Every bushel is northern-grown, hardy, acclimated, and the only kind to insure 
success on northern farms, the kind we used to produce what has been called by farm 
experts “the best 100 acres of Alfalfa this side of the Rocky Mountains.” 
Alfalfa seed from the Far North will be scarce this year. Hardy northern seed is 
always in demand and should not be compared to cheaper southern seed. Insist on 
DIBBLE’S D. B. BRAND. A good stand of Alfalfa on a field doubles its value. 
Grimm and Canadian Variegated Alfalfa. Extremely hardy. Recommended for use in 
the seeding of most Alfalfa fields in New York and adjoining states. Experimental 
results generally justify its use. 
Common Alfalfa. May be used on natural Alfalfa soils of the East where Common 
Alfalfa has grown successfully and where it is to 
be left down only two or three years.

CROP 
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. 
Dibble’s Alfalfa Seed, grown in the cold states adjoining Canada, is absolutely 
hardy, producing perfect, permanent seedings when other seed 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 3 to 4 feet high, can be cut two or three times each season, and produces 
four to five tons of hay to the acre. A ton of well-cured Alfalfa equals a ton of 
wheat-bran. 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. 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, nor will we be responsible for the crop.
