Wood’s Crimson Clover 
It is more winter hardy, disease resistant, a 
surer crop and does not require as much lime as 
Alfalfa, Red and Alsike Clover. It gives a larger 
cutting of hay earlier in the spring. It prevents 
loss of the soil fertility made available by freez¬ 
ing and thawing in winter. Its root nodules add 
large quantity of nitrogen to the soil. Summer 
crops are doubled when Crimson is turned under. 
Bs sure to INOCULATE and sow 20 lbs. per 
acre on a firm seed bed in August or September. 
Makes a luxurious winter and spring growth, 
furnishing abundant grazing from December to 
May, when green feed is so essential. No crop 
is more highly relished by all livestock. 
WOOD’S DOMESTIC CRIMSON CLOVER 
We have carefully selected our seed 
from crops that were not rain damaged, 
that show a bright, healthy color, and 
were grown in fields that were free of 
noxious weeds. Heavy rains this spring 
encouraged weed growth and severely 
damaged the quality of much of the 
domestic Crimson Clover seed, and this 
shrivelled damaged seed will only pro¬ 
duce a weak, spotty stand, resulting in 
many crop failures Most of the local 
seed offered us is so full of wild onions, 
cheat and other weed seeds we have re¬ 
fused to handle it. Farmers should care¬ 
fully avoid buying this low grade seed. 
To be sure of a good stand free of nox- 
ioux weeds, plant Wood’s double re¬ 
cleaned, bright, high germination Domes¬ 
tic Crimson Clover seed. 
WOOD’S IMPORTED CRIMSON 
For generations the South has de¬ 
pended on Europe for the bulk of our 
Crimson Clover seed, as it is of such 
high quality. Repeated tests prove it 
unsurpassed in growth, adaptation and 
winter hardiness. The war has largely 
cut off this supply. We have been able 
to import a limited quantity of large, 
plump, bright seed, of extremely high 
purity and strong germination. We 
offer it at a very low price. 
DIXIE WHITE CLOVER 
One of the few plants that furnishes 
abundant grazing throughout the year 
imder severe southern conditions. The 
hottest dry summers do not stop its 
steady growth. It has no equal for win¬ 
ter and early spring grazing by its vig¬ 
orous growth in the coldest weather. It 
blooms a month earlier than common 
white clover, growing several inches tall¬ 
er with leaves and stems larger. 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 lux¬ 
uriant winter and early spring growth, 
10 inches tall and stood the hot dry sum¬ 
mers best. It is a wonderful soil im¬ 
prover. Sow in early fall 5 to 8 lbs. per 
yre alone or 2 to 3 lbs. in grass mixtures. 
Rye Grass for Winter Pasture 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture says: “Do¬ 
mestic Rye Grass makes a very desir¬ 
able winter pasture on soils of medium 
to high fertility. Oats, barley, rye and 
wheat do better on poor soils. A com¬ 
bination of one of these with rye grass 
is best, as the rye grass gives a vigorous 
bottom growth and extends the grazing 
later in the spring.” 
Georgia Experiment Station says: “Rye 
grass seeded in Oct. and grazed till May 
produced 105 lbs. beef per acre.” 
V. P. I. says: “For abundant grazing 
all winter, sow Rye Grass on Lespedeza 
and other pastures.” It grows vigorously 
during very cold weather. When grazed 
to the ground makes a quick recovery. 
It is relished by all livestock and poultry. 
Sow Rye Grass 50 lbs. per acre from 
late August to November. 
Wood’s Crimson Clover 
is the best winter legume for hay pasture 
and soil improvement. Our seed is large 
and plump, bright color, of high germi¬ 
nation. 99% pure and free of noxious 
weeds. It makes a dependable stand, 
strong, vigorous growth and bumper crop. 
LADING WHITE CLOVER 
A mammoth strain of White Dutch 
Clover. The best year round pasture 
crop where moisture is plentiful. Sup¬ 
ports 4 head of cattle per acre. Grows 
luxuriantly, 12 inches tall. Runs on the 
ground, one plant covering two feet. Can 
be pastured in spring and hay cut three 
times in summer. Produces a heavy 
tonnage of rich succulent feed relished 
by all livestock. 12 to 24% protein. 
Lasts 4 to 8 years. Lime, phosphate and 
manure help it. Seed in early fall 5 lbs. 
per acre, followed by light harrowing, 
3 lbs. with red top, meadow fescue, Ken¬ 
tucky blue, orchard grass, timothy and 
paspalum. Our seed is scarified. 
WOOD’S BUR CLOVER 
Hulled California seed, which is eaten 
with more relish by cows than other 
strains, prolongs the grazing season, 
costs less per acre to sow, is easier to 
get a stand, grows off faster and earlier, 
and withstands dry weather better. In 
the winter of 1936 five acres gave 2,000 
cow-grazing days, and improved the soil 
by adding nitrogen and humus, causing 
the following summer crops to grow 
more luxuriantly. With mixtures of other 
crops it is a splendid foundation for 
profitable animal husbandry. 
It is adapted to nearly all soils in the 
South—clays and loams in particular It 
does not smother out other grasses or 
smother out itself. It is included in all 
Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixtures. 
It reseeds abundantly in May, even 
with close grazing. One seed crop will 
furnish seed for 3 to 5 years with the 
land continuing in cultivation of summer 
crops. It is extremely winter hardy. 
Inoculate with NITRAGIN and sow 12 
to 15 lbs. per acre from Sept, to March 
Wood’s Hairy Vetch and 
Austrian Winter Peas 
Ideal Winter Soil Improving, Pasture and 
Hay Crops. In a 13-year Southern Experi¬ 
ment Station test they averaged 8 tons of 
green manure per acre, furnished all of the 
nitrogen needed, and increased the yield of 
corn 18 bus. and seed cotton 590 lbs. per acre. 
Farmers throughout the south are fast awak¬ 
ening to their great value as winter cover 
crops, as they prevent soil erosion and double 
the yield of succeeding crops. The U. S. Gov-, 
ernment Soil Conservation program recognizes 
their absolute necessity to Southern Agricul¬ 
ture. Farmers who depend entirely on com¬ 
mercial fertilizers can not possibly compete 
with those who cut down their fertilizer 
bills by planting Hairy Vetch and Aus¬ 
trian Winter Peas each fall. 
When inoculated with NITRAGIN they 
add the equivalent of about 700 pounds 
of Nitrate of Soda per acre—and the 
humus makes soils easier to plow, helps 
following crops withstand droughts or 
wet spells, and grows off faster, saving 
cultivation expenses. They can be 
disked or drilled on top of Lespedeza 
without destroying its growth next sum¬ 
mer. They thrive on nearly all soils in¬ 
cluding acid types. Uncultivated land 
needs preparation but cultivated land 
does not. Sow from September to No¬ 
vember, Hairy Vetch 25 lbs. per acre, 
Austrian Peas 40 lbs. Cover 1 to 3 inches. 
Apply 300 lbs. per acre of fertilizer high 
in Phosphorus and Potash, such as 
Wood’s Standard Grain Fertilizer Turn 
under 2 to 3 weeks before planting the 
following crop. 
Hugh MacRae says: “Vetch mixed 
with Austrian Peas is ideal for winter 
and spring pasture, extending the graz¬ 
ing period to June when summer pas¬ 
ture crops are ready.” 
Bur Oover is one of the most valuable 
and economical crops in the South. It 
gives everything and asks nothing.

EFFECT OF WINTER COVER CROP ON CORN 
The corn on the riaiht was grown without a cover crop, 
that on the left followed a winter cover crop inoculated 
with NITRAGIN. 
BLACK MEDIC CLOVER 
Has few equals for late winter or spring 
grazing and makes an excellent hay. Rel¬ 
ished by all livestock. Sow on every Les¬ 
pedeza field and permanent pasture to 
furnish grazing during the winter and 
early spring. It reseeds itself in spite of 
close grazing, and comes up again the 
next winter. It grows vigorously on all 
soils, except Icose sand or water-soaked 
land. A small amount is included in all 
of Wood’s Special Grass and Clover Mix¬ 
tures. It is an excellent cover and soil 
improving legume. Makes a beautiful, 
deep green colored lawn that grows vig¬ 
orously during cold weather. Sp reading 
habit. Sow from September through 
March, 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. Liming 
and applying 200 to 300 lbs. per acre of 
Wood’s Super Standard Fertilizer will 
improve its growth. Manure aids get¬ 
ting a stand. It spreads rapidly and 
matures later than Crimson or Bur Clov¬ 
ers, prolonging the grazing. It reseeds 
abundantly in late spring, leaving the 
fields open for summer crops.”
