Wood’s Hybrid Sweepstakes Ensilage 
Greater Tonnage, More Grain and Feeding Value 
Ideal for the Dairy Farms in the North and Piedmont and Mountain 
Sections of the South. 
After ten years our breeders in Virginia have developed a hybrid expressly for 
ensilage purposes, with the tall stalk and heavy tonnage of Southern Ensilage 
corn and the earliness of Northern corn and more grain than either. It is a 
cross between the heaviest grain yielding early ensilage corn and Wood’s Pamun- 
key Ensilage, the tallest of all corns. It makes a quick, vigorous growth, pro¬ 
ducing the maximum amount of feed possible in a short season. It’s tall, thick, 
stocky stalks stand up in storms that blow other varieties down. Leaves wide, 
close together, and stay green after the ears ripen. Two big ears to the stalk. 
Stalks weigh a fourth more than equally tall stalks of other varieties, with 
more grain and higher protein content. If left to mature, it makes a wonderful 
husking corn, with heavy yield of big, sound ears and large grain. It yielded 
29.3 tons of silage per acre, 60% more than their leading local ensilage varieties 
in one experiment station test. 
State College, Pa.: “Wood’s Hybrid Sweepstakes considerably outyielded our 
regular ensilage varieties with less than a week’s difference in maturity.” 
Delaware Experiment Station: “Hybrid Sweepstakes had no barren stalks. 
99% of its corn was sound. It outyielded our leading local variety and 37 
hybrids from all over the country.” 
“For several years about 9| acres of Hybrid Sweepstakes filled and refilled 
my 200-ton silo. It produced from 112 to 120 bushels of grain per acre. Many 
stalks were 16 feet tall.’”—Banks Hudson, Boyle Co., Ky. 
“Hybrid Sweepstakes far surpassed any corn I ever planted and was more 
resistant to corn borer. The stalks and ears were very large, the foliage thick 
and started right at the ground. I will plant my entire crop in it this year.”— 
B. H. Allen, Burlington Co., N. J. 
WOOD’S PAMUNKEY ENSILAGE 
THE BEST LATE ENSILAGE CORN FOR THE SOUTH 
Averaged 23 Tons of Silage Per Acre, the Highest of All Varieties in a Six-Year 
Summary of Experiment Station Tests in Nine States. 
“I have grown Wood’s Pamunkey Ensilage three years. It yields more ton¬ 
nage than any other corn. It grows 16 feet tall, with stalks as big around as an 
ear of corn. It makes a big yield of sound grain; two 10-inch ears to the stalk. 
Grain large, broad and flinty. Eight acres fill a large silo. I filled seven silos 
and had twelve acres left for feed corn.”—M. B. Smith, Spartansburg Co., S. C. 
‘During a bad drought on thin land it filled my silos three times as fast as 
other corns.”—V. O. Blalock, Person Co., N. C. 
WOOD’S IMPROVED WHITE DENT—Certified 
Matures in 12 5 days; roasting ears in 92 days; 9J feet tall. For many years 
the best record for yields at the Virginia State Experiment Stations. It outyielded 
50 varieties at Williamsburg, 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 cob; ears well protected by a long shuck extend¬ 
ing 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 stalks and root.

Sweepstakes in the Connecticut Experiment 
Station test, where it made record yields. 
Wood’s Dixie—Certified 
WOOD’S DIXIE—Certified 
Matures in 126 days; delicious 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; 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 be planted later than other 
prolific corns, avoiding wireworm damage. 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. 
WOOD’S 90-DAY 8-ROW GOLDEN FLINT 
Roasting ears in 70 days. Longest ear and heaviest yield of 
all flints. Ears average 13 inches long. Strong, vigorous stalk 
8 feet tall. Best flint for high altitudes or for late planting in 
the South. Grows in cold, damp weather that kills dent corns. 
Can be planted 10 days later in the fall and still mature a 
good crop. 
LANCASTER SURECROP 
Matures in 111 days. Tremendous yeilds of grain or silage in 
a short season. Largest ear of any early corn, averaging a foot 
long. Reddish-yellow colored grain. 
WOOD’S IMPROVED GOLDEN DENT 
Matures in 121 days; roasting ears in 89 days; 8| feet tall. 
The most popular early feed and roasting ear corn in the South. 
The most beautiful of all corns either shelled or on the ear- 
very sound ears 9 to 10 inches long, with 14 to 16 rows of large’ 
deep grain; dimple dent; golden color. It is the earliest matur¬ 
es corn with flinty, weevil-resistant grain and long protecting 
shuck, short, stocky stalks and deep root system. Excellent 
for hogging down and for planting after early potatoes. It is 
a dependable yielder under adverse conditions of drought heat or 
storm on light or heavy soil. It made the highest yield of any 
yellow corn in the Georgia Experiment Station ten-year test. 
SMOKY DENT 
Also called Red Robin, Early August, Early Lycoming, Maule’s 
Earliest of All. Matures in 93 days. Roasting ears in 68 days. 
Very broad large grain, deep red color. White cap. One of 
the earliest maturing of all corns. 
IOWA GROWN SILVER KING 
An early maturing, heavy yielding white corn. 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. 
MEXICAN JUNE 
Matures in 120 days; roasting ears in 85 days; 9 feet tall. 
A splendid corn for late planting, as it thrives in tropical heat 
and withstands droughts and hurricanes. Mixed white and blue 
grains. Strong deep root system; stocky stalk; strong, tight, 
thick shuck protecting the ears. Large ears, 16 close fitting 
rows of flinty, large, broad grain. Smooth dent; medium cob; 
weevil-resistant; 60% of the stalks have two ears. The Alabama 
Experiment Station says: “Wood’s Mexican June cannot be 
recommended too highly for early roasting ears and late plant¬ 
ing in any section of Alabama.” 
DOUTHIT’S PROLIFIC 
Matures in 131 days; 9 feet tall. The highest yielding corn 
on the sandy soil at the Pee Dee and Sandhill Experiment 
Stations in South Carolina. Small, deep white grain closely set 
on a small red cob.
