Wood's OUTSTANDING VARIETIES 
OF MERIT ... 
FOR THE FARM 
SRR REECE RRR eee 
Ladino Clover 
This clover, though a comparative newcomer to the United States, has 
gained rapidly in favor and use since its introduction here. It has proven itself 
to be very adaptable to the varied growing conditions which exist throughout 
the Eastern and Southern states. Unaffected by wilt, a low thick growing, 
shallow rooted perennial, which spreads rapidly, and withstands heavy pas- 
turing. As rich in food value as Alfalfa, and preferred to Alfalfa by most live- 
stock. We believe it is destined to become the new clover for the South, and 
bids fair to replace Lespedeza, White Dutch, Alsike, and other clovers in this 
section—see page 49 for prices and further description. 
Wood's Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane 
The most outstanding of all the Sorghums for syrup, silage, hay or pasture. 
No other sorghum will make such a tremendous leafy growth. See page 59 
for prices and further description, 
Wood's Wilt-Resistant Ramshorn Peas 
Since we introduced these wilt-resistant peas two years ago, they give 
promise of taking the place of all other Blackeye Peas on the market. They 
are larger Size than any Blackeye Peas, are superior in flavor and cooking 
qualities. One grower reports this year, “In spite of extremely wet weather to 
start and no rain later, the Giant strain has excited the most comment due to 
the extra large peas.” See page 61 for prices and further description. 
Extra Early Wood's Yellow Soy Beans 
Our contract growers of this new bean for the past two years have been high 
in their praise, claiming their yields far in excess of any bean they have ever 
grown and far above the average in their vicinity. Its extreme earliness (100 
to 110 days) makes it a well adapted yellow bean for high altitudes and plant- 
ing after grain. Excellent for hay, having medium size stalk and leafy growth. 
Like Wood’s Yellow it bears beans from the ground to the top of plant. Highly 
shatterproof. See page 62 for prices and further information, 
Alyce Clover 
In sections having average moisture the past season, this new clover has 
lived up to our highest expectations. Primarily a hay and soil improving crop, 
also furnishing fine summer and fall pasturage. The hay is of such fine quality, 
maintaining its leaves, fragrance and green color for a year after harvest. 
See pages 48 and 50 for prices and further description. 
Chippewa and Katahdin Potatoes 
For the home garden there are none better. Have shallow eyes, fine smooth 
appearance, and excellent eating qualities. We suggest the Chippewa for early 
planting and Katahdin for later planting during April or May. See pages 64 and 
65 for prices and further information.

Wood's Hybrid Corns 
For over 68 years T. W. Wood & Sons have been 
producing “TESTED SEEDS” for the Southern 
Farmer. 
We are the largest producers of hybrid seed corn 
in the South. Over 5,000 acres of the best soil avail- 
able in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, 
South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania 
are used to produce Wood’s Hybrid Seed Corn, for 
breeding or test plots. Because of these widespread 
growing areaS we can give you a hybrid suitable to 
your soil, climate and growing conditions. 
Our plant breeder and his expert assistants are 
working on thousands of southern corn inbreeding 
and experimental tests each year. This year they 
made over 75,000 hand pollinations and have 5,867 
inbred lines in topcross tests. 
The production of a hybrid requires a preponder- 
ance of research and Statistics. There is more to 
producing a good hybrid than just yield. A good stiff 
strong stalk to withstand windstorms and make husk- 
ing easier; heavy deep roots to anchor the stalk and 
go deep in the soil for moisture and plant food that 
ordinary corn cannot reach; and shuck protection 
against weevil damage are all important factors. High 
yield means nothing if the grain quality is low. Breed- 
ing of lines resistant to certain insects and plant 
disease is also important. 
Our plant breeder has made a life study of corn 
and has every facility, regardless of cost, to study 
and improve agricultural conditions for the Southern 
farmers. 
Our grading machine is especially designed to grade 
out all irregular, small, shriveled and damaged ker- 
nels. Only the plump, healthy seed is kept. This is 
regraded over a length grader for uniform depth, length 
and thickness. This assures you of uniform planting. 
Our experiments, tests, and findings are free to you, 
and we want you to feel free to use them whenever 
needed. Address your inquiries to Plant Breeding Depart- 
ment and we will gladly assist you whenever possible. 
See pages 52, 53, 54, 55 for description and adaptability of 
our hybrids, with prices, 
Daltapine 12 (D. & P.L. 12) Cotton 
A cotton of proven merit. An improvement over the fa- 
mous Deltapine 11, having produced in an average 4-year 
yield test 8% more lint per acre. Staple ranging from 
1-1/32” to 1-1/8”. Deltapine 12 has made an excellent 
record in variety tests at various experiment stations 
throughout the cotton belt, and has given excellent satis- 
faction on the farms of growers on which it has been 
planted. Was first in yield at the Edisto Station at Black- 
ville, S. C., and second at the Pee Dee Experiment Sta- 
tion, Florence, S. C., having been outyielded only by 2 
non-commercial Deltapine strain. See page 66,
