NOtES OF INTEREST 
W* REGRET that our catalog has been delayed this year, but under existing conditions it 
has been impossible to mail it sooner. During August and September we have had an un- 
precedented demand for all seeds, particularly seen grain. This demand has caused a shortage 
on many items, with an early sellout predicted this season. We also wish to advise that this 
enormous demand for seeds has put us several days behind in filling orders, this particularly 
being due to the acute shortage of 
labor in this section. We might 
also call the attention of our cus- 
tomers to the slow deliveries by the 
railroad companies. Under these 
circumstances we believe it wise 
for our customers to order their 
seed supplies promptly to cover the 
delay in shipping and transporta- 
tion. 
SEED OATS 
The heavy freeze which we experienced in 
many sections of the East in late February 
caused winter-killing of many acres of oats. 
This condition has affected materially the sup- 
ply of oats for fall planting and stocks are 
unusually short. 
WOOD’S WINTER RYE 
At this time stocks of Abruzzi Rye are prac- 
tically at a vanishing point, and as a substi- 
tute we suggest the use of our Wood’s Winter 
Rye, which is of exceptionally fine quality, 
heavily recleaned, running 99% purity and 
over 90% germination. We have supplied 
Wood’s Winter Rye for many years to our 
trade and it has given exceptionally fine re- 
sults. We consider it the best sustitute for 
Abruzzi Rye this season. It will not grow 
off quite as quickly as Abruzzi, but makes a 
very tall growth and good grain yield. Prices 
on Wood’s Winter Rye are most reasonable 
and it is an economical crop to put in during 
September, October and early November, for 
winter cover and grazing. 
HAIRY VETCH 
LEADING HEADQUARTERS for Seed Oats, 
Prospects are for a very short crop, well 
under that existing the past several years and 
higher prices than usual are existing this 
season. AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS, on the 
contrary, are in ample supply and Govern- 
ment support of prices will hold values steady 
this season. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
Crimson Clover is estimated to be about 
25% to 30% less than produced last season. 
-There will no doubt be a very large demand 
for Crimson for sowing in the various areas 
and values doubtless will hold very firm to 
higher during September and October. The 
quality of Crimson this year is exception- 
ally fine bright seed, being well above average, 
and testing over 99% pure and 85% to 90% 
germination. 
SEED WHEAT 
Yields this season are disappointing in many 
localities. There should be an enormous de- 
mand on account of Government restrictions 
on acreage being lifted. We anticipate quite 
a shortage of seed wheat available for plant- 
ing in the East this fall. 
In the drought areas where early feed and 
grazing are quickly needed, we suggest our 
WOOD’S GRAIN PASTURE MIXTURE and 
WOOD’S GRAIN HAY MIXTURE. For years 
they have given exceptionally fine results and 
will produce the quickest hay and grazing 
crops that can be put in during September 
and early October. 
For permanent hay and ‘pasture crops, WOOD’S SPECIAL GRASS AND CLOVER MIXTURES, Numbers 1 to 9 are highly 
_ recommended. 
Barley and Rye of the latest improved strains; 
Onion Sets and Garden Seeds. 
WOOD'S SEED WHEAT—Triple cleaned, treated 
and ready to plant. Will give bumper crops.
