WOOD'S SEEDS 
AGAIN IN CLASS A STANDING 
4 According to the Virginia State Department of Agri- 
culture Standing of Field Seed Dealers for 1940. 
This record is based upon the percentage of official samples of agri- 
cultural seeds that were found to be completely and correctly labeled 
with analysis as required hy law. 
196 samples of Wood’s Seeds were officially drawn and tested and 
95.92% correctly labeled. This is the highest percentage of 51 seedsmen 
supplying seeds in the State of Virginia, having over 55 samples tested. 
This is truly an official recognition of the high standard of Wood’s Seeds 
and is the farmers assurance that they can be depended upon to give 
_the utmost satisfaction in both quality and yield. 
Wood’s Treated Seed Oats 
COLUMBIA SPRING OATS 
Outstanding Yielder of Grain and Hay 
An early maturing and heavy yielding spring oat. A selection from Fulghum. 
Seven to ten days earlier, more uniform, taller, more erect, larger heads, 
heavier, plumper grain, and can be planted a week later and still mature 
before hot weather and rust damage. It yielded 79 bushels per acre while 
other spring planted oats yielded 40 to 55 bushels. Large, heavy, well-filled 
heads, reddish gray color, awnless. Already the leading spring oat in the 
South. Far superior to Burt for both hay and grain. 
Swedish Select 
The heavied yielding, extra heavy, plump, white oat for which cattlemen 
and horse breeders always pay a substantial premium. Its tall stalks and 
tremendous heads yield heavy crops of both grain and hay in cooler mountain 
sections and northern states. 



Left: Smut-infected oats. Right: Ceresan Treated. 
Wood’s Seed Oats are treated with Ceresan to prevent 
smut and other diseases, insure good stands, vigorous 
growth, taller stalks, larger heads and to greatly in- 
creae yields per acre.

Virginia Second Crop Red Bliss 
WOOD’S PEDIGREE BRAND 
Grown from Certified seed. <A better yielder than northern 
grown, stronger grower and on account of its size, more eco- 
nomical to plant. The seed potatoes are not as large as northern 
grown, but are just the right size for planting whole or cut in 
three pieces, and will plant further than larger potatoes, 
CHUFA 
With the increasing interest in hog-raising in the South, there 
should be a corresponding increasing interest in hog-feeding 
crops that are about equal 
to corn in feeding value, 
and that can be fed cheap- 
er. Hoys not only fatten 
quickly on them, but the

CERTIFIED CHIPPEWA POTATOES 
A Prize Winner 
Their smooth appearance and fine table quality give them pref- 
erence Over all other varieties for spring planting. Won first 
prize and also special prize for the best exhibit of Irish potatoes 
at Pet a one State Fair in 1940. Also first prize in the 1938 
and 1 f 
This outstanding potato was developed by the U, S. Department 
Earth Almonds 
or Grass Nuts 

of Agriculture with the object in view of having a potato with the 
general features of the Cobbler, extra earliness, but with shallow 
eyes, instead of the deep eyes of the Cobbler. Chippewa is re- 
sistant to disease, and in official tests from Maine to Florida it 
has yielded consistently higher than Cobbler and Green Mountain. 
We first introduced Chippewa three years ago and reports from 
our customers are of the highest praise. From our seed grown in 
Caroline County, Va., for three successive years, Chippewa won 
first prize at the Virginia State Fair. On the Richmond market 
they have been commanding a large premium over other varieties 
and housewives are more than pleased with their fine eating 
qualities and appearance. Maturity slightly later than Irish 
Cobbler. .Don’t fail to plant Chippewas this spring.

.I ordered a bag of your Chippewa Potatoes last spring. 
While I got them planted two weeks late I got the best 
jeld I’ve ever been able to get from any potato. I dug 
6 bushels from this bag of 24 bushels, planted April 5th. 
“On 14 bushels I-used more fertilizer.as an experiment and 
got 614 bushels. I’ll say this is the best yield—the larg- 
est potato and the most attractive looking I ever saw.—

meat is sweeter than when 
corn-fed; some claim it is 
equal to that cf peanut- 
ted hogs. , 
Any land suitable for 
corn, cotton or peanuts 
will make a profitable crop 
of chufas, but they do best 
on light sandy soils. Plant 
from April 1st till July 1st 
in 2% to 3-foot rows, drop- 
ping three to five chufas 
together, 15 te 18 inches 
apart in the row, and cover 
2 inches deep. In the fall 
pull a few plants with the 
roots and give your hogs 
and poultry a taste, and 
they will go over the en- 
tire field and will attend to 
the harvesting. 1 to 1%
