Rnku<(un Frlihle Srivh#»an A delicious and nourishing veg-eta^ 
i\OKUSUn i:.aiDie ooyoean healthy human food ele¬ 
ments not supplied by other vegetables, l^roduces an abundance 
of tender green beans in the last half of summer equal or supe¬ 
rior in flavor to any other bean. The mature dry bean can be 
• stored and eaten the rest of the year. The dry bean is large, flat, 
with a beautiful bright yellow color, and analyzes 43% protein 
and 18% oil, highly digestible; an excellent substitute for meat 
in the diet. The vine makes an upright growth, 4i/^ feet tall, and 
withstands heat, drought and ravages of bean beetles and many 
pests which attack other beans. Requires little cultivation. 
Highly relished as a staple food in the Orient. Should be in- 
' eluded in every Southern vegetable garden. By mail postpaid,

Wood’s Yellow Soybean *9 times as much 
^ as other varieties. Beans do not pop 
out. Disease and storm-resistant. Large, beautiful beans of a 
bright yellow color, similar to Mammoth Yellows, but half again 
as large. Bids fair to replace all other varieties in this section. 
It has been yielding 25 to 50 bushels per acre on all soils, while 
other varieties yielded a third to half this amount. Highest qual¬ 
ity for oil, hay, or for hogging down. Its deep roots and strong 
stalk make it resistant to either drought or storms. Maturity 
140 to 150 days. By mail postpaid, ^ peck 60c; peck $1.00;

Sesbania wonderful crop for attracting quail. A legume which 
has no equal for furnishing nitrogen and humus to 
cultivated or waste land. Tall, upright growth; good cover for 
birds; sheds seed all winter, attracting and fattening game birds.

spring. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.85;

Black Medic Clover Excellent winter and spring pasture and 
good hay crop. Relished by all livestock. 
Grows during cold months when most plants are dormant. Should 
be sown on every permanent pasture in the South, especially 
lespedeza. Reseeds itself and becomes dormant in July. Spreads 
rapidly on practically all soils. Excellent cover and soil-improv¬ 
ing crop. Makes a beautiful lawn. Seed 10 to 15 pounds per acre, 
scratched in lightly, if convenient. Responds to lime and phos¬ 
phorous. See page 63 for further description. By mail postpaid,

Strawberry Corn 
The genuine strain, with large, deep grain; copper colored out¬ 
side and white inside; so popular in Alabama for early feed, roast¬ 
ing ears and snow-white corn meal during the summer when old 
com is used up. Matures in 115 days; roasting ears in 85 days. 
Earlier than Golden Dent. Very sound ears protected from weevil 
and ear-worms by a long, tight shuck. Short stocky stalk; resistant 
to heat and drought. In Southern experiment station tests our 
strain has yielded as well as later maturing main corn crops.

Iowa Silver King Corn 
An early maturing, heavy yielding white com. Matures in 90 
days; delicious roasting ears in 63 days. Truck growers have found 
this far northern-grown seed gets roasting ears on the market 
earlier, bringing a better price. An ideal field corn for mountain 
sections, where it has stood at the top in yield tests. Excellent for 
early feed in the South. Large, long ears; 16 rows of deep grain on 
a small cob; small, stocky stalk; drought-resistant. Good on poor 
or rich land. By mail postpaid, qt. 30c; Yz peck 75o; peck $1.20;

OUahoma Silvermine Corn 
One of the largest eared, soundest and heaviest yielding white 
corns ever developed in the South. 
Matures in 125 days; roasting ears in 93 days. A much better 
yielder than Iowa Silvermine. So resistant to adverse southern 
conditions that Florida farmers pay a high premiuum for it. 
“Forty acres yielded over 2,500 bushels, 20% more per acre than 
my regular corn. Wonderful shuck protection. Very heavy ears 11 
to 12 inches long. Medium dent. Very deep, large grain; small cob. 
Extremely sound, with no rotten corn. Strong, stocky stalks.”—

Wood’s Hybrid Seed Corns 
‘‘Hybrid Seed Corn, developed here, May Revolutionize 
Southern Agriculture as did Eli Whitney’s Cotton Gin.” 
—Richmond Nezvs Leader, October 27, 1938. 
115 bushels of corn where only 30 grew before — over three times the yield of other 
varieties planted at the same time under identical conditions—was harvested by E. L. 
Demis, Jr. on Brookbury Farm., Chesterfield County, Virginia. He planted 10 acres of 
" 29,9 ® plybrid Yellow Dent so close in the row his neighbors predicted a failure. 
Virginia farmers had heard little about the development of hybrids suitable to Virginia 
soils and climate. Some have been badly disappointed with hybrid seed developed in the 
Mid-west and sold for use on lands unsuited to corn belt varieties. Only a few heard that 
experimenters of T. W. Wood & Sons have been working for twelve years upon Southern 
Hybrids that already are yielding results even better than those claimed by mid-western 
exiierimenters. 
“Record yields reported by State experiment stations indicate hybrid seed will free 
Southern farmers from hazards that have kept their average production at about 23 bushels 
per acre, and enable them to go far above the corn belt average of about 35. Already we 
have hybrids with stalks that resist violent storms, with tight shucks that baffle weevil and 
ear-\yorms, and with roots long enough to protect them from drought. Success thus far 
convinces us the Southern States may take supremacy in corn and hog production away 
from the Corn Belt States.”
