Wood’s Certified Redhart No. 3 Wheat makes bumper crops. H. R. Sampson, Westmoreland Co., Va., says: “After gprowing it 
several years I find it outyields them all. It made 45 bus. per acre. I would not plant any other variety.” 
Wood’s Seed Wheat 
N. C. Dept. Agriculture; “Only 20% 
of the grain ground for flour in North 
Carolina comes from Tar Heel farms, be¬ 
cause of low quality and yield.” 
Va Experiment Station: “The aver¬ 
age state wheat yield of 14 bus. per acre 
can easily be raised to 20 or 25 by using 
crop rotation, fertilizer and the proper 
varieties of high quality SEED.” 
Farmers who plant Wood’s Ceresau 
Treated Seed Wheat usually get twice the 
yield of their neighbors and the crop 
brings a better price at the mill because: 
1. Wood’s Seed Wheats are grown 
from the highest yieiding strains obtaiii- 
abie, backed by our 61 years’ breeding. 
2. Germinate 90 to 100%. Triple 
cleaned over the best wheat cleaning 
machinery, free of noxious weeds, dam¬ 
aged and weevil cut grain. Our clean¬ 
ing loss is 15 to 25%. Everything is re¬ 
moved but heavy, plump grains that pro¬ 
duce vigorous plants and bumper crops. 
3. Ceresan Treatment controls bunt 
and most other diseases, increases germ¬ 
ination, insures good stands, vigorous 
growth, taller, stronger stalks, larger 
heads and plumper grains. Wood’s Red- 
hart 3 and Forward are resistant to loose 
smut and rust, not controlled by du.st. 
Plant Wheat 1'/^ bus. per acre after 
first killing frost on a mellow but firm 
seed bed. Do not sow on heavy, poorly 
drained land Use 300 lbs. per acre of 
Wood’s Standard Grain Fertilizer. 
Certified Leap’s Prolific 
Most popular smooth wheat in the east. 
710,000 acres planted annually. Wide 
adaptation to soU climate, good and bad 
seasons, especially in the Piedmont. It 
made the highest yield in the 14-year 
Staunton, Va., Experiment Station test. 
It outyielded all smooth wheats in the 
Knoxville, Tenn., tests. It has the larg¬ 
est heads of any wheat—4 to 5 inches 
long—is the tallest, smooth wheat—4^/4 
feet—best wheat for hay. Cold proof 
Wood’s Certified Redhart 3 
Beardless, Loose Smut Resistant, Rust 
Escaping, Heaviest Yieflding and Earliest 
Maturing Wheat in Experiment Station 
Tests from Virginia to Georgia, frequent¬ 
ly doubling the yield of other varieties. 
In the South Carolina 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 bushels per acre, 
while twelve other leading varieties aver¬ 
aged 28 bushels per acre. Redhart made 
the highest average yield per acre for 13 
years in the Georgia tests, as well as the 
Alabama tests It matures two weeks 
earlier than other wheats, ripening be¬ 
fore hot weather aud makes twice as 
much winter 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. Has long, heavy, compact 
heads, with four full rows of big, plump 
grain of high milling quality. The glumes 
fit snugly over the grain, preventing 
shattering. Heads are held erect. 
“It made 46 bus. acre, best yield I ever 
got.” L. C. Mo.seley, Brunswick Co., Va 
“Wood’s Rdhart 3 made 32 bus. per 
acre, a record yield in these sandhills, 
where wheat usually makes 10 to 15 bus.” 
W. C. Terry, .Tr., Richmond Co., N. C. 
Pedigree V. P. I. No. 131 
Bearded—Best wheat for low land sub¬ 
ject to rust. Heaviest yield and largest 
grain of any bearded wheat. Tall straw. 
Elxtremely winter resistant. An improved 
heavier yielding strain of Fulcaster, 
which made the highest average yield 
for 9 years in the N. C. Mountain Ex¬ 
periment Station tests. One of the best 
wheats for all conditions or seasons. 
“Wood’s V. P. I. No. 131 is the ideal 
wheat for this county, with much better 
yield and grain than others.”—J. B. 
Whitehead, Nelson, Va., Co. Agent. 
Certified Wood’s Forward 
(Beardless)—Recommended for Pied¬ 
mont, Mountain and Northern States, Re¬ 
sistant to rust and ioose 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 aU 
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 Red¬ 
hart, yet stands up well. Medium early 
maturity. Made the best yield in the 
Va. Mountain test and the most straw, 
2.2 tons per acre, to 1.3 for Stoner. 
“Wood’s Forward yielded 40 bus. per 
acre, while my neighbors made 8 to 14, 
imder similar conditions with other varie¬ 
ties.”—J. H. Kennedy, Louisa Co., Va. 
“It yielded 53.3 bushels per acre. Large, 
long heads with big, plump grain. I 
coimted 1,182 grains from one plant.” 
M. O. Jones, Anderson Co , S. C. 
“Wood’s Forward is a wonderful wheat 
for our N. C. Mountains. 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. After 4 years I won’t sow any¬ 
thing else.” M. Redmon, Madison, N. C. 
Certified Dixie Purplestraw 
(Smooth)—U. S. Dept. Agriculture: 
“We strongly recommended Dixie Purple- 
straw for the South, because of its ex¬ 
treme earliness, escaping rust damage.” 
Highest yielding wheat in the Arlington 
Experiment Station tests. Matures 10 
days ahead of Leap’s or Fulcaster, escap¬ 
ing hot weather and rust. It stools bet¬ 
ter than Redhart and is more winter re¬ 
sistant. Highest yield in the Appomat¬ 
tox, Va., test and outyielded other popu¬ 
lar wheats % in the Edisto, S. C., test. 
Dr. J. O. Sanders won $25.00 first prize 
in the Anderson Co., S. C., 2-acre wheat con¬ 
test with Wood’s Dixie Purple Straw, 46.5 
bus. per acre. Coker’s Redhart made 43.5 bu. 
“Wood’s Dixie Purplesrraw outyields all 
wheats in this section. I have grown it 5 
years. Now almost everyone here plants 
it.’’—T. C. Hosea, Cherokee Co., Ga.
