WOOD'S DEPENDABLE CLOVER SEED 
REPORTS INDICATE RED CLOVER SEED CROP AGAIN IN SHORT SUPPLY THIS YEAR 

A combination of Ladino Clover, with Orchard Grass or Alta Fescue will furnish one of 
our finest pasture crops in Southern and Eastern States. 
U. S. RED CLOVER 
Adapted to the Piedmont and mountain sections of Virginia, North Carolina 
and northern states. Red Clover is the ideal biennial legume for crop rota- 
tions, 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 February to 
April or in August; 12 Ibs. per acre alone, or 8 lbs. in grass mixtures. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Seed is identical to red clover, growth is similar, but larger, is long 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. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Sow 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. Culture same 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 protein, 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 palatable. Use it in every 
permanent pasture or hay mixture.

CYCLONE SEED SOWER 
The Cyclone is a splendid seed sower that will 
pay for itself in a few days in the time it will 
save, besides sowing grass and clover seeds 
and grain of all kinds faster and more evenly 
and uniformly than is possible by hand. It will 
sow as fast as you can walk, and the quantity 
can be regulated to any amount to the acre.

LADINO CLOVER 
The Wonder Pasture Clover 
It is known as the giant white clover—a perennial lasting from four 
to eight years. Not a particularly deep rooted plant, making its 
best growth where there is a fairly constant, but not excessive mois- 
ture supply in the surface and subsurface soil. As with all clovers, 
largest growth is obtained on fertile and deep soils well supplied 
with lime, phosphate, humus and moisture. 
It is primarily a pasture plant, and as such produces a heavy 
tonnage of rich succulent feed. Ladino clover also furnishes hay of 
excellent quality, very rich in protein, and relished 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 White Clover fits in well with 
other grasses as companion plants. The most commonly used mix- 
ture is 2 lbs. Ladino Clover with 12 lbs. of orchard grass or Alta 
Fescue per acre. This mixture is highly recommended by leading 
dairymen and experimental stations. Heavy acreages were planted 
late last summer and early fall with the finest reports being received 
of the remarkable results obtained. Other commonly used mixtures’ 
are 2 lbs. Ladino, 3 lbs. perennial rye grass, 4 lbs. red top, and 
3 lbs. orchard grass per acre. When seeded alone use 2 to 4 
lbs. per acre. Adaptable to all Southern and Eastern states. 
ALYCE CLOVER 
ADAPTABILITY—Alyce Clover is particularly well suited to the 
Gulf states, thriving unusually well on sandy loam soil. Satis- 
factory stands have also been obtained in the eastern Carolinas. 
SEEDING TIME—A good seed bed is important, discing and har- 
rowing to eliminate as many weeds as possible before planting. 
The crop requires ample moisture for reasonably quick germina- 
tion, and where weeds get ahead of the crop they should be cut 
off with a mower blade just above the clover. Sow 15 to 20 Ibs. 
per acre, broadcast, and give the seed a light covering. 
FERTILIZATION—We recommend 200 to 300 pounds of superphos- 
phate and 50 to 100 pounds muriate of potash per acre. 
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. 
6. Ladino clover, when in full bloom. 
7. Soybeans, when seeds start forming in the lower pods. 
8. Sudan grass, before full bloom. 
7) 
. Annual lespedeza, when the first blooms appear or slightly 
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.
