NORTHERN-GROWN ALFALFA SEED 
Buy Alfalfa Seed from Alfalfa Growers 
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.

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 gener¬ 
ally 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. 
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.
