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. 
WOOD’S PEDIGREE 
ABRUZZI RYE 
Grown by us from Certified 
Seed in isolated fields, and field 
rogued to insure that it is gen¬ 
uine 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 Bye 
to be sure you are getting 
genuine Abruzzi. 
Ys of the “True Abruzzi Bye” 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 “m isbranded.” Buy from us and be sure of get¬ 
ting Genuine Ablaizzi. 
SUPER-ABRUZZI 
The Best Winter Pasture Crop 
An improved strain of Abruz¬ 
zi that makes more fall and winter 
growth, is more winter hardy, two 
weeks’ earlier, grows taller, and produces 
% more fall and winter grazing. It is 
a heavy grain producer, considerably out- 
yielding ordinary Abruzzi particularly in 
the Piedmont and Mountains. A cus¬ 
tomer says: “It made the highest yield 
1 ever heard Rye make. Although plant¬ 
ed late, it started growing immediately— 
stooled out unusually 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.” 
SOW BYE 1% bus. per acre for grain, 
2 bus. for pasture, covering the seed Yz 
to 2 inches. Can be sown from August 
to November, but early seeding is best 
for pasture. 
WOOD’S 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. Al¬ 
though not as heavy yielding as 
Wood’s Nobarb Barley, it outyielded 
all bearded and beardless barleys in 
the South Carolina tests for several 
years, including the best strains from 
Tennessee, Georgia and South Caro¬ 
lina. 
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 
Beardless Barley is grown from our pure, 
disease-free, head-selected, heavy-yield¬ 
ing strain, and is carefully 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 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 
A smooth awn bearded barley that is 
rapidly replacing Beardless and Bearded 
Winter Barley. A cross between Velvet 
and Bearded Winter, developed in the 
Southeast under severe winter conditions. 
Maryland Experiment Station: “The 
awns of Nobarb are free of the sharp 
barbs which make Bearded Winter Bar¬ 
ley so disagreeable to men and animals. 
Its awns are fragile and completely re¬ 
moved in thrashing and less objection¬ 
able 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 maturing.” 
“Wood’s Nobarb Barley yielded 52 
bus. of beautiful bright grain per acre— 
2Yz 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. 
> A* *** 
Wood’s Seed Barley is treated with 
Ceresan. Untreated barley is weak¬ 
ened by seedling blight, scab and other 
diseases, easly winter kills and results 
in a poor crop or complete failure. 
Smut alone usually destroys Y. to Y> 
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, the last of 
Aug. or Sept. Graze off excess fall 
growth. 
Wood’s Certified Benrdless Barley yielded 62 bushels per acre to 39 bu. for two 
lots of winter barley from Tennessee in the South Carolina Experiment Station test.
