“WOOD’S SUPEK-ABRUZZX RYE produced .38 bushels of grain per acre, the highest yield I ever 
heard Abruzzi Rye make. Although planted late, it started growing immediately—stooled out un¬ 
usually well-—and made more fall and winter growth than any other grain crop I ever saw. It never 
stopped growing from the time it came up until it ripened. Its strong stalks—over 6 feet tall—stood 
up well under its large, heavy heads.’’ 
WOOD’S SUPER- 
ABRUZZI RYE 
Far Outyelds Ordinary 
Abruzzi Rye 
An improved strain we are 
offering this year for the first 
time, that produced larger 
yields of grain and y 2 to % 
more fall and winter growth 
than ordinary Abruzzi. It 
matures two weeks earlier, is 
more winter hardy. As we 
have only a small amount to 
offer this fall and its seed 
should bring a big price next 
year, we suggest placing 
your order immediately. 
Wood’s Certified 
Abruzzi Rye 
Although not as heavy 
yielding as our Super-Abruz- 
zi, produces considerably 
more winter growth, pastur¬ 
age and grain than ordinary 
Abruzzi Rye, which has be¬ 
come badly mixed and run 
out. The blade is broader, 
the growth taller and more 
vigorous. In the South Caro¬ 
lina Experiment Station tests 
it has consistently outyielded 
Abruzzi from any of the 
South Carolina breeders. 
ABRUZZI RYE is attacked by fewer insects and diseases and does better 
on light acid land than any other grain. It is hardier than wheat, can be 
sown two weeks later, uses less nitrogen, the straw is more valuable for feed, 
makes a larger, earlier, more upright growth and better grazing. 
DRILL iy 2 bushels per acre for grain, 2 bus. for pasture, from Sept, to Nov. 
WOOD’S NOBARB BARLEY 
A smooth awn bearded barley that out- 
yields both Beardless and Bearded Winter 
Barley. A cross between Velvet and Beard¬ 
ed Winter, developed in the Southeast under 
severe winter conditions. 
Senator H. T. Wickham, Hanover Co., Va.: 
“33 acres of Wood’s Nobarb Barley threshed out 
over 1,156 bushels of beautiful bright grain— 
about twice the yield of my wheat with the 
same seed bed and fertilizer. The barley grew 
vigorously, stood the winter well, and had no 
sign of rust, blight, blackhead or other disease. 
The straw was tough and strong, only 4 inches 
shorter than the wheat.’’ 
South Carolina Experiment Station: “Bearded 
varieties of barley outyielded all other varie¬ 
ties. In the Corn Belt, Velvet, a barbless 
bearded variety, has replaced bearded barley 
with barbs. We may grow smooth bearded 
varieties in the Southeast that outyield our 
bearless varieties.” 
Maryland Experiment Station: "The awns of 
Nobarb are free of the sharp barbs which make 
Bearded Winter Barley so disagreeable to men 
and animals. Its awn are fragile and complete¬ 
ly removed in thrashing and less objectionable 
to harvest than bearded wheat. For 4 years 
Nobarb has outyielded Beardless and Bearded 
Winter Barley in yield of grain, winter pasture 
and hay—straw is taller and stiffer—and earlier. 
“Wood’s Certified Beardless Barley made over 50 bushels per acre in a severe 
season when other grains yielded only 10 to 12 bushels. It should be the chief 
small grain crop in this section.”—D. H. Crosby, Co. Agent, Essex Co., Va.

WOOD’S CERTIFIED BEARDLESS BARLEY 
Beardless Barley usually contains 25% to 50% bearded heads, is 
badly infested with disease and noxious weeds and is worthless for 
seed. WOOD’S CERTIFIED BEARLESS BARLEY is grown from our 
pure, disease-free, head-selected, heavy-yielding strain, and is care¬ 
fully field rogued. It is field and bin inspected by the State Crop 
Improvement Association—assuring its freedom from bearded heads, 
disease and noxious weeds. It yields 45 to 65 bushels per acre, twice 
as much as wheat. It can be harvested two weeks before wheat, 
oats or rye, in time to plant summer crops. It is more winter hardy 
than ordinary Beardless Barley or Oats and furnishes more hay and 
pasturage. Vigorous fall and winter growth. Excellent stooler. The 
most nutritious and palatable grain for feed—with the highest protein 
content. Its straw is as valuable for feed as hay. 
Wood’s Pedigree Bearded Winter Barley 
Yields twice as much as wheat. Earlier maturing and more winter 
hardy than oats. An excellent winter grazing, cover and grain crop. 
Although not as heavy yielding as Wood’s Nobarb Barley, it out- 
yielded all bearded and beardless barleys in the South Carolina tests 
for several years. 
WOOD’S SEED BARLEY IS TREATED WITH CERESAN. Federal and State authorities warn that untreated barley seed 
is weakened by seedling blight, scab, stripe, and other diseases, easily winter-kills, and results in a poor crop or complete fail¬ 
ure. Smut alone usually destroys % to y 2 of the crop. The only sure seed treatment is Ceresan. Other treatments w-eaken 
the seed and do not give complete protection from disease. Do not plant barley unless treated with Ceresan. SOW BARLEY 
2 bushels per acre for grain; 3 bushels for hay or grazing, preferably in September. Graze off excess fall growth.
