Notes of Interest 
UR FALL CATALOG will be somewhat 
O delayed, owing to existing conditions, and 
we expect will be mailed to our customers 
about the 15th to 20th of September. This 
Catalog will give full information about Gar- 
den Seeds for Fall planting; also bulbs, and 
Seeds for the farm. On this account and due 
to shortages of many seed items, particularly 
grain, we are sending this Price Edition of 
WOOD’S CROP SPECIAL, giving up-to-date 
value on all farm seeds. The acute drought 
which we are experiencing in many sections of 
the East, which has destroyed a large acreage 
of soybeans and corn, as well as other crops, 
is causing a tremendous demand for Abruzzi 
Rye, Barley and Seed Oats. Stocks of these 
grains are in very short supply and we believe 
that our customers would act wisely in an- 
ticipating their needs earlier than usual this 
season. 
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. 
ABRUZZI RYE 
The crop this year, in our estimation, is only 
about 50% to 60% of normal. Many crops 
were ruined by farmers being unable to com- 
bine early sowing to the shortage of labor, and 
many crops were ruined by heavy storms just 
after the crop was matured in June, which the 
farmers were unable to save. 
HAIRY VETCH 
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 early 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. 
LEADING HEADQUARTERS for Seed Oats, 
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.
