WOOD'S ADAPTED ALFALFA SEED 
See 


Alfalfa is one of the farms most profitable crops, 
APPROVED OKLAHOMA ALFALFA 
Approved Oklahoma Alfalfa Seed in tests carried on for several 
years in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, has been proved to be no differ- 
ent whatsoever in winter hardiness from that of Kansas grown 
seed. The parent stock of Approved Oklahoma Alfalfa was intro- 
duced from various northern sources by settlers in the early days 
and in many instances has been reproduced over a period of 30 
years and grown continuously in western Oklahoma. We have 
Supplied this same Strain of seed to our customers for a number of 
years and it has given equally as good results as Kansas grown 
seed, as a result of which the government ceiling price on approved 
Oklahoma Alfalfa is the same as that of Kansas grown seed. 
Weather conditions for harvesting Kansas seed were very un- 
favorable the past season and it has caused quite an acute scarcity 
- ef this strain, and would suggest that where our customers are 
ordering Kansas seed that they give us the privilege of substi- 
-tuting the Approved Oklahoma in the event supplies of Kansas 
seed are exhausted. Approved Oklahoma Alfaifa was harvested 
under very favorable conditions and is of exceptionally high qual- 
ity and of brighter color than the Kansas seed this year. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the 
.severest winters of our mountain sections. It has a deep branching 
root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the soil and pre- 
vents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also adapts it to 
shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, or if 
- your farm is in the mountain section, it will pay you to give Grimm 
the preference.

A Great Combination Forage Crop and Soil Builder 
The King of All Hay Crops 
ALFALFA is one of the most valuable hay and pasture crops 
that can be seeded during both the spring and fall months. Stands 
for years, yielding several cuttings per season and most nearly 
approaches perfection in forage crops than any other crop that 
can be produced. Can be grown with success on all fertile well 
drained soils having a fine firm seed bed. Best permanent stands 
of alfalfa are generally obtained on upland or well drained second 
bottom land. Should be fertilized with about 800 pounds of 4-12-12 
to the acre, or if the soil has sufficient nitrogen, use the same 
amount of 2-12-12. Also 20 pounds of borax per acre mixed with 
fertilizer should be applied at seeding time. Alfalfa is a heavy user 
of lime and it is generally advisable to apply 1 to 2 tons of lime- 
stone per acre. 
Adaptable Seed and Inoculation are most important for satis- 
factory stands. Sow at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds per acre during 
March or April, or in the fall during August and September. 
WOOD’S PREMIUM QUALITY ALFALFA 
The alfalfa which we offer is of premium quality, testing 
99.25% to 99.50% purity and over, less than 4 of 1% weeds, 
and 90% or better germination. Seed of this quality, according 
to OPA regulations, commands a premium over standard grade 
seed. Do not confuse our Approved Oklahoma Alfalfa described 
below with that of common Oklahoma Alfalfa which has a ceil- 
ing of $4.00 per 100 pounds lower. Wood’s alfalfa is U. S. 
Verified origin—an assurance of adaptability. 
KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA over years of testing and actual 
field results has proven the best adapted for the middle and south 
Atlantic states. Winter hardy, growing vigorously from early 
spring till fall, starts its growth earlier than alfalfa grown in more 
northern climates. 
WHITE CLOVERS FOR GRAZING 
Wood’s Dixie White Clover 
One of the few plants that furnishes abundant grazing through- 
out the year under severe southern conditions. The hottest dry 
summers do not stop its steady growth. It has no equal for winter 
and early spring grazing by its vigorous growth in the coldest 
weather. It blooms a month earlier than white dutch clover, 
growing several inches taller with leaves and stems larger. Ina 
two-year test (except Ladino) with varieties from all over the 
world, it made by far the best grazing. It was the earliest to 
bloom, made the most luxuriant winter and early spring growth, 
10 inches tall and stood the hot dry summers. 
White Dutch Clover 
Include it in all lawn or pasture mixtures on all types of soil, 
even sandy, acid, or in shade, although it grows most luxuriously 
in limed moist lowland. It furnishes winter and spring pasturage, 
preferred by all livestock, is not easy to tramp out, restricts 
washing, adds fertility, and aids growth of companion grasses. 
Inoculate and sow in spring or late Summer, 5 to 8 Ibs. per acre 
alone, or 2 to 8 lbs. in mixture. 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER 
Sow it for a year ’round pasture. U. S. Department of Agriculture 
says: “Ladino is the largest growing form of white clover. It is 
similar to White Dutch, but grows twice as large.” 
It is a long lived perennial, excellent for grazing, as well as pro- 
ducing a most nutritious and palatable hay crop. Its tap root goes 
down one to three feet. The stems run on the ground, taking root. 
It is not subject to alfalfa diseases and is ideal to plant after al- 
falfa. It does not bloat livestock as much as other clovers, but is 
safer to plant with paspalum, timothy, red top, meadow fescue, 
Kentucky blue, orchard, carpet and rye grass. 
White Sweet Clover 
A wonderful pasture, hay, soil improving and honey plant. Itisa 
good crop to condition land for alfalfa, which it resembles. It is 
biennial, growing from a deep root system the second year, and 
will reseed if allowed to. It makes an enormous vigorous growth, 
allowing several cuttings a year, but should be cut before blooms 
appear. It is a splendid pasture crop, relished by all livestock and 
will not cause bloating; will grow on very poor soil provided it is 
well limed and the seeds inoculated. Sow preferably on small 
grains 15 lbs. per acre from February to April.
