HARDY (NORTHERN) CALIFORNIA GROWN 
ALFALFA 
Grown in Altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 Feet 
The U. S. Verification officials designate northern California al¬ 
falfa seed, which is raised in the extreme northern part of the state 
at a high elevation in Modoc or Lassen counties, as equal to and 
as hardy as Utah or Southern Idaho seed. The quality is equal to 
alfalfa produced in other high altitude sections, free from weather 
damage, bright seed, dodder free and testing over 99.50% pure. 
We were fortunate in securing this fine hardy alfalfa, and are 
offering same at a price well under that of Kansas or Utah grown 
seed, which is in short supply and selling at very high prices. 
We unhesitatingly recommend this hardy alfalfa for sowing 
throughout the East. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 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.; 10O lbs. and over 32c per lb. 
No charge for bags. 
PROVENCE ALFALFA 
This fine strain of alfalfa was raised in the richest agricultural 
section of France. Similar in general appearance to the common 
alfalfa but it has many advantages. It commences its growth 
earlier in the spring and continues to grow later in the fall than 
does Kansas and other alfalfas, also makes a quicker growth after 
cutting. Our tests on our Williamson Farm show Provence Alfalfa 
equal to any strain of alfalfa for that section. We recommend 
Provence Alfalfa for the Piedmont and Coastal sections of Vir¬ 
ginia and the Carolinas. Stained 1% green by the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, showing its adaptability as imported seet. By mail 
postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 lbs. $1.80; 10 lbs. $3.45; 25 lbs. $7.90; 50 lbs. 
$15.65. Not postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 to 24 lbs. 31c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 
29c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 28c per lb. No charge for hags. 
GENUINE KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
It stands the severe winters of Kansas, and will come through 
our winters splendidly, rarely ever winter-killing. In a test of al¬ 
falfas from many sources made by the Virginia Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station, four plantings of Kansas alfalfa stood the winter 
better than any, and yielded more than 4% tons per acre. It makes 
a quick spring growth and gives several cuttings each season. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.20; 10 lbs. $4.25; 25 lbs. $10.15; 
50 lbs. $20.15. Not postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 to 24 lbs. 40c per lb.; 25 to 99 
lbs. 38 c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 37c per lb. No charg-e for bags. 
OKLAHOMA-KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
Grown in Northern Oklahoma on the border line of Kansas. A 
very hardy strain and very well adapted to Virginia and the Caro¬ 
linas. By mail postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.10; 10 lbs. $4.05; 25 lbs. 
$9.40; 50 lbs. $18.65. Not postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 to 24 lbs. 37c per lb.; 
25 to 99 lbs. 35c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 34c per lb. No charge for 
bags. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the 
severest winters of our mountain sections. It has a deep brancn- 
ing root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the soil and. 
prevents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also aaapts 
it to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surrace, 
or if your farm is in the mountain section, it will pay you togive 
Grimm the preference. By mail postpaid, lb. 55c; 5 lbs. $2.40; 10 lbs. 
$4.65; 25 lbs. $10.90; 50 lbs. $21.65. Not postpaid, lb. 45c; 5 to 24 lbs. 
43c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 4lc per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 40c per lb. 
No charge for bags. 
WOOD’S DIXIE WHITE CLOVER 
“The Best Grazing Crop for the South” 
Wood’s Dixie White Clover is the only plant that furnishes abun¬ 
dant grazing throughout the year under severe Southern conditions. 
The hottest dry summers do not stop its steady growth. It has no 
equal for winter and early spring grazing by its vigorous growth 
in the coldest weather. 
It blooms a month earlier than common white clover, growing 
several inches taller with leaves and stems twice as large. In a 
two-year test at our experiment station with varieties from all 
over the world it made by far the best grazing. It was the earliest 
to bloom, made the most luxuriant winter and early spring growth, 
10 inches tall and stood the hot dry summers best. 
It is relished by all livestock. It is adapted in the South to prac¬ 
tically every region and type of soil, although it does best in sand 
clay. It is a perennial, but spreads rapidly by reseeding. 
A Louisiana customer writes: “Wood’s Dixie White Clover grows 
tall enough for hay in this section, and with Bermuda makes our 
best pasture mixture. It requires no inoculation, only a firm seed 
bed. It needs surface drainage, but grows well on our worst land, 
and thrives where most crops fail.” 
Sow in the early spring alone or in grain crops. & lbs. to the acre 
in mixtures, 10 to 12 lbs. if sown alone. . 
A leading experimental station writes: “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 Dixie White Clover with ordinary or 
white Dutch clover. The seeds are very similar in appearance, but 
there is a decided difference in growth, and Wood’s Dixie blooms 
three to four weeks earlier. Use ordinary white Dutch clover tor 
lawn making only. _ , „_ 
Another Southern merchant writes: We are having calls for 
Wood’s Dixie White Clover, and we are in a position to recommend 
it, for our experience for this last year has convinced us that you 
have an outstanding white clover. By mail postpaid, lb. Sf 0 ', 5 lbs. 
$2.40; 10 lbs. $4.65; 25 lbs. $10.90; 50 lbs. $21.65. Not postpaid, lb. 
45c; 5 to 24 lbs. 43c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 41c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 
40c per lb. No charge for bags.
