC. planting in the South as it thrives in tropi¬ 
cal heat. Strong, deep root system; stocky stalk; long, tight, thick 
shuck protecting the ears. Not a single stalk was blown down or 
ear damaged by the hurricane which destroyed other varieties. 
Earlier and higher yielding than Hickory King. Large ears. 16 
close fitting rows of flinty, large, broad grain. Smooth dent. Me¬ 
dium cob. Weevil-resistant. 60% of the stalks have two ears. It 
outyielded 92 varieties in our tests the last three years. It was 
only outyielded by Wood’s Hybrid White Dent in a test of 56 varie¬ 
ties at Blacksburg, Va., yielding 62 bushels per acre. It made the 
highest yield, 48 bushels per acre, in the Sanford, Fla., test. The 
Alabama Experiment Station says; “Wood’s Mexican June cannot 
be recommended too highly for early roasting ears and late planting 
in any section of Alabama.” 
NOTE—All Wood’s seed corns are treated With Semesan Jr. 
without extra charge. 
Matures in 125 days; roasting 
ears in 90 days; 9 feet tall. 
Makes one of the largest ears 
of any yellow com, 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 in the Blacksburg. 
Va., 1933 test of 50 varieties, yielded 62 bushels per acre. 
. i iy, —Matures in 125 days; roasting ears in 88 
ckorv Kino days; s feet tall. The most dependable corn 
■ wrwi y 1 on poor land or in adverse conditions or 
seasons. Shuck extends over two inches beyond end of ear. The 
grain is so large and the cob so small that a single grain will cover 
the end of a broken 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 popular in the mountain sec¬ 
tions and for early feed and roasting ears throughout the South.
