Northern-Grown 
Alfalfa Seed 
1935 CROP 
A field well set to Alfalfa will last from ten to twenty years. 
We sell Alfalfa subject to your test, the test of your 
State Experiment Station, or that of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. Keep your seed ten days, and 
if you are not convinced that it is as good as we say, return 
it at once; we will refund your money and pay the freight 
both ways. 
We use all reasonable care in packing and sending out 
our Alfalfa Seed, but, as so many circumstances may 
arise after it leaves our possession, over which we have no 
control, we therefore do not guarantee, not will we be 
responsible for the crop. 
BUY ALFALFA SEED from ALFALFA GROWERS 
If you have never grown Alfalfa, or if you have tried it without satisfactory results, 
why not try again, and this time get your seed from growers who have made a success 
with it, and never a failure? 
Our D. B. Brand Alfalfa Seed has been used for years by thousands of progressive 
farmers in the eastern states, by the New York Experiment Station at Geneva, on 
the college farms at Cornell, and, wherever sown, if on suitable soil and our cultural 
directions have been followed, we have yet to learn of a failure.

sold during the last ten years was above 99.70 per cent pure 
and dodder-free. 
Dibble’s Alfalfa Seed, grown in the cold northern states 
adjoining Canada, is absolutely hardy and produces 
perfect and permanent seedings when seed from other 
sources fails. 
Alfalfa is the most wonderful and productive plant of 
the clover family. It will grow on any good corn or wheat 
land, or on any soil that will give a good catch of clover. 
Once established, it is very hardy, sinking its roots deeply 
after moisture and nourishment, and the severest drought 
or coldest weather will not kill it. 
Grows about 3 to 4 feet high, can be cut two or three 
times each season, and produces an average of four to five 
tons of hay to the acre. One ton of well-cured Alfalfa is 
worth practically the same as a ton of wheat-bran. Com¬ 
bined with corn fodder or ensilage, it makes an ideal feed 
for milch cows or steers, and horses thrive on it when fed 
intelligently with a proper grain ration. 
If you are contemplating growing Alfalfa, our Alfalfa 
book tells you just how to grow it, and we can furnish you 
the same varieties we have found successful on our own farms.

Headquarters for Alfalfa Seed 
Every bushel is northern-grown, hardy, acclimated, and 
the only kind to use on northern farms to insure success, the 
kind we used on our own farms to produce what has been 
called by farm experts “the best 100 acres of Alfalfa this side 
of the Rocky Mountains.” 
The supply of Alfalfa seed from the Far North will not be 
a large crop this year. Hardy northern seed always com¬ 
manded a premium and should not be compared to cheaper 
seed of southern origin. Insist on DIBBLE’S D. B. BRAND. 
A good stand of Alfalfa on a field will more than double its value. 
What D. B. Alfalfa Seed has done for others, it will do for you. 
Grimm Alfalfa. This extremely hardy variety is to be recom¬ 
mended for use in the seeding of most alfalfa fields in New 
York and adjoining states. Experimental results generally 
justify its use. 
Common Alfalfa. Our hardy strain of this variety may be 
used on the natural Alfalfa soils of the East where Common 
Alfalfa has previously been grown successfully and where it is 
planned to leave the Alfalfa down only two or three years.
