SEEDSMEN SINCE 
1879 + RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
WOOD'S SEED COTTON grown at the top of the Cotton Belt, matures edition 
beating the boll weevil. It makes bumper crops of top quality lint. 
Virginia Jumbo Peanuts 
Hand Picked Largest Nuts. Higher Yield, Grade and Value. 
155 days. Runner type. Pure strain with higher yield, larger, 
more uniform pod and kernel. It makes the highest per cent of 
extra large kernels for high grade salted nuts and candy. It 
has the highest per cent of large bright colored pods to be 
hand picked and sold unhulled for roasting. Pods are big and 
thick with very little dent around the center. Gets best prices. 
It shells out 68% meat. Best adapted to light sandy soils, high 
in calcium. Plant 45 lbs. of shelled seed per acre (85 lbs. un- 
hulled), 10 to 16 inches apart in 30 to 40-inch rows. Closer on 
poorer soils. 
White Spanish Peanuts 
Earliest Maturing. Highest Oil Content, 50%. Best for Crush- 
ing, for Heavier Soils in the Peanut Belt, or the North. 
135 days. Bunch type. 2 small white nuts entirely fill each pod. 
Shells out 75%. Superior in sweetness and flavor. Very few 
pops, which are often found in large varieties. Easier to grow 
and harvest than other varieties. Nuts cling firmly to the roots 
and are easily cured. Plant 30 Ibs. shelled nuts per acre (45 
Ibs. unshelled), 6 to 12 inches apart in2 to 2!/o ft. rows, closer 
on poorer soils. 
HIGH GERMINATING COTTON 
1949 Grown from Breeder Foundation 
Stock, Certified, Delinted. Treated. 
Certified Seed growers from all over the 
Cotton Belt report the 1950 season was so bad 
cotton is only germinating 30 to 50% and is 
not fit for seed. All our cotton was grown in 
1949 under favorable weather conditions. It 
was harvested early and carefully dried to in- 
sure 85 to 95% germination. 
Wood's Cotton Seeds are grown in one va- 
riety communities and ginned at private gins 
that handle only one variety. They are Blue 
Tag Certified by the Crop Improvement Asso- 
ciation. They are mechanically delinted to 
hasten germination and growth, especially in 
dry weather, and require only 20 to 25 lbs. per 
acre; cheaper to plant than ordinary seed 
which takes 35 lbs. per acre. We have some 
Acid-Delinted Coker 100-Wilt in 50-lb. bags 
which needs only 10 Ibs. to plant an acre. 
All our Cotton Seeds are Ceresan Treated 
to protect the seedlings from disease and cold 
damp weather, for 25% better stands, more 
vigorous plants, quicker growth, earlier matur- 
ity and higher yields. 
Deltapine 15 Cotton 
First Year from Breeder. Certified. Delinted. 
Best cotton for non-wilt soils. Good fiber quali- 
ty; 1-1/16 to 1'/% inch staple. The most dis- 
cussed variety in the South. Distinguished by 
its productiveness, high gin turnout, excellent 
staple and ability to produce a crop under 
adverse soil and weather conditions. Delta- 
pine seed is in greater demand than any other 
variety throughout the Cotton Belt. Developed 
by 35 years breeding by one of the world’s 
foremost cotton breeders on the D. & P. L. 
farms which grow 8,500 acres of this cotton 
which average 1,000 Ibs. of lint cotton per 
acre. It is easily picked by hand or machine, 
yet is storm-resistant. It gins out 42% lint.

Coker 100 Wilt Cotton 
Ist Year from Breeder. Certified. Delinted. 
Best Cotton for wilt-infested soils. Does as well 
on non-wilt land. Widely adapted. 1-1/16 in. 
Extra early. High Yield. Easily picked by hand 
or machine. Superior spinning. 
The result of 19 years testing on wilt-infested 
soil of thousands of plants, selecting for wilt 
resistance, yield, staple, picking quality, storm 
resistance, fiber strength and spinning quality. 
It has erect plants, well spaced branches, and 
thin foliage. Leaves shed as cotton matures. 
Bolls are round, slightly pointed, 70 to 72 per 
lb. Bolls ripen uniformly, open extremely wide 
and fluff beautifully, yet it is: storm resistant. 
Maintains a high grade during adverse sea- 
sons. Gins out 38%. Excellent, uniform, strong 
lint character. 
Introduced in 1942, the popularity of Coker 
100 Wilt has spread so fast about Yg of the 
U. S. cotton crop is now planted in it. It has 
won most of the recent state and local cotton 
contests. J. H. Neeley, Chester Co., holds the 
S. C. record of 8,275 Ibs. of lint on 5 acres, or 
3-1/3 bales per acre. L. D. Holmes 
and Son, Edgefield Co., won the 
1949S. C. 5-acre contest with 
Coker 100 Wilt. It made 7,250 lbs. 
of lint on 5 acres, nearly 3 bales 
per acre winning in 1948 for J. L. 
O'Cain, Orangeburg Co., S. C. 
In 1948 it won the $800.00 N. C. 
Ist prize for Walter Bender, War- 
ren Co., making 7,150 Ibs. of lint 
on 5 acres; and won the Ga. 
Championship for J. W. Trunnelle, 
Bleckley Co., yielding 16,912 Ibs. 
of seed cotton on 5 acres. 
We grew 250 acres of Coker 
Improved Valencia 
Big Red Nuts. Best for Average Soils Where 
Other Large Peanuts Yield Many Pops. 
140 days. Bunch type. A 30-lb. bushel shells out 
22 Ibs. of nuts. Does well farther west and north 
than other large varieties, or after early truck 
crops in the South. Plant 40 lbs. shelled nuts per 
acre (60 Ibs. unshelled) 8 to 14 inches apart in 
2 to 234 ft. rows, closer on poorer soils. 
WOOD'S SEED PEANUTS are grown from pedi- 
greed seed, heavily recleaned, hand picked, 
high germinating, free of pops. Not shelled, as 
machine shelling breaks.the seed coat, causing 
poor stands. Shell and pick by hand; use Ara- 
san (page 68) and Wood's Inoculation Group 
5. Plant in May or early June, 1'/p inches deep, 
| inch if soil is moist. Use 400 Ibs. 0-12-12 ferti- 
lizer per acre. On Jumbos use 300 lbs. gypsum. 
Cultivate shallow and often until nuts start. Dust 
3 times with fine sulphur. To harvest loosen roots 
with a plow, pull vines up, let nuts dry, stack 
around a stake, nuts inward. Peanuts will grow 
on any soil, light sandy soils produce the best. 
The vines are superior to alfalfa in fat, nearly 
equal in protein and feed livestock all winter and 
spring. Nuts left in the ground fatten hogs and 
give pork a superior flavor. 
100-Wilt seed from breeder foun- IMPROVED VALENCIA has long large pods, each filled with 
dation stock on one big farm in a 3 or 4 nuts w

ith the most delicious flavor. Best for home use. 
Brings a premium on the market. High shelling percent.
