WOOD’S EVERGREEN
LAWN GRASS
at the Rate of 1 lb. to 250 Square Feet — 100 lbs. Per Acre.
This is positively the very finest
mixture of lawn grasses in existence.
Contains only the best and finest of
turf-forming grasses, none that are
coarse or grow in tufts. Included in
it is a generous percentage of Creep¬
ing Bent, recognized as probably the
best of the turf formers of which we
now know.
As no one grass can make a fine
lawn the year round, we have put
into WOOD’S EVERGREEN different
varieties that are at their best dur¬
ing different months, so that this
mixture presents a succession of ver¬
dure through the various seasons of
the year. We recommend it for all
of Virginia (except the extreme
southern and eastern portions), the
mountainous districts of the South,
a-.d for all States north and east of
the Potomac and Ohio Rivers. Prices
f.o.b. Richmond: lb. 40c.; 5 lbs. $1.75;
25-lb. lots, 33c. Id.; 100-lb. lots and
over, 32c. lb. Postpaid prices: lb. 50c.;
5 lbs. $2.05; 25 lbs. $8.90.
WOOD’S DIXIE LAWN GRASS
GROWS GREEN IN DIXIE’S SUNSHINE
This mixture is the result of a close and intimate study of
grasses suited to lawn making and such as are adapted to
Southern soils and climate. Every grass suitable for lawn
making will not stand the extreme heat and drought so often
experienced in the South, so in selecting grasses for this mix¬
ture we have taken only those that will give a velvety green
lawn under the most trying conditions of summer heat and
drought when lawns often become brown and parched. In
the easterly section of the Carolinas, and throughout the
other States of the far South sow Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass;
in Virginia and further north and in the westerly section of
the Carolinas and further west, sow Wood’s Evergreen Lawn
Grass. Prices f.o.b. Richmond: lb. 40c.; 5 lbs. $1.75; 25-lbs.
lots, 35c. lb.; 100-lb. .ots and over, 32c. lb.
Postpaid prices: lb. 50e.; 5 lbs. $2.05; 25 lbs. $8.90.
WOOD’S SHADY PARK LAWN GRASS
For use wherever there are trees or shade around club
houses or residences we offer this fine mixture with confi¬
dence. Only a very few grasses are suitable for shady situa¬
tions. These we have combined in the Shady Park, thus pro¬
ducing a blend of grasses that is unsurpassed for shady
locations. Prices f.o.b. Richmond: lb. 45c.; 5 lbs. $1.90; 25-

where a good green lawn is desired during the fall, winter
and spring months. Also well adapted for sowing on Ber¬
muda Grass sod. Prices f.o.b. Richmond: lb. 30c.; 5 lbs.

T.W. WOOD & SONS -WOOD'S TESTED SEEDS ‘ RICHMOND, :VA.. 5
WOO D ’ S
DIXIE WHITE CLOVER
This superior strain of White Clover
which we are introducing this year is one
of the most valuable crops that can be
grown in the Southern States for grazing
purposes. For several years we have made
exhaustive tests of Wood’s Dixie White
Clover in comparison to other strains of
White Clover from all over the world, and
have found it vastly superior. It makes a
tremendous winter and early spring growth.
Its leaves and stems are twice as large
as the ordinary White Clover, growing fully
two inches taller, reaching a height when
in full growth of fully ten inches or more.
The coldest weather does not stop its
steady growth throughout the winter. It
blooms fully a month earlier than ordinary
White Clover, reaching full bloom by the
1st of May. The thick mat of growth fur¬
nishes valuable grazing, not only for horses
and cattle, but especially for sheep and
hogs. This new strain of White Clover is
not susceptible to disease, and is particu¬
larly adapted to all of the Southern States.
It thrives well on any kind of land, but is
better adapted to sand clay soil. It is a
particularly valuable crop for seeding with
oats, rye and barley during September and
early October. Sow at the rate of 6 to 10
lbs. per acre. Wood’s Dixie White Clover
is the answer to the grazing problem of the
South.
Wood’s Genuine Virginia Grown Bed Clover
has proven its superiority over all
other strains.
ALFALFA CLOVER
OUR BEST HAY CHOP
The best time for seeding Alfalfa is Au¬
gust and September. We would not advise
seeding Alfalfa until after we get season¬
able rains, as the chances are that a good
stand will not be obtained unless the soil
contains plenty of moisture. The land
should be given a thorough cultivation by
harrowing and cross harrowing, and seed¬
ing just after a rain — as soon as the land
is dry enough to do so. Alfalfa stands dry
weather conditions better than other
clovers, owing to its long rooting system,
and when once established will give larger
yields of hay than other crop.
Good adaptable seed and inoculation are
two of the most important factors in ob¬
taining a good stand of Alfalfa. Origin of
the seed is very vital, and on this account
we are only offering Verified Origin and
State Sealed Alfalfa. Wood’s Trade Mark
Brand Alfalfa is the most dependable seed
obtainable, and is giving our customers
very satisfactory crops in every section
of the East. For the Coastal sections of
Virginia and the Carolinas, the Oklahoma
grown seed is well adapted. For the higher
altitudes either Utah Highland or Grimm
are best. Sow at the rate of 15 pounds
per acre.
NEW CROP CRIMSON CLOVER
A Valuable Land Improver, Hay and Grazing Crop.
The sowing of Crimson Clover is one of the best methods
for restoring worn out fields, and will rapidly bring them up
to a high state of cultivation. Also a very valuable crop to
follow grain, furnishing an excellent winter cover crop, that
can be grazed, cut for hay or turned under as a soil im¬
prover in time for planting of corn next year.
When sowing Crimson Clover alone, the best preparation
is to prepare the land some time previous to seeding, and
then wait for a rain to fall on the prepared soil before sow¬
ing the seed. As soon after a rain as the land is dry enough,
a light harrow should be run over the soil, in order to break
the crust, then sow the clover seed, covering with a light or
brush harrow. This method will invariably produce a good
stand of Crimson Clover. Sow 15 pounds to the acre during
August and September.
The new crop of Crimson Clover in this country is very
small, and reports indicate only a medium crop will be pro¬
duced in Europe. Prices are about as low as we anticipate
the coming season, and on the contrary, should the Govern¬
ment increase the tariff on this commodity, we will very
likely see an increase in price during latter part of August
and September.
We can now offer new crop Tennessee Grown and new
crop Imported Crimson Clover for immediate shipment, both
of high tested purity and germination. Complete prices on
the following page.
WOOD’S FIELD TESTED SEED OATS
Our field tests made of Seed Oats have proven beyond a doubt that there is a decided difference in the various strains
of the same varieties. We are continually striving to supply our customers with the most productive varieties for use in the
Eastern States, and these repeated tests over a
period of years have enabled us to offer Seed Oats
that have proven their superiority over Seed Oats
generally sold. From the number of letters we have
received from our customers it is evident that our
Trade Mark Brand Seed Oats are giving increased
yields and most satisfactory results from every
standpoint. Wood’s Pedigree Fulghum Oats are the
result of these tests, and have proven to be the
largest yielding strain on the market today, being
decidely superior to the ordinary Southern or
Western Fulghums.
Hundreds of comparative tests are made annually
at our Williamson Farm in Amelia County, Va., on
seeds from all sections of the country. As a result
of these tests we are prepared to know just what
seeds from various localities are best adapted to our
Southern growing conditions. Our field test work is
done under the supervision of Mr. W. P. Wood, Jr.,
graduate of V. P. I. Agricultural College, and also
A view of our experimental plot of Pall Sown Oats, grown on our ^as taken the post graduate course at. Cornell
Williamson Farm, Amelia County, Va. University.

Wood’s Southern Pasture Mixture
Realizing the urgent need for a permanent pasture mixture
suitable for Southern conditions, we have assembled a mixture
of Southern grasses and clovers admirably adapted to seeding
during the months of September and October in thh Southern
Std>t6S>
This mixture is made up of grasses, each of which has its own
merit as a pasture grass, and the adaptability of the different
grasses to the Southern climate have been considered in blending
this mixture.
We are putting this mixture up under two different formulas:
One entirely free of Bermuda Grass and the other containing
20% of Bermuda Grass. For land desired for permanent pasture
only we recommend the mixture with Bermuda Grass. Where
Bermuda Grass is used the permanency for summer grazing is
better assured than if left out.

USE WOOD’S SUPER-CLEANED SEED WHEAT FOR HIGHER YIELDS
WHEAT THAT WILL BRING YOU A HIGHER MARKET VALUE AND EXTRA DIVIDENDS NEXT HARVEST
It is most important that you consider your Seed Wheat re-
quiremexits carefully this year. There is a great scarcity of
good, plump, heavy Seed Wheat this fall, and seed of this char¬
acter will be in very heavy demand at planting time. Crops in
the East, as well as the large wheat growing sections of the
West, are turning out much smaller than anticipated, which has
resulted in a heavy advance in values. Excess rainfall at har¬
vest, and unfavorable growing weather for the proper develop¬
ment of the crop, has damaged wheat considerably, causing a
large majority of the crop to be chaffy, shrivelled and unsuit¬
able for seeding purposes. We have seen more wheat of this
character than in a great many years. Many crops are only
weighing out from 53 to 57 pounds to the bushel. Even the
better ltots contain a large percentage of small and shrivelled
grains, that when used for seed will mean a big loss next
harvest.
WOOD’S SEED WHEAT IS PAYING DIVIDENDS.
Farmers who used our strains of Seed Wheat last fall have
been doubly repaid for the slight extra cost in obtaining the
best. Wood’s Seed Wheat has a pedigree, and can always be
sold for seed at a premium over ordinary crops. Many are re¬
porting larger yields than their neighbors who have been plant¬
ing ordinary wheat that they could buy cheap.
Proper cleaning of Seed Wheat this year is very important.
Our triple process of recleaning Seed Wheat is not equalled by
any other seedsman in the East. Every bag of Wood’s Seed
Wheat when received is immediately put through our machines
and heavily fanned to keep it in good condition. This wheat
is then carefully stored until September and October, when it is
triple recleaned over our special machinery which eliminates all
lightweight grains, trash, weed seeds, etc. Every lot must be at
least 99% pure, entirely free from weeds, and over 90% germina¬
tion before being sent to our customers. To every bag is at¬
tached our analysis tag, which meets the requirements of all
State Seed Laws. In fact, the large majority of our Seed Wheat
tests from 99.50% to 100% pure and over 95% germination, and
is the cleanest, heaviest and most vigorous growing Seed Wheat
obtainable, regardless of price.
BE SURE AND TREAT YOUR SEED WHEAT
Regardless of where you secure your seed, it is cheap
insurance to treat all wheat for seeding purposes with
copper carbonate as a preventive against stinking smut.
These smut spores may be carried on sacks, bins or by
threshing machines, and in many cases can only be seen
through a microscope. Every Experimental Station recom¬
mends this treatment of Seed Wheat. Last year we treated
over 9,000 bushels of our Seed Wheat for our customers,
and so far as we can find out has proven 100% effective.
We will treat any variety of Seed Wheat which we offer
at a charge of 10 cents per bushel over the price quoted
in this Catalog. This only covers the actual expense of
labor in treating, chemical used and rehandling. We use
the highest grade 50% Copper Carbonate as recommended
by the Experimental Stations.

Wood’s Forward Wheat.
WOODS FORWARD WHEAT
RECORD YIELDS— WINTER HARDY— SMUT RESISTANT
Wood’s Forward Wheat is a smooth wheat, developed from Bearded Fulcaster, and combines
the good characters of both, having the large yields of smooth and the winter hardiness of
bearded. In an eight-year test at an Eastern Experimental Station it outyielded 1,000 strains of
the best wheats in the world. It is fast becoming the most popular variety in the soft red win¬
ter wheat belt of America. It is already the leading wheat in New York and Pennsylvania. We
are receiving testimonials from our customers we supplied seed to in every section of Virginia,
North Carolina and Maryland, which indicate that it is becoming the leading variety in the East.
W. R. Perkins, of the Virginia Crop Improvement Association says: “The acreage of Forward
Wheat in the State this year exceeds that of both Leap’s Prolific and V. P. I. No. 112, and the
majority of it looks as if it will outyield the other varieties.’’
Last year Mr. H. H. Willis, of Culpeper, reported the record yield of 47 bushels per acre,
and Mr. J. W. Sorrell, Dunn. N. C., made 40 bushels per acre on a field said to have been the
prettiest lot of wheat ever grown in that county. This year, which was a very unfavorable sea¬
son, Mr. T. E. Thomas, of Fredericksburg. Va., made 37 bushels per acre; Mr. R. E. Cleek, Port
Conway, Va., made 35 bushels; Mr. W. M. Andrews. Hanover, Va., made 22 bushels per acre on
poor land, where the average in his locality on good land was around 15 bushels.
What pleases so many farmers is its tall, stiff straw that never falls down, even where
other wheat in adjoining fields is ruined by lodging.
Other valuable features are its unusual stooling ability, adaptability to different types of
soil and climate, its large, hard, dark grain and resistance to smut and other diseases. It ripens
early and can be put on the market before other varieties, getting the higher early prices. The
heads are compact and the grain is plump and weighs heavy. It runs three to four grains to
the barr.

LEADING VARIETIES OF SEED WHEAT
We always carry complete stocks of the leading strains of Seed
Wheat that are adapted for planting in the Eastern and Southern
States
Leap’s Prolific. — Of the smooth varieties, is the outstanding
strain next to Forward, and is a very popular variety in Virginia
and the Carolinas. It is very uniform in growth, stools well and
produces a stiff straw with long, heavy heads. Our strain is
grown from certified seed, and we can confidently recommend
it to our trade. The supply of genuine Leap’s Prolific Wheat,
as well as other smooth wheats, are unusually scarce this season.
V. P. I. No. 131, a bearded variety, has proven to be one of the
best yielders in this State among the bearded wheats, and is
destined to be the leading wheat grown by farmers in the East.
We can supply both our regular strain of this wheat, grown from
certified seed, as well as Certified Seed, grown under the super¬
vision of the Virginia Crop Improvement Association, both of
which can be depended upon to give maximum yields.
Purple Straw. — The majority of the so-called Purple Straw
Wheat generally offered is a misnomer to a large extent, and is
badly mixed. In an endeavor to offer our customers the genuine
strain of this variety, which is so popular in the South, we have
grown Purple Straw Wheat on our own farm, from seed taken
from a three-year head selection. This crop, so far as inspec¬
tion could be made, is 100% genuine Purple Straw, and one of
the most uniform crops that we have ever seen. There is only
a limited quantity of this wheat available, and early orders are
suggested before stocks are exhausted.
We have also available fine quality wheats of the following
varieties: Red May, Red Wonder, Stoner, Pulcaster and V. P. I.
No. 112, as well as the certified strains. Prices given on
page 7.
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS
For centuries one of the most reliable winter hay crops in
Central Europe has been Austrian Winter Peas. Its coarse,
strong leaves and vines make it even more winter hardy than
Hairy Vetch. It grows continuously throughout the winter, mak¬
ing more growth in early spring than Hairy Vetch. For a winter
cover crop, or for early turning under, there is no- equal.
HAIRY VETCH
AMERICAN OR IMPORTED GROWN
In an effort to determine the relative value of both American
and Imported grown Hairy Vetch, we have made exhaustive tests
over a period of years on our own farm in Virginia, as well as
in North Carolina, under the supervision of Plant Breeders and
County Agents in various sections of that State. In practically
every test the American-grown seed has proven the best adapted,
making a larger growth. P. H. Kime, Plant Breeder of the
North Carolina State College, reports American-grown Hairy
Vetch is superior to imported seed. He also says it is better to
pay two to four cents more for Hairy Vetch than for Hungarian
and Common Vetch. J. Claude Williams, Cumberland County,
N. C., says Wood’s American-grown Hairy Vetch is everything a
man could wish a Vetch to be, and is better than imported seed.
Experience has shown that Hairy Vetch grown on the Pacific
Coast is becoming rather badly mixed with Oregon and Common
Vetch. The same condition is showing up to a lesser extent
in the imported seed. The Genuine American Hairy Vetch which
we offer is grown in the finest agricultural sections of the Mid-
West. It is entirely free from mixture, and is testing well over
99J% pure with only a trace of weed content, and the average
germination runs 95%. We can confidently recommend our
American-grown Hairy Vetch as the most dependable seed on
the market, and well worth the slight premium asked over im¬
ported seed.
The use of Hairy Vetch in the South is increasing enormously
on account of its dependability, making an excellent pasturage,
hay and soiling crop. The sowing of oats with Vetch for support
is recommended when the crop is to be cut for hay.
Sow at the rate of 25 to 30 pounds of Vetch with i to 1
bushel of oats per acre.
W. A. Jordan, Scotland County, N. C., says: ‘‘For feed I would
rather have Wood’s American-grown Hairy Vetch than any other
winter legume. It is superior to imported Hairy Vetch. Twenty
pounds of it with two bushels of oats make the most satisfac¬
tory hay in both quantity and quality. I know from experience
that both cows and horses relish this and thrive on it.

Wood’s Pedigree Abruzzi Rye
The Most Popular Grazing
The use of Abruzzi Rye is becoming one of the leading crops
in the Southern States. Furnishes a fine winter and early spring
grazing crop, and when allowed to mature will! give a cash crop
equal to or greater in value than wheat, besides furnishing an
excellent winter cover crop. Abruzzi has almost entirely taken
the place of the ordinary local and western rye, owing to its
quicker growth in the spring, earlier and better pasturage and
marked increase in the cash value as a grain crop. The use
Harvesting a crop of 60 acres of Wood’s Pedigree
and Grain Crop in the South.
of any other varieties of rye in the Eastern States, except as
a cover crop, means considerably lower income per acre.
Wood’s Pedigree Abruzzi Rye is grown under contract by re¬
liable growers in this State, from Certified Seed, supplied by us,
and can be depended upon to be the best productive strain avail¬
able. Our Pedigree stock is carefully recleaned, and practically
free from weed seed, showing a high test both in purity and
germination.
Owing to the premium which Abruzzi Rye
commands, the sale of ordinary local or West¬
ern Rye is being made quite generally as
Abruzzi, resulting in a material loss to farm¬
ers of the South. On this account the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with
the Virginia Department of Agriculture, are
warning farmers to be very careful) in their
purchases of Abruzzi Rye. Last year and pre¬
vious years large quantities of ordinary West¬
ern Rye was shipped into the South as
Abruzzi, and sold at prices under the estab¬
lished value of genuine Abruzzi Rye. When
buying Wood’s Pedigree Abruzzi Rye, you are
assured of the genuine strain, and your in¬
creased per acre production will more than
off-set the slight increase in original cost.

14 T.W.WOOD & SONS - WOODS TESTED SEEDS l RICHMOND, VA.^
Wood’s Flower Seeds for Fall Planting
FOR FULL DESCRIPTIONS SEE OUR ANNUAL CATALOG.
In the South perennials, biennials and hardy annuals may be sown outside in the fall. These sowings make finer plants, earlier,
larger and more brilliant blooms. Annuals should have a slight covering in extreme weather; tender perennials should be carried
through the winter in the house.
Prepare the ground as fine, smooth and level as a rake will make it: plant in rows so the young plants may be easily seen; cover
lightly — a good rule is to cover four to six times the diameter of the seeds; very fine seeds should be pressed into the soil.
Half hardy varieties (marked H H) need protection; varieties marked (T) tender, should be wintered in the house.

HYACINTHS
CULTURE IK POTS — Use any good soil, mixed with sand, potting so as to leave the top of the bulb even with the soil. For
a single plant use a 4 or 5-inch pot; but the effect will be prettier if several bulbs are planted in a llarger pot, and still more effec¬
tive if all are of one color. Press the soil firmly around the bulbs, but do not pack it underneath. Water thoroughly and place in
cool, dark place for four or five weeks, watering about every ten days, enough to keep the soil moist.
A still better plan is to sink the pot in the earth about six inches, covering with soil, choosing a location that is not too wet.
For a succession of bloom, bring the first out about December 1st, and every two weeks thereafter until
February 1st. Keep moderately warm and when they begin to bloom, give plenty of water, and as much
fresh air as possible. Too much heat dries up the flower and shortens the blooming period.
CULTURE IK OPEN GROUND — Any good garden soil will suit Hyacinths, and the planting depth
should be determined by the character of the soil. If clay or very heavy, do not cover more than three
inches; if light, from four to six inches. Protect with manure, leaves or coarse litter to prevent freezing.

TULIPS
THE MOST GORGEOUS AND SHOWY OF EARLY SPRING FLOWERS
Tulips make one of the most attractive and showy bedding flowers. The variety of colors and earliness to bloom make them
particularly desirable.
In preparing a bed have it so shaped that it will shed water, and the soil should be worked deep and made rich. Plant from
3 tc 4 inches deep, according to the stiffness of the soil, and from 4 to 6 inches apart each way, and protect with leaves or coarse
manure.
^T.W.WOOD Sr SONS, WOODS TESTED SEEDS!

colors include many rare among flowers and run principally in the purple, maroon anc terra cotta shades. These tulips are very
valuable for the garden, producing by their refined colors a most artistic effect. Plant and treat like the Darwins.

CROCUS
■ — One of the earliest blooming spring flow¬
ers and very effective in lawns and borders.
They show off very prettily when planted
- — in* the turf of a lawn. When planting in
the lawn, make a small hole about two inches deep with a
dibble or sharp-pointed stick, and then cover with a little extra
soil. They can be planted in this way without disturbing the
appearance of the Hawn. After flowering, the cutting of the
grass does not injure the bulbs, and they will appear year after
year, proving an ever-recurring delight in the early spring.
They are also very useful to plant in hyacinth or tulip beds
between the rows, thereby giving a succession of early flowers.
Set the bulbs two inches deep and two or three inches apart
and plant as early in the fall as possible.
LARGE FLOWERING NAMED CROCUS
—Flowers much larger and borne in greater profusion than the

NARCISSUS, DAFFODILS AND JONQUILS
Among early spring flowers these are in the front rank of popularity. Appearing just after winter, they animate our gardens
with masses of gold and silver, while their fragrant blossoms in the home are invaluable for decorative purposes.
CULTURE IN WATER,. — See under description of Giant White Narcissus for growing bulbs in water.
CULTURE OUT OF DOORS. — All varities of Narcissus should be grown in clumps and patches in every suitable spot, and there
is not a spot where grass will grow in which Narcissus will not succeed. In planting, be guided by the size of the bulb, allowing
4 to 5 inches between small sorts and G to 8 inches between large varieties. The bulbs will soon completely fill the space, forming
a compact mass, and it is then their flowers are produced the most freely. Plant about 5 inches deep, according to the size of the
bulb.
Giant White Narcissus
Growing in Water
GIANT WHITE NARCISSUS
The Most Satisafctory Winter Blooming House Plant
They will bloom in water from six to eight weeks from time of planting, if not planted too
early, and are superior to Chinese Lilies or any other narcissus for growing in water.. The flowers
are larger, more attractive in color and very fragrant. A very unique and simple way to grow them
is to place six or eight bulbs in a shallow bowl with water; support the bulbs with pebbles, and
place the bowl in the dark until the roots have started, when they should be brought into the
light. Change the water occasionally to keep it pure. From our experiments November, Decem¬
ber and January plantings give best results. Each, 15c.; dozen, $1.35; 100, $10.00 postpaid.
Not prepaid, $1.25 per dozen; $9.50 per 100.
RISING SUN NARCISSUS
This is a yellow narcissus exactly like the Giant White, except the flowers are a rich yellow
instead of white, and a little later in blooming. Excellent for growing in water, and when grown
this way will bloom in from eight to ten weeks. Plant six or eight bulbs in a bowl and give the
same treatment as Giant White Narcissus. Earge bulbs, each, 20c.; dozen, $2.00 postpaid. Not
prepaid, $1.90 per dozen; $15.00 per 100.
PAPER WHITE GRANDIFLORA NARCISSUS
These are excellent for growing in water and rocks, provided they are not planted too early.
From our experiments November, December and January plantngs give best results. 12c. each;
