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 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 grain 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 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 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 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 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 adjoming states. Experi-

soils of the East where Common Alfalfa has grown success- 
fully and where it is to be Ieft down only two or three years.

tainable. Average analysis of all our D. B. Brand Alfalfa
