Wood’s Treated Seed Wheat will materially increase your yield of better quality crops 
Wood’s Redhart Wheat 
The most popular wheat grown from 
Virginia to Georgia. In a little over 6 
years Redhart has stepped into first 
place over all other varieties, which 
proves its adaptability and high yielding 
qualities. Of all the wheats produced in 
this section it tops them all in test 
weight per bushel. It is a rarity that 
any farmers run seed will weigh under 
59 pounds per measured bushel and the 
majority from 60 to 61 pounds. 
Redhart is the earliest maturing om all 
varieties grown in the East, a beardless 
wheat, rust-resisting and in a large: ma- 
jority of official state field tests has been 
at the top. Last year it stood second in 
Mississippi Experiment Station test, 
yielding 40.4 bushels per acre, first being 
Hardired, yielding 41 bushels per acre. 
Matures about two weeks earlier than 
Leap’s, Forward or Fulcaster, and one 
week earlier than Purple Straw. Makes 
the largest winter growth of all wheats 
and is best for winter grazing. 
Wood’s Leap’s Prolific Wheat 
An outstanding favorite in Virginia 
and Northern States. A smooth wheat, 
having the largest head of any wheat. 
Heavy yielder, winter hardy, and tallest 
eas of any variety, making it the 
est wheat for hay. Our Leap’s is grown 
from head selected strain and will con- 
siderably outyield ordinary Leap’s Pro- 
lific Wheat. Field inspection reports this 
season show it remarkably free of dis- 
ease and marked uniformity in growth. 
Registered Hardired Wheat 
A new beardless, medium-early matur- 
ing wheat, about a week later than Red- 
hart No. 3, and a week to ten days earlier 
than Leap’s Prolific, Forward and Ful- 
caster. Heads are long, square, and well 
filled, straw stiff. Can be harvested with 
minimum loss. It is cold and mildew re- 
sistant, with a high tolerance to leaf 
rust. On one 153-acre field this strain 
overaged 3314 bushels per acre. One field 
produced better than 40 bushels per acre. 
In Mississippi Experiment test last year 
it stood first, yielding 41 bushels per acre. 
Its winter hardiness, high production, 
mildew resistance, and rust tolerance 
should make it a valuable southern wheat. 
Wood’s Forward Wheat 
Best wheat for the upper Piedmont, 
Mountain and Northern States. A smooth 
variety, resistant to rust, loose smut and 
highly winter hardy. Has a taller straw 
than Redhart, stands up well and pro- 
duces large plump grains of high mill- 
ing qualities. 
Wood’s V. P. I. No. 131 Wheat 
A bearded wheat, which is a very con- 
sistent yielder over a period of years. 
Makes a tall straw, very winter hardy 
and highly rust resistant. Particularly 
well adapted for lowlands and the higher 
altitudes. Has probably the largest 
berry of all other red wheats. 
Certified Seed 
Working in conjunction with the Vir- 
ginia Crop Improvement Association for 
a great many years we are now the larg- 
est growers of certified seed grain in the 
Eastern States. The standards set by 
this Association are very high and must 
meet the following specifications: 
1. Crops must be grown from certified 
seed. 
2. Fields must be clean of varietal mix- 
ture, noxious weeds and other crops be- 
fore inspection is made. 
38. Field inspection must not show more 
than 0.5 of 1% of varietal mixture. 
4. Fields must not show more than 1% 
(1.0) disease transmissible by the seed. 
However, no stinking smut will be al4 
lowed. Fields must not contain more 
than 15/100 (0.15) of 1% other crop 
plants, with the exception that there can 
be no rye in wheat. 
5. Seed must not contain more than 
two (2) onion or one (1) cockle per lb. 
6. Seed after official bin inspection 
must show purity of 99%, except rye, 
98%, and germination 90%. 
The cost of certified seed is naturally 
slightly higher than other seed grains, as 
there is considerably more work attached 
to the field inspections made, in order to 
comply with the certification require- 
ments. Certified seed carries official cer- 
tification tags of the Crop Improvement 
Association for your assurance in obtain- 
ing high yielding, well adapted, true to 
type strains of seed grain. 
A FEW UNSOLICITED LETTERS FROM GROWERS ABOUT WOOD’S SEED GRAINS 
“T sowed my entire crop of your seed 
wheat last fall, and so far it is the best 
field of wheat in the country. Several 
have guessed that it will make from 40 
to 50 bushels to the acre.’’—W. B. Marion, 
Surry, Co; N. C: 
“TI bought some Certified Redhart 
Wheat seed from you last fall, which 
has given me a field the envy of the 
neighborhood.’—Joseph W. Beard, M, D., 
Durham Co., N. C. 
“IT planted Lee Cold Proof Oats last 
September 28th and got a good fall 
growth. The ‘winter shriveling and 
browning up a good many of the stalks 
caused them to look badly until May Ist, 
when they came through and yielded me 
70 bushels to the acre. Neighbors com- 
mented on them as being the best look- 
ing oats they had ever seen.’’—J. T. C. 
Hopkins & Son, Cecil Co., Md. 
“My Redhart Wheat yielded 46 bus. 
per acre this year, the highest yield that 
I have ever made. I bought this wheat 
from you two years ago and planted it 
two years.’—C. L. Moseley, Brunswick 
Co., Va.

“My experience with your Beardless 
Barley has shown a very desirable crop, 
outyielding any other barley which I 
have been able to secure.’—W. B, Rod- 
man, Jr., Beaufort Co., N. C. 
“T harvested 1094 bushels of barley, 
Certified Beardless, from two acres.’— 
L. T, Calloway, Morgan Co., Ga. 
“We have a 15-acre field of the Red- 
hart Certified Wheat which we bought 
from you that is without a doubt the 
finest field we have ever seen grow in 
our state. This wheat is all one height, 
turning ripe now, and there is positively 
not one hill of anything but wheat in the 
entire field. It will be ready for the 
combine the . 20th to 22nd.”’—-Simon 
Brown's: Sons, Barnwell Co., S. C 
“Last year I ordered your Certified 
Redhart Wheat. The wheat yielded 32 
bus. to the acre. This record is consid- 
ered unusually good in our section of the 
North Carolina sand hills, where produc- 
tion is generally 10 to 15 bus. per acre,”
