LADING WHITE CLOVER 
A mammoth strain of White Dutch Clover. The 
best year round pasture crop where moisture is 
plentiful. Supports 4 head of cattle per acre. 
Grows luxuriantly, 12 inches tall. Runs on the 
ground, one plant covering two feet. Can be pas¬ 
tured in spring and hay cut three times in sum¬ 
mer. 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 spring, 5 lbs. per acre, followed 
by light harrowing. It is better seeded 3 lbs. 
per acre with dallas grass, carpet grass, red top, 
meadow fescue, Kentucky blue, orchard grass and 
timothy. By mail postpaid, lb. $1.15. 
Virginia Northern Neck Red Clover 
For several centuries farmers on a very fertile 
isolated peninsula in Virginia called the “North¬ 
ern Neck” were forced to save their own Red 
Clover seed year after year. This seed has be¬ 
come resistant to anthracnose or wilt, which de¬ 
stroys clover brought into the southeast from 
other sections. Repeated tests by the Federal and 
State Departments of Agriculture and innumer¬ 
able farmers have proved that Virginia Northern 
Neck Red Clover will consistently give bumper 
hay crops where seed from other sources have 
failed. Every farmer who plants it says it is 
worth twice the price of other red clover seed. We have 
never had enough of this strain to supply the demand. Inocu¬ 
late and sow 12 lbs. per acre in March or April. 
WOOD’S KANSAS ALFALFA 
The most popular strain in the East. 
Tests from Ohio to Georgia prove Kansas Al¬ 
falfa yields more hay than from any other source. 
It stands the severe winters of Kansas and will 
come through ours without winterkilling. It 
grows vigorously from early spring till fall, gives 
several cuttings a season, and lasts many years. 
In the Virginia Experiment Station tests 4 plant¬ 
ings of Kansas Alfalfa stood the winters better 
than from any other source and averaged 4l^ 
tons per acre. 
Wood’s Oklahoma Alfalfa is grown in the coun¬ 
ties in Northern Oklahoma bordering Kansas and 
is practically as good . Wood’s Oklahoma-Kansas 
Alfailfa is a mixture of these two. Utah Alfalfa is 
grown at very high altitudes, is more winter re¬ 
sistant, later starting in the spring and better 
adapted to Northern States and higher altitudes 
in the South. In mountain sections with extreme¬ 
ly cold winters, plant GRIMM, the hardiest of 
all alfalfas. 
AU of WOOD’S ALFALFA SEED is 901/2% 
pare, over 90% germination, free of noxious weeds 
and U. S. Verified Origin. As unadapted seed fre¬ 
quently costs 8c. per lb. less, buy only U. S. 
Verified Origin seed to avoid a crop failure. 
Inoculate Alfalfa with Nitragin and sow 25 lbs. 
per acre in March or April on a thoroughly pre¬ 
pared, firm seed bed. It prefers deep, rich, well drained 
soil containing plenty of organic matter and lime. Apply 
300 pounds per acre of Wood’s Grain 
Fertiiizer.

KOBE LESPEDEZA 
LESPEDEZA 
wood’s Virginia Northern Neck Bed Clover makes bumper hay crops because ^ prodm 
perfect stands, free of disease, and a tall vigorous growth that crowds out weeds. 
DODDER FREE KOREAN 
Field Bogned. 99% Pure. Heavily Be- 
cleaned. Bus. 45 lbs. Most popular and 
widely adapted of all lespedezas, as it is a 
very heavy seeder, matures early and per¬ 
sists even in mountain sections and north¬ 
ern states. Its large vigorous growth and 
deep penetrating roots, ,covered with nodules 
makes it an outstanding pasture, hay and 
soil building legume. It furnishes grazing 
nearly a month before common lespedeza, 
has larger leaves and taller growth, 15 to 
24 inches on light soil, taller on fertile 
loams. Its deep roots make it highly re¬ 
sistant to drought; thrives on poor, worn- 
out soils where alfalfas and clovers fail. It 
makes the finest quality hay, about equal 
to alfalfa, no woody stems, holds its leaves 
well, and produces a full crop the first sea¬ 
son. It is usually sown in March or April 
on small grains with a light harrowing. It 
can be sown equally well after grain is har¬ 
vested, planting i bu. per acre of Laredo soy¬ 
beans as a nurse crop. 
N. C. State College says; “Seed Les¬ 
pedeza on every acre of small grain this 
spring. In 8 field demonstrations turning 
under lespedeza increased the next year’s 
corn crop 22.8 bu. per acre, average.” It 
does all the work of other clovers at less 
cost—hay, pasture and soil improvement. It 
encourages plowing under a field each year 
for soil improvement. Economical to plant. 
Easy to get a stand, thrives on all soils, in¬ 
cluding poor acid land. Drought and heat 
resistant. Broadcast 25 lbs. per acre from 
March till June. If land is hard, harrow 
before seeding. Inoculate with Nitragen B. 
WABNING-—Most lespedeza seeds com¬ 
monly offered at low prices are unfit to 
plant as they contain so much DODDER 
and JOHNSON GRASS, the most noxious 
of all weed pests. Such seed is a scourge 
to Southern farmers and we will not handle 
it. Our seed is carefully selected or field, 
rogued and heavily recleaned, testing 98 to 
99% pure. 
Bus. 25 lbs. Makes a large growth, 
producing more hay and pasture than 
es other annual lespedezas throughout 
the entire South. It matures almost a 
month later than Korean and should 
be seeded with it to lengthen the grazing 
period. Early falls prevent it from re¬ 
seeding in mountain sections . Makes a 
spreading growth, but stands up well in 
thick stands. 
RHODES GRASS 
One of the best perennial hay and pas¬ 
ture grasses for the Southern Coastal Plains. 
Vigorous, quick growth. Has creeping 
stems that root at the joints. Dense leaf 
growth, 4 feet high, vivid green color. Very 
palatable to all stock. Furnishes several 
cuttings per season. 2 to 3 tons per cutting. 
Hay is highly nutritious, containing twice 
as much protein as other grasses. Animals 
thrive better on it. Stables pay a big pre¬ 
mium for it. Extremely drought and heat 
resistant. Grows well on any soil but pre¬ 
fers loams. Broadcast 8 lbs. per acre after 
danger of frost, on a well prepared seed 
bed. Apply 100 lbs. superphosphate per 
acre. Do not graze or cut until runners 
take root. 
LESPEDEZA SERICEA—Perennial 
Adapted to any type of soil, wonderfully resistant to drought, 
large yielding hay crops, good pasture, and a fine soil improver. 
Like alfalfa, it requires one year to get set, but after the first year 
it will produce two to four tons of field-cured hay per acre annu¬ 
ally. Actual feeding trials have proved sericea hay is equal to 
alfalfa. Sericea enjoys many advantages over the annual lespedezas; 
it will thrive on poorer land, comes back year after year from the 
roots, furnishes two to three cuttings per season and yields more 
abundantly. During the most severe drought year sericea, due to its 
deep vigorous root system, maintained a beautiful rich green color, 
when other forage crops were burned up. Sericea is at its best in 
mid-summer when other forage crops are off. A wonderful hay crop 
if properly harvested. When 12 to 14 inches cut when the dew is 
off. Stands have lasted over ten years without deteriorating. It is 
immediately destroyed by plowing. Scarified seed (60 lbs. per bu.), 
produces much better stands than unhulled sericea. Korean thrives on run down acid, soils where other legumes fail
