WOOD'S CERTIFIED FIELD CORNS 
Hand Selected, Tipped and Butted—Germination 90 to 100% 
Grown from superior strains that were bred many years for highest yield, purity, resistance to disease and strength of stalk. The Crop 
Improvement Association inspects each field to see that it is isolated from other varieties to prevent crossing. After harvest the ears, 
which must be hand selected, true to type, sound, and germinate over 90%. State tests show that certified seed yields more than uncerti¬ 
fied. The additional cost of about 3 cents an acre to plant certified strains will pay you back in dollars at harvest time.
