Wood’s Pamunkey Ensilage—16^^ feet tall; 
ears 15 inches long 
Wood’s Yellow Sweepstakes Ten days earlier than Eureka and averaged 15 bush- 
1 , more grain in the six-year summai-y of tests in 
nine states, it nas the largest, broadest grain of any yellow corn, deep golden color, 
t^^s ears 12 inches long. It averaged 23 tons of silage per acre in three New York 
West Branch Sweepstakes Earliest maturing standard ensilage variety. In a 
.L, . Massachusetts test our strain yielded 22 tons of silage 
than ordinary West Branch Sweepstakes. It was taller and better 
eared than other strains in the New York test. 
Yellow Old Virginia Ensilage Extensive tests prove yellow corn has more vitamins 
.... _ and feeding value than white corn. Yellow Old Vir¬ 
ginia IS Identical to the white strain except for yellow grain, is two days earlier, pro¬ 
duces more ears, and is better for husking if not put in the silo. 
Wood’s Hybrid Ensilases tonnage, drought and storm resistant, deeper 
® roots, less disease, more vigor, early maturity, more 
grain and feeding value. We are the only firm to breed hybrid ensilage corns. Exten¬ 
sive experiment station tests in practically every northeastern state have proved their 
superiority over standard ensilage varieties. 
WOOD’S HYBRID RED SWEEPSTAKES is a cross between selected inbreds from 
Pamunkey Ensilage and West Branch Sweepstakes. 
WOOD’S HYBRID YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES is a cross between inbreds of the heaviest 
grain producing yellow corn and Yellow Sweepstakes. 
The demand has been so great we have sold out every year before printing this 
catalog. Place your order now. 
Wood’s Mammoth Ensilave —largest and heaviest yielding silage 
TTUOU 8 ividmmuin i:.n8uage South. For three years it out- 
yielded all other varieties in experiment station tests, yielding from 35 to 50% 
more than 24 other leading silage corns in one test. Made a record yield of 
36.3 tons of silage per acre in another test—almost twice as much as the 
average yield of 79 other varieties; w'as 1 to 5 feet taller; had 4 to 9 more 
leaves per plant; the leaves averaged 46.5 inches long, and not a single stalk 
broke down, although 5 to 15% of the other varieties lodged. It has large ears, 
deep, narr ow white grain, high feeding value, and is late maturing. It requires 
a third less acreage to fill your silos. 
Wood Pamunkey Averaged 23 tons of silage per acre in a six-year sum- 
^ mary of experiment station tests in nine states. It has 
strong, deep roots and large, sturdy stalks that stand up when shorter varie¬ 
ties blow down. 
“At tasseling time, some stalks of Wood’s Pamunkey were 20 feet tall.”— 
C. B. Wilson, Henry County, Kentucky. 
“Wood’s Pamunkey Ensilage was very good; some was 15 feet tall.”—Dr. 
Henry Yager, Orange County, Virginia. 
Eureka Ensilage strain had larger ears, more grain, and yielded 20% 
® more silage than ordinary Virginia Eureka in the Massa¬ 
chusetts Experiment Station test. At the Connecticut Experiment Station 
our strain made 22 tons per acre, compared to 16 tons and 13 tons for Eureka 
Ensilage from other leading growers. 
^Vood’s Early Eureka —week earlier than Eureka, but yields as much 
^ silage with more ears. Deeper grain. 
Wood’s Old Virginia close together; easy to harvest, and makes a 
S high percentage of grain. It has a deep grain and 
makes an excellent husking corn if not cut for silage. 
G. H. June, Greenwich, Ohio, said: “Wood’s Old Virginia made the best 
crop of ensilage we ever had.” 
^^ood’s BIu 6 Ridt?6 broadest, largest grain of any ensilage corn, early 
° maturing, and very popular with dairymen who want 
lots of grain in their silage. Compact and easy to put through the cutter-box 
Our seed is grown on a farm in the Blue Ridge section that has produced this 
original strain for a generation.
