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.

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. 
Another good mixture is had by adding 6 
pounds of herd’s grass or red top to the clover and timothy. By 
mail postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.30; 10 lbs. $2.45; 25 lbs. $5.40; 50
