RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
WOOD'S DEPENDABLE CLOVER SEED 
A combination of Ladino Clover with Orchard Grass, Alta, or Ky. 31 
Fescue will furnish one of our finest pasture crops in Southern and East- 
ern States. 
U. S. RED CLOVER 
Adapted to the Piedmont and mountain sections 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 pas- 
ture 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 nu- 
trients. 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 Ibs. 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.

LADINO CLOVER—Certified 
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 their is a fairly constant, but not excessive moisture supply in the 
surface and subsurface soil. As with all clovers, largest growth is ob- 
tained on fertile and deep soils well supplied with lime, phosphate, hu- 
mus and moisture. 
When seeded for pasture, Ladino White Clover fits in well with other 
grasses as companion plants. The most commonly used mixtures is to 2 
Ibs. Ladino Clover with 12 lbs. of orchard grass or Alta Fescue per acre. 
This mixture is highly recommended by leading dairymen and experi- 
mental 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. peren- 
nial 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. 
We recommend the sowing of only Certified Seed that costs only a 
fraction more than ordinary Ladino this season. 
CERTIFIED LADINO CLOVER 
Ladino clover originated in Italy and the production of seed in this 
country is from seed produced in Italy. Tests of Ladino and other strains 
of white clover from all parts of the world have been made in this coun- 
try and it has been found that Italian Ladino is equal or better than 
domestic seed for grazing or hay. 
One of the largest growers of Ladino Clover in California writes: 
"There is a fairly large field here locally which has been in four or five 
years, and which is certainly an excellent testimonial for Italian seed. 
It has a much more luxuriant growth than either California or Oregon 
seed, but it does not produce much as a seed crop. We expect to have 
this lot of seed ourselves and expect to have local demand to take care 
of this particular lot." 
We are fortunate in securing a car of very high quality Certified 
Italian Ladino seed, which we have recleaned, over 99% pure and 90% 
germination, including hard seeds. It meets all P.M.A. requirements in 
the South. It has been passed by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture and met 
all requirements of the Federal Seed Importation Act. We recommend 
it highly to our most discriminate buyers. 
We are also offering Certified Blue Tag Ladino, grown in Oregon or 
California, and produced on virgin land where ordinarily white Dutch 
Clover does not grow naturally, but owing to government support price 
is bringing quite a premium over Italian Certified seed. 
Warning—Do not buy Ladino grown in states east of the Mississippi 
River where white Dutch grows naturally. The chances are that this seed 
will contain a mixture. Seed from these localities are lower in price. 
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. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
A perennial legume attaining a height of 12 to 30 inches; stems com- 
paratively slender, branched and moderately leafy, palatable and nu- 
tritious. Succeeds under a variety of soil conditions, but best adapted to 
a, temperate climate. Grows on soils too low in fertility for alfalfa or 
red clover, but responds well to fertilizer high in phosphate. Its prin- 
cipal use is in pasture mixtures with grasses, using | to 3 lbs. of BIRDS- 
FOOT TREFOIL to the acre; or it can be sown alone 4 to Ibs. to the 
acre. Birdsfoot Trefoil is used to a large extent in the Western States and 
some claim it will become as popular as Ladino Clover.
