Wood^s Lawn Grasses
What Grass to Sow
In Virginia and farther north, in the westerly sections of the Carolinas
and farther west, sow Wood’s Evergreen and Shady Park Lawn Grasses.
In other parts of the South sow Wood’s Dixie Lawn Grass. Under
trees and in shaded places sow Wood’s Shady Park Lawn Grass.
Wood's Evergreen Lawn Grass "fr
A mixture of the finest turf grasses. No one grass is suitable for making
a lawn; so we have put into our Evergreen a well balanced mixture of
grasses that are at their best during different months of the year; will give a
beautiful green growth at all seasons, and will make a rich, deep green vel¬
vety lawn in as short a time as possible. It contains no coarse grasses.

To Make a Lawn
Sow as early in the spring as possible. Dig or plow the ground deeply,
pulverizing the clods. Work fertilizer into the soil and rake till smooth.
Broadcast the seed thickly, half one way and half the other. Roll or pack
the soil to provide a firm seed-bed. Cut when two inches high and cut regu¬
larly. Water generously twice a week; oftener in dry weather. Pull out
weeds and coarse grasses with a lawn weeder (see page 88) and sow seeds
where the weeds were. For lasting results give the lawn a good application
of fertilizer in the fall and spring. Ask jor our Lawn Grass Circular.
Renewing Old Lawns
Every spring and fall sow more seeds. . Cut the old grass close. Apply a
good fertilizer generously (see below). Stir the soil with a sharp rake. Sow
1 lb. of seed to 500 square feet, thicker on bare spots. Roll lightly and water
freely.

The 77Live at Home77 Policy
» »
Several years ago one of the Southern agricultural
journals advocated what they called the “live at home”
idea. This was that the farmer was to buy nothing
that could be produced on the farm. He was to raise
his own meat and the feed necessary to do it; he was
to grow all the vegetables that went on his table; his
farm, as far as possible, was to be “self-contained.”
This policy is distinctly good and we endorse it hearti¬
ly. Make it your policy and note the feeling of satis¬
faction it will give you and the difference it will make
to you financially.
For more than fifty years we have supplied high-
grade seeds to several hundred thousand gardeners
and farmers. In all these years we have never sacri¬
ficed quality for price. We will continue to supply
good seeds at a reasonable price because it is the fair
thing to do and because we want to hold your confi¬
dence in Wood’s Seeds. We promise fair treatment
and prompt attention to every order you entrust to
us, and look for a continuance of your confidence in
us. It is much appreciated.
Wood’s Crop Special, issued regularly during the planting
season, gives timely suggestions about what and when to
plant, and quotes current prices of field seeds.- Write for
it — it is free and we want you to have it.
We cordially thank our many friends for the splendid
business with which they have favored us. We hope you
will continue to favor us, and on our part promise prompt
attention, fair treatment and seeds that will grow.
Very truly yours,
January 1, 1934. T. W. WOOD & SONS.

Wood’s Seeds Are Tested and w? know that they will
grow before they are sent
out. Even then they occasionally do not come up, due to causes
over which we have no control, such as covering too deeply
or not deeply enough; too little or too much moisture; cold
weather, insects, or a crust through which the sprouts cannot
penetrate, etc.; therefore, T. W. Wood & Sons give not war¬
ranty, express or implied, as to description, quality, produc¬
tiveness or any other matter of any seeds, bulbs or plants
they send out, and will not be in any way responsible for the
crop. If the purchaser does not accept the goods on these
terms, they are at once to be returned and the amount paid
for them will be refunded.
We offer you the best seeds because it is fair thing to do and
because we want to stay in business and grow. But we can¬
not control planting and cultural methods and weather and
soil conditions,, all of which affect the outturn of crops.

Extra Large Fruits of Distinctive Shape
[110 Days] — A more appropriate name could not
be given this fine tomato, for it is not only shaped
like a beef heart, but when well grown is almost
as large. The color of the fruits is deep pink,
about the same shade as our Improved Ponderosa;
they have the same mild flavor and texture, but
have even fewer seeds; in fact, it is almost seed¬
less, frequently two inches of meat without a seed
cavity. Oxheart is smooth, thick, tender, and has
that delicious mild flavor that every tomato lover
likes so well. As a home garden tomato it is fine,
but we do not recommend it to market growers
except for local markets; it will not stand long¬

Wood’s Hybrid Yellow Dent.
Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent
STRAIN 23-A — For mountain valleys of Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Matures in 105 days. No corn of the same ma¬
turity will outyield it even on poor land or in dry seasons. It is disease and cold-
resistant and can be planted early. Every stalk bears a uniform large ear eight
inches long with solid, deep grain close together on a small cob. The stalk is
strong and sturdy with a strong root system. Plant close in the row. Our Hybrid
corn stood at the top in the West Virginia and Ohio State Experiment tests.
I. M. Andrews. Wise Co., Va., reports: “Wood’s Hybrid did exceptionally well,
yielding fifty bushels to the acre in spite of a very dry season.”
Quart 50c: % peck $1.10; peck $1.85: %. bushel $3.35; bushel $6.30, postpaid.
Not postpaid, % peck 85c; peck $1.45; % bushel $2.65; bushel $5.00.
Price:
Our Super Strains of field corns are not just better strains of good varieties. They are the best strains
that the most scientific corn-breeding methods have produced for the sections for which they are recom¬
mended. The size of your corn crop depends largely on the seeds you plant, for poor seed are worse than
poor land. Planting corn of the very best strains of well-selected, acclimated, adapted corns makes for
maximum yields. Make your aim “more corn from fewer acres” by planting Wood’s Super Strains and
lower your cost of production.

Clarage Early Yellow Dent
STRAIN 17-A — The highest yielding corn that will mature in 95 days. Recom¬
mended for altitudes of 2,000 to 4,000 feet; for early feed and roasting ears. It
made the world’s record for yield, 176 bushels to the acre, in Ohio and stood at
the top in the West Virginia high altitude test. The Virginia Experiment Sta¬
tions report it the earliest and heaviest yielding, extra early field corn.
Virginia Coastal Station reports: “Clarage is just the corn we have been seek¬
ing for early feed and hogging down. It outyielded twelve leading early varieties;
makes one to two good, sound 8-inch ears on every stalk; is considerably earlier
than Learning; suffers very little from weevil damage; shuck covers tip well;
grain set close on a small cob, and well filled at butt and tip; medium dent; short,
stocky stalk with ears held just right.”
F. H. Heflin, Taylor Co.. W. Va. : “Wood’s Clarage was the earliest and best
corn grown in this section.”
E. A. Hendley, Anson Co., N. C.: “Clarage is a 90-day com that is a 90-day
corn. It has many two and three-eared stalks. It came up fully to everything
you claim for it.”
Wood’s Southern Snowflake
STRAIN 12-A — An excellent general purpose white corn ; in 95 days it makes
tender roasting ears; matures in 120 days. For five years we have been improv¬
ing this old reliable corn, selecting only from stalks with two large fine ears.
Until last year it made the highest yield of 26 white corns on our farm. In 1932
it was the highest yielding corn tested at the North Carolina Coastal Experiment
Station.
Glades Supply Company, in the Florida Everglades, says: “It is the best early
market roasting ear corn. It is early ; each stalk has two ears, yields double as
many roasting ears as other varieties. The ears are uniformly large, of excellent
quality and bring the top market price.” The shuck covers the tip, excluding
worms, and the* mature corn is hard, sound and weevil-resistant.
Wood’s Golden Prolific
STRAIN 16-A — The most prolific yellow corn in almost every Southeastern Ex¬
periment Station test; matures in 120 days. A yellow corn that will yield with
the best white corns and has a long, tight shuck that protects it. from worms and
weevil. It has established a fine record, making the highest yield of all yellow
corns at the South Carolina and Georgia Coastal Experiment Stations and the
three Virginia Experiment Stations, yielding 92 bushels to the acre in one test.
It was the second highest yielding yellow corn at two Tennessee Experiment
Stations. It makes two large ears on nearly every stalk ; the grain is large and
flinty; deep golden color; medium dent; rows very close and straight; tip and
butt well covered ; small cob : very high shelling percentage, and is weevil-
resistant.
Wood’s Improved White Dent
STRAIN 25-A — In 1928, from approximately 10,000 bushels, we selected 100 per¬
fect ears from each lot grown by fourteen leading corn growers. Each ear was
planted in a separate row and self-fertilized by hand. Only rows making the
highest yields with the strongest stalks and the right type of ear, free of disease,
were saved. After elimination, we had left about 1,000 of the strongest and most
virile strains, which we allowed to pollinate freely to produce our planting stock.
Last year this strain yielded more than any other in a test of twenty-eight varie¬
ties at the Williamsburg, Va., Experiment Station and yielded 89 bushels per acre
at the Holland, Va., Station. Matures in 120 days.
Wood’s Dixie
STRAIN 29-A — The highest yielding prolific white corn for average Southern
conditions. Two large ears to nearly every stalk; high shelling percentage; ma¬
tures in 120 days. It made the highest yield of more than thirty varieties tested
two years at both Virginia Coastal Experiment Stations, yielding 82 bushels to the
acre at Williamsburg, and 99% bushels at Holland. It stood second in an average
of two-year tests at both South Carolina Experiment Stations, yielding 61%
bushels to the acre and shelling 88.37 per cent at Florence. At the Georgia Coastal
Experiment Station it made about 50 bushels to the acre, and the highest yield at
the Louisiana Experiment Station. The ears are about 10 inches long and very
sound; the shuck is long and tight; many claim it makes the best meal.

ASPARAGUS
Plant in March.
Asparagus succeeds well in any
good rich soil, but prefers a light
warm soil. Soak the seeds for 24
hours; plant 2 inches deep in drills
2 feet apart. When well up, thin
out to 3 inches apart and give fre¬
quent and thorough cultivation. The
roots can be transplanted, either at
one or two years old, either in the
fall or spring. After the cutting sea¬
son is over spray with bordeaux
mixture to control rust; put into the
spray mixture arsenate of lead to
kill the asparagus beetles.
An ounce will plant a row 50 feet
long; 2 pounds will make enough
roots to set an acre.
NO. 3. WASHINGTON RUST - RE¬
SISTANT. — A heavy yielding,
rust-resistant asparagus devel¬
oped by the United States Depart¬
ment of Agriculture; produces ex¬
tra large, straight, luscious stalks
with firm tips. The color is rich
deep green slightly tinted with
purple at the tips. No other va¬
riety is as free from rust. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 14 lb. 30c; lb. 90c,
postpaid. Not postpaid, 2-lb. lots 75c per lb.; 5-lb. lots 65c per lb.;
10-lb. lots 60c per lb.
No. 4. PALMETTO. — A very early and prolific variety, producing
an abundance of large, thick, very tender stalks. The deep
green stalks are of the best quality. Palmetto has for many
years been the old reliable standby with asparagus growers.
Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 14 lb. 25c; lb. 75c, postpaid. Not postpaid, 2-lb.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS
Set Out in February and March.
CULTURE — Dig or plow out a trench 15 to 18 inches deep,
put in plenty of well-rotted manure, covering it with a few
inches of soil, then set the roots IV2 to 2 feet apart and cover
with 4 inches of soil. In the fall, cut off and burn the top growth,
plow or throw down the earth and give a good application of
stable manure E'arly in the spring fork this in and apply
ground animal bone. If white asparagus is wanted draw earth
around the stalks as they grow. Do not continue cutting too
long, as this exhausts the plants. 100 roots plant about 15x50
feet; 5,000 to 7,000 will plant an acre.

BUSH OR SNAP BEANS
IDAHO GROWN
Plant from April till August
1 pound plants 60 feet, 75 pounds plant an acre
Beans are sensitive to both cold and wet, so do not plant
till the ground is warm. To have a continuous supply,
plant every two weeks till the middle of August; further
south they may be planted even later. Make the rows 2 to
3 feet apart, drop the beans 3 inches apart and cover iy2
to 2 inches deep. Give frequent but shallow cultivation up
to blossoming time, not afterward, and never when the
plants are wet.
No. 16. Tendergreen Stringless Green Pod
[48 Days] — From the first to the last picking the pods
are absolutely stringless; exceptionally tender, meaty
pods that snap like icicles. The pods are 6 inches long,
perfectly round; there is no finer bean for the home gar¬
den as well as for market. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c;

No. 12. Full Measure
[48 Days] — Full Measure has
every qualification required of
a really first-class bean. It has earliness; it is one of the
most abundant bearers, and bears for a long season; it is
entirely stringless, and the round 6-inch pods are very
fleshy, firm and tender. For the home garden, as well as
for market, it is hard to imagine a finer bean. Pkt. 10c;
yz lb. 20c: lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.15; 10 lbs. $1.95,
postpaid. Not postpaid, lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 40c; 5 lbs. 90c;
10 lbs. $1.60; 100 lbs. $14.00.
No. 10. Extra Early Red Valentine bean^tands
adverse weather conditions better than Red Valentine.
For generations it has been the standard bean among
Southern gardeners, but is now a better bean than ever it
was, for it has been constantly improved. The full meaty
pods are round, tender and of really fine quality.
Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.05; 10 lbs.

INO. 11. Otnngless Black Valentine more frost than any other sort. On this account
particularly recommended for market growers. The pods are long, straight, very hand¬
some; are produced very profusely and present a very attractive appearance. Pkt. 10c;

Nr» 14 r.i'anl Shinvlpce f,.oon P,wl [45 Pays] — If you once grow Giant Stringless
1X0. 14. Uiant Otringless Isreen rod it is likely you will always grow them. In our
opinion no other bean exaels them in quality. They are almost as early as the earliest; the
handsome, meaty, round pods are about 6 inches long, perfectly stringless, brittle and of
as fine, tender quality as any one could wish. We have never known Giant Stringless to dis¬
appoint in either quality or productiveness. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs.

tirely stringless, tender and brittle. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.05;

No. 13. Bountiful or Early Six Weeks
[42 Days]. — We think there isn’t a better early flat-
podded green stringless bean than Bountiful, wheth¬
er grown for home use or for market. The rich green
pods are 5 to 6 inches long, broad, thick, meaty,
meltingly tender and with scarcely a trace of string.
One of the hardiest beans, and if left to ripen
makes a fine winter bean. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c;
2 lbs. 55c; 5 lbs. $1.15; 10 lbs. $1.95, postpaid.

No. 20. Dwarf Horticultural^^ VaW October)
[55 Days].— Here is a bean that can be used three
ways: as a snap bean while they are young; about
two weeks later they make a fine green bean for
shelling: when ripe there is no bean better for
baking, and they also make a splendid dry winter
bean. The broad, thick pods are about 5 Vs to 6 ins.

at practically all stages of growth. The rich,
yellow, thick and meaty pods measure 7 to 7 Vi
inches long, more than half an inch wide and
nearly as thick, and are produced in great abun¬
dance. Very early; the vines are strong and
vigorous. Productiveness is one of its strongest
points. Surecrop Stringless Wax is one of the
biggest yielding of all the wax beans, and has
the advantage of being very early. In hardiness
it probably excels all other wax beans, an advan¬
tage where early planting is practiced. Pkt. 10c;

A vigorous
wonderfully productive bean of excellent quality.
Its unusual vigor of growth causes it to throw
out long tendrils which at first give it the ap¬
pearance of a running bean, but it later assumes
the true bush form. This vigorous growth also
accounts for its wonderful yield and its long
bearing season. The handsome pods are 4% to 5
inches long, strictly stringless, free of fibre,
fleshy, very brittle and tender. Pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 20c;

Xiima beans are not as hardy as snap beans and should not be planted before the
ground is warm and frost is over. Plant bush limas in 3-foot rows, dropping- three
beans 15 inches apart in the row, eyes downward. For the tall varieties, set 6 to 8-
foot poles firmly in the center of the hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows before the seeds
are planted. Cover the beans \y2 inches deep; cultivate only when the vines are dry.

larger and thicker and there are more beans to the pod; makes a larger growth —
so much so that at first it seems as if it would put out runners. It is, however, of
the true bush form. It is a larger yielder than other bush limas, being practically
loaded down with pods, which are borne from early in the season continuously till
frost. Also valuable as a shell bean for winter use. We do not hesitate to recom¬
mend it as in every way the best and most prolific of all the bush lima varieties.

six pods. The beans are fat, meaty, tender and juicy, and of that dark-green color that indicates
fine quality. The beans are packed so closely in the pods that they are flattened at the ends and are easily shelled. The green beans,
even when full size, are tender, juicy and sweet; they may be used either green or dried; either wav they are rich and buttery, with the
real lima bean flavor. The growth is upright, about twenty inches, holding the pods off the ground so that they are not injured by be¬
ing beaten to the ground by wind or rain. Fordhook is the most popular of all the large-seeded limas. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c;

No. 41. Wilson Bush Lima [75 Days] — Wilson is the latest improvement in the large
type of bush lima beans. We have reproduced a photo¬
graph of a single plant to show how wonderfully it yields, more than 20 pods can be
counted on one side of the plant. These pods will average more than five inches long and
are filled with large, buttery beans that for flavor are not surpassed by any large lima
beans. The plant is strong and holds the pods well off the ground, preventing rotting dur¬
ing wet weather. In the trial grounds, when grown alongside other large bush limas, it
was ready for picking nearly ten days earlier than any other, yet it continued in bearing
for a long season. In earliness, abundance of yield and long bearing season, the Wilson
is not equalled by any other large bush lima, and in quality none is better.

or six beans two inches deep around each pole. They may also be planted in the cornfield and allowed

GARDEN BEETS SSP
For the earliest beets plant in a hot bed and transplant. For early outdoor crop plant in March
and make successive plantings till the end of July; the late plantings are to make beets for win¬
ter use and the seeds should be well soaked before planting. Beets thrive best in a light, clean,
deeply worked soil that has been previously well manured; smooth roots cannot be had if fresh
manure is used. Flant in rows 15 to 16 inches apart, cover one inch and thin to 4 inches apart.

CULTURE. — Planting's should he made beginning at corn planting
time till the middle of June, soaking the seeds for twenty-four
hours before planting. Make the rows 2 to 2 y2 feet apart, the
drills one inch deep on lands that have plenty of moisture in the
subsoil; on dry and sandy soil they should be planted deeper. Shal¬
low plantings germinate better and give a larger proportion of
vigorous plants. Thin out to stand 8 inches apart in the row;
young plants may be transplanted to fill up vacancies. Cultivate
as soon after planting as possible. As soon as frosts occur, dig
the roots, cut off the tops and pile on a well drained situation,
covering with straw or corn stalks and an inch of earth. As it
gets colder increase the covering to prevent freezing. They are
acrid when first dug, but if kept till January they will be sweet and
succulent. Always feed with some dry roughage.

PACTS ABOUT MANGELS OR STOCK BEETS
They make a splendid winter feed for cattle, sheep, hogs and
poultry.
They increase the milk flow of dairy cows.
They yield larger crops than turnips and rutabagas and are
higher in feeding value.
They keep stock and poultry in fine healthy condition.
They produce an immense yield of succulent and healthy
food at low cost.
When fed in combination with grain, mangels are worth al¬
most as much, pound for pound, as grain, for they aid digestion
and assimilation.
They increase the value of other feeds when fed in com¬
bination, besides the nutritive value of the roots themselves.
CAULIFLOWER
CULTURE. — Cauliflower requires the same treatment and cultiva¬
tion as cabbage and can be grown both early and late. Not as hardy
as cabbage in resistance to either hot and dry or cold weather.
They should have an abundance ofTwater in the summer and pro¬
tection during cold weather.
Plant the early varieties half an inch deep in a hot-bed in Jan¬
uary or February and transplant when proper size and when
freezing weather is past; they will stand a light frost. Por late
crop, plant Autumn Giant in May or June and treat exactly like
late cabbage. Set the plants 15 to 18 inches apart in 3-foot rows.
The soil in the seed-bed should not be richer than that to which
they are transplanted. When the heads are about 2 inches
across, tie up the outer leaves to blanch the head and protect
them from the
sun and weather;
this prevents
them becoming
bitter and discol¬
ored. This may
also be done by
breaking the ribs
of inside leaves
and allowing
them to cover the
heads. Time your
plantings so as to
have them head
before hot sum¬
mer c o nj e s on,
and during the
cooler weather of
the fall. Allow 90
to 100 days for
the early kinds,
120 to 130 days
for the late. Be
sure to transplant
to a rich, well-
fertilized, moist
soil, or give plenty of water, good and frequent cultivation, and cut
when the head is hard and compact, as when the heads open the
quality is impaired.

will please the most exacting grower. It forms large, solid,
heavy,, nearly globe shaped pure white heads, 9 to 10 inches

WOOD'S HIGH-GRADE CABBAGE
PLANTING DATES (For the Vicinity of Richmond.)
Spring- Planting'. — Plant the early varieties in boxes indoors or
in hot bed in January, February or March: for a summer crop
plant the early varieties outside from April to June.
Winter Cabbage. — Plant the late varieties in April, May or June
and transplant when large enough.
FOR CABBAGE WORMS. — A mixture of equal parts of arsenate
of lead and hydrated or air-slaked lime dusted on the cabbage at
intervals as the heads are forming will kill the worm and will not
impair the cabbage for human food.
CULTURE. — When transplanting cabbage plants from the seed
bed, set them in good rich soil that has been deeply dug and well
manured and apply a fertilizer containing plenty of ammonia.
The soil in the seed bed should not be richer than the soil where
the plants are to grow, otherwise the growth will be checked.
Set the plants as deep as the first leaf stems, give frequent and
deep cultivation, drawing the earth to the plants at each working.
Set the early varieties 18 inches apart in 2y2 to 3 foot rows; the
late varieties should be set 2 feet apart in 3 foot rows.
One ounce will plant 100 feet of row and produce about 2,000
plants; 6 to 8 ounces will make enough plants to set an acre.
No. 90 Wood’s Extra Early

— Whether you
grow for home use
or for market, you
should have
Wood’s Extra Ear¬

earliest cabbage in
cultivation and in
every way one of
the most desirable
extra early varie¬
ties. Although pre¬
eminently an early
cabbage it has size,

than the Jersey
Wakefield, though
not quite so solid,
but fully a week

ity is good, has
few loose leaves,

^f,e?liiie of security when he plants our selected Charleston
Vv akefield, for it is a thoroughbred. About a week later than our
Selected Jersey Wakefield, but considerably larger and heavier,
just as solid, with less pointed and thicker heads. It has earli¬
ness, hardiness, fine size and fine quality. These are the out¬

and. where the finest strains are grown. [75 Days]
A round headed cab¬
bage as early as
Charleston Wakefield
was unheard of until
Copenhagen Market
was intro¬
duced. In ad¬
dition to earli¬
ness it has re¬
markable size
for so early a
cabbage, the
heads averag¬
ing 8 to 10
lbs.; solid and
compact, with
few outside

More Than 100,000 Satisfied Planters Can Testify to
the Fine Quality of Our Well-Bred Wakefield
Earliness, hardiness, solidity, good size, uniformity, fine qual¬
ity —these characteristics go to make Wood’s Selected Early
Jersey Wakefield the most universally planted of all early cab¬
bages. It is grown in nearly every garden in the South, and
among market growers is planted almost entirely for the first
early market. This universal popularity demands that more than
ordinary attention be given to the selection of plants for breed¬
ing purposes, having in mind earliness, sureness to head, solidity
and uniformity of growth and maturity. In our Wakefields this
careful selection has been critical and continued through many
years, and we believe we have as good and uniform a strain as
can be had. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; J4 lb. 50c; lb. $1.75, postpaid.

No.106 Short-Stemmed Danish Ballhead
Originator’s Strain — Grown in Denmark.
[120 Days]. — One of the strong points about our strain of Short-
Stemmed Danish Ballhead is its wonderful keeping quality, for
the heads may be stored almost as safely as potatoes, and fur¬
nish a supply from fall till spring. They usually come out of
storage as fine and solid as when put away. The almost perfect¬
ly round heads are solid, hard, tight and surprisingly heavy, so
heavy that our Bullheads weigh about one-fourth more than
other cabbages of the same size. It is unfortunate that Ball-
head is not adapted for growing in all parts of the South, but
for the mountain districts, even our Wood’s Prize Head Late
Flat Dutch cannot equal it in solidity, weight and tightness of
head andj really wonderful keeping quality. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c;

Chinese Petsai or Celery Cabbage
A wonderful salad plant, growing 15 or
16 inches high, somewhat resembling cos
lettuce or probably more like swiss chard.
It yields an unusual amount of most ex¬
cellent salad. Cut up like cabbage and
served with mayonnaise or French dress¬
ing, it makes a splendid cole-slaw. Can be
boiled like cabbage if cooked quickly and
served with cream sauce, but is without
the strong flavor and odor of cabbage. The
hearts blanch to a crystalline white; whiter
than lettuce and more beautiful than cab¬
bage — every leaf, including the outside
ones, is delicate and tender.
Be sure to plant some just to know how
good it is.
Plant early in the spring and again in
July and August, transplanting 18 inches
apart in 2 ^ -foot rows. Time your spring
planting so it will head before hot weather;
it heads in 80 to 90 days.

No. 141. Celeriac or Turnip Rooted Celery l120 Days] — Grown exclusively for
r •'its roots, which are fine for soups
and stews or cooked and sliced as a salad. The roots keep all winter if packed in damp
sand or put into kilns like beets, carrots and turnips. Plant and cultivate like celery ex¬
cept it does not require earthing up. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 40c; V4 lb. 70c; lb. $2.50; 2 lbs.
$4.50; 5 lbs. $10.00, postpaid.
Plant in February, March or beginning of April, in drills 8 to 10 inches
apart, either in boxes indoors or in a bed of fine, rich soil, barely covering
seeds. If the soil is dry, press earth after covering, and keep clear of weeds,
or the young plants will be smothered. Be sure the seed-bed is kept thor¬
oughly moist until the seeds have germinated. When four inches high cut
off the tops to make the plants stocky. Transplant from July to October.
August and September settings succeed excellently and require less labor
than if set out earlier. To prepare a bed, dig trenches 6 inches deep and put
in 3 or 4 inches of well-rotted manure, dig in well and cover with fine soil.
Set the plants 6 to 8 inches apart, press the soil firmly and earth up as they
grow, but do not let the earth get into the heart of the plant. When severe
weather comes on, cover gradually with leaves, hay or straw, and place
boards on top; water-proof felt paper is also used. Celeriac needs no earth¬
ing up, and may be planted in rows 18
inches apart. Celery seeds germinate
slowly; soak for 24 to 36 hours before
planting.

Of firmer texture, more compact and solid than the self-blanching kinds, and consequently
better keepers. For late summer and early fall use we recommend that a portion of your
planting be one of the early kinds like White Plume and Golden Self-Blanching, but for
general use during the winter that one of the winter varieties be planted. The varieties
described below are not surpassed by any winter celery.

CUCUMBER =?■■
CULTURE — To have the earliest cucumbers, start in pots, small paper boxes, berry boxes or on
pieces of sod, grass side down so that they can be readily transplanted without checking the
growth. For the general crop, plant in the open ground as soon as the weather becomes settled
warm, about the end of April or during May, not owr an inch deep, in hills about four feet apart
each way. The hills should be previously prepared by mixing well-rotted manure with the soil.
Put about ten seeds in each hill, and thin out to four plants, and give frequent but shallow culti¬
vation. Gather whether wanted or not, for if left to ripen the yield is reduced. Por pickling, plant
in June or July. One ounce will plant fifty hills; two pounds one acre.

Bland’s Extra Early
GARDEN CORN
Plant from
April Till August.
The varieties on this page are not sugar corns. They are
hardier and can be planted earlier than the sugar corns
and make excellent roasting ears before the
sugar corns are ready.
CULTURE. _ Corn prefers a rich, warm, well-manured soil, but excel¬
lent garden corn may be raised on any good soil that has been deeply and
thoroughly worked before planting. Plant the early varieties the last of
March or early in April; SWEET CORNS ARE TENDER and should not
be planted till the ground is thoroughly warm, otherwise they are liable
to rot. Give frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation, and continue
plantings at intervals of about two weeks till July or early in August for
a succession of roasting ears throughout the season. Plant during July
or early in August for late roasting ears. One pound will plant 100 hills;
10 to 12 pounds plants an acre.
No. 150. Bland’s Extra Early [55 Days]
If you want the first roasting ears in your neighborhood,
you must plant Bland’s.
Bland’s is pre-eminently the earliest of all garden corns, fully a week
earlier than Extra Early Adams. No corn we have ever offered has had
such constant and growing demand; practically every general order calls
for Bland’s Extra Early. It makes an attractive ear of good size and fine
quality; the grains are pearly white, plump, milky and tender. If you
are like most gardeners and take a pride in having the earliest garden
in your neighborhood, you will have to plant Bland’s. W e recommend
it not only to the private gardener, hut to those who grow for market,
for in earliness it is ahead of any garden corn in cultivation and the size
and appearance of the ear should make it a ready seller.
No. 151. Trucker’s Favorite [65 Days]
Make a planting of Trucker’s Favorite to make bigger ears to come
in after Bland’s Extra Early.
There is no early garden corn so extensively grown in the South as
Trucker’s Favorite. It makes an attractive ear about 10 inches long,
with a good depth of plump, tender, sweet grains that many prefer to
sugar corn. It is much hardier than any sugar corn and can be planted
weeks earlier, and is ready for the table or market in about 65 days.
Unfortunately, since we introduced Trucker’s Favorite the name seems
to have appealed to many seedsmen as a good one, and it has been ap¬
plied to many other corns. If you order Trucker’s Favorite from half
a dozen seed houses you would probably get a different corn from each.
To have the real Trucker’s Favorite corn order from us, who origi¬
nated it.
Extra Early
Adams.
jvt i cn r i *7 i aj [60 Days]. — The earliest of all
No. 15z. txtra tarly Adams white corns except Bland’s
Extra Early; makes a small ear and stalk, and can be planted
close together. The grains are white and smooth; very hardy
and can be planted earlier than any of the sugar corns. It is
ready for the table in about six weeks after planting.
AT AT c II A/I la. [65 Days]. — Not as early as Big
No. 155. Norroik JVlairKet Early Adams, but makes a larger
ear, averaging about 9 inches long. The grains are fairly deep,
and when at roasting ear stage are tender and milky. It is hard¬
ier than any of the sugar corns, withstands cold ground better
and can be planted much earlier. A good early corn, but not as
highly regarded as Trucker’s Favorite. If not used
for roasting ears it makes a good yielding corn for
feeding.
Ideal or Big Early Adams
No. 154. Ideal or Big Early Adams
[70 Days]. — Intermediate as to earliness and size of
ear, between Bland’s Extra Early and Trucker’s Fa¬
vorite. It is hardier than any of the sugar corns and
can be planted earlier. The ears measure 8 to 9 ins.
long, with 12 or more rows of round white grains to
the ear. Grows about 6 feet high, allowing close
planting; early and hardy, allowing early planting.
This is a good corn to come in after Bland’s Extra
Early and before the bigger-eared Trucker’s Favor¬
ite.

SWEET OR SUGAR CORNS &
Do Not Plant Sweet Corn Till the Ground Is Thoroughly Warm
Golden Bantam Com.
No. 162. Black Mexican SLS
white in roasting ear state. In tenderness and fine quality none
can surpass it. The ears, usually eight rowed, are about eight
inches long and are less subject to attack by worms than most
early sweet corns. For family use we recommend it highly to
follow the first early varieties.
No. 163. Golden or Bantam Evergreen
[75 Bays] — The well-known Golden Bantam
and Stowell’s Evergreen were crossed and
gave a complete blend that combined the best
characteristics of each — a corn that has the
color and deliciously sweet flavor of the
Golden Bantam and the evergreen habit and
tenderness of the. Stowell's Evergreen. The
ears are larger than Golden Bantam with 12
to 14 rows of deep, sugarly, rich yellow
grains. If you plant Golden Evergreen we
are sure you will like it, for it has both size
and quality.
No. 159. Golden Giant S|?.TlT?o0asdo?
Golden Bantam and Howling Mob, and has all
the fine qualities of its parents with the addi¬
tional advantage of being about double the
size of Golden Bantam and only a few days
later. The cob is small and carries 14 to 18
straight rows of long, deep, thick orange col¬
ored grains that cover the entire cob. The
shuck covers the tip completely, protecting
the ear from worms and birds.
No. 158. Premo Extra Early [65 Bays].— The Earliest of
J all Sweet Corns, as early as
Extra Early Adams. Remarkably hardy for a sweet corn, and can
be planted earlier than most other sweet varieties. Considering
its extreme earliness, the ears are remarkably large, usually
two to the stalk. In quality and sweetness it is all that can be
desired.
No. 160. Golden Bantam £70 ®ays] — The earliest and the
sweetest yellow - grained sugar
corn. Although the ears are not large, this is more than made up
by its deliciously sweet flavor and tenderness. The ears are about
6 inches long, and usually two ears are borne on each stalk. Like
Premo Extra Early it can be planted earlier than most other
sugar corns.
No. 161 Howling Mob [?s Days] — Not extra early, but ex-
‘ “uwiing iviou tra goo(J and sweet Thig ig a fine
second early corn to come in after the extra early kinds like
Premo Extra Early and Golden Bantam. The ears are quite large,
7 to 8 inches long, with 12 to 14 rows of tender, pure
white grains that are deliciously sweet. Usually
two ears are borne to the stalk.
Golden or Bantam Evergreen Corn
No. 164. Country Gentleman [80 Bays] — One
J of the richest
flavored late sweet corns. Makes a good sized ear,
with a small cob, densely covered with irregular
rows of very long, slender pearly white grains of
the best quality. The ears are 8 to 9 inches long,
are usually borne two or more to the stalk, and will
keep tender and fit for use for a long season. It is
sometimes called “Shoe Peg’’ because of its long,
deep grains. Country Gentleman ranks among the
sweetest and most satisfactory of the later varie¬
ties.
No. 166. Stowell’s Evergreen {80V(Drtf(s] T^te
corn for home use, market and canning. Aside from
the size of the ears, which ar le large and well filled,
its strong point is that it remains in the green
state for such a long season. Grains are deep and
sugary.
POP CORNS
Plant a few rows to have plenty of tender, delicious
pop corn for next winter.
No. 180. QUEEN’S GOEBEN [115 Bays]— A large¬
eared and handsome yellow pop corn; grains large,
pop perfectly white and are exceedingly tender.
No. 182. HULLESS RICE [110 Bays] — Probably the
most popular of all pop corns. It pops pure white;
the quality is excellent.

of water. Make your first plantings in boxes or hot-beds and harden by ex¬
posure; later plant outside and transplant 6 to 8 inches apart in 18-inch rows;

make a beautiful border, the rows being thinned out by pulling as wanted. For
a constant supply plant every three weeks; lettuce may be had all seasons of
the year. An ounce will produce about 1,500 plants; 2 pounds will make plants

rough treatment in transit; its keeping quality will appeal to

though not as sweet as the
wrinkled varieties, but can be
planted earlier and are ready
for use earlier. Prolific, 2x/2 feet
high, strong, vigorous and
hardy, standing cold weather;
ripens uniformly and is one of

Little Marvel
(Varieties marked with star (*) are wrinkled)
2 pounds will plant 100 feet of drill; 90 pounds an acre.
Peas do best in a light, rich, loamy soil that has been liberally manured
the previous season. Plant the smooth varieties as early as the ground can
be worked. The wrinkled peas are not as hardy and
should be planted later, but they are sweeter and
batter flavored. For a continuous crop, plant every
two weeks — as late as August for a late crop. Plant
2 to 3 inches deep in double rows 6 to 8 inches apart,
2 y2 to 3 feet between the double rows; stake the tall _
varieties with brush and work the earth toward them two or three times
during growth. Gather as fast as they are fit to use, otherwise they will
stop bearing.

SQUASH or CYMLING Plant April to July
Summer Squash, 1 oz. plants 25 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. an acre. Winter Squash, 1 oz. plants 10 hills; 3 to 4 lbs. an acre.
CULTURE. — After danger of frost is past, plant in a warm well-pulverized, rich soil, mixing well-rotted manure
in each hill. Plant about 1 inch deep, 8 or 10 seeds to the hill, the summer varieties 3 to 4 feet apart, the winter
sorts 8 to 10 feet. When well grown, thin out, leaving 3 of the strongest plants in each hill. Do not bruise or
break the stems of the winter squashes when gathering.

Note the thickness — no
depression around the stem
and absence of scallops;
this means about double as
much meat as in other scal¬
loped squashes; they are
easier to prepare for the
table and with less waste,
and the quality and flavor
are extra fine. The plants
grow about 2 feet high, are
very vigorous and great
producers. It is so much
superior to other scalloped
squashes that every one
should give it preference.

There is no tomato that can compare with Brimmer
Although it is the largest and most productive of alL
tomatoes, this statement refers particularly to the
quality, flavor and meatiness of the fruits that are
without the acidity so objectionable in some varieties.
Oualitv — *n ®le breeding- of our Brimmer, quality is
^ * our first consideration. The flavor is delicious
and they are so free of acid that they may be eaten
with impunity by those to whom acid tomatoes bring
distress. For slicing, no tomato can compare with
Brimmer. The slices are usually large enough to fill

Size and Weiffht — Brimmers measuring 15 to 16 inches in circumference
5 and weighing 214 pounds or more and 15 to 18 inches in cir¬
cumference are not at all unusual. They are all meat, have very few seeds and
no core.
Productiveness — Although a few days later than the very early varieties, the
enormous size and remarkable yield more than make up for
the few days difference in earliness. The vines bear a tremendous load of fruits
right up to frost, and the fruits are large till the end of the season. Brimmer
not only makes big tomatoes, but a lot of them.
How to Grow Big Brimmers
up to strong five-foot stakes; this gives ample room for development, plenty
of sunlight, holds them off the ground, and enables the vines to continue to

later than Earliana, but more satis¬
factory. A vigorous grower and
enormously prolific, with splendid
foliage which protects the fruits.
The color is an intense scarlet;
ripens evenly to the stem; round,
slightly flattened at stem end, but
thicker through than most tomatoes.
Its greatest characteristic is its re¬
markable uniformity in size and
smoothness; no rough fruits. You
can grow it for either an early or a
late crop and be equally satisfactory
for both. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 ozs. 45c;

No. 425. June Pink Sometimes called
Pink Earliana.
[95 Days] — Except in color, it is identi¬

but has the further advantage of having
a longer fruiting season, the vines con¬
tinuing to bear and ripen its fruit until
frost. The fruit is medium in size, uni¬
form, smooth and attractive, without
crackd and green core. A first-class to¬
mato for the earliest crop in the home
garden, and a fine shipper, as it does not
readily bruise and crack. Pkt. 10c ; oz. 35c ;

good quality. Unfor¬

regular fruits. Every

stock is saved from
plants that bear only
perfect, smooth, ex¬

No. 436. Wood’s Improved Ponderosa
Beefsteak Tomato [110 Days]
Before our Brimmer was introduced, Ponderosa was the out¬
standing tomato in size and quality. Unfortunately, the old Pon¬
derosa was rough and uneven. In our improved strain the tendency
to produce rough fruits has been overcome without in any way
sacrificing the many fine qualities that made this fine tomato
famous. The plants are healthy and luxuriant, quite blight-resist¬
ant and continuous and abundant bearers. They are so vigorous
that even in dry seasons we have grown tomatoes of unusual size.
The fruits are practically all meat, with exceptionally few seeds.
If trained to a single stem, tomatoes weighing a pound or more are
not unusual. Color, purplish pink. Pkt. 10c; oz. 45c; 2 ozs. 80c;

GARDEN HERBS
Only comparatively few housewives knew the delicious and
appetizing flavors to be had by the addition to many dishes of
one or more of the old-fashioned herbs. They are easily grown
and preserved for use simply by drying and placing in tight jars.
No order for garden seeds should fail to include them.
CULTURE. — Soil for herbs should be carefully prepared and
well cultivated, as the plants are, for the most part, delicate and
easily choked out by weeds. Plant in drills 16 to 18 inches apart
and thin out as soon as the plants are large enough.
TO PRESERVE HERBS, the plants should be cut when in
bloom and wilted in the sun and thoroughly dried in the shade,
and then kept in jars or bottles in order to preserve their season¬
ing and medicinal qualities.

WOOD'S TREATED TOBACCO SEEDS
WOOD’S TOBACCO SEEDS are all treated as recommended by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station
at Blacksburg. This treatment is to prevent wildfire, black fire, angular leaf
spot and other tobacco diseases.
One Ounce Will Sow 50
Square Yards.
CULTURE. — A very clean piece
of land is best for the tobacco
plant beds, hence it is customary
to burn a piece of land in the
woods for plant beds. This de¬
stroys grass, weeds and insects,
adds fertility through the action
of the wood ashes, and leaves the
ground in good order. The seeds
are sown about February and pro¬
tected by plant-bed cloth to keep
off tobacco flies. When large
enough and weather is settled
(about June), set the plants out in
highly manured or fertilized soil
in 3 Vt -foot rows, 3 feet between
the plants. Constant care must be
given, cultivating, suckering,
worming, etc.
FOR TOBACCO WORMS ap¬
ply either arsenate of lead or
paris green with one of the dust
guns offered on page 90. They
apply the insecticides perfect¬
ly and the cost is small when
it is remembered that they will
last for years.

Cnw j.l C-pJ. either broadcast or in rows, and cover light-
W lne ^eeui> ly — a good general rule is to cover four to
six times the size of the seeds — and press the soil firmly. Small
seeds cannot come up if covered too deep. Very fine seeds should
be sown on the surface and pressed into the soil. To have the
earliest blooms, flowers that stand transplanting should be sown
early in boxes indoors. Water with a fine spray, do not let the
soil dry out, do not keep the plants saturated, as they may damp
off. When three or four leaves have formed transplant one inch
apart in boxes, or in the open ground if warm enough.
TL Snil l3est suited to flowers is a light rich loam, made as
1 11c oun fine anci smooth as possible. If heavy, mix with sand
to lighten and make it friable. Many seeds are very small and
require a fine seed-bed.
HALF HARDY and TENDER FLOWERS should not be sown or
transplanted outside until the weather is settled and warm.
HARD SHELLED SEEDS like Canna, Evening Glory, Brazilian
and Japanese Morning Glory should have a hole filed through
the outer shell, or soaked in warm water 36 hours before
planting.

Giant Zinnias
(Youth and Old Age)
FEW garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains
have been developed. For bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a

feet apart and cover the seeds about Vi inch deep; or start indoors and transplant out¬
side when the ground is warm. Hardy annual.

Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover
The only disease resistant red clover and the best adapted for growing- in the South.
The Northern Neck of Virginia is the only section that grows in commercial quanti¬
ties disease resistant red clover adapted to the South. This is an isolated peninsula,
has no railroads, and for more than 300 years has been forced to save its own clover
seeds. By natural selection, this strain has become highly resistant to anthracnose or
mildew. It makes a large, vigorous growth and stands cold winters.
Tn our field tests of red clovers from every producing section in America, the Virginia
Northern Neck clover showed a 100 per cent stand the second year, and a heavy growth,
24 inches high. Red clover grown in the western part of Virginia, generally grown from
Western seeds, had an 80 per cent stand 19 inches tall, which is on a parity with other
mid-western grown seed.
WOOD’S VERIFIED ORIGIN CLOVER SEEDS
The TJ. S. Government established the Verification Service
as a guarantee to farmers the use of adapted known origin
clover seed. This service does not add to the cost, but is a
protection to buyers in securing seed from sources that have
proven to be hardy, adaptable and giving high yielding crops.
Demand U. S. Verified Origin clover seeds for your own
protection.
RED CLOVER foT.A'A!5 lls’
Red clover nc t only furnishes excellent pasturage and fine hay crops, but improves
the land and adds humus to the soil. On good land it will yield two cuttings a year. It
is particularly well adapted for sowing with orchard grass and tall meadow oat grass,
as it ripens at the same time, and sowing the three together will give larger yields of
better quality hay than sowing either alone.
A Good Mixture. — 15 pounds of orchard grass, 12 pounds of tall
meadow oat grass and 8 pounds of clover will give excellent re¬
sults, and if the land is to be pastured, the addition of 6 pounds
of herd’s grass or red top will increase the pasturage and the
second cutting of hay.

ALSIKE CLOVER SrAS**-
Alsike clover has plenty of leaf, grows thicker, is finer stemmed,
makes better hay and more and better grazing than red clover,
and will grow on soils too acid, too wet or too deficient in lime to
produce a paying crop of other clovers. It is hardier and will
stand uncut without deteriorating the quality of the hay better
than other clovers. It is adapted to a variety of soils, succeeding
on light upland and loamy as well as on
bottom lands. The hay also contains a
higher per cent of digestible protein. Par¬
ticularly valuable for grazing, for it makes
a thick undergrowth, greatly increasing
the yield. If you have not succeeded in
getting a stand of other clovers because your land is acid or moist,
sow alsike. By mail postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.35; 10 lbs. $2.55;

MAMMOTH, or SAPLING CLOVER
Similar to red clover, the difference being that it grows larger
and is later in maturing. It is considered superior as an improver
on account of the extra growth. It is a good variety for thin soils
or to seed with timothy, meadow fescue and herd’s grass. In ap¬
pearance the seed is identical with red clover, and it is impossible
to distinguish between them. We always obtain our supplies from
reliable sources, and use every reasonable
care to supply Mammoth or Sapling clover
as ordered. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to the
acre by itself; or with timothy sow 6
pounds of clover and 8 pounds of timothy.

the Atlantic seaboard and
Southern States, Oklahoma- — -
Kansas grown; in mountain
sections use Grimm.
FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA
GARTHOFNER RANCH GRIMM ALFALFA
The hardiest and most productive strain.
Mr. Garthofner, who is known as the “Alfalfa King” of Northern Montana, has given
personal supervision to the roguing of plants from year to year from a standpoint of
pure seed production. This strain is grown on non-irrigated land, extremely drought-
resistant, the average rainfall being only ten inches, and has survived the heaviest
freezing conditions. You will find this Grimm Alfalfa the most dependable and hardy
Strain available.
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the severest winters of
our mountain sections. It has a deep branching root growth that gives the plant a firm
hold on the soil and prevents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also adapts it
to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, or if your farm is in the
mountain section, it will pay you to give Grimm the preference.
The origin of Garthofner Ranch Grimm Alfalfa is verified by the United States De¬
partment of Agriculture. By mail postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.50; 10 lbs. $2.85; 25 lbs. $6.40;

Genuine Kansas Alfalfa
U. S. Verified Origin
An alfalfa that can stand the severe win¬
ters of Kansas will come through our win¬
ters splendidly. In a test of alfalfas from
many sources made by the Virginia Agri¬
cultural Experiment Station four plantings
of Kansas alfalfa stood the winters better
than any in their test and yielded more than
4% tons per acre. It makes a quick spring
growth and gives several cuttings each sea¬
son. By mail postpaid, lb. 32c; 5 lbs. $1.15;

Kansas-Oklahoma Alfalfa
U. S. Verified Origin
Grown along Kansas-Oklahoma State line,
where the winters are hard — only a short
distance south of the Kansas producing sec¬
tion. On our Williamson Farm it has yielded
3 to 5 cuttings a year for seven years. Do
not confuse it with cheap., tender alfalfa
grown in Arizona, which is widely sold as
“alfalfa” without reference to its origin.

WOOD’S DIXIE WHITE CLOVER
For Pasturage
Makes a vigorous winter growth and furnishes abundant grazing
throughout the year under severe Southern conditions, thriving
notwithstanding heat, cold and drought. It should be seeded on
every lespedeza, bermuda and carpet grass pasture. In a two-year
test of white clovers from all parts of the world it made the best
and earliest grazing, the most luxuriant winter and early spring
growth (10 inches) and stood the hot, dry summers. A high au¬
thority says: “Its hay contains 22%% protein, almost twice as
much as alfalfa, red clover or lespedeza, and dairymen can feed it
instead of concentrates.” Sow 5 lbs. to 8 lbs. per acre. Bv mail

WHITE SWEET CLOVER
Our Best Soil Builder.
There is probably no crop that will improve soil fertility as fast
as Sweet Clover if a reasonable stand and growth is obtained.
Sweet Clover will grow on any type of soil, provided it is well
limed and inoculated, and like all other crops it responds readily
and profitably to fertilizer and manure.
When sowing Sweet Clover in the spring some nurse crop should
always be used, as it does not compete strongly with weeds, and
when sown alone it is likely to be killed out. Any of the early
small grains, such as Burt and Fulghum oats or a fall-sown grain
are the best nurse crops for Sweet Clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per
acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 22c; 5 lbs. 70c; 10 lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs.

LESPEDEZA The Alfalfa of the South
Crop of Certified Korean Lespedeza — Yielded 2 y2 tons of hay per acre,
It grows anywhere — on acid soils,
waste lands, worn-out, gravelly
soils and galled hillsides, where
nothing1 else of value will grow.
Responds exceptionally well to lime.
Withstands droughts that would kill
other crops.
Will stand heavy grazing.
Nearly as high in feeding value as
alfalfa, and relished by all stock.
A valuable soil improver, for it is a
legume.
It increases the grazing capacity of
pastures by 25 per cent.
Reseeds itself every year even when
severely grazed, but is easily killed
out by a cultivated crop.
INOCULATE WITH

Korean Lespedeza
AN EARLY DROUGHT RESISTANT SOIL BUILDER
Does Especially Well in High Altitudes
The abundant growth, deep penetrating roots covered with
nodules make Korean Lespedeza an outstanding grazing and soil
building legume, especially for the mountain section. It makes
a larger growth than ordinary japan clover, 15 to 24 inches, single
plants having a spread of 3 feet; has larger leaves; furnishes
pasturage about three weeks earlier.
The strong root growth penetrates about 8 inches deep, making
it highly drought resistant, and thriving on poor, wornout soils
where alfalfa and clovers would fail.
In feeding value it is about equal to alfalfa; has no woody stem;
holds it leaves well and produces a full crop the first season. It
is an annual, reseeds indefinitely although closely grazed. For a
year round pasture sow a mixture of Korean Lespedeza, hairy
vetch, orchard and herds grasses.
It is quite a general custom to sow in grain crops about the
middle of February or early in March. A harrowing before sow¬
ing is the only preparation necessary. When sown alone broad¬
cast 25 lbs. to the acre during late freezes after a light harrowing,
but do not cover the seeds.

SERICEA LESPEDEZA - Perennial
A Wonderful Drought-Resistant Legume
Four to nine tons of hay per acre. Breaks up hardpans. Stands indefinitely.
Doubles the grazing. A terrific seeder. Drought-Proof.
Prior to this year, prices of Sericea Lespedeza have been too high for agricultural pur¬
poses except from a seed-producing standpoint. Now it can be secured at low prices, which
will encourage broadcast seedings. Sericea is primarily a hay crop that will thrive well on
poor acid soils where Red Clover and Alfalfa are not profitable. Its root system reaches one
to three feet in the soil for nourishment, and even in the driest weather will continue grow¬
ing and flourish. The second-year growth each plant puts out twenty to thirty stalks from
five to six feet tall, producing a better quality hay in succeeding years and giving two to
four cuttings per season. The hay is tender and of excellent quality, and relished by all kinds
of live stock. A terrific seeder, ranging in yields from 250 to 650 pounds of seed per acre the
first year, and 800 to 1,500 pounds the second season.
The seed-bed should be well pulverized and firm, and seed sown broadcast at the rate of
20 to 25 pounds per acre. Sow during March, April and May. Early seedings seem to give
best results. Sericea seed has a very hard outer coat, which makes it important that only
scarified seed be sown. No fertilizer or lime necessary, but like other legumes readily respond
to their use. We can supply both the early maturing strain No. 04730 and late strain No.

WOOD'S HIGH-GRADE GRASS SEEDS
Showing1 enormous yield of Sudan Grass. One of our best
quick-growing' summer hay-pasture grasses.
Sudan Grass
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre broadcast.
Sudan Grass is primarily a hay grass, its slender leafy stems
making it easy to handle with ordinary haying machinery. It
makes its greatest growth and produces the most feed during July,
August and September, when native grasses are less productive. It
can be grown successfully on almost every cla&s of soil from a
heavy clay to a light sand, besides being particularly drought and
heat resistant. It yields well in most parts of the United States,
but does best in a warm climate, and the hay is relished by cattle,
horses and sheep.
The feeding value of Sudan Grass hay is equal to that of millet,
timothy and other non-legume roughages. Work stock can be win¬
tered in good condition on Sundan Grass without any supplement¬
ary grain ration. It should largely supplant millet, which yields
only a single cutting, whereas Sudan will give from two to three;
stools out wonderfully after the first cutting; it is not uncommon
to find a hundred stems growing from a single root. It is an excel¬
lent catch crop, requiring only 45 days before the first cutting.
Primarily an excellent hay crop, Sudan is gaining in popularity
as a summer pasture. In regions of low rainfall and high tempera¬
tures, its carrying capacity is superior to that of any other grass
or legume. Sudan may be profitably grown with early maturing
varieties of cow peas and soy beans, as being of erect growth it
lends support to the pea and bean vines and makes the cutting
easier and allows them to cure more quickly; the mixture will give
a better balanced ration than either fed alone. When sowing with
cowpeas and soy beans, sow the Sudan after the peas and beans
have been planted and begun to grow.
Sow after the ground becomes thoroughly warm, preferably
broadcast at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre. A grain drill may
be used, set to sow two pecks of wheat. Cut when in bloom, for at
that stage the feeding value is highest; yet there are few grasses
so little injured by standing beyond the proper stage for cutting.
By mall postpaid, lb. 22c; 5 lbs. 70c; 10 lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs. $2.55;
50 lbs. $4.90.
Not postpaid, lb. 12c; 5 to 24 lbs. 9c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs1. 7^c per
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 7o per lb. No charge for bag’s.
Bermuda Grass
The Blue Grass of the South.
Makes a vigorous and persistent growth in every part of the
South; lasts for years; stands a long, hot summer without injury;
grows well in any soil that is not too wet; bears heavy grazing and
trampling with little injury; recovers quickly when grazed down,
and as a grazing and fattening grass has few equals. If grown
with bur clover, japan clover, carpet grass and vetch, an all-the-
year-round grazing may be had. For lawns, golf courses and ath¬
letic grounds it makes a tough, even turf without clumps, and
recovers quickly after cutting. To have an all-the-year-round
green, mix with perennial rye grass, as Bermuda turns brown after
frost. Sow when the ground is thoroughly warm, and only on well-
prepared land. Sow broadcast and cover very lightly with a roller
or light brush. Germinates very slowly. Sow 12 to 15 pounds to
the acre; for lawns, 2 pounds to 1,000 square feet. By mail post¬
paid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.85; 25 lbs. $4.05; 50 lbs. $8.00.
Not postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 to 24 lbs. 15c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 13Y2c per

SOUTHERN PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE No. 12 — See
page 62 for complete information. Highly recommendied for
warm climates, where the finer grasses will not stand the hot,
dry summers.
Carpet Grass
The grass that thrives on close grazing.
Carpet grass is fast proving itself one of the most valuable per¬
manent grazing grasses for that section of the South extending
from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf and approximately 125 to 150
miles inland. It is remarkable for its ability to grow on poor sandy
soils; it thrives vigorously on any kind of soil if moisture condi¬
tions are favorable, even if the land is acid. Compared with Ber¬
muda grass, carpet grass is its equal in feeding value; it may be
grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier in the spring; it
does better on poor sandy soils and furnishes more grazing. It is
strictly a pasture grass and stands close grazing and heavy tramp¬
ling; in fact, it thrives best and spreads more rapidly when closely
grazed, and trampling seems to improve it. It does splendidly sown
with japan clover and bur clover, the combination giving an all-
the-year pasture. All carpet grass pastures should have added
5 lbs. japan clover to the acre. On public parks and golf courses it
will make a thick, leafy sod that improves with close cutting. Car¬
pet grass may be grown wherever the temperature does not fall be¬
low 10 degrees. It is easily eradicated by plowing. Sow from early
spring till mid-summer 10 lbs. to the acre, on lawns and public
parks heavier seeding is advisable. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs.
$1.00 ; 10 lbs. $1.85; 25 lbs. $4.05; 50 lbs. $8.00.
Not postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 to 24 lbs. 15 c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 13V&o per
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 13c per lb. No charge for bags.
Chewing's Fescue
On© of the most important and finest of all tnrf grasses. Chew¬
ing’s Fescue is a hardy grass, producing very fine dark-green
leaves, and has a dense turf-forming habit. It is a permanent
grass that will grow on any type soil, particularly fine for shady
places, and its turf improves with age. We strongly recommend
including Chewings Fescue in all pasture as well as lawn grass
mixtures. A special point in its favor is its durability on the poorer
types of gravelly and sandy soils, standing to a marked degree the
extreme heat in summer and cold in winter. The stock we are offer¬
ing is the finest quality New Zealand grown, testing over 99 per
cent pure. Sow 30 pounds per acre alone. In mixtures include at
least 10 to 20 per oent of Chewings Fescue. By mail postpaid,
lb. 36c; 5 lbs. $1.40; 10 lbs. $2.65; 25 lbs. $5.90; 50 lbs. $11.65.

lb.; 100 lbs. and over 20c per lb. No charge for bags.
Poa Trivialis
Rough Stalk Meadow Grass.
A fibrous rooted perennial grass that is valuable on account of
its quick growth, productiveness and nutritious qualities. It starts
early in the spring and continues green till late in the fall, grow¬
ing to perfection on rich moist soils and in shaded places. As it
prefers shelter, the best results are had by sowing it with other
grasses, such as red top or herd’s grass and Kentucky blue grass.
A splendid grass for mixed permanent pastures. By mail postpaid,
lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.60; 10 lbs. $3.05; 25 lbs. $6.90; 50 lbs. $13.65.

bnSSD l£SCIJ£ other fine grazing grasses can be made

ABOUT QUALITY GRASS SEEDS
There is probably more difference in the quality of grasses
than in any other seeds, and in many cases these differences
can only be determined by expert analysts. The Bermuda
Grass we offer is the fine leaf cultivated turf -producing strain
testing over 99 per cent pure, whereas there are grades run¬
ning as low as 85 and 90 per cent pure. This condition as to
quality applies to Carpet Grass. Our Sudan Grass is guar¬
anteed free from Johnson Grass, testing fully 99 per cent
pure and 90 per cent germination. Our Fescues, which are
imported, are shipped in cool chambers to preserve the germi¬
nation, and unless shipped in this manner the vitality of the
seed in nine cases out of ten will be impaired fully 50 per
cent.
Our wide experience over a period of many years has given
us a knowledge of buying and offering to our customers the
finest quality grass seeds obtainable. When ordering WOOD’S
HIGH-GRADE GRASS SEEDS, you are assured of the best.

Orchard Grass
Tall Meadow Oat Grass Evergrreen Grass
This grass seems to make more leafage and grazing, a larger
yield of hay and to keep green longer, both during the winter and
summer,, than most grasses. It withstands the heat, drought and
cold; starts early in the spring and continues to give good grazing
until late in the fall. It can be cut twice a season, frequently pro¬
ducing nearly double as much hay as timothy. Its nutritive quali¬
ties are first class; ripens at the same time as orchard grass and
red clover. It is best adapted for good loamy uplands, and better
than most other grasses on light and sandy soils. Sown with or¬
chard grass and red clover, sow 12 lbs. tall meadow oat grass, 15
lbs. orchard grass, and 8 lbs. red clover. The addition of 6 or 7 lbs.
of red top or herd’s grass to this mixture increases the aftermath
and the yield of grazing. AVhen sown by itself, sow 25 to 30 lbs. to
the acre, either in the spring or fall. Cut for hay at blooming time.

Creeping Bent Grasses
Seaside Bent (Agrostis Maritima) — A strong creeper that
makes a fine turf. It is adapted to heavy soils
that are free of lime, and will stand almost any amount of mois¬
ture. It spreads rapidly by runners which strike root at the
joints. It makes a most excellent lawn and an unusually fine
golf green of fine texture and beautiful dark green color.
By mail postpaid, lb. $1.05; 5 lbs. $4.75; 10 lbs. $9.35; 25 lbs.

habit is not as strong as Seaside Bent, but it is
better adapted to light soils. It makes a beautiful turf for lawns
and golf greens. By mail postpaid, lb. 95c; 5 lbs. $4.25; 10 lbs.

Orchard Grass
A very vigorous grower and yields large crops of excellent and
nutritious hay, as well as having special value as a pasture grass,
furnishing good grazing from early spring till winter. It responds
quickly after cutting or grazing, for in a few weeks of seasonable
weather it is ready for grazing again. It is particularly adapted
for pastures, and has the further advantage of growing well in
shade, giving excellent results when sown in orchards and shaded
parks. It adapts itself to a variety of soils, provided they are well
drained, but succeeds best on loamy uplands or moderately stiff
soils, although it does quite well on soils that are inclined to be
sandy. It is a deep-rooted perennial grass,, but does not form a
true sod, as it grows in tufts, so it is recommended that other
grasses be sown with it. A mixture of 15 lbs. of orchard grass, 12
lbs. of tall meadow oat grass and 8 lbs. of red clover has proved
very satisfactory; is recommended for hay and pasture. Red-Top
or herd’s grass, Kentucky blue, meadow fescue, perennial and
Italian rye grasses and alsike clover, may be added to make a per¬
manent pasture. When sown alone, sow 30 to 35 lbs. to the acre.

Meadow Fescue or English Blue Grass
Excellent for both Hay and Pasture
A hardy perennial grass that should be included in every hay
and pasture mixture. It is very valuable for pasture as it comes
on early in the spring and also remains late into the fall and win¬
ter. For wet soils, few grasses are equal to Meadow Fescue, mak¬
ing a fine hay crop that cattle thrive on, whether fed green or dry.
Stands close grazing and makes more and thicker foliage than even
Orchard grass or Tail Meadow Oat grass. A good mixture when
sown for hay is 7 lbs. meadow fescue, 6 lbs. herd’s grass, 8 lbs.
timothy and 5 lbs. sapling clover. For a permanent pasture we
recommend 10 lbs. meadow fescue, 8 lbs. orchard grass, 8 lbs. tall
meadow oat grass, 6 lbs. Kentucky blue, and 5 lbs. red clover. When
sown alone, sow 30 lbs. to the acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs.

Ital ian Rye Grass
—Yields three or four cuttings a
year of most nutritious hay; a very
valuable grass, particularly adapt¬
ed for rich loamy soils or low grounds; does better in damp situa¬
tions than most grasses. Frequently used as a lawn grass in the
South, giving a quick covering to the lawn. Sow 30 to 35 lbs.

TIMOTHY
The Most Extensively G-rown Hay Grass — 12 to 15 lbs. Sow an Acre
For hay, timothy is the best known and most extensively grown of all grasses. A stand is easily
established, it is inexpensive to sow, it starts quickly and yields its best crop the year after it is
sown, but the following year’s crop may be equally as heavy if liberally top-dressed with stable ma¬
nure. It stands up well, is easily cured and is heavy for its bulk, for which reason it has proved the
most profitable hay crop when grown for market. The yield on good land frequently runs from 1%
to 3 tons to the acre.
Timothy requires good land to make good crops — this applies particularly to timothy, for, unlike
other grasses, it does not enrich the soil, but exhausts it, so that top-dressing with stable manure
or fertilizer is advised; the fertilizer should contain a liberal amount of ammonia. If sown with
sapling clover the clover will help to supply nitrogen.
Meadow fescue or English blue grass, red top or herds grass and sapling clover all mature at the same
season as timothy, and are good grasses to sow with it for hay and grazing, increasing the yield of
hay and the yield and value of the pasturage. A good mixture is 6 ibs timothy, 5 lbs. red top or
herds grass, 7 lbs. meadow fescue and 5 lbs. sapling clover; this mixture will furnish an excellent
hay and fine pasturage on good loamy soils or on low ground. If timothy and sapling clover are sown
together, mix 8 lbs. timothy and 6 lbs. sapling clover. , .
The common practice in the West of sowing timothy and red clover mixed is not recommended, as
red clover ripens earlier than timothy and timothy is easily injured by early cutting and the hay
Shrinks in weight. The best time to cut is when it is in bloom; it is then easier to cure and its
feeding value is highest. .
Timothy grows best on clay or heavy loam, lowlands and in mountainous districts, but grows quite
satisfactorily on any good loamy soil, provided there is abundant moisture.

RED TOP, OR HERDS GRASS
ADAPTABLE TO ANY SOU. CONDITION
Sow 12 to 15 lbs. to the acre.
Red top or herds
grass is one or the
most valuable and
satisfactory grasses
for the South, and it
is highly recommend¬
ed for sowing on
lands that will not
grow Kentucky blue
grass. It is well
adapted to a great va¬
riety of soils, suc-
c e e d i n g well on
light, sandy soils, as
well as stiff upland
and lowground, and
grows better in moist
situations than al¬
most any ocher grass.
It is one of the easi¬
est grasses to get a
stand, and once es¬
tablished, it thickens
and improves, taking
possession of the land
and increasing in
yield every year.
Red top or herds
grass should be in¬
cluded in all mix¬
tures intended for
permanent pasture or
hay. It makes excel¬
lent pasturage and
fine quality hay.
When well estab¬
lished it spreads and
will supplant other
grasses. It is also
one of the best grasses for hillsides or lands likely to wash.
As it matures at the same season as timothy, the two grasses
are splendidly adapted for sowing together for hay and for
grazing afterwards, sowing 6 lbs. red top or herds grass and 8
lbs. of timothy per acre. A mixture containing 6 lbs. red top or
herds grass, 6 lbs. timothy, 7 lbs. meadow fescue, and 5 lbs. sap¬
ling or mammoth clover will give greater variety to the hay.
Cut for hay a little before or during full bloom.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS
THE GRASS THAT MADE KENTUCKY PAMOUS.
Sow 35 to 40 lbs. to the acre.
On lands that
will grow Kentuc¬
ky blue grass there
is probably no oth¬
er grass that
equals it for mak¬
ing a permanent
pasture, nor one
that will yield a
richer, sweeter and
more nutritious
pasture. Except on
very light sandy
soils it should be
included in all
grass mixtures
sown for grazing.
It is one of the
first to start up in
the spring and
gives the very fin¬
est grazing till
winter.
Kentucky blue
grass is hardy,
will withstand
coldest weather,
and the trampling
of hoofs does not
hurt it as the roots
are thick and
stout, and form a
tough sod, but do
not turn stock on
it till the grass is
strong and well es¬
tablished. As it
takes a year or
more to become well established, we suggest that it be sown
with at least one other grass. If sown with a single grass use
perennial rye grass, but a better mixture would be 15 lbs. Ken¬
tucky blue, 5 lbs. red top or herds grass, 5 lbs. perennial rye
grass, 10 lbs. meadow fescue and 5 lbs. red clover.
Although slow to establish itself, Kentucky blue grass, once
a stand is had on land to which it is adapted, lasts for many
years, as the plants spread with their underground roots and will
improve year to year, and rarely needs reseeding. A thick, well
set sod of Kentucky blue grass makes an ideal pasture, and for
all lands adapted to its growth should be one of the principal
constituents of all pasture mixtures.
Spring sowings of Kentucky blue grass should be made from
the middle of February till the middle of April — the earlier the
better to give it a good start before the weeds. Cover with a
roller or brush; the roller affords the best possible covering for
all fine grass seeds as it does not cover them too deep and as¬
sures a firm seed bed.
Our special grass and clover pasture mixtures described on
page 62 all contain a liberal proportion of Kentucky blue grass.

HAY MIXTURES «» Make Splendid Pasturage
OUR SPFOTAI MIXTITRFS — Our special mixtures for mowing1 for hay are com-
1 '-'^^•Jposed principally of grasses which ripen together for
the first cutting; hut they also contain smaller proportions of other grasses which will
increase considerably the second cutting, and also add very much to the pasturage
yield, in case it is desired to use the fields for pasturage afterward. These grass mix¬
tures afford splendid crops of hay of the finest quality and highest feeding value, and
after being cut wall give continuous and abundant pasturage of the richest and most
nutritious character till winter comes. Fields sown with these mixtures will last for
years. May be used for hay exclusively, or for hay and pasturage as may he most
needed.

What Grass and Clover Mixtures Shall I Sow?
In an effort to help our customers choose the correct grass and clover
mixtures for best results in their particular locality, we are showing a map
of the Eastern United States which will be of help in securing the correct
seeds.
UNSHADED PORTION — We suggest the use of Wood’s Special Grass
and Clover Mixtures Nos. 1 to 10. The grasses in these mixtures are well
adapted to these sections as well as States further north and west than
shown on the map.
SHADED PORTION — In this section of the country, the finer grasses will
not thrive during the long summer months. For these localities, Wood’s
Southern Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixture will thrive and give long,
lasting crops. These sections are also especially adapted for sowing of
Carpet Grass, Bermuda Grass, and all lespedezas except Korean.
Why Sow Mixed Grasses
All authorities agree that a mixture of grasses will yield a better crop
than a single grass.
The greater the number of grasses in a mixture the thicker the stand, and
a more prolonged growth is produced.
Mixtures occupy the ground more completely than a single grass and help
to keep out weeds.

strong stalks 14 feet tall or taller. At the Connecticut Experiment
Station last year our Eureka was tested with stocks from three
other leading growers and yielded 21.8 tons per acre: the others

The Heaviest Producer of All Ensilage Corns
The Virginia Experiment Stations says: “The tallest and best
ensilage corn; large, sturdy stalks, strong roots, no barren stalks,
many with two large ears.” Massachusetts State College: “Wood’s
Pamunkey made the most ensilage, both green and dry stover, and
yielded 40 bushels grain per acre, and might be considered the best
of all ensilage corns.” Michigan Experiment Station: “It grew
considerably taller than any other variety and reached the right
stage for ensilage before frost.” New Jersey Experiment Station:
“Tallest growth and yielded almost double the average of 75 varie¬
ties tested three years.” Connecticut Experiment Station: “Aver¬
aged 20.2 tons green silage per acre.” By mail postpaid, y2 peck 75c;

Cocke’s Prolific Ensilage
Although it did not make quite as much green weight as our
Pamunkey Ensilage (19 tons per acre), it made the most dry mat¬
ter of all corns (4.7 tons per acre) in a three-year Connecticut Ex¬
periment Station test, and averaged over 60 bushels grain per acre.
Maryland State College says: “We use Wood’s Cocke’s Prolific
exclusively on our dairy farm, as it made the highest yield of all
varieties in a thirteen-year test, making over double the average
yield for the State. It is also superior to other varieties in feeding
value, in number of ears, making three long, slender ears per stalk,
and is easier to handle and put through the cutterbox.” By mail

Ten days earlier than most ensilage corns; makes high yields of
grain: large ears, 12 inches long; extra large golden grains high in
protein and sugar. Tn 1931 and 1932, at Connecticut Experiment
Station, it averaged 69 bushels per acre, considerably more than
any other field corn tested, and made 15 tons of ensilage. At Massa¬
chusetts State College it made 61 bushels per acre and 14 tons of

RECOMMENDED FOR EASTERN VIRGINIA, NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA,
GEORGIA, FLORIDA AND ALABAMA
Biggs* Seven Ear
■ — Matures in 120 days. Earliest, most
drought resistant, and best very pro¬
lific corn for medium to poor soil, or
for highlands. Made the highest yield of 93 varieties tested on
our experimental farm during the record drought of 1930. Aver¬
aged 53 bushels per acre, the second highest, in a three-year test
at the North Carolina Coastal Experiment Station, with only 1%
barren stalks, and the most prolific in 1932. It has two to three
medium small sound ears per stalk, hard grain set close on a
small cob, tip well covered, high shelling ijercentage, long tight
shuck, weevil resistant, and a small stocky stalk. Second high¬
est average yield, 1931 and 1932, at North Carolina Mountain Ex¬
periment Station. Yielded 500 bushels on three acres at Scotland
Neck, N. C.
Mosby*s Prolific
—Matures 125 days. Has the largest
grain and ear of any prolific corn,
making one to two large ears on every
stalk. Short, stout stalk; medium small cob; sound grain. Third
highest yielding white corn, Georgia Coastal Experiment Station
in 1930. It led the 1929 Louisiana test. A good early prolific corn
for medium to light soil, highlands, or for late planting.
Wbod’s Dixie
Hastings* Prolific
Wood’s Dixie Com
— Matures 120 days. Highest yielding pro¬
lific corn for average Southern conditions,
consistently yielding at or near the top in
all Southern State Coastal Experiment Stations from Virginia
to Georgia. Makes two solid 10-inch ears on nearly every stalk;
the grain is broad, deep and flinty, cob small, very high shelling
percentage, shuck long and tight; weevil resistant.
— Matures 132 days. A real prolific
corn, making two or more solid ears
on every stalk. No variety will out-
yield it on rich soil with plenty of moisture, but should not be
grown on poor land. Big, tall stalk; long, tight shuck, protecting
the ears from weevil and worms. In 1932 it made the highest
yield at the Holland, Va., State Experiment Station, averaging
83 bushels per acre two years. It made 88 bushels per acre, the
highest of 34 varieties tested at Williamsburg, Va., in 1931. Most
prolific (88% having two or more ears) and second highest white
corn, N. C. Coastal Station, 1931. Second highest, Georgia Coastal
Station thirteen-year test, averaging 45 bushels per acre. High¬
est yield Florida, 1929. Highest shelling per centage (8714%)
two Mississippi Experiment Stations. Highest yield thirteen
Louisiana tests, 1932.
Whatley’s Prolific Red Cob White Dent
— Matures in 132 days. A very prolific and heavy yielding red
cob corn on good soil in the far South. Similar to Hastings,
though not as prolific, but has a slightly larger ear and grain.
Tall, strong stalk, 2 to 4 ears on each; long, tight shuck, weevil
resistant. Made highest yield thirteen-year test Georgia Coastal
Experiment Station, averaging 48 bushels per acre. Highest
yield at Columbia, S. C., Experiment Station, and second highest
South Carolina Coastal Station in 1932.
Douthit’s Prolific Red Cob White Dent
— Matures in 130 days. Similar to Whatley’s Prolific, but several
days earlier, slightly larger ears and not quite as prolific. Makes
2 to 3 medium size ears per stalk. Small cob, high shelling per¬
centage; long, tight shuck protecting the ear well; tall, strong
stalk. Developed in South Carolina and usually makes high yields
in all South Carolina State tests. Made the highest yield in 1932
in an average of the Pee Dee, Sandhill, and Coastal Experiment
Station tests. Made second highest yield of 34 varieties at Wil¬
liamsburg, Va., Experiment Station, yielding 81 bushels per acre.
Second highest yield 1931 and 1932 average 80 bushels per acre
at Holland, Va., Experiment Station.

Wood’s Golden Prolific Com
— Matures in 120 days.
The highest yielding and
most prolific yellow corn
in almost every Southeastern State Experiment Station test. It
makes two large ears on each stalk; the grain is large, flinty,
deep golden color, medium dent, rows very close and tight, tip
and butt well covered with grain, cob small, very high shelling
percentage, large tight shuck to protect the ear, and is weevil
resistant.
• — Matures in 130 days. Our seed was
bred and grown for us by two brothers
who made the first and second highest
yield in the North Carolina 4-H Club for the last two years,
yielding 156 bushels per acre. On good land it makes two large
ears per stalk, none barren. The tall, sturdy stalk has a fine root
system, with no root rot or smut. Its deep grain is closely
placed on a small cob. It averaged 56 bushels per acre, the high¬
est in a three-year test at the North Carolina Coastal Experi¬
ment Station. It averaged over 60 bushels per acre, the highest
in a two-year test, at the South Caro¬
lina Pee Dee Experiment Station. At
Gainesville, Fla., it made the highest
yield in 1930 and the second highest in
1929.

corn like many large-eared varieties; the ears and grains are
large, the stalk heavy, and has a smooth dent. In 1931 it made
the highest yield at both Virginia Mountain Experiment Sta¬
tions, making 89 bushels per acre, the highest of 41 varieties
tested at Blacksburg, and 68 bushels per acre, highest of 21
varieties at Glade Spring, Va. ; and yielded 72 bushels per acre*
the second highest at Staunton, in the Valley of Virginia.
Wood’s Pedigree Boone County Com
Wood’s Pedigree Boone County
- — Matures in 120 days. Grown for us by one of the foremost corn
breeders from a strain that has been winning most of the impor¬
tant prizes for white corn for over thirty years, and has a pedi¬
gree unequalled for performance in Virginia. Its magnificent
ears, 10 to 11 inches long and 8 inches around, have 20 to 22
straight rows of deep grain, closely placed on a medium large
cob, completely covering the tip. Our strain has been a consist¬
ent high yielder at all Virginia State Experiment Stations, taking
first place in an eight-year test at Holland, Va., yielding 87
bushels per acre last year; yielded 79 bushels per acre, the sec¬
ond highest of 24 white varieties, at Blacksburg, and made the
highest average in a two-year test at Glade Spring, Va.
S» ty, —Matures in 115 days. A very early white sorn
I ver K no f°r high altitudes, or for early feed and roast-
,TVI ''"'a ing ears in the South. Makes roasting ears in
80 days. A good poor-land corn, drought-resistant, and will make
a good ear on every stalk under most adverse conditions. Has 12
to 14 rows of large, deep, rough dented grain, closely placed on a
small cob. It makes the soundest ears of any soft corn and is
easily ground. For several years we have intensively bred our
strain for large, deep grain, larger ears, and have increased its
yield considerably. Bast year our strain made the highest yield
of 24 white varieties tested as the Blacksburg, Va., Experiment
Station. It made the second highest average yield for white corn
the last two years at the Glade Spring, Va., State Experiment
Station; altitude, 3,600 feet.
Wood’s Hybrid Early Yellow Dent
— Matures in 105 days. In most of the Northern state experi¬
ment station tests hybrid corn is making new record yields,
often a third more than standard varieties. The West Virginia
University reports: "Made 90.2 bushels per acre; yields highest
in tests throughout the state; most disease free; does not lodge.”
Blacksburg, Va., reports: ‘‘Yielded over 75 bushels per acre, with
96% marketable corn.” See page 3 for a full description.
Clarage Early Yellow Dent.
Garage Early Yellow Dent
— Matures 95 days.
The earliest and
highest yielding ex¬
tra early corn for mountain altitudes of 2,000 to 4,000 feet, or
for early feed or roasting ears for the South.
D. T. Painter, County Agent, Wythe Co., Va., says: "Wood’s
Clarage is certainly well adapted here at 3,000 feet elevation,
maturing well before frost. The stalks are strong, of medium
height and many have two and three ears. It yielded 53 bushels
per acre.”
B. G. Nicholson, Surry Co., N. C. : “We sold roasting ears from
Wood’s Clarage 69 days after planting. It is one of the best early
roasting ear corns on the market and we will increase our plant¬
ing next year.”
— Matures in 110 days. Our new
strain, grown in Northern Virginia
almost on top of the Blue Ridge,
has shown up exceptionally well at State Experiment Stations
throughout the Northeast, from Illinois to Connecticut. Last
year it made the highest yield at the Glade Spring, Va., Station;
elevation, 3,600 feet. It averaged 71% bushels per acre, the high¬
est of 49 corns tested at Blacksburg, Va., in 1932 and 1931; eleva¬
tion, 2,300 feet. The large, sound, 10-inch ears carry 18 to 20
rows of grain closely placed on a medium small, red cob. Short,
stout stalk. An excellent corn for Northern States and high alti¬
tudes, and one of the best early feed
corns for the South, making roasting
ears in ninety days. A good poor land
corn.

Southern Snowflake
— Matures in 120 days. A most
excellent early general purpose
corn. In 95 days it makes large
tender roasting ears of delicate flavor. It was one of the earliest
and heaviest yielding white corns tested at Blacksburg. Va„
State Experiment Station. At Gainesville, Fla., State Experi¬
ment Station, it averaged 2,600 marketable roasting ears for five
years, the highest, and double the average, of 24 varieties tested.
Only one other variety showed fewer unmarketable, worm dam¬
aged or unfilled ears.
■ « > iy, —Matures in 120 days; makes roasting ears
Hirl^orx/ Kina in 95 days. The grain is so wide and deep
■ y i'vimjj and ,-^g cob so srnau that often a single
grain will cover the end of a broken cob. Our Hickory King has
made the highest yield every year in the North Carolina poor
land test; it is a most dependable corn in seasons of drought and
adverse conditions. Our improved stock is the pure eight-rowed
strain, and should not be compared with Hickory King as gener¬
ally sold. It is popular as an early corn in the mountain sections
and for early feed and roasting ears throughout the South.
Wood’s Improved White Dent
iment stations have noted its beautiful large, sound ear, broad,
deep hard grain set close on a medium small cob; freedom from
rot and insect damage, and large, strong, vigorous stalk and
foliage. Ears 11 inches long, medium dent. Highest yielding
white variety in eight-year test Appomattox, Va., averaging 45
bushels per acre. Yielded 55 bushels per acre, the highest white
variety, at Bowling Green, Va., Experiment Station, 1931. It is
adapt id to a very wide variety of soils and climate. Popular for
roasting ears with Southern truckers, making roasting ears in 95
days, and brings the top market price because of its large, beau¬
tiful ear. (Read about our new strain on page 3.)
— Matures in 118 days. One of the oldest
nn» early feed and roasting ear corns for the
uim& far south_ Roasting ears in 95 days. The
grain is broad, deep and flinty when ripe, and the shuck protects
the tip from insects. Has a short stocky stalk with strong root
growth, and was not blown down by the hurricane which flat¬
tened most corn last summer. Made the third highest yield with
the least amount of damaged corn of 24 white varieties tested on
our farm. The ears are large and sound,
nine inches long, slightly tapering, 14
close-fitting rows, grain covers butt

Wood’s Improved Golden Dent
- — Matures in
120 days. Six
years ago we
crossed a very heavy yielding, long-eared strain with medium
small grain on an extra large-grained strain, and each year have
re-selected. Now we offer a better strain with extra large grains
and large, long ears that will outyield our old variety consider¬
ably. Last year it made the second highest yield of 64 leading
white and yellow corns tested on our farm; was the highest
yielding yellow corn, and third highest of 21 white and yellow
varieties tested at the N. C. Coastal Experiment Station, out-
yielding many other leading varieties; and was the highest-
yielding yellow corn in Sanford, Fla., test. It was the highest
yielding yellow corn in a ten-year test at the Georgia Coastal
Experiment Station. Throughout the South it holds a place no
other corn can fill; is early enough to make a crop following early
potatoes; can be hogged down earlier than other Southern varie¬
ties; the grains are extra large, of a deep golden color, and is the
most beautiful of all corns on the ear or shelled.
Wood’s Virginia Yel low Dent
any yellow corn,, 11 inches long, with 18 rows of deep, closely
fitting grain; medium dent; butt and tip well covered; medium
size cob, and medium large stalk. It is one of our oldest yellow
varieties, and although it has not received as much attention
from our corn breeders as some of our other varieties, it can
always be relied on to make a satisfactory yield. It averaged
46 ^ bushels per acre, the highest yellow variety, in an eight-
year test at Appomattox, Va., and yielded 81 bushels per acre,
the highest of all varieties tested at Holland, Va., in 1931.
J. p* Imfm — Matures in 120 days. Our
arvic r TC\\lTlC Strain comes from a breeder
airia I lUIIIIU who has considerably im¬
proved this old variety, and who has won the most prizes for
yellow corn in North Carolina for both uniformly beautiful ears
and high yield. It was recommended to us by the N. C. State
Experiment Station as follows: “An early yellow corn particu¬
larly adapted to Piedmont and mountain sections, and in Eastern
Carolina for early hogging down. One of the highest yielding
yellow corns in all State tests. Ears medium size, 8 inches long,
yellow grain on white cob, grain medium deep, flinty and as
sound as any corn in the State; smooth dent, medium small cob
with 12 rows of grain. Forty per cent of the stalks have two ears.
Medium heavy stalk.” It outyielded all yellow corns tested at
Experiment, Georgia.

WOOD’S PEDIGREE SEED OATS
Sow 2 Bushel*
to the Acre.
Good Quality Seed Oats Are Scarce This Year. Buy Your Seed Requirements Early
Pedigree Fulghum Oats
WHAT OATS TO PLANT
Plant Oats early for larger and better
yields. Seeding up to March 1st, the Pedi¬
gree Virginia Gray Winter is recommended
for both seed and hay. Pater plantings the
earlier maturing varieties, such as Fulghum,
Burt. Swedish Select, etc., are better. For
seed production, Virginia Gray Winter and
Pedigree Fulghum give larger grain yields,
except in mountain districts, where the Pedi¬
gree Swedish Select is better adapted. For
hay and green feed, the Fulghum, Burt and
Red Rust-Proof are generally planted, and
in mountain districts the White Spring.
PRICBS OF SEES OATS INCIiUDH
TREATMENT FOR SMUT
Spring-sown oats, due to climatic condi¬
tions, are more susceptible to smut than
when sown in the fall. Regardless of the
source of seed, treating oats is cheap crop
insurance, and is recommended by all experi¬
mental stations. If conditions are favorable
for smut, losses often run as high as 25 per
cent. Prices quoted on this page include
treatment. If untreated seed desired, reduce
prices quoted i3c per bushel.
Pedigree Gray Winter or Turf Oats
An extra heavy, fine quality turf oat, very winter hardy and
large yielder. Our Pedigree Strain shows test weight per meas¬
ured bushel 45 lbs., which compares with ordinary turf oats only
weighing 36 to 38 lbs. per bushel. Their strong turfing and stool-
ing characteristics gives them advantages over all other oats for
grazing purposes. Be sure and plant enough acreage this spring
for your seed requirements this fall. Winter Turf Oats are always
in demand and bring a good premium over other varieties. A
profitable oat to grow for grain production. Plant early.

Pedigree Swedish Select Oats
An extra heavy plump white oat of heavy yielding qualities,
much preferred by cattlemen and horse breeders. Highly recom¬
mended for the higher altitudes of Virginia and North Carolina
and States north and west of Virginia. Makes especially good
crops on both light and heavy soils in these localities.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower
Barge Seeded Variety
A crop that is becoming very popular along the coastal States as
a cash crop. Yields of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds or more per acre are
common and generally more profitable than other cultivated crops.
Sunflower seeds are rich in oil and protein and fine for poultry;
also the leaves make excellent fodder the whole plant furnishing
fine ensilage and hog feed. Plant and cultivate like corn, in rows
2% to 3 feet apart and a foot apart in the rows. For seed produc¬
tion, plant 8 pounds to the acre, or as a feed or silage crop 15 to
20 pounds per acre in rows and dropping the seed rather thick in
the row. When ripe and hard, cut off the heads and pile loosely
under cover, and when cured will thresh easily. By mail postpaid,

One of the most satisfactory of all oats for spring sowing. A heavy
yielder, rust-proof, has full heads and plump, heavy grain,
and is one of the earliest. Our Seed Stock shows
test weight of 43 pounds to measured bushel.
The Fulghum is probably the most popular of the rust-proof
varieties; they are certainly one of the earliest. Its productive¬
ness, probably more than any of its other good qualities, has con¬
tributed to its wide popularity. They stool out splendidly, have
large, full heads, fine, plump grains and strong straw that stands
about three feet high. For three years a careful check was kept
of the performance of Fulghum oats in comparison with yields
from other varieties. The average yield from Fulghum was 12
bushels to the acre more than all others. It has plump grains and
exceptional heavy weight. By mail postpaid, peck 60c; y2 bushel

Burt or Ninety -Day Oats
If you have not seeded your oats by the first part of March, the
Burt is a safe oat to plant, for in the hands of thousands of suc¬
cessful farmers it has proved its value as a good cropper and can
generally be depended upon to mature in time to escape injury
from heat. It makes a good growth of early feed, is an abundant
yielder of grain, is free from rust, and what is of equal importance
when plantings are late, it is of early maturity. Early plantings
can be cut in time to put the same land in corn, peanuts, cowpeas,
millet or other summer crops. The Burt is a prime favorite for
growing on the light sandy soils of the coast sections of the South
Atlantic States, where the results have been uniformly good.

Bearded Spring Barley
Quickest growing and earliest spring grain.
Where there is a shortage of corn or other feed, spring barley
will give the quickest grazing (a few weeks after planting), and
earliest maturing grain. Can be cut in about two months, making
very nutritious and palatable hay. In feeding value it is equal to
corn. Bearded spring barley heads up in about 65 days and ma¬
tures in about 80 days. Can be grown on a greater variety of soils
and under a wider range of climatic conditions than almost any
other grain crop. Spring seeding of barley does not make as large
yields of grain as when sown in the fall, generally ranging from
25 to 40 bushels per acre. Sow at the rate of 2 bushels per acre.

WOOD'S SPRING PASTURE MIXTURE
For Quick Spring Grazing
Sow 2 bushels per acre during January, February and March
Nothing you can sow in the spring will give grazing, and a lot
of it, as quickly as Wood’s Spring Pasture Mixture. Sow it to
have a pasture for all your stock before the grass pasture is
ready. The Ingredients are properly proportioned and furnish
an abundance of quick, early and nutritious grazing. All kinds
of stock relish it. Also makes a good early hay crop.
A mixture of spring barley, rye, oats, vetch, Austrian winter peas
and rape, combined in proper proportions to make a quick, early and
nutritious spring and early summer pasture that will give an abun¬
dance of grazing before the grass and clover pastures are ready. It
makes a quick growth, is relished by all kinds of stock, and comes in
before the natural pasture grasses have made sufficient growth to
furnish grazing.
Wood’s Spring Pasture Mixture also provides an answer to the ques¬
tion so often asked, “What shall I sow for pasture for poultry?’’ All
poultry raisers appreciate the importance of an early green crop for
laying hens, especially in the early spring, and it will be found a long
step in keeping up egg production and health of the fowls.
The earlier seedings are made the better. By mail postpaid, peck 80c;

ESSEX RAPE
A Quick and Cheaply Grown Pasturage for Sheep,
Hogs, Cattle and Poultry.
Ready in 6 to 8 Weeks from Sowing
Sow it as early as possible — February and March or early April Is
not too late. 3 to 4 lbs. plant an acre in drills; to 8 lbs. broadcast
Formerly rape was grown especially for sheep and lambs, but in
recent years it has been found equally good for providing pasture
for all kinds of stock. It has been estimated to yield more than
10 tons of green forage per acre that, for fattening is claimed to be
worth, pound for pound, double the value of clover. One of the
State experiment stations reports that the lowest average gain on
lambs fed on rape alone was 7 to 8 lbs. per month. Another experi¬
ment station recommends the sowing of 5 to 6 lbs. rape to the acre
in corn at the last working, and stating that this has proved a
particularly profitable practice, as an enormous crop can be grown
at a cost of about 50 to 60 cts. per acre. An acre of rape will easily
pasture twenty hogs for two months.
Do not turn stock into a rape pasture when they are hungry, nor
when the rape is wet, as it may induce bloating; allow them to
remain a short while the first day, and increase the time each suc¬
ceeding day. Give stock access to salt while feeding on rape;
they should also have hay or straw convenient in case of bloat.
CULTURE — Sow either broadcast or in drills 18 inches to 2 feet
apart; when grown in drills and cultivated occasionally, the leaves
will cover the intervening space; this method is a fine weed killer.
Allow 8 to 10 weeks for it to attain its maximum growth.
Sow again next fall for grazing during the fall, winter and spring.

Spray Your Potatoes
Potato planters who grow for mar¬
ket all recognize the value of spray¬
ing; they know from experience the
increased yield and the better quality
of the potatoes. For these same rea¬
sons, those who grow for their own
use should spray. Spraying costs but
little, but pays handsomely.

nized fungicide, preventing disease
and stimulating the plants to yield
better crops.

IRISH COBBLER POTATOES
We believe we are safe in saying that 75 per cent of all the
extra early potatoes planted today are Cobblers. Its popularity
is based principally on its extreme earliness, but also on its repu¬
tation as a reliable and uniform yielder. One of its strong char¬
acteristics is that it makes few if any very small potatoes, prac¬
tically all being medium to large size, and you rarely see a knotty
Cobbler. The tubers are round to oval in shape, slightly flatten¬
ed, have strong, well-developed eyes; the flesh is pure white and
cooks dry and mealy.
Certified Irish Cobblers
WHAT “CERTIFIED” MEANS. It means the same to the plant¬
er that a pure bred pedigree bull or boar means to the stock raiser.
It means the best bred planting stock, freedom from diseases that
will reduce your yield; it means bigger and better crops of smooth
potatoes that will yield you a better profit. Certified seeds cost
so little more than ordinary seeds compared with the value of
the crop that the small difference in the cost is not worth con¬
sidering.

CULTURE OP POTATOES
Potatoes thrive best in a sandy loam that contains plenty of
vegetable matter. Cut the potatoes, leaving two eyes to each piece,
and plant 15 inches apart in three-foot rows, 4 inches deep for
early plantings, 6 inches deep for later plantings; cultivate fre¬
quently to keep down the weeds and conserve moisture. Before
the plants appear above ground, run a light harrow over them to
kill the weeds and break the crust. Apply fertilizer either in the
row or broadcast before planting, and be sure to work it into the
soil so that it will not come in contact with and burn the pota-
t~ nr,T ,.,1TU F.«:v toes. Do not use stable manure,
as it means scabby potatoes. Con-

Wood’s Virginia 2nd Crop Cobblers
PEDIGREE STOCK GROWN FROM CERTIFIED SEED
The experience of practically all large potato growers, an expe¬
rience covering several years, proves conclusively that Virginia
Second Crop potatoes, raised as a second crop from certified
Maine-grown stock, make larger yields and are stronger growers
than Northern grown potatoes. They are smaller than Maine
grown, cut to better advantage, and are more economical to plant.
Our stock was grown in the best potato growing section in Vir¬
ginia. We planted certified potatoes that had been grown under
the rigid rules of the Maine Experiment Station, had been in¬
spected when growing and after being harvested, and certified by
them as true Irish Cobblers and free from disease. They are not
as large as Maine-grown potatoes, but are just the size for cut¬
ting into two pieces, and will go further in planting than larger
potatoes.
We recommend Virginia Second Crop Cobblers in the highest
terms. Reports from practically all the Atlantic Coastal States
indicate larger yields are being made from Virginia Second Crop
Potatoes than from seed produced further north. They are slight¬
ly later in maturity than Maine-grown seed. By mail postpaid,

COW PEAS
1 peck = IS lbs.
y2 bushel = 30 lbs.
1 bushel = 60 lbs.
THE SOUTH’S ECONOMICAL SOIL IMPROVING AND HAY CROP
WHEN TO PLANT. Cow-peas can be planted in May, June or
July, at the rate of from one to one and a half bushels per acre.
Plant with a grain drill or in rows 24 to 36 inches apart, and
cultivate two or three times — bigger crops
are often made when grown in rows. They
may also be put on a grain stubble with a
disc drill without plowing. If cut when
the pods are turning yellow the hay cures
easier and more rapidly than if cut earlier. Leave in the swath
till well wilted on top. An application of 300 lbs. acid phosphate
per (acre will materially increase the yield.
SOWING COW-PEAS WITH SOY-BEANS, KAFFIR COHN,
SORGHUM AND SUDAN GRASS. — Cow-peas may be sown with
these crops to furnish support and make the harvesting easier.
Sow half a bushel soy-beans or one peck kaffir corn or sorghum
or ten pounds Sudan grass with one bushel cow-peas to the acre.
SOWING COW-PEAS WITH MILLET.— New Era and Whip-
oorwill are the best kinds to sow with German millet — -one
ushel of peas to three-fourths of a bushel of millet per acre.
The crop should be cut when the millet is ready. The peas will
have reached the dough state by that time and make an excellent
combination of large-yielding and most nutritious feed.
FACTS ABOUT COW-PEAS
Pound for pound, cow-pea hay is as valuable as clover hay.
It is nearly equal in value to alfalfa and wheat bran.
It contains four times as much digestible protein as tim¬
othy hay. Horses and mules need no grain through the win¬
ter when fed cured cow-pea hay.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture says: “No one thing
can add more to the agricultural wealth of the South than
the growing of cow-peas.”
Makes a fine feed for work and beef stock and dairy cattle.
Cotton can be grown for three successive years after a
cow-pea crop.
Wheat and oat lands put into cow-peas after harvest can
be seeded to grain again in the fall, making two crops a year
on the same land.
Does not require expensive fertilizer, but adds nitrogen to
the soil and improves its mechanical condition.
They can be grown on any soil that is not too wet.
There is no cheaper way to improve poor land than by
growing cow-peas. They add nitrogen and improve the me¬
chanical condition of the soil.

Growing Virginia Black Eye Peas for Seed or Dried Peas
The general practice is to plant as late as possible so as to ma¬
ture dried peas just before frost. It requires about 100 days to
mature Virginia Blackeye Peas on light land, whereas on stiff
land it takes slightly long'er. Some peas, however, Will be ready
for home use in 75 days. Generally speaking, the proper time is
to plant between June 15th and July 10th, although the last week
in June and first week in July is the best time, as planted at this
time they usually miss the bad spell of weather in the late fall.
Plant with a corn planter in three-foot rows, 18 to 24 inches apart,
and cultivate. When the crop is ready for harvest, cut with mower
in the morning and rake up and thresh in the afternoon. This will
prevent the usual shattering which occurs when peas are handled
in the middle of day. Virginia Blackeye Peas generally yield from
12 to 15 bushels per acre, and in good seasons as high as 20 bushels.
Plant at the rate of 12 pounds per acre.
VELVET BEANS
The South’s Wonderful Forage and Soil Improving Crop
1 i 1
A PINE FALL AND WINTER GRAZING CROP
Velvet beans make an enormous growth, larger than any other
known forage plant. As a soil improver they are considered su¬
perior to cowpeas, making much larger growth and foliage.
Makes Nutritious Pall and Winter Grazing. — In the South, velvet
beans are used very largely for winter grazing. They should be
allowed to grow until killed by frost, after which they can be
grazed through the winter, as the vines, leaves and pods decay
very slowly and remain palatable a long time.
Velvet beans are usually grown with corn. The corn is planted
in five-foot rows, three feet apart in the row,
and the beans planted between the corn. At
the last working beans are planted again in
the middles between the rows of corn. When
the corn is dry, it is pulled from the stalk
and cattle turned in to graze. 20 lbs. will
plant an acre in 5-foot rows, 3 feet apart in the row.

SOY OR SOJA BEANS
1 peck = 15 lbs.
y2 bushel = 30 lbs.
1 bushel = 60 lbs.
They make poor land good — They make good land better
FEEDING' VALUE. Soy bean
hay contains a high per cent of
protein, is superior to cowpeas
in feeding value and as a milk
and butter producer is equal to
alfalfa and superior to cotton
seed meal. The beans and bean
meal contain about 35 per cent
of digestible protein and stock
eat them with relish and thrive
on them. Hogs fed on soy beans
in combination with corn fatten
much more economically than on
corn alone — a bus. of soy beans
is worth at least double as much
for feed as a bushel of corn.
They make an excellent winter
feed for young cattle, sheep and
horses when fed with roughage.
CULTURE. — Soy beans may
be planted either broadcast or
in drills. Usually a better crop
is had when planted in drills
and cultivated, and few crops
leave the land cleaner and in
better condition for the follow¬
ing crop. They grow equally
well on light and heavy soils,
but on heavy soils they should
not be planted more than 1 to
1% inches deep except in dry
seasons. On light sandy soils
plant deeper, but not more than
2 to 3 inches deep. When sown
broadcast sow 1 to IV2 bushels
to the acre; in drills about a
peck to the acre. Plant in April,
May or June.
Wilson Early Black
(Maturity 120 days) — A very
prolific variety and one of the
best where a quick, early
variety is desired. Average
height on good land is about
three feet. The Delaware
State Experiment Farm rec¬
ommends the Wilson Black as
ahead of any as a combina¬
tion hay and seed variety. It
stands up well, makes pods a
good distance from the
ground and retains its seed.
Its fine stem enables it to cure
quickly. Its tall growth and
absence of lower branches
makes it one of the easiest to
harvest. By mail postpaid, qt.

Cultivating1 a fine crop of Soy Beans
WORTH KNOWING ABOUT SOY BEANS
They will grow on all kinds of soils.
Soy bean hay is more nutritious than cow-pea hay and stock
like it better.
As a milk and butter producer soy beans are equal to alfalfa
and superior to cotton seed meal.
A bushel of soy beans is worth more for feed than two
bushels of corn.
They can be hogged down without any harvesting expense.
When cut at the proper stage of growth the hay is equal to
alfalfa for dairy cattle.
Soy bean meal or ground soy beans will take the place of meat
scrap in poultry foods.
Drought and excessive rainfall affect them less than cow-
peas.
It is one of the easiest crops to grow and harvest.
They make a fine hog pasture.
They can be grown with cow-peas to hold the pea-vines oil
the ground; will improve the quality of the hay and make
it easier to cure.
They increase the yield of the following crop.
They make a rich and nutritious hay and one of the cheapest.
The beans always find ready sale at the oil mills and for
planting.
It is one of the South’s most economical soil improvers.
They require no fertilizers except acid phosphate.

SOWING- WITH OTHER
CROPS. — Soy beans can be
grown with other crops, yield¬
ing a larger crop and a better
balanced ration. Soy beans and
cowpeas make a good combina¬
tion, and the yield is nearly al¬
ways greater than of either
crop alone. Plant half-bushel
soy beans to one bushel cow¬
peas to the acre. Soy beans and
corn is a well - recommended
combination, the beans being
planted in the hill, or in alter¬
nate hills or alternate rows, de-
pending on the proportions
wanted in the feed.
Sorghum and a late soy bean
make a good combination, pro¬
vided the sorghum is not plant¬
ed too thickly. Sudan grass and
soy beans give a better bal¬
anced feed than Sudan grass
alone, as its protein content is
low, while that of soy beans is
high.
CARE — If a crust forms on
the land before the soy beans
come up, break it up with a
harrow. This will prevent what
is commonly called “breaking
their necks.”
Virginia (Maturity 125 days)
5 - — On account of its
abundant growth and large
yield of beans, the Virginia
makes most excellent hay and
ensilage. As it is about 20
days earlier than Mammoth
Yellow, it can be grown fur¬
ther north and throughout the
corn belt. The vines make a
fine growth, are filled with
pods, stand about three feet
high, are easy to cut and easy
to cure. The stems being fine
and the leafage profuse,
adapts it particularly well for
hay-making. One of the ex¬
periment stations calls Vir¬
ginia the best all-round va¬
riety, and recommends it for
all sections that will mature
Boone County and the large
white cap varieties of corn.

, x right growth, standing 3 feet or more, with
plenty of foliage and an abundance of pods. It is a good hay
bean, is a prolific yielder of beans, robust and is more disease-
resistant than most varieties. Probably no variety is so well
suited for planting with cowpeas, as they mature nearly to¬
gether. It is characteristic of Mammoth Brown, and an advan¬
tage as well, that the beans remain in the pod long after matur¬
ity. They are especially fine for late hog pasture. By mail post¬

Laredo
(Maturity 140 days) — A bean of outstanding worth,
particularly for making hay. It has many slender
branches and the plants are leafy, both of which go to make an
ideal hay. As a fine quality hay-maker it stands second to none.
In a six-year test it averaged 1 y2 tons to the acre. It is medium

r> l (Maturity 135 days) — Makes a quicker
Lariy growth and matures its crop about two
than the Mammoth Yellow and makes a large yield,
both of forage and pods. It is a sure cropper and a vigorous,
quick grower, with an abundance of large leaves. The pods set
thickly on stems and branches. If planted thickly it makes fine
ensilage, although not as heavy a yielder of hay as some of the
later kinds. It has special value where an early crop of hay or
beans is required. By mail postpaid, qt. 30c; y2 peck 65c; peck

Nitrogen is the most expensive

When legume crops are inoculated
with STIMUGERM this nitrogen is
stored in nodules on the roots.
All legumes — clovers, alfalfa, beans,
peas, vetch, soybeans, cowpeas, pea¬

if the seeds are inoculated with Stim-

Any soil that will grow corn or cotton will grow peanuts; on
light sandy or loamy soils there are few crops more profitable.
In addition to the yield of nuts, the hay is superior to alfalfa
in fat and almost equal in protein. Compared with corn, an
acre of peanuts will make nearly three
times as much meat. Peanuts require
lime to fill out the pods; they also need
phosphoric acid and potash to make a
bountiful yield.
CULTURE. — Plant the shelled nut in May or early in June,
dropping the nuts 8 to 10 inches apart in 2*4 to 3-foot rows and
cover one to two inches deep. Cultivate thoroughly until the
nuts begin to form. When harvesting, loosen the roots with
a plow, pull the vines with the nuts attached, allow them to
dry, and stack around a stake, turning the nuts inward. Cross
stakes of brush should be set at the foot of the stake to hold
the vines off the ground. Use 200 to 400 lbs. Acid Phosphate or
Wood’s Standard Corn Fertilizer per acre.

There is also a marked freedom from pops, so frequently found
in the large varieties. They can be grown closer than most varie¬
ties, are more easily cultivated and gathered, as the nuts, which
are clustered around the base of the plant, cling firmly to the
roots, arid no peanut is more readily cured. By mail postpaid,

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES
Every hog raiser should grow artichokes, for they come year
after year; the hogs will harvest them without cost, will fatten
on them, and they will keep the hogs in fine condition — it is
claimed that artichokes prevent hog cholera. They are grown
just like potatoes; cut them two eyes to the piece, and plant 2
Inches deep, 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 to 3% -foot rows. In the fall
when they have matured, turn the hogs among them and they
will feed on them all winter except when the ground is wet
or frozen. They
are more cheap¬
ly grown and
more productive
than potatoes
700 bushels hav¬
ing been grown
on an acre of
good land, but
300 to 400 txushels
is nearer the av¬
erage crop.
Although grown
p r i ncipally for
hogs, they are
fine food for cat¬
tle, sheep and
horses; for dairy
cattle it Is claimed they are nearly equal to bran as milk pro¬
ducers.
Plant during March or April, the earlier the better; they will
stand considerable drought and extreme cold, and can be planted
earlier than potatoes. They grow well on any well-drained soil
without much attention, and one planting does for several years.
6 to 8 bushels plant an acre. By mall postpaid, qt. 30c; y2 peck 55c;

With the increasing interest in hog-raising in the South, there
should be a corresponding increasing interest in hog-feeding
crops that are about equal
to corn in feeding value,
and that can be fed cheap¬
er. Hogs not only fatten
quickly on them, but the
meat is sweeter than when
corn-fed; some claim it is
equal to that cf peanut-
fed hogs.
Any land suitable for
corn, cotton or peanuts
will make a profitable crop
of chufas, but they do best
on light sandy soils. Plant
from April 1st till July 1st
in 2 y2 to 3-foot rows, drop¬
ping three to five chufas
together, 15 te 18 inches
apart in the row, and cover
2 inches deep. In the fall
pull a few plants with the
roots and give your hogs
and poultry a taste, and
they will go over the en¬
tire field and will attend to
the harvesting. 1 to 1%

WOOD'S COTTON SEEDS
Grow Only Long Staple Cotton to Get the Best Price — Grow Only Early Cotton to Beat the Boll Weevil
COTTON MARKET
HIGHER
With cotton prices higher,
it is a good time to get the
very hest variety of cotton
seed to insure a heavy yield
and long staple. Wood’s Cot¬
ton Seeds, grown at the top
of the cotton belt, are two
weeks earlier than others —
getting ahead of the boll
weevil — and making a
crop before late summer
droughts. They have stood
at the top of the State Ex¬
periment Station tests from
Virginia to Georgia in yield,
length of staple, percentage
of lint and size of boll.

COTTON SEEDS
By ordering my cotton
seeds from you, I have the
nicest cotton in my section.
— Mrs. M. A. Phelps, Wash¬

I have bought Wood’s In¬
gold Cotton seeds from you
for two seasons and like it
fine. It is the earliest and
turns out the best of any
cotton I ever planted. You
may print this in your cata¬

TREAT COTTON SEEDS WITH CERESAN
To prevent rotting. To allow earlier planting. To prevent
diseases. Three ounces treat a bushel.
WoocTs Ingold Cotton
1 1/16-INCH STAPLE ; 39% LINT; 1 Yz BALES PER ACRE
Yielded 846 pounds compared to 746 pounds for Coker No. 5,
maturing two weeks before others.
Highest yield of lint cotton per acre for last five years, Virginia
State Test.
Highest per cent lint (39 per oent). This was 2 Yz per cent higher
than any other variety in two North Carolina State Tests.
We believe our new improved strain of Wood’s Ingold Cotton
cannot be equalled for yield, earliness, length and quality of sta¬
ple, and percentage of lint. It has yielded at the top in many state
experiment station tests, making the highest value of lint per
acre in a five-year test in the far South. No test has reported less
than one-inch staple and usually 1 1/16 inches. Even in the terri¬
ble drought it brought a premium of two cents a pound. There
is no earlier cotton, most tests reporting it to mature two weeks
before any other variety. It gets ahead of the boll weevil with
practically no loss.
“One and one-sixteenth inch staple, 65 bolls per pound, third
highest yield and per cent of lint of 44 varieties in a three-year
test.” — Clemson, S. C.
Cleveland Big Boll
Our Cleveland is raised for us under supervision of the North
Carolina Experiment Station, an improved strain recommended by
them. Their tests show 1 to 1 1/16-inch staple, very high yielding
with 36 to 38% lint of strong texture. It is early, has light foliage,
letting in sunlight; the stalk is medium but sturdy with strong
limbs supporting large heavy bolls. Its deep root makes it drought-
resistant.
Wood’s Certified Trice Cotton
COMBINES 1 1/16-INCH STAPLE AND EARLINESS WITH
BIG YIELD
Certified by the Virginia Crop Improvement Association
Highest Lint Value of 10 Varieties at the Louisiana Exp. Station
Years of careful selection at the Virginia ExperimentStation by
the director, in co-operation with the United States Department
of Agriculture, have produced a strain with a 1 to 1 1/16-inch sta¬
ple, bigger yield and higher per cent of lint than ordinary Trice.
It yields consistently 1,800 to 2,000 lbs. of seed cotton per acre, has
gone as high as 2,700 lbs., and is as early as King. Our entire sup¬
ply is grown at the Experiment Station by the original breeder,
and is of an improved strain recently developed, having a smaller
seed and higher per cent lint.
Certified Mexican Big Boll
Strain 128-5
The latest outstanding development of the North Carolina Ex¬
periment Station, which is recommended by them above all other
cottons. Superior in yield,, length of staple, uniformity, per cent of
lint and money value. It makes a uniform 1%-inch staple, turns
out 38% lint, has large bolls (55 to the pound), is medium early,
easy to pick, but storm resistant, is well branched, open type with
medium foliage, and is very resistant to anthracnose and boll rot.

SORGHUM AND SUGAR CANE
CULTURE — Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after corn planting, in rows
3 y2 to 4 feet apart, and cultivate as you would corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any well-drained soil
that will produce a good crop of corn or wheat. May be cut or pastured after the flowering stage is passed, but
not earlier. Sorghum may be grown with cow peas and soja beans, either in rows or broadcast. Plant about
8 to 10 pounds per acre for forage. When growing sorghum for syrup, plant 6 to 8 pounds per acre; thin out to
stand 10 to 12 inches apart, and cut just before the heads ripen. Fertilizer requirements same as corn, 400 to
600 pounds per acre of Woods’ Standard Com Fertilizer (12-2-4). Bushel weighs 50 pounds.
SORGHUMS FOR SYRUP
They Also May Be Used for Forage
Sugar Drip Sorghum
Since we Introduced this variety several years ago
no new sorghum has been brought out that can com¬
pare with it in yield of syrup. It makes a large, juicy
and succulent growth. It will yield about 65 per cent
of the weight of the cane in juice when extracted by
a good farm mill; a stronger mill should extract as
much as 75 to 80 per cent. Well adapted for Virginia,
the Carolinas and States North and West. By mail
postpaid, lb. 22c; 5 lbs. 70c; 10 lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs. $2.40;
50 lbs. $4.65.
Not postpaid, lb. 12c; 5 to 24 lbs. 9c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs.
7c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 6c per lb. No charge for
bags.
Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane
Whether you grow it for syrup, for ensilage or for
feeding, you will like it. It makes syrup of a bright
amber color and fine flavor. The syrup yield is good,
frequently from 175 to 200 gallons to the acre. As it
grows 10 to 12 feet tall, with an abundance of fodder,
it makes a most economical ensilage, filling the silo
at a minimum of cost. A particularly popular syrup
cane and splendidly suited for the Southern States.
By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.35; 25

lbs. 8c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 7c per lb. No charge
for bags.
THIS ABOVE SORGHUMS ARE PROFITABLE CROPS TO GROW FOR SEED PRODUCTION
SORGHUMS FOR FORAGE
Early Amber Cane
One of the earliest sorghums and furnishes a large
yield of most nutritious forage which may be fed
either green or cured. If planted early, it will yield
two cuttings a season, stooling out thicker each time
it is cut. If grown with cowpeas or soy beans, the
quality of the hay is improved and a more nearly bal¬
anced ration may be had. The proportions recom¬
mended are 15 pounds Early Amber Cane, y2 bushel of
soy beans and 1 bushel cowpeas to the acre broadcast.
Grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow broadcast 1 to 1%
bushels to the acre; 5 to 6 pounds plants an acre in
3 V2 to 4-foot rows. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 50c;
10 lbs. 85c; 25 lbs. $1.55; 50 lbs. $2.90.
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 5c per lb.; 25 to 99
lbs. 3^c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 3^o per lb. No
charge for bags.
ugar Drip Sorghum.
Kaffir Corn
Kaffir corn yields heavy crops of the very best forage; it adapts
itself to a wide variety of soils; a long, dry spell may stop its
growth, but it starts again with the first rain; its deep root growth
enables it to stand drought and to withstand windstorms; it can
be grown with cowpeas, holding the pea-vines off the ground and
make a better feed. It may also be grown with soy beans or cow¬
peas, sowing 15 pounds Kaffir corn with a bushel of either soy
beans or cowpeas to the acre broadcast. The grain as well as the
plant makes fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and pigeons. Feed it
either whole or ground, dry or with water or skimmed milk. Sown
alone, three pecks to a bushel broadcasts an acre; in drills, 6 to 8
pounds plants an acre in 3% foot rows. Plant from after the ground
is thoroughly warm till earlv in June. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c;
5 lbs. 50c; 10 lbs. 85c; 25 lbs. $1.55; 50 lbs. $2.90.
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 5c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 3}/2c per
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 3c per lb. No charge for bags.
Shallu or Egyptian Wheat
A non-saccharine sorghum of special value in dry seasons; few
forage plants are more drought-resistant. It grows tall, stools out
— three to six stalks frequently come from a single root. Cut when
at the dough stage, and a second cutting may be had. For cattle,
horses, sheep, hogs and poultry, the grain may be fed either whole
or ground. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.35; 25 lbs.
$2.80; 50 lbs. $5.40.
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 10c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. &V2c per
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 8c per lb. No charge for bags.
Early Orange Cane
About ten days later than Early Amber Cane, but
makes a taller and more leafy growth. It is recom¬
mended for fodder, of which it yields immense crops,
frequently two cuttings a season, and stooling out
thicker after cutting. Orange Cane is particularly
recommended for early planting in Virginia and gen¬
eral planting in the Southern States. Will make a
larger growth and more saccharine content than Am¬
ber Cane. It may be grown with soy beans and cowpeas
as recommended for Early Amber Cane, and the quan¬
tity to plant an acre is the same. By mail postpaid,
lb. 20c ; 5 lbs. 50c; 10 lbs. 85c; 25 lbs. $1.65; 50 lbs. $3.15.
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 5c per lb.; 25 to 99
lbs. 4c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 3Y2c per lb. No charge
for bags.
Milo Maize
A wonderfully drought-resist¬
ant non-saccharine sorghum that
makes a thick succulent growth
of nutritious milk-producing for¬
age. It stools from the ground
and shoots from the joints. The
plant makes fine feed and ensi¬
lage, especially when mixed with
soy beans or cow-peas, and the
grain is fattening for cattle and
poultry. For fodder and ensi¬
lage cut when in the dough
state; at this stage it has a
feeding value practically equal
to corn. Any good corn land
will bring milo maize either for
green feed, dry fodder or for the
grain. It grows on all soils
from sandy to heavy clay loam.
Plant in 3% foot rows after the
ground is thoroughly warm, and
give it the same cultivation you
wouldcorn. 6 to 8 lbs. will plant
an acre. By mail postpaid, lb.
20c; 5 lbs. 50c; 10 lbs. 85c; 25 lbs.

TENNESSEE GERMAN MILLET
Big: Headed, Large Yielding- Type
German Millet makes a. quickly grown, easily cured and large
yielding, nutritious hay crop. It comes so quickly that it can be
sown after wheat is cut, and leaves the land clean and in fine me¬
chanical condition for the following crop. Millet should be cut
when coming into flower, as after that stage the woody fibre forms
in the stem and the hay is hard and unpalatable. Cut at the proper
time, it makes a splendid hay. As a summer catch-crop, it has few
equals, for it makes its crop in about sixty days, discing and har¬
rowing wheat or oat land being the only preparation necessary.
Growing millet with an early variety of cowpeas like Whippoor¬
will or New Fra is quite popular, three pecks of millet being sown
with a bushel of cowpeas. The crop should be cut when the millet
is coming into bloom, regardless of the maturity of the cowpeas,
for at this stage the feeding value of the millet hay is highest.
Grown together, the yield is larger than when either is grown alone.
To have the finest millet hay, sow thickly, not less than a bushel
to the acre, from the middle of May till the end of July. Thin seed¬
ing makes coarse stems and a poorer hay.
Warning. — Do not sow common or Western millet. It is not
adapted, makes a small growth and is generally disappointing.

JAPANESE, or BARNYARD MILLET
Called Billion Dollar Grass
Distinct from other millets; grows 4 to 6 feet high yielding an
enormous crop that in quality is equal to cornfodder and is
relished by stock. Sow in May, June or July 20 lbs. to the acre
broadcast; or plant in 15-inch drills and cultivate until it is 18
inches high. When green, feed a moderate quantity at first,
gradually increasing the quantity
as the animals become accustomed
to it. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs.

PEARL, or
CAT-TAIL MILLET
Also called Fencillaria.
If allowed to attain its full height
Pearl Millet will grow 10 to 12 feet
high, but for the greatest amount
of green feed it should be cut when
3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool
out enormously, and during warm
weather will grow with wonderful
luxuriance, give three or four cut¬
tings a season, and keep on growing
right up to frost. It does well even
on poor land, and surprisingly well
in dry seasons. All kinds of stock
eat it greedily and flourish on it; it
is highly nutritious. It is a warm
weather plant, and should not be
planted till the ground is thorough¬
ly warm otherwise the seeds will
not germinate. Plant 5 lbs. to the
acre in drills 3 feet apart. By mail
postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 85c; 10 lbs.

GAME BIRD SEED
For Hunting Preserves.
Attract game birds to your farm by shel¬
ter feeding them during the winter with
Wood’s Game Bird Scatter Food, and by
growing crops on which they like to feed.
TEOSINTE
A single seed producing from thirty to sixty stalks, each 10 to 12
feet high, gives some idea of what an enormous yield may be had
from Teosinte. If cut when 4 or 5 feet high, it makes an excellent
fodder, starts immediately into growth again, and will give several
more cuttings as large as the first; we have known it to yield five
cuttings a season. If sufficient is planted, a continuous supply of
nutritious green feed can be had daily right up to frost. The leaves
are longer and broader than corn, contain 8 to 10 per cent of sugar,
and are greedily eaten by all kinds of stock. It makes splendid
ensilage. Plant in May or June in drills 3% to 4 feet apart; 2 to 3
pounds plants an acre. By mail postpaid, oz. 10c; lb. 20c; lb. 60c;
5 lbs.. $2.60; 10 lbs. $4.85.
Not postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.35; 10 lbs. $4.50.
BROOM CORN
Any land that will grow corn is adapted to broom corn. When
the ground is thoroughly warm plant in 3% foot rows, thinning
out to 8 to 10 inches in the row, and cultivate like corn. Cut when
the seeds are at the dough stage. Six lbs. plants an acre.
Ct J l r> — 1° to 12 feet tall and yields a brush
otandard Lvergreen With long, straight fiber without heavy
center stems and free from crooked brush. By mail postpaid,

WOOD’S GAME BIRD SCATTER FOOD.— Our formula was pre¬
pared by a high authority on game bird feeding. It is com¬
posed of cracked grains and the seeds on which they love to
feed. Scatter near the edge of woods or brush. This mixture is
held in high favor, especially by game preserve owners who are
using it in increasingly large quantities. $2.75 per 100-lb. bag.
GAME BIRD SEEDS FOR PLANTING. — The Virginia Game and
Inland Fisheries Commission recommend the planting of the
following crops for game bird feeding next winter: korean les-
pedeza, buckwheat, brabham, groit and blackeye peas, shallu
japan clover, hairy vetch, german millet, laredo soy beans, kaffir

selection of layers of known performance and breed characteristics. Their product insures chicks of vigor and egg

early maturity and egg-producing qualities. They are de¬
pendable for a net profit through the sale of eggs and likewise as broilers

cold winter months. They are good layers and the eggs are large and brown.

the table. Very popular with housewives.

Single Comb White Leghorns
TESTIMONIAL
Last spring I ordered 150 Baby Chicks from you.
They arrived in good condition and turned out very
satisfactorily. They are sturdy, healthy fowls now,
and have only lost eight or ten out of the lot. All my
neighbors admire my flock and many have expressed
the desire to secure chicks like them. — W. T. Black,
Chase City, Va. September, 1933.
Brown Leghorns
— One of the leaders in egg production. Our breeders have
have been selected with great care for the egg-laying
qualities of their ancestors and standard qualifications in the breeders them¬
selves. Our Brown Leghorns will fill the egg basket.

Just want to say that in my opinion Wood’s
Baby Chicks are unsurpassed. I have had baby
chicks from several different hatcheries, but none
have been as satisfactory as yours, taking every¬
thing into consideration. They are always strong,
healthy chicks, grow off rapidly and make early
broilers. The pullets are splendid layers. I re¬
ceived a bunch of Barred Rocks on September 13th
and they are nice fryers now. As long as your
chicks are what they have been I expect to raise
Wood’s Baby Chicks. Thanking you for your splen¬
did service and wishing you further success in
your business, I am, Mrs. Robert W. Brown.

THE NEWEST IN FLOWERS
NO. 590 WOOD'S BRILLIANT ANTIRRHINUM
In recent years snapdragons have been very greatly improved in size of flower, length of
stem and beauty of color. Ours is in every way a "brilliant” mixture — in size they
belong to the class called "giant;” in variety of colors and brilliancy they are exquisitely
beautiful. The colors range from delicate pastel shades to rich vivid hues. A wonderfully
beautiful cut flower and when in the garden the plants are a mass of color. Pkt. 15c;
t/4 oz. 50c.
NO. 658 CAMPFIRE OR SENSATION CALENDULA
Without exception the largest flowered of all the calendulas. Its color is a brilliant
orange with a scarlet sheen, has a full yellow center that does not show the dark center
so objectionable in many other varieties. The stems are long and stout. It is, without
doubt, the finest orange calendula. Pkt. 10c; V4 oz. 25c.
GIANT IMPERIAL LARKSPURS
This strain represents the most marked advance in improving larkspurs, both in the
fullness of the flower spikes, the size of the flower and in the shades of color. The branch¬
ing habit has been intensified, giving a greater number of branches to each plant, each
branch producing a solid mass of color. The 3 to 4 foot flower spikes render them ideal
for cut flowers that keep for a long time.
No. 934 Dark Blue Spire
No. 935 Exquisite Rose
No. 940 Peach Blossom
No. 941 Lilac or Lavender Spire
No. 942 Mixed Colors. Pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 25c; */2 oz. 40c; oz. 70c.
Each pkt. 10c; Vi oz. 30c; V2 oz* 50c; oz. $1.00.
NO. 965 GUINEA GOLD MARIGOLD
Distinct from all other marigolds and the loveliest; they are more like carnations with
their long loosely placed waved petals. The plants bear 30 to 40 flowers, 2 to 2^2 inches
across, of a brilliant shade of orange flushed with gold. When in full bloom the plants
appear as if covered with gold. It blooms continuously throughout the summer and
fall. Pkt. 10c; l/g oz. 35c; Vi oz. 40c.
WORTH WHILE NASTURTIUMS
No. 1011 Golden Gleam. The fragrant semi-double long-stemmed golden yellow
flowers are as attractive as cut flowers as when blooming in the garden. The blooms are
2V£ to 3 inches across, are borne in great profusion on stiff erect 6 inch stems. When
in full bloom the plant is a blaze of glory. It makes a vigorous large bush which throws
out short runners averaging 18 inches. The flowers commence to come as the plant nears
full growth, at which time the entire plant, including the short runners, is covered with
blooms. Pkt. 10c; V2 oz* 20c; oz. 30c.
Wood’s Peerless Mixtures. For a colorful display of large, rich and brilliant blooms,
covering a wide range of colors, plant our Peerless Mixtures. They are made up by our
own formula, the colors so balanced as to give a complete and gorgeous effect. Only
the most elegant large flowering varieties are allowed in our Peerless Mixtures. The

TWO SPLENDID ZINNIAS
No. 1303 Scabiosa Flowered so named because the blooms are quite like those of
scabiosa. Entirely distinct from any zinnias you have ever grown. The outer petals are
long and large; the center is a semi-globular crown, producing a distinct and interesting
effect. The plants grow about 2J^ feet high and are crowded with flowers although as
yet it does not reproduce quite true, it is sufficiently outstanding and unique to entitle
it to a place in every garden. Pkt. 20c; Vs oz. 45c; Vi oz. 80c.
No. 1306 Picotee Giant Double, a thoroughly distinct type, for nearly all the blooms
are attractively tipped or edged with a contrasting color at the end of each petal. The
dark shades usually have a light marking, the light shades a dark marking. The flowers
are about 3 inches across and come in a wide variety of colors, particularly pink, yellow,
orange and rose. It is a liberal bloomer and will give a charming effect both in the
border and when used as cut flowers. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 25c; Vi oz. 40c.
