feet tall. A big yielding early roasting ear corn, but if left to 
mature yields about as well as most field corns. For six years 
we made selections from only strong, vigorous stalks bearing two 
large ears. The ears are 8 to 9 inches long, sound, and have 16 
rows of large, deep grains on a small white cob. Does well on all 
soils. The Florida Experiment Station reports: “As much Wood’s 
Southern Snowflake is planted in Florida as all other roasting ear 
corns combined. Its long twisted shuck protects the ears from 
worms. It yielded 5,000 pounds of roasting ears per acre in 1935, 
the highest of 31 leading varieties tested; 80 per cent of the stalks 
had two big ears averaging a pound each." 
Wood’s Improved White Dent Com 
Certified Wood’s Improved White Dent 
Matures in 125 days; roasting ears in 92 days; 9% feet tall. After 
ten years of selection, next to Wood’s Hybrid W’hite Dent our Cer¬ 
tified White Dent has the best record for yields at the Virginia 
State Experiment Station. It outyielded 50 varieties at Williams¬ 
burg, making 98 bushels to the acre one year, and averaging 80 
bushels for five years. Adapted to a wide range of soils, climates 
and uses. Very popular in the South for roasting ears, where its 
large ears bring top prices. Beautiful ears, 10 to 11 inches long, 
with 18 straight rows of large, deep grain set close on a white 09 b; 
wrinkle dent; tip and butt well covered; ears well protected by a 
long shuck extending 2 inches beyond the tip. It did not show a 
single unsound ear when storms damaged other varieties 10 to 60 
per cent. Strong, vigorous stalk and root.

Certified Wood’s Dixie 
Matures in 126 days; de¬ 
licious roasting ears in 90 
days; 9 feet tall. Shorter, 
stronger stalk than most prolific corns. Not a stalk fell during a 
hurricane last summer when one-third of some varieties fell. It 
makes two large, sound ears on each stalk; larger than any other 
prolific corn, 8 to 9 inches long; 16 rows of broad, deep, flinty, 
white grain on a small white cob; ears are protected by a long 
shuck extending nearly 2 inches beyond the tip; 64 pounds of ears 
shells out 56 pounds of grain; resistant to smut and root rot. Can 
he planted later than other prolific corns, avoiding wireworm dam¬ 
age. Outside of Wood’s Hybrid Corns, Wood’s Dixie is one of the 
heaviest yielding and best corns for the average Southern farmer. 
It has a long record for high yields at state experiment stations 
throughout the South. 
Hickory King 
Matures in 126 days; roasting ears in 93 
days; 8*4 feet tall. The most dependable 
corn 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.
