WOOD’S MAINE GROWN IRISH COBBLER 
POTATOES : 
The most outstanding variety for market gardeners. Earliest 
maturing and most dependable for both spring and summer plant- 
ing. Its popularity is due to its extreme earliness, making few, if 
any, very small potatoes, practically all being medium to large 
size. The tubers are round to oval in shape, slightly flattened, and 
have strong well developed eyes, : 
MAINE GROWN 
RED BLISS 
To those who prefer a po- 
tato with a pink skin and 
white flesh, or those who 
grow for markets where 
this color is in demand; we 
recommend Red Bliss. It 
is one of the very earliest, 
nearly round, peels without 
waste and a fine yielder. 
It is a sure and uniform 
cropper, a strong grower, 
is of good size, cooks 
white and mealy and 
measures up to every re- 
quirement of a first-class 
first early potato. Its pro- 
ductiveness and fine qual- 
ity commend it. | 

Potato Planting Recommendations by the Virginia 
Extension Division 
Maximum yields per acre at a low unit cost of production should 
be the aim of every grower. To that end the following recom- 
mendations are made: ; 
Plant only such land to potatoes as will normally produce 50 
barrels or more of No. 1 potatoes per acre. 
Wherever possible, turn under a green manure crop. Experi- 
ments at the Virginia Truck Experiment Station show increased 
yields ranging from 44 per cent to 61 per cent as a result of this 
practice. 
Use only good seed. Sufficient quantities of certified seed should 
be available to supply the demand. 
Lime where necessary. Fertilize adequately and properly.

CHUFAS crérass nuts 
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. Hogs not only fatten 
quickly on them, but the 
meat is sweeter than when 
corn-fed; some claim it is 
equal to that cf peanut- 
fed 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% 
pecks plant an acre. By 
mail postpaid, 5 lbs. $1.75; 
10 lbs. $3.10; 1% bus. $5.80.

WOOD’S PEDIGREE VIRGINIA GROWN 
COBBLER POTATOES 
Grown from Certified Seed 
Our stock was grown in the best potato growing section in Vir- 
ginia. We planted certified potatoes that had been grown under the 
rigid rules of the Maine Experiment Station, had been inspected 
when growing and after being harvested, and certified by them as 
true and free from disease. They are smaller than Maine grown, 
cut to better advantage and are more economical to plant. 
We recommend Virginia Grown Cobblers in the highest terms. 
Reports from practically all the Atlantic Coastal States indicate 
larger yields are being made from Virginia grown potatoes than 
from seed produced further north. They are slightly later in ma- 
turity than Maine grown seed. 
G M ' crops everywhere and on practically 
reen ountain any kind of soil, producing uniform- 
ly, large; handsome, smooth, oval-shaped potatoes with white 
skin, with very few small potatoes. Medium late; not suscepti- 
ble to disease. Particularly well adapted to the piedmont and 
mountain sections for April and May planting. Also for planting 
in June and early July.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
Every hog raiser should grow artichokes, for they come year 
after year; the hogs will harvest them without cost, will fatten 
on them, and they will keep the hogs in fine condition—it is 
claimed that artichokes prevent hog cholera, They are grown 
just like potatoes; cut them two eyes to the piece, and plant 2 
inches deep, 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 to 314-foot rows. In the fall 
when they have matured, turn the hogs among them and they 
will feed on them all winter except when the ground is wet 
or frozen. They 
are more cheap- 
ly grown and 
more productive 
than potatoes, 
averaging 300 to 
400 bushels to the 
acre. 
Although grown 
principally fo 














hogs, ‘they, ar 
fine food for cat-}; 
tle, sheep and 
horses; for dairy} 
cattle it is claim 
ed they are nearly 
equal to bran as 
milk producers. 
Plant during March or April, the earlier the better; they will 
stand considerable drought and extreme cold, and can be planted 
earlier than potatoes. They grow well on any well-drained soil 
without much attention, and one planting does for several years. 
6 to 8 bushels plant an acre. By mail, qt. 35c; 4% peck 80c; peck
