WOOD’S VERIFIED ORIGIN CLOVER SEEDS 
The U. S. Government established the Verification Service 
as a gruarantee to farmers the use of adapted known origin 
clover seed. This service does not add to the cost, but is a 
protection to buyers in securing seed from sources that have 
proven to be hardy, adaptalile and giving high yielding crops. 
Demand U. S. Verified Origin clover seeds for your own 
protection.

Red Clover 
: to 15 lbs. 
to the acre 
Red clover not only furnishes excellent pasturage and fine hay 
crops, but improves the land and adds humus to the soil. On good 
land is will yield two cuttings a year. It is particularly well 
adapted for sowing with orchard grass and tall meadow oat grass, 
as it ripens at the same time, and sowing the three together will 
give larger yields of better quality hay than sowing either alone. 
A Good Mixture —^15 pounds of orchard grass, 12 pounds of tall 
meadow oat grass and 8 pounds of clover will give excellent results, 
and if the land is to be pastured, the addition of 6 pounds of herds 
grass or red top will increase the pasturage and the second cutting 
of hay. 
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 herds 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 
iself; or with timothy sow 6 pounds of clover and 8 pounds of 
timothy. Another good mixture is had by adding 6 pounds of herds 
grass or red top to the clover and timothy. By mail postpaid, lb. 40c; 
5 lbs. $1.50; 10 lbs. $2.85; 25 lbs. $6.40; 50 lbs. $12.65.

winter till summer. Adapted only for sum¬ 
mer and fall sowing. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.05;

American Grown Red Clover 
Grown in the best clover producing sections of 
Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. Very winter hardy 
and highly recommended for use in the piedmont 
and mountain sections of Virginia, North Carolina 
and states west and north. In field tests made by 
the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station at 
Blacksburg, Va., seed from the above localities 
made the largest yields of hay than that from any 
of the other northern and western states. Also 
found to be less resistant to anthracnose. 
By mall postpaid, lb. 40o; 5 lbs. $1.45; 10 lbs. $2.75; 25 lbs. 
$6.15; 50 lbs. $12.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 to 24 lbs. 24c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 
22c per lb.; lOO lbs. and over 21 o per lb. No charge for bags. 
Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover 
Supplies limited owing to short crop last season 
The Northern Neck of Virginia is the only section that grows in 
commercial quantities disease-resistant red clover adapted to the 
South. This is an isolated peninsula, has no railroads, and for 
more than 300 years has been forced to save its own clover seeds. 
By natural selection, this strain has become highly resistant to 
anthracnose or mildew. It makes a large, vigorous growth and 
stands cold winters. 
This strain is recommended for the eastern and piedmont sections 
of Virginia and North Carolina, owing to its highly disease resist¬ 
ant qualities. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 45o; 5 lbs. $1.70; 10 lbs. $3.25; 25 lbs. $7.40; 
50 lbs. $14.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 35c; 5 to 24 lbs. 29o per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 27c per 
lb.; 100 lbs. and over 26o per lb. No charge for bags. 
Alsike Clover 
Include it in every pasture mixture 
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. Particularly 
valuable for grazing, for it makes a thick undergrowth, greatly 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. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 3Sc; 5 lbs. $1.30; 10 lbs. $2.45; 25 lbs. $5.40; 
50 lbs. $10.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 to 24 lbs. 21c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 19c per
