5 tons of hay per acre being harvested from a field sown with Wood’s Grass and Clover Seeds. Many farmers find that one 
acre seeded in them brings more income than two acres of corn. All of our grass and clover seeds are the highest purity and 
germination, heavily recleaned and free of noxious weed seeds and produce vigorous stands and bumper crops. 
Sow Grasses Now 
As grasses grow best in cool weather, 
the best time to sow them is the last of 
August or .September. This allows nine 
months to establish a deep root growth 
before summer heat and drought, ena¬ 
bling them to crowd out weeds and briars 
the following summer. The seed bed 
should be well prepared but shallow and 
firm. Avoid deep plowing. Lime when 
soil is acid. Apply 200 to 300 lbs. per 
acre of Wood’s Super-Standard Fertilizer. 
Grasses do not cause bloating, do 
better on acid soils, are more resistant 
to disease, drought, heat or cold, have a 
wider soil adaptation, and are more de¬ 
pendable than clovers, but do not contain 
as much protein. As the surest and best 
hay or pasture crops are grown from 
mixtures of both grasses and clovers, we 
strongly recommend seeding Wood’s 
Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixtures. 
Virginia Experiment Station: “In a ten 
year test only one stand was poor when 
grasses and clovers were seeded alone in 
late summer, but when seeded on small 
grains there were three complete failures. 
The nurse crop is a robber crop when 
moisture and fertility is insufficient. 
Clovers and grasses seeded alone made a 
higher yield of better quality hay. Sum¬ 
mer seeded grass was free of weeds and 
briars, while spring seeded contained 
both. A mixture of many grasses and 
clovers give larger yields than a single 
grass or clover. In hay mixtures the 
grasses and clovers should mature the 
same time, but in pasture mixtures make 
their maximum growth at different times 
of the year.” 
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. 
TIMOTHY 
The most extensively grown hay grass. 
15 lbs. sow an acre. A stand is easily 
and cheaply established, starts quickly, 
stands up well and is easily cured. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
A hardy, deep rooted, tufted, long-lived 
grass that should be included in every 
hay or pasture mixture. Stands close 
grazing, makes thick foliage, comes on 
early in the spring, growing till late fall. 
Does well on wet soil. Sow on any soil 
except sandy 25 lbs. per acre.

WOOD’S SUPER- GRADE GRASSES 
Are free of wild onions and other noxious 
weeds and contain 10 to 25% more pure 
live seed than the quality usually offered. 
There is more difference in quality of 
grasses than other seeds. Yet farmers 
cannot detect this difference by appear¬ 
ance of the seed and must rely on the 
seedsman to be sure of getting a good 
stand, free of noxious weeds. Our 60 
years’ experience enables us to buy, re¬ 
clean, and offer the finest quality grass 
seeds obtainable. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
The best permanent lawn or pasture 
grass for well drained rich heavy soils 
containing lime and phosphate in the 
Piedmont and mountains. It makes the 
richest, sweetest nurtritious pasture, 
spreading and growing better if closely 
grazed. It grows vigorously in spring 
and fall; less vigorously in summer and 
winter. As it germinates slowly, taking 
several years to form a permanent sod, 
it should be seeded only in mixtures, 15 
lbs. per acre for pasture, or 1 lb. to 200 
square feet of lawn. 
Wood’s Super-Grade Kentucky Blue 
contains nearly a fourth more pure live 
seed than ordinary grades and is free of 
noxious weeds that might ruin a pasture. 
Red Top or Herds Grass should be in¬ 
cluded in every permanent pasture, hay 
or lawn mixture, as it grows well with 
other grasses, thrives on all soils, includ¬ 
ing wet, dry or poor land. It comes early 
and grows vigorously till late fall. It is 
perennial with creeping habit, stools well, 
and stands close grazing or trampling. It 
germinates quickly and is easy to get a 
stand. Sow 5 lbs. per acre in mixtures. 
Wood’s Alfalfa Seed 
Tests from Ohio to Georgia prove Kansas Alfalfa 
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. 
Wood’s Oklahoma Alfalfa is grown in the counties in 
Northern Oklahoma bordering Kansas and is practically 
as good. Wood’s Oklahoma-Kansas Alfalfa is a mix¬ 
ture of these two. Utah Alfalfa is grown at very high 
altitudes, is more winter resistant, later starting in 
the spring and better adapted to Northern States and 
higher altitudes in the South. In mountain sections 
with extremely cold winters, plant GRIMM, the hardi¬ 
est of all alfalfas. All of WOOD’S ALFALFA SEED is 
991 / 2 % pure, over 90% germination, free of noxious 
wei^s and U. S. Verified Origin. As unadapted seed 
frequently costs 8c. per lb. less, buy only U. S. Veri¬ 
fied Origin seed to avoid a crop failure. 
Inoculate Alfalfa with Nitragin and sow 25 lbs. per 
acre on a thoroughly prepared, firm seed bed. It pre¬ 
fers deep, rich, well drained soil containing plenty of 
organic matter and lime. Apply 300 poimds per acre 
of W’ood’s Grain Fertilizer the last of Aug. or Sept. 
WOOD’S KANSAS ALFALFA gives several cuttings each season— 
and lasts many years. In the Virginia Experiment Station test 4 
plantings of KANSAS ALFALFA stood the winters better than 
from any other source and averaged 41/2 tons per acre.
