WOOD’S CERTIFIED 
ABRUZZI RYE 
. Produces considerably more 
winter growth, pasturage and 
grain than ordinary Abruzzi 
Rye, which has become badly 
mixed and run out. The blade 
is broader, the growth taller 
and more vigorous. In the 
South Carolina Experiment 
Station tests it has consistent¬ 
ly outyielded Abruzzi from any 
of the South Carolina breeders, 
making the highest yield on 
record, 67.2 bu. per acre to 22.5 
bu. for Rosen Rye in one test.

ABRUZZI RYE 
Ys of the “True Abruzzi Rye” sold the last 3 years in a Southern State was grown by T. W. 
Wood & Sons, according to field tests by their Department of Agriculture. Of the samples 
taken from 28 shippers, 54% was judged “misbranded.” Buy Genuine Abruzzi from us. 
Grown by us from Certified 
Seed in isolated fields, field 
rogued and passed the thorough 
field inspection by State In¬ 
spectors to insure that it is 
genuine Abruzzi. As rye cross 
pollinates in the field like corn, 
about half of the ordinary com¬ 
mercial seed offered is badly 
mixed, or run out and practi¬ 
cally worthless for winter pas¬ 
ture. Since it is impossible to 
identify it by the grain, buy 
Wood’s Pedigree Abruzzi Rye 
to be sure you are getting 
genuine Abruzzi. 
SOW RYE 1% bus. per acre for grain, 
2 bus. for pasture, covering the seed % 
to 2 inches. Can be sown through Nov 
but early seeding is best for pasture.

WOOD’S PEDIGREE 
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 Pedigree 
Beardless Barley is grown from our pure, 
disease-free, head-selected, heavy-yield¬ 
ing Certified strain, and is carefully field 
rogued. It is field 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 pas¬ 
turage. 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. It is more 
resistant to smut than Bearded or No¬ 
barb Barley. 
WOOD’S NOBARB BARLEY 
Best winter Barley for winter pasture, 
hay or grain. Its awns are free of the 
sticky barbs which makes Bearded Bar¬ 
ley objectionable For four years it 
averaged 12% more grain and 26.4% 
more straw than Bearded Winter Barley, 
was 4 inches taller, more erect, broader 
leaves, more fall and winter growth and 
matured earlier. It is rapidly replacing 
beardless and bearded barley. It made 
68 bus. per acre, highest barley yield in 
a Williamsburg, Va., Experiment Station 
test. In the Augusta, Va., test, it made 
53.4 bus. per acre to 38.2 for beardless 
and 41 for bearded barley. 
“Wood’s Nobarb Barley yielded 52 
bus. of beautiful bright grain per acre— 
2% times as much as local wheat yield¬ 
ed. It is a wonderful winter grain crop 
for this section.”—Senator H. T. Wick¬ 
ham, Hanover Co., Va. 
Sam: "Whar ye git dat black eye?” 
Zeke: ‘‘Dat widder meet lass week ain’t 
no widder!” 
Wood’s Barley is Ceresan Treated Free 
Untreated barley is weakened by seedling blight, scab and 
other diseases, easily winter kills and results in a poor crop 
or complete failure. Smut alone usually destroys ^/4 to % 
of the crop. The only sure seed treatment is Ceresan. Do 
not plant barley unless treated with Ceresan. Sow Barley 
2 bus. per acre for grain; 3 bus. for hay or grazing, in Sept, 
or Oct. Graze off excess fall growth. 
Wood’s Pedigree Seeds Increase Profits 
They produce 15 to 35% higher yields than ordinary seed. 
Crops grown from Pedigree seed always sell at a higher 
price. Grown by us from the highest producing Certified 
strains obtainable, they are carefully field inspected by the 
State Crop Improvement Association to insure trueness to 
type, purity, freedom from noxious weeds and disease. Germ¬ 
ination over 90%. The additional cost of Wood’s Pedigree 
Seed is insignificant compared to the extra profit. 
Experiments show cottonseed oil is equal to ordinary refuse 
grease for making soap at home. Fill a pot with cottonseed, 
mash with a wooden mallet, boil in strong lie for a perfect soap. 
Wood’s Pedigree Beardless Barley yielded 62 bushels per 
acre to 39 bu. for two lots of winter barley from Tennessee 
in the South Carolina Experiment Station test.
