WOOD'S DEPENDABLE CLOVER SEED 
Reports Indicate Red Clover Crop Smallest in Years 

Wood’s Northern Neck Strain Red Clover 
WOOD’S NORTHERN NECK STRAIN RED CLOVER 
For several centuries farmers on the very fertile isolated penin- 
Sula of Virginia, called Northern Neck, were forced to save their 
own Red Clover seed year after year. This strain of seed has be- 
come highly resistant to anthracnose or wilt, and throughout the 
East has given decidedly larger growth and has been more de- 
pendable than any other strain of clover available. Repeated tests 
by the Federal and State Departments of Agriculture, and in- 
numerable farmers throughout the eastern States, in actual field 
results, have proven that Wood’s Northern Neck strain of Red 
Clover will consistently give longer lasting and larger hay crops 
than seed of other strains. 
Many farmers who have planted this strain say it is worth twice 
the price of other Red Clover Seed. The supply of Northern Neck 
Strain of clover available now is exceedingly short owing to the 
Severe drought experienced last fall. We have only limit- 
ed quantities available which we will supply in quantities 
not over 50 pounds. We would suggest when ordering that 
you give us the privilege of substituting regular U. S., 
Red Clover in the event supplies are exhausted, 
ALYCE CLOVER 
A Fine Hay Producer 
ADAPTABILITY—Alyce Clover is particularly well 
Suited to the Gulf states, thriving unusually well on sandy 
loam soil. Satisfactory stands have also been obtained 
in the eastern Carolinas and occasionally eastern Vir- 
ginia. It is not recommended for other localities. 
SEEDING TIME—Alyce Clover is strictly a warm 
weather plant and rather slow in germinating, and in the 
far southern Gulf states can be planted during April 
and farther north during May and June. A good seed bed 
is important, discing and harrowing to eliminate as many 
weeds as possible before planting. The crop requires 
ample moisture for reasonably quick germination, and 
where weeds get ahead of the erop they should be ecut 
off with a mower blade just above the clover. Sow 15 to 
20 pounds per acre, broadcast, and give the seed a light 
covering. 
FERTILIZATION—We recommend for large growth 
an application of 200 to 300 pounds of Superphosphate 
and 50 to 100 pounds Muriate of Potash per acre.” “\*

Red Clover is the ideal biennial legume for crop rotations, furnishes 
an abundance of highly nutritious hay or pasture and adds nitro- 
gen and humus to the soil. Cut it just before full bloom for best 
quality hay and the largest amount of leaves and nutrients. This 
lets the second crop get an earlier start and larger yield. Does 
well on any well drained, limed and fertilized soil.

ALSIKE CLOVER Sow 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. Culture Ea 
as Red Clover; but has more leaves, grows 
thicker, has finer stems, makes better quality hay and more and 
better grazing. Grows on soils too acid, poor or wet for other 
clover, is hardier, hay contains a higher per cent of digestible pro- | 
tein, stands longer uncut without deterioration, and is adapted to a 
wider variety of soils. Succeeds on light uplands, loam, clay or wet 
bottoms. Sow it where other clovers fail. An ideal substitute for 
white clover in pasture mixtures, makes a thick undergrowth, 
greatly increasing the yield, is highly nutritious and paltable. Use 
it in every permanent pasture or hay mixture.
