* RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
CERTIFIED HYBRIDS 
We treat all hybrid seed with ARASAN and DDT against weevil 
and disease, to prevent seedling blight in cold 
and increase stands up to '/4th. Our hybrid drying and pro- 
cessing plants lead the South. 9 types of machines take out all 
but good flat kernels of strong germination 
N.C. 31,128 days. A new pure white hybrid with excellent 
milling quality and standability, replacing Dixie 
it; has better stalk, root, shuck and weevil resistance. Flintier. 
Has big sound ear and grain; white cob. Tops in 1951 Pied- 
mont N. C. tests, outyielding Dixie 17, N.C. 27 and Dixie 18. 
DIXIE 17,128 days. White. High yields in Cotton Belt. 
KY. 203, 121 days. Popular early pure white milling corn. 
KY. 72B. Like Ky. 203 but yields far more in N. C. and Eastern 
Va.; better shuck and grain quality; dries quicker. 
IND. 750, 120 days. White. High milling quality. Va. recom- 
mends it. Top certified hybrid in Va. tests 3 years. 
rot; short, very strong stalk. Ears low; ideal picker type. 
IND. 909. Improvement in Ind. 750. Replacing it: 
it. Averaged 9 bu. per acre more in 5 Eastern Va. tests. 
YELLOW CERTIFIED HYBRIDS 
DIXIE 82, 134 days. New flinty weevil resistant hybrid to re- 
place N. C. 27 and DIXIE 18. Good grain quality. Outyielded 
N. C. 27 about 10 bu. per acre in Southern tests. Not as tall 
as Dixie 18 but far outyielded it in all tests re- 
ported to us. Made 104.4 bu. per acre, highest 
in the N. C. Lower Coastal test, 10 bu. above 
Dixie 18, last year's winner.

N. C. 27, 129 days. Resists weevil. Most 
popular certified hyorid in the Cotton Belt. 
N. C. 26. Often preferred to N. C. 27 in the 
Piedmont. It is more prolific; disease resistant; 
ears are lower: harvests easier; dries quicker.

DIXIE 44, 125 days. Top yields, standability 
and grain quality in Upper South. Big ears.

to Southern diseases; stronger stalks, sounder 
ears, higher yield. Replacing it. Averaged 10 
bu. per acre more in 5 Eastern Va. tests and 23 
bu. more in 3 Md. tests. 
U.S. 262, 130 days. Tops in Va. tests 5 years. 
U.S. 262A. Better color and grain quality. 
» U.S. 357, 130 days. Very popular in Va. 
U.S. 357A. Better color and grain quality. 
U.S. 99, 130 days. Big golden grain; green 
vigorous foliage; good for grain or silage. 
U.S. 13, 116 days. Most popular early hybrid. 
U.S. 505, 117 days. Improved U.S. 13. Re- 
placing it. Averaged 20 bu. per acre more in 
5 Va. tests with better grain quality, half as 
many rotten ears, 1/3 as many lodged and 
broken stalks, lower ears, best picker type. 
Recommended in Va. Piedmont, Mountains and 
Md. 
ILL. 200 or KY. 103, 117 days. Early. Good 
ear. 
OHIO C-54, 110 days. Va. recommends it for 
Mountains and hogging or early feed in 
Coastal Area where its small sturdy stalks per- 
mit planting almost twice as thick as late corns, 
yielding as much but maturing in time to follow 
with small grains. 
IOWA 939, 110 days. For high altitudes.

"Hybrid Yellow Sweepstakes sto 
HYBRID YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES 
Silage 109 days. Fast vigorous growth, produc- 
ing more combined silage, grain, protein, vita- 
mins and feeding value per acre than other 
silage corns of similar maturity, from the South 
to New England. It has big strong stalks and 
roots. Its long wide leaves are close together 
and stay dark green after the ears ripen. Its 
silage is extremely palatable and nutritious. It 
yields as many ears as the best grain hybrids 
but has larger ears and grain, with deep golden 
color. If left to mature it makes a wonderful 
husking corn. Many farmers use it for grain as 
well as silage. 
It averaged over 20 tons of silage per acre 
in 2 Southern experiment station tests, 14!/> to 
42% more than other corns, making the highest 
green or dry weight. It made 26!/5 tons per acre, 
highest in Rhode Island Test. It was one of the 
highest yielding and strongest stalked yellow 
hybrids at the Georgia Mountain Experiment 
Station, 
“We tried Hybrid Yellow against other silage 
corns 3 years and will plant all our crop in it 
next year. It makes as much tonnage, with better 
quality, more ears and feeding value than taller 
corns. It was not damaged by a bad storm that 
nearly ruined nearby corn. Most stalks had 2 big 
ears.'—Silver Springs Dairy, Moore Co., N. C. 
"I like Hybrid Sweepstakes fine for silage." 
—J.J. Anderson, Monongalia Co., W. Va. 
"It is a real silage corn. In a very dry season 
it made a good growth and eared out well. | 
can't see how it made such a yield with so little 
rain. —G. L. Broaddus, Caroline Co., Va. 
MAMMOTH ENSILAGE, WHITE 
Silage 116 days. Out-yielded other open pol- 
inated varieties 3 years in experiment station 
tests, making 35% more silage than 24 other 
corns in one test: had 4 to 8 more leaves per 
plant. Heavy grain producer, large ears, deep 
grain, high feeding value. More compact growth, 
easier to harvest.

WOOD'S ENSILAGE CORNS 
Uae ie: 
od up well, resisted corn borers; had large stalks 
and good ears for silage or shucking. We were well pleased with it."—-G. W. Grove, 
Augusta Co., Va. It has wide leaves, stocky compact stalks, deep roots; stands up 
and is easy to harvest by hand or machine. 
WOOD'S PAMUNKEY, WHITE 
Silage 115 days. Averaged 23 tons per acre for 
6 years in 9 state tests. Has an abundance of 
nutritious ears, usually a foot long, and broad 
thick foliage. Grows 12 to 15 feet tall with 
strong roots and sturdy stalks which stand up 
when shorter corns blow down, making it easier 
to put in the silo. Silage is nutritious and palat- 
able. "For 3 years it yielded more than any 
other corn; 8 acres fills a large silo; stalks 16 
feet tall; big around as an ear of corn. Two large 
ears per stalk; sound grain.'—M. B. Smith, 
Spartanburg Co., S. C. "For years it has made 
outstanding yields in the N. C. mountains.""— 
P. R. Elam, Co. Agt., Madison Co., N. C. 
YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES ENSILAGE 
Silage 110 days. Very large, broad grain; deep 
golden color. Large ears a foot long. Earlier 
than Eureka; has more vitamin and feeding value; 
averaged 15 bu. more grain for 6 years in 9 
states. Made much more silage per acre than 
Eureka in N. C. Mountain tests. 
EUREKA ENSILAGE, WHITE 
Silage 115 days. Our strain had larger ears, 
more grain and yielded 20% more silage than 
ordinary Eureka in the Mass. Experiment Station 
test. At the Conn. Station our strain made 22 
tons per acre, to 15 and 13 tons for Eureka from 
other growers. In a hurricane, ordinary Eureka 
was blown down, but ours was not damaged. It 
made the highest weight of grain and stover in 
a 3-year N. J. Test of 75 varieties. 
EARLY EUREKA ENSILAGE, WHITE 
Silage 112 days. Similar to Va. Eureka, yields 
almost as much silage with more grain, making 
the silage more nutritious and palatable. 
OLD VIRGINIA ENSILAGE, WHITE 
Silage 115 days. Heavy yield of silage and 
grain. High feeding value. Leafy, stocky, com- 
pact, easy to harvest; large white ears; deep 
grain: good silage or husking. “Best silage we 
ever had.''—G. H. June, Huron Co., Ohio.
