WOOD'S SOUTHERN HYBRID CORNS 
Proved by Farmers in Nearly Every County in the South 
Many Have Grown Them 5 to 14 Years 
Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific, S-210 20 Days)—A very high 
yielding yellow hybrid for 
Southern Virginia, Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. 
This excellent hybrid has been developed exclusively by T. W. Wood & Sons 
in answer to the demands of the southern farmer for a high yielding yellow 
hybrid of a wide range of adaptation. A 3-ear type; matures early before the 
late summer droughts. Plants are tall, strong and vigorous, 12-14 rows of 
beautiful golden grain of high protein content, Packed closely on a small cob. 
Has good shuck protection, weevil resistance, high shelling percentage. 
All Wood’s Hybrids are double crosses of inbreds developed from the best 
native varieties by nearly 20 years of inbreeding and selection. This assures 
their adaptability and superior yields of sound corn under severe Southern 
conditions. Their long tight shucks protect the ears from weevil and ear 
worms. Their deep expansive root systems give them drought and heat 
resistance. Their strong vigorous stalks withstand heavy wind. 
Do not confuse Wood’s Proven Double Cross Hybrids with some being grown 
in the South with little breeding by top crossing on a local variety. 
Some Corn Belt Hybrids are still being offered in the South despite the 
warning by Southern Experiment Stations that they are not adapted and lack 
the grain hardness and shuck protection to withstand weevil. 
“Mor several years I have had good luck planting Wood’s Hybrid Corn, I 
could not get it last year so planted another hybrid which made a failure. In 
1943 two bushels of Wood’s Hybrid Golden Prolific planted on 25 acres yielded 
1,531 bushels.”—J. Kaylor, Carroll Co., Ga. 
Wood’s Hybrid White Prolific, S-350 (eto Payee oe pew ohe 
selected inbreds from 
highest yielding southern white prolific varieties. It will materially increase 
yields and quality of grain wherever prolific corns are grown in the South. 
Has 2 to 8 large ears per stalk. Pure white, deep grains closely packed on a 
small white cob. Very strong stalks with an abundance of deep green foliage. 
Deep spreading roots which withstand storms and drought. Has a long tight 
shuck and medium hard grain, resisting weevil and ear worms. It is the ideal 
corn for the South. It makes the finest quality corn meal. 
B. E. Timmerman, Ridgefield Co., S. C., says: “Every stalk bore several 
large ears and made a third more per acre than my other corn. I am well 
pleased with it and will plant my entire crop in it next year.’ 
“JT planted it next to Whatley’s Prolific and find Wood’s Hybrid White 
Prolific more drought resistant and yields more than any I ever grew be- Long, thick

Wood’s Hybrid White Dent, V-120 sound ears. A hybrid developed Prolific, 
out of Wood’s Improved White Dent with the same adaptation and use, but 
making far greater yields, sound- 
er ears, better shuck protection 
from weevil and worms, sturdier 
stalks, deeper roots and much 
more storm and drought resist- 
ant. The best white corn for early 
feed in the deep South, making 
roasting ears in 85 days. It is an 
extremely high yielding main 
crop corn for Virginia, the South- 
ern Mountain Section, Maryland, 
Delaware and lower valleys of 
West Virginia. Has large deep 
grain closely wedged on a me- 
dium small cob. Makes excellent 
corn meal,
