IBBLE’S Alfalfa Seed, grown in the cold states 
ID adjoming 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 produces 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 gram ration. 
If you are contemplating growing Alfalfa, our Alfalfa 
book 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 Iast 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 after 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 msure 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 with 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. Ex- 
tremely 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 success- 
fully and where it is to be left down only two or three years.

r ‘HE hay crop is the most important one on 
the livestock farm and, next to silage corn, 
hay produces the greatest quantity of total 
digestible nutrients to the acre. Every farmer should 
be sure of a good supply of high-quality hay because 
it will reduce the grain bill and increase the check for 
Itvestock products. 
We feel that the first essential in getting a good 
yield of high-quality hay is to seed a mixture of 
grasses and Jegumes that are adapted to the soil. 
There is no magic in mixture making but there is a 
vast difference in the quality of the seeds used. The 
safest thing to do is to use our D. B. Brand and be 
sure of the highest quality that money can buy. 
Compare quality and prices and we will have your 
order; in fact, we have scores of letters from farmers 
who testify to the superior quality of D. B. Clover 
and Timothy and who also saved from fifty cents to 
several dollars per bushel by buying from us. 
Notwithstanding the fact that our seeds are 
tested in our own laboratory, we sell our D. B. Brand 
Seeds 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 after arrival, test it as you wish, 
and if you are not convinced that it is as good as we Say it is, 
return it at once; we will refund your money and pay the freight 
both ways. Samples free. 
We use reasonable care in packing and sending out our 
Clover and Timothy Seed, but as so many circumstances may 
arise after they leave our possession, over which we have no 
control, we therefore do not guarantee nor will we be responsible 
for the crop. 
We have purchased seed from you for over thirty years and never had 
a failure. Keep the good work up.—RuicHarp D, Quinn, Supt., Orange 
City Home, Orange, N 
I want to tell you that we are very pleased with all of the seed we 
have purchased from you. About 5 years ago we had to purchase as much 
as $800 worth of hay in one year; for the past two years we have been 
seeding Dibble’s Alfalfa and Timothy and this year our problem is where 
to store our hay. e haye had very fine results.—Mertvin E. KrREYMER, 
F. D. 1, Warwick, N. Y.
