Department of Agriculture 
A fine crop of Kansas Alfalfa grown in North Carolina. 
FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA 
Once established, it lasts for years. 
Yields three to five cuttings of nutritious hay each season. 
Feeding value high—contains as much protein as wheat bran. 
Does not exhaust the soil; it enriches it. 
Requires but little care and attention. 
It supplies its own nitrogen and stores it in the land to make 
bigger the crops that follow it. 
GENUINE KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
Origin Verified by the U. 5. Dept, of Agriculture 
We believe it is a safe estimate that fully 90 per cent of the 
alfalfa seed used in the Eastern and Southern States is of Kansas 
origin. It stands the severe winters of Kansas, and will come 
through our winters splendidly, rarely ever winter-killing. In a 
test of alfalfas from many sources made by the Virginia Agricul¬ 
tural Experiment Station, four plantings of Kansas alfalfa stood 
the winter better than any in these tests, and yielded more than 
4% tons per acre. It makes a quick spring growth and gives sev¬ 
eral cuttings each season. Our Trade-Mark Brand Kansas Alfalfa 
is the highest quality obtainable, testing 99% per cent purity 
and 90 per cent germination. By mail postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.40) 
10 lbs. $2.65; 25 lbs. $5.90; 50 lbs. $11.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 to 24 lbs. 23c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 21c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 20c per lb. No charge fox' bags. 
WHEN TO SOW—March or April, one inch deep on sandy soils; shal¬ 
lower on heavy soils. 
HOW TO SOW—Use a broadcast seeder (see page 89), with drill or 
by hand. Roll the land after sowing; have a firm seed bed. 
CUTTING-—Cut when suckers are one to two inches high; do not cut 
late in the fall. 
SOIIi A thoroughly prepared, deep, rich, well-drained soil contain¬ 
ing plenty of organic matter. 
DIME Heavy user; apply two tons or more limestone to the acre. 
FERTILIZER—Heavy user of phosphoric acid; apply also after cut¬ 
ting. 
INOCULATION—Important. Inoculate with Stimugerm. See below.

UTAH GROWN ALFALFA 
U. S. Verified Origin 
Utah has a cold climate and harsh winters that severely test the 
hardiness of the alfalfa grown there. Highly recommended for the 
mountain sections of the East. By mail postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 lbs.

Not postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 to 24 lbs. 25c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 23c 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 22c per lb. No charge for bags. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
U. S. Verified Origin 
Our seeds are grown on non-irrigated land, in the extreme North, 
and is 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 branch¬ 
ing 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. By mail postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $1.65; 
10 lbs. $3.15; 25 lbs. $7.15; 50 lbs. $14.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 to 24 lbs. 28c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 260 
per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 25c per lb. No charge for bags. 
WOOD’S DIXIE WHITE CLOVER 
The Best of All Clovers for Pasture 
Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
One of the outstanding pasture clovers, adaptable to all types of 
soils. Makes a very thick matted growth, completely crowding out 
Bermuda, crab brass, weeds and even Korean lespedeza. The leaves 
are twice as large as common white clover—will furnish 50 per cent 
more grazing and greatly relished by all livestock. A perennial, but 
spreads rapidly by reseeding. The hot, dry and severe southern con¬ 
ditions do not stop its steady growth, and it has no equal for winter 
and early spring grazing. A high authority says: “Its hay contains 
22% per cent protein, almost twice as much as alfalfa, red clover or 
lespedeza, and dairymen can feed it instead of concentrates.” 
The superintendent of a leading southern experimental station says: 
“"Wood’s Dixie White Clover was unusually vigorous, healthy, and 
grew very rank. It is decidedly the most promising white clover that 
we have tried here. I am glad that at least one Southern seedsman is 
handling and pushing the sale of this superior white clover.” 
Do not confuse Wood’s White Clover with ordinary or common 
white clover. The seeds are very similar in appearance to common 
white clover, but there is a decided difference in growth, and blooms 
three to four weeks earlier. Use ordinary white clover for lawn mak¬ 
ing purposes only. By mail postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $1.95; 10 lbs. $3.75; 
25 lbs. $8.40; 50 lbs. $16.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 40; 5 to 24 lbs. 34c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 31o per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 30c per lb. No charge for bags.
