WOOD’S SEED WHEAT CAN DOUBLE YOUR YIELD 
Low prices necessitates maximu myields per acre to grow wheat profitably. 
The average wheat yield is only 15 bushels per acre. The farmers who plant 
Wood’s Treated Seed usually get several times this yield, because: 
1. Diseases reduce wheat yields in the South 25 to 50%. Wood’s Seed Wheat 
is treated with Ceresan, which controls bunt and most other diseases, increases 
germination, insures good stands, vigorous growth, taller, stronger stalks, 
larger heads and plumper grains. Wood’s Redhart No 3 and Forward are re¬ 
sistant to loose smut and rust, which are not controlled by any dust treatment. 
2. W’ood’s Seed Wheats are Grown from the Highest Yielding Strains Obtain¬ 
able. We have been breeding wheat 60 years. Most of the varieties now 
popular in the South were introduced by us. Our strains are included in every 
Southeastern State Experiment Station wheat test. Our selections are based on 
these tests. 
3. Wood’s Seed Wheat is Triple Cleaned, Free of Onions, Cockle and Other 
Noxious Weeds, 99'/ 2 % Pure, and Germinates 90 to 100%. Our wheat cleaning 
machinery has no equal. Others can fan wheat, removing chaff and dust, but 
no one else has shaker machines that remove shrivelled, diseased grains, wild 
onion bulblets and swollen damaged grains that won’t germinate. Our loss in 
cleaning seed wheat is 15 to 25%. Everything is removed but the heavy, 
plump grains that produce vigorous plants and bumper crops. 
Plant Wheat 1 / 2 bushels per acre on well drained clay or loam soils, about the 
time of the first killing frost. Do not sow wheat on heavy, poorly drained land. 
The soil should contain plenty of plant food. The seed bed should be fine, 
mellow, but firm. Use 300 pounds per acre of WOOD’S STANDARD WHEAT 
FERTILIZER. 
Willis, Culpeper Co., Va., says: “For 8 or 9 years WOOD'S FORWARD has been 
A Bumper Crop of TREATED CERTIFIED WOOD’S FORWARD WHEAT. H. H. 
yielding - consistently 30 to 45i bushels pe<r acre. It is by far the best wheat for 
Piedmont Virginia. Free from loose smut and stands up remarkably well.” 
WOOD’S FORWARD (Beardless) 
Recommended for Piedmont and Mountain Sections, and 
Northern States, Resistant to Rust and Loose Smut. 
It has less rust damage than any variety in our tests, and 
no trace of smut when most varieties had 10 to 15% blasted 
heads. One of the most winter resistant of all wheats. .Very 
heavy stooler. Its large heads have 3 to 4 big, plump grains 
to the mesh. Very large grain with high milling qualities. 
Taller straw than Redhart, yet stands up well. Medium 
early maturity. It made the highest yield of the 16 leading 
Southern Wheat varieties in the Columbia, South Carolina, 
Experiment Station test. 
"Wood’s Forward yielded 40 bushels per acre, while my neigh¬ 
bors made 8 to 14 under similar conditions with other varie¬ 
ties.”—J. H. Kennedy, Louisa Co., Va. 
"Wood’s Forward is a wonderful wheat for our N. C. Moun¬ 
tains. Severe rust cut the yield of another leading variety to 
14 bushels per acre. Forward was not affected, yielded 48 bus. 
and was 8 inches taller. I have grown it 4 years and won’t sow 
any other variety.”—M. Redmon, Madison Co., N. C. 
WOOD’S CERTIFIED REDHART 3 has long, 
heavy, compact heads, with four full rows of 
big, plumb grain of high milling quality. The 
glumes fit snugly over the grain, preventing 
shattering. Heads are held erect. It has a 
stronger stalk than most wheat. 
Wood's Certified Re: hart No. 3 
Beardless, Loose Smut Resistant, Rust Escep- 
ing, Heaviest Yielding and Earliest Maturing 
Wheat in Experiment Station Tests from 
Virginia to Georgia. 
Farmers from the Mountains to the Coast 
report it outyields all wheats in their neigh¬ 
borhood—frequently doubling the yield of 
other varieties. 
In the South Carolina Experiment Station 
tests for several years WOOD’S CERTIFIED 
REDHART No. 3 considerably outyielded 
Coker’s Redhart Strains 4 and 5. In the 
1938 test it made the highest yield (48 bush¬ 
els per acre), while Coker’s Redhart St. 4 
yielded 43 bushels per acre, and twelve other 
leading varieties averaged 28 bushels per acre. 
Redhart made the highest average yield 
per acre for nine years in the Georgia 
Coastal Experiment Station tests. 
It matures two to three weeks earlier than Leap’s Prolific, 
or Fulcaster, and a week earlier than Blue Stem or Gasta, 
ripening before hot weather and makes twice as much win¬ 
ter growth as bearded wheats, and a fourth more than other 
smooth wheats. It is the best wheat for winter grazing, 
cover crop or early spring hay. It is winter resistant. Stools 
well, is storm resistant and did not lodge during the very wet 
spring, when other wheats fell down. 
WOOD’S CERTIFIED LEAP’S PROLIFIC 
Originated by Us 35 Years Ago—Now the Most Popular 
Smooth Wheat in the East—710,000 Acres planted Annually. 
Wide Adaptation to Soil, Climate, Good and Bad Seasons. 
It made the highest yield in the 9-year Staunton, Va., Ex¬ 
periment Station test. It outyielded all smooth wheats in 
the Knoxville, Tenn., tests. It has the largest heads of any 
wheat—4 to 5 inches long—is the tallest, smooth wheat— 4 y 2 
feet—and is the best wheat for hay. 
N. J. Department of Agriculture says: “For 7 years Leap’s Prolific has consistently outyielded other varieties of wheat 
in all types of seasons, 3 to 20 bushels per acre—average increase 6.2 bushels per acre. In each test Certified Seed outyielded 
good commercial LEAP’S several bushels per acre. Most commercial Leap’s has “run out,” become mixed with inferior 
wheat varieties and rye, infested with smut and other diseases, and of poor germination. Cost of producing wheat is sharply 
reduced by planting Certified Leap’s Prolific.”
