IBBLE’S Alfalfa Seed, grown 
in the cold states adjoining 
Canada, is absolutely hardy, 
producing perfect, permanent seed- 
ings when other seed fails. 
Alfalfa is the most wonderful and 
productive plant of the clover family. 
Tt 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, smking its 
roots deeply after moisture and nour- 
ishment, 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. Aton of well-cured Alfalfa equals a ton of wheat-bran. 
With corn fodder or ensilage, 1t 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 1s 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 its always in demand and should not be com- 
pared with cheaper southern seed. Insist on DIBBLE’S D. B. 
BRAND. A good stand of Alfalfa on a field doubles its value. 
Grimm Alfalfa 
Extremely hardy. Recommended for use in the seeding 
of most Alfalfa fields in New York and adjoining states. Ex- 
perimental results generally justify its use. 
Ranger Alfalfa 
Ranger, a long-lived Alfalfa, is highly resistant to bacterial 
wilt. It is winter hardy and is therefore well suited to our 
Northeastern conditions where a long-lived stand is desired. 
The only practical way to control wilt is to use a resistant 
variety, and for this reason we recommend Ranger as the va- 
riety to use where wilt may be a factor, and if you wish to leave 
the seeding for a period of several years. 
Only Certified seed is recommended. 
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. Brand 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
