D IBBLE’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 pro¬ 
duces 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 fyook 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. 
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 alter it leaves our possession, over which 
we have no control, we therefore do not guarantee, nor will we be responsible 
for the crop.

Every bushel is northern-grown, hardy, acclimated, and the only kind to insure 
success on northern farms, the kind we use 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 is never too plentiful. 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. Experi¬ 
mental results generally 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 have a fine stand of 13 acres of Canadian Variegated Alfalfa which we secured 
from you last year. I was afraid with the terrible drought we had after the oats were 
cut that we would lose the seeding but it looks fine.— Natick Farm, Natick, R. I. 
The Alfalfa seed I had front you last year is fine. In spite of the dry weather it 
came up in great shape.— Benjamin Marsus, Wind Gap, Pa.
