Outstanding Strains of Seed Grains for Fall Planting 
Treated ae New Improved Ceresan for Increased Yields and Better Crops 

Wood’s Improved Lee Cold Proof Oats, 
Strain 5 
We consider our Lee Cold Proof Oats the hardiest of all 
varieties for fall sowing. It has been grown the past few 
years quite extensively in Pennsylvania and Southern Ohio, 
which is proof of its winter hardiness. We recommend it very 
highly for all Atlantic Coastal states from Maryland and 
Delaware to and including South Carolina. For several years 
in official southern experiment station tests it has topped 
the list of many leading strains of oats generally used in the 
South. In these previous years, which were not exception- 
ally heavy yielding seasons, it averaged, from 1941 to 1944, 
from 67 to 78 bushels per acre. This year many of our con- 
tract growers are reporting well over 80 bushels per acre. 
This improved strain of Lee Cold Proof Oats is an out- 
standing variety for dairymen, being one of the tallest grow- 
ing of all winter oats, attaining a height of approximately 5 
feet, making it one of the best oats for cutting for grain, 
feed or silage. It is about 10 days later in maturity than 
the Fulgrain and makes considerably taller growth. 
Wood’s Winter Turf Oats 
We are offering again this season the same fine strain of 
this turf variety which has given such highly satisfiactory 
results in the Piedmont and mountain sections of Virginia, 
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia. It 
ranks as one of the latest maturing varieties, is heavy stool- 
ing, rather slow in starting in the spring, but makes a rapid 
growth later, attaining a height of 5 to 6 feet. It is equal in 
this respect to the Lee Cold Proof, and is an excellent oat for 
dairymen, used as pasture, cut for green feed or grain pro- 
duction. Our seed probably shows the heaviest test weight 
of any other fall-sown oat and is entirely free from onion.

Timely Advice on When to Cut for Hay 
1. Red clover, when in about one-half bloom. 
2. Timothy, when the top quarter of the heads are in 
flower. 
3. Alfalfa (first crop), 

when in one-fourth bloom or 
when the plants first show a change in color as 
evidenced by a slight yellowish cast. 
Alfalfa (second crop), when in full bloom. 
Alfalfa (third crop), about 30 to 40 days before the

usual date for the first killing frost in the fall.

8. Sudan grass, before full bloom. 
9. Annual lespedeza, when the first blooms appear or

in height. 
1. Sweet clover, when the first blooms appear.

Two Leading Strains of Seed Wheat 
In practically all official southern tests REDHART and 
HARDIRED have been more consistently at the top in grain 
yields than probably any other varieties, both having proved 
to be exceptionally hardy strains and have been used with 
satisfactory results through the Mountains, Piedmont and 
Coastal Sections of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and 
the Carolinas. Our sales on these two varieties have showed- 
an enormous increase in the last two years, which has proved 
beyond doubt that their popularity is increasing and that 
they have given highly satisfactory results. Both are heavy 
stooling, high yielding, beardless strains, and highly resistant 
to leaf rust and mildew. REDHART is the earliest matur- 
ing of all varieties—HARDIRED about a week or ten days 
later. 
We also have available this year exceptionally fine quality 
Wood’s Forward, Leap’s Prolific and Carala Wheat, which 
varieties are popular in many sections of the East, as well 
as other strains which are quoted in this catalog. 
We have grown this past season several thousand acres of” 
seed wheat under contract from certified seed. All Wheats 
offered in this catalog are products of this acreage, together 
with other crops grown by most reliable grain growers. 
Actual field inspections have been made on all wheat which 
we offer our trade, so as to prevent mixture and are strictly 
true to type. 
season in Virginia for wheat and we feel confident in saying 
that the quality of wheat this year is better than we have 
supplied our trade in a number of years, good heavy secs 
testing approximately 60 lbs. and over per measured bushel, 
bright, plump seed stock, and exceptionally strong germi- 
nation. 
A WARNING—We have noticed in our inspection tours ~ 
that many crops of wheat the past season were badly mixed, 
untrue to type, and contained quite a percentage of oats, 
barley and rye. Sowing seed of this character is dangerous 
procedure, as it means considerable loss in yield at harvest 
time. When buying Wood’s Seed Wheat, you are assured of 
obtaining the very finest quality, free from mixtures, besides 
being treated with New Improved Ceresan, which insures 
good stands and vigorous growth, eliminating disease and 
greatly increasing the yield. 
Wood’s Fulgrain Oats 
This is probably one of the most widely used of all oats 
for grain production in eastern Virginia, the Carolinas and > 
other Southern states. It does not make as tall a growth

as the Lee or Winter Turf, being principally used for the 
- production of grain. It is probably a better oat for planting 
along the extreme coastal section, which is subject to heavy — 
wind storms. 
WOOD'S BEARDLESS BARLEY—A hooded variety, used 
extensively throughout the South for hay, silage, grain and 
seed production. Our seed stock is grown from certified seed, 
field inspected and rogued to prevent mixture, and is almost 
entirely free from bearded heads. The Beardless Barley 
which we are offering is a true strain, highly popular through- 
out the coastal states, and its increased popularity has caused 
a complete sell-out at an early date the past several years. 
It can be grazed throughout the Hast safely es until the 
ist to 15th of February. =
