Ladino Clover furnishes better and more grazing than almost any 
other single plant. Lasts from 4 to 8 years. 
LADINO CLOVER 
The Wonder Pasture Clover 
It is known as the giant white clover—a perennial lasting from 
four to eight years. It is not a particularly deep rooted plant, 
3 making its best growth where there is a fairly constant, but not 
excessive moisture supply in the surface and subsurface soil. As 
is the case with all clovers, largest growth is obtained on fertile 
and deep soils that are well supplied with lime, phosphate, humus 
and moisture. . : a 
It is primarily a pasture plant, and as such produces a heavy 
tonnage of rich succulent feed relished by all kinds of livestock. 
Ladino clover also furnishes hay of excellent quality, being very 
rich in protein, and is consumed readily by all kinds of livestock. 
When used for both pasture and hay, the spring growth is used for 
pasture, early Summer growth for hay, and later growth for either 
hay, pasture or seed. When seeded for pasture Ladino fits in well 
with other grasses as companion plants. Commonly used mixtures 
are 3 lbs. Ladino, 4 lbs. red top, 8 lbs. perennial rye grass, and 
3 lbs. domestic rye grass per acre. Another fine pasture mixture, 
but slightly more expensive is 3 lbs. Ladino, 3 lbs. perennial rye 
- grass, 2 lbs. Kentucky blue grass, 4 lbs. orchard grass and 8 lbs. 
meadow fescue. When seeded alone 5 to 6 lbs. per acre is recom- 
- mended. Ladino Clover is rapidly increasing in popularity and is 
being used quite extensively throughout the Southern states, in- 
cluding Florida. 
Re ALYCE CLOVER 
gee A Fine Hay Producer ‘ 
ADAPTABILITY—Alyce Clover is particularly well suited to 
he Gulf states, thriving unusually well on sandy loam soil. Satis- 
actory stands have also been obtained in the eastern Carolinas 
nd occasionally eastern Virginia. It is not recommended for other 
- localities. 
SEEDING TIME—Alyce Clover is strictly a warm weather plant 
nd rather slow in germinating, and in the far southern Gulf 
tates can be planted during April and farther north during May 
nd 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 crop they should be cut off with a 
wer blade just above the clover. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre, 
oadeast, and give the seed a light covering. ) 
AS PERTILIZATION—We recommend for large growth an appli- 
cation of 200 to 300 pounds of superphosphate and 50 to 100 pounds

WOOD'S DEPENDABLE CLOVER SEED 
Reports Indicate Red Clover Seed Crop Smallest in Years 
Adapted to the Piedmont and moun- 
U. S. RED CLOVER ecu ous of Virginia, North Caro- 
lina and northern states, Red Clover is the ideal biennial legume 
for crop rotations, furnishes an abundance of highly nutritious 
hay or pasture and adds nitrogen 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. Inoculate and broadcast on small grain from Feb- 
ruary to April or in August; 12 Ibs. per acre alone, or 8 lbs. in grass 
mixtures. 
WOOD’S NORTHERN NECK STRAIN RED CLOVER 
We have been very fortunate in having a limited quantity of this 
very fine disease-resistant strain grown for us the past season. 
Prices are the same as the regular U. S. Red Clover, but the supply 
is limited, and we advise early orders. Owing to small supply, if 
sold out we will supply U. S. Red Clover. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER ‘Seed is identical to red clov- 
i er, growth is similar, but 
larger, is longer lived, and matures hay two weeks later, at the 
Same time as timothy. Makes one cutting a year. Cut in early 
bloom state. Superior for pasture or soil improvement. Seeding 
rate and culture same as red clover. For hay on strong loam or 
clay soils use 8 lbs. sapling, 10 lbs. timothy, and 5 lbs. red top. 
Sow 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. Culture same 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
{ 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. } 
Timely Advice on When to Cut for Hay 
1. Red clover, when in about one-half bloom. 
2. Timothy, when the top quarter of the heads are in flower. 
3. Alfalfa (first crop), when in one-fourth bloom or when 
the plants first show a change in color as evidenced by 
a slight yellowish cast. 
4, Alfalfa (Second crop), when in full bloom. ~ 
5. Alfalfa (third crop), about 30 to 40 days before the usual 
date for the first killing frost in the fall. 
Ladino clover, when in full bloom. 
Soybeans, when seeds start forming in the lower pods. 
Sudan grass, before full bloom. N 
Annual lespedeza, when the first blooms appear or slight- 
ly earlier. 
10. Lespedeza Sericea, when the plants reach 12 inches in 
height. 
11. Sweet clover, when the first blooms appear. 
12. Small grains, when seeds are in the milk stage.

PRICES QUOTED ON CLOVER SEED 
4 Owing to the short crop, alfalfa, red and alsike clovers are sell- 
ing at the OPA ceiling prices. As near as we can judge at the time 
our catalog went to press prices quoted in this catalog are the 
approximate ceiling prices on these items. Where there is a slight 
variation we will make a refund or send bill for balance. Stocks 
are very limited on all clover seed this season.
