SEED WITH 
STIMUGERM 
The Most Disease Resistant, and Best Adapted for the Eastern and Southern States. 
Far Superior to Western Grown Seed. 
The Northern Neck of Virginia was favored with exceptionally fine 
growing season this year and produced a bumper crop of red clover 
seed. Prior to this year the production of this highly disease resistant 
red clover has been limited. The Northern Neck of Virginia is an 
isolated peninsula, having no railroads, and for more than three hun¬ 
dred years lias been forced to save its own clover seeds, and by natural 
selection this strain has become highly resistant to anthracnose or 
mildew, making a large, vigorous growth and withstanding the sever¬ 
est winters. Many of our customers have advised that they would 
pay double the price to secure Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover in 
preference to middle western seed, and we would strongly urge that 
our customers use this Northern Neck seed in preference to any other 
seed available. Red clover grown in the middle western states is 
greatly affected by anthracnose, which makes the crop of very little 
value the second year. 
REPORT OF RED CLOVER TEST IN VIRGINIA 
1. VA. NORTHERN NECK RED CLOVER. 100% stand. 
Tall, vigorous, healthy growth. Free of disease. Completely 
crowded out all crab grass and other weeds. By far the best red 
clover for this section. 
2- TENNESSEE DISEASE RESISTANT. 80% stand. 
Vigorous growth. 20% taken over bv crab grass. 
3. OHIO GROWN RED CLOVER. 35% stand. 
65% taken over by weeds. Not adapted to the South. 
4. OREGON GROWN RED CLOVER. 5% stand. 
Completely crowded out by crab grass. Entirely worthless. 
It is useless to plant red clover in the South, except Northern Neck, 
Va. or Tennessee Disease Resistant, as other red clovers are so weak¬ 
ened by anthracnose or wilt that weeds, Bermuda and crab grass 
crowds them out. 
The U. S. Dept, of Agriculture says: “Va. Northern Neck Red 
Clover is one ipf the best clovers for the Southern States, where it has 
given good yields when clovers from other states have been com- 
pletley killed by anthracnose or wilt.” 
Mr. Frank Michaux, County Agent of Powhatan County, Virginia 
writes: ‘‘Wood’s Virginia Northern Neck Disease Resistant Red 
Clover is absolutely wilt-proof, while other red clovers looks like 
some one had sown lime on it, and makes a poor stand. The heads 
are large and it makes a tremendous growth, 2% feet tall, and 
yielded 13% tons on 4 acres. It is the finest red clover we have 
seen and advise every one planting nothing else.” 
On our own farm in Amelia County we have had exceptionally 
fine results from sowing Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover oh 
fall or spring sown grain during March. This furnishes an excel¬ 
lent seed bed and a good stand is always assured by this method. 
Red clover furnishes one of the very finest pasturage and hay 
'crops, as well as improving the land and adding humus to the soil. 
On good land it will yield two cuttings per year. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. 
per acre. For a fine hay mixture we suggest 8 lbs. Virginia North¬ 
ern Neck Red Clover, 15 lbs. orchard grass, and 12 lbs. meadow 
fescue or English blue grass per acre. If the land is to be pastured 
an addition of 6 lbs. red top or herd’s grass will materially increase 
the pasturage and the second cutting of hay. 
In conclusion, we strongly recommend using Virginia Northern 
Neck Red Clover in preference to seed from any other source The 
origin of our seed is guaranteed by the United States Department 
of Agriculture and has been heavily recleaned, testing 99% to 
99 % % pure and germination 90%,. By mail postpaid, lb. 40c: 5 lbs.

ALSIKE CLOVER SriS 8 ”-’ 
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. Particularlv 
valuable for grazing, for it makes a thick undergrowth, greatlv in¬ 
creasing the yield. If you have not succeeded in getting a stand of 
other clovers because your land is acid or moist, sow alsike.

A Flourishing Crop of Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover 
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. 40c; 
5 lbs. $1.55; 10 lbs. $2.95; 25 lbs. $6.65; 50 lbs. $13.15.

WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
A Real 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 Fuighum 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. 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. 814c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 8c per lb. No charge for bags. 
BEGGAR WEED or Florida Clover—A nitrogen-gatherer, 
makes a hay rich in protein and relished 
by stock, and is of real value on thin sandy land and pine barrens 
for pasture or hay; it is even more fattening than alfalfa and 
cowpeas; makes a fine cover crop, especially for orchards. Sow 
when frost is over 3 to 4 lbs. to the acre, in 3-foot drills or 10 to 
12 lbs. broadcast. By mail postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.00; 10 lbs. 
$3.85; 25 lbs. $8.90; 50 lbs. $17.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 to 24 lbs. 35c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 33c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 32c per lb. No charge for bags.
