Wood’s Hybrids for East and South 
; After 10 years’ intensive breeding - on onr own farms and in close co-operation 2 
; with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the various state experiment 2 
; stations, we now offer the heaviest yielding - hybrids available for all sections of ; 
2 the East and South. The advantage of our hybrids, in addition to yield increases ; 
2 up to 25 per cent or more, is in its strength of stalk and deep rooting. 
Wood’s Hybrid Extra Early Yellow Dent 
Highest Yielding Corn for Extremely High Mountains and the Far North. 
Best Extra Early Feed Corn for the South. 
98 days to mature; 74 days to roasting ears; the earliest maturing hybrid. Same 
maturity and adaptation as our Early Clarage and Early Flint Corns, including the 
Alleghany Plateau in West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania, New York, New 
England, and northeastern Ohio, where it has yielded consistently high in a number 
of experiment station tests. Medium long ears; 16 straight rows of thick, sound 
grain; medium dent, small cob; ears placed low on a leafy medium short, stocky 
stalk 8 feet tall that will stand up in spite of storms. Extremely deep roots; drought 
resistant. An ideal roasting ear corn for market or home gardens in the South, 
Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent 
Most Productive Com for Medium High Altitudes and Middle Atlantic States. 
Excellent Early Feed Corn, for the South. 
112 days to mature; 83 days to roasting ears. Experiment station tests indicate 
it is the heaviest yielding corn of the same maturity and adaptation as Lancaster 
Surecrop and Learning for Virginia Piedmont and Mountains, Western North Caro¬ 
lina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Southern Ohio, Maryland, Southeastern Pennsyl¬ 
vania, Delaware, New Jersey, Long Island and Connecticut. Heaviest yielding early 
feed corn further south when planted close in the row. Every stalk boars large, 
sound, beautiful, show type ears 11 inches long with practically no short or un¬ 
sound ears. 16 rows of deep grain tightly wedged on a small red cob; medium dent; 
medium short, stocky strong stalks, 8y 2 feet tall; extensive deep roots; extremely 
disease, storm or drought resistant. 
Its average yield was considerably higher than any variety in the West Virginia 
tests, yielding 122 bushels per acre in one test. 
2 rows, same length. Note the difference in yield.

tal Experiment Station. It outyielded all other yel¬ 
low corns by 20 per cent for two years. 
Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific 
Highest Yielding and Most Prolific Yellow Corn for the South. 
The only yellow corn to outyield all white varieties in the Georgia and Ala¬ 
bama tests. It made the highest yield of any yellow corn in experiment station 
tests in every southeastern state from Virginia to Florida—a feat never before 
done, outyielding other yellow corns 15% to 26%. It outyielded their leading 
yellow corn 15% in Tennessee. Last year, in spite of intense heat and drought, 
it made the highest yield ever made by white or yellow corn in the Chatham, 
Va., Experiment Station tests, and yielded 100 bushels per acre on our farm, 
outyielding 178 of the best hybrids and varieties from all over the country., and 
was the most prolific and had the best shuck protection. 
“It made far better yields for me and my neighbors than other corns for 2 
years, including the 1935 drought. I never saw a stalk blow down. Each stalk 
has 2 to 5 good ears.”—Joseph Billingsley, King George Co., Va. 
“60 acres of Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific yielded 60 bushels per acre while 
the best local varieties yielded 20 to 40 bushels. It is sounder, better shuck pro¬ 
tection from weevils and more heat and drought resistant. I will plant nothing 
else.”—Warley Fruit & Produce Co., Mobile Co., Alabama. 
Wood's Hybrid White Dent 
Highest Yielding White Com for the South. 
It has repeatedly outyielded other white corns in state experiment station 
tests from Maryland, West Virginia and Kentucky, on South. Recommended for 
late planting to avoid wire worms in the far Southern Coastal Section. The 
ears are protected from weevil and crows by thick, long shucks, extending 2 
inches beyond the tip. It yielded 15% to 25% more than any other white variety 
in the Staunton, Va., test for two years. It outyielded 55 leading hybrids and 
varieties at Blacksburg, Va. It made the highest yield on record in tests at the 
South Carolina State College. 
Only Costs 50c. More Per Acre to Plant Hybrid 
Only one bushel increase per acre will more than pay for the seed, and the 
balance will be clear profit. Last spring hybrid seed in 
the corn belt sold from $8.00 to $15.00 per bushel and 
there was not enough to meet the demand. As we sell 
out of hybrid corn every year, $1.00 per bushel deposit 
must be sent when booking orders for next spring ship¬ 
ment.
