Buy Alfalfa Seed from Alfalfa Growers 
1948 CROP 
IBBLE’S Alfalfa Seed, grown in the cold states ad- 
joining Canada, is absolutely hardy, producing per- 
fect, 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 
Jand, 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. 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 Depart- 
ment 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. 
Dibble’s Seed Farms 
Headquarters for Alfalfa Seed 
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 
Extremely hardy. Recommended for use in the seeding 
of most Alfalfa fields in New York and adjoining states. 
Experimental results generally justify its use. 
Common Alfalfa 
May be used on natural Alfalfa soils of the East where 
Common Alfalfa has grown successfully and where it is to be 
left down only two or three years. 
D. B. Alfalfa, 99.50 per cent pure or better; the best 
obtainable. Average analysis of all our D. B. Brand 
Alfalfa Seed sold during the last ten years was above 
99.60 per cent pure and dodder-free.
