WOOD'S SPECIAL GRASS and CLOVER MIXTURES 
WOOD'S PERMANENT PASTURE AND HAY MIXTURES 
Contain a combination of 14 to 16 different grasses and clovers. These 
mixtures have been used for numbers of years with outstanding results 
throughout the South, Piedmont, Mountain, and Northern States. These 
mixtures, containing such a variety of grasses and clovers, will not cause 
bloating near as much as a combination of Ladino with Orchard and 
Fescues, particularly after the second and third year. These mixtures 
have been known to stand over a period of 10 years or longer with 
exceptionally fine grazing and hay crops produced. Having such a 
combination of grasses and clovers you are assured of a longer pasture 
throughout the year, as they make their maximum growth at different 
times. The following mixtures are recommended for different type soils. 
Specify mixtures desired when ordering. 
They can be satisfactorily sown on all small seeded grain crops during 
February, or alone during late February, March, and early April, at the 
rate of 35 lbs. per acre.

WOOD'S SOUTHERN PERMANENT PASTURE 
AND HAY MIXTURE No. 12 
This mixture is particularly recommended for the coastal sections of 
Virginia and the Carolinas, as well as all the southeastern and gul 
states. In these localities you can have just as good grazing as in the 
blue grass section with the use of proper-grasses and clovers. This 
mixture contains carpet grass, red top, paspalum, lespedeza, ladino 
clover and alta fescue, combined in proper proportions that will give 
abundant grazing during the hot southern summers and cold winters. 
WOOD'S GRAIN HAY MIXTURE 
Makes a much heavier yield that is far more palatable and nutritious 
than oats or any other crop sown alone. It is a fine spring hay crop, 
easy to cure and relished by all livestock. It contains oats properly 
balanced with Canada field peas, hairy vetch, Austrian peas and les- 
pedeza. Sow 100 lbs. per acre of both Grain Mixtures—January, 
February, March. 
FOR PERMANENT PASTURES, NOS. 1 TO 3; FOR PERMANENT HAY 
FIELD, NOS. 6 TO 8—SOW 30 TO 35 LBS. PER ACRE. 
WOOD'S GRAIN PASTURE MIXTURE 
Furnishes more grazing in less time and at less cost than any other 
spring crop. The grains are balanced with legumes to provide pro- 
teins for growth and warmth during cold weather. Sow it for grazing 
before grass and clover pastures are ready, or as a nurse crop when 
seeding permanent grass and clover pasture mixtures. Although rel- 
ished by all livestock, it is particularly popular for poultry and hogs, as 
it contains rape properly balanced with spring barley, oats, and rye 
grass and Dwarf Essex Rape, so that it cannot cause bloating. Protein 
is furnished by Canada field peas, hairy vetch and lespedeza, which. 
also improve the soil.

CROTALARIA 
THE KING OF SOIL BUILDING CROPS 
One of the best summer soil-building crops, 
makes much more leafy growth and root no- 
dules than cow peas or velvet beans, often 20 
tons per acre. When turned under the cashi 
value of nitrogen is estimated at $40.00 per 
acre, besides the untold value of humus which 
prevents erosion, holds water in sandy soil and 
opens up heavy soil. Yields of following crops 
are frequently doubled. Completely smothers 
out summer weeds; grows well on any soil, 
good or waste land; requires no lime, ferti- 
lizer or cultivation, although early cultivation 
pays as it grows slowly at first. From corn 
planting time through June, sow 20 Ibs. scari- 
tied seed per acre broadcast, or 8 lbs. in 3- 
foot cultivated rows. Cover 1!/> inches. 
Late Spectabilis makes a tremendous growth, 
[42 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
Grows 7 feet tall. Yields 15 tons or more of 
green manure, equal to 700 to 1,000 Ibs. of 
nitrate of soda per acre. Stalks are pithy, 
easily plowed under, and decay readily. Not 
eaten by livestock or insect pests. Will starve 
nematodes out of the soil. Thrives on all soils. 
CROTALARIA INTERMEDIA 
2 weeks earlier. The only palatable crotalaria 
relished by animals. Furnishes two cuttings of 
hay. Long, thin leaves of fine quality. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA 
Outstanding for mammoth growth and seed 
production. Grows rapidly, resisting weeds 
and grass. Frequently yields 15 to 20 tons of 
green manure per acre. When this is turned 
back into the soil with the nitrogen gathered 
by its roots, yields of corn or other crops are 
increased enormously.
