WOOD’S SOUTHERN GROWN PROLIFIC CORNS 
The maturity dates in this catalog’ are based on averages of our tests, but vary in different seasons and locations. 
Wood’s Southern Sno-wilake Corn 
Wood’s Southern Snowflake 
big yielding early roasting ear corn, but if left to mature yields 
about as well as most field corns. For six years we made selec¬ 
tions from only strong, vigorous stalks bearing two large ears. 
The ears are 8 to 9 inches long, sound, and have 16 rows of large, 
deep grains on a small white cob. Does well on all soils. The 
Florida Experiment Station rejjorts; “As much Wood’s Southern 
Snowflake is planted in Florida as all other roasting ear corns 
combined. Its long twisted shuck protects the ears from worms. 
It yielded 5,000 pounds of roasting ears per acre, the highest of 
31 leading varieties tested; 80 per cent of the stalks had two big 
ears averaging a pound each.”
