One of the finest 

 varieties for the 

 greenhouse, produc- 

 ing immense flower 

 spikes of reddish 

 green, sweetly 

 scented. The seed 

 we offer was saved 

 for us by one of the 

 largest growers of

TURKESTAN ALFALFA SEED. 



Quality Doubtful; Prices High. 



During the fiscal years ended June 30, 

 1913, 1914 .Tud lOl.j, approximately 6,- 

 000,000, .5,000,000 and 7,000,000 pounds, 

 respectively, of alfalfa seed were im- 

 ported, while during the fiscal year 

 ended June 30, 1916, less than 3,250,000 

 pounds were imported. 



For several years Russian Turkestan 

 has been the only country having a 

 large surplus of seed available for in- 

 ternational trade, but the supply of seed 

 from this source has been practically 

 shut off since the beginning of the 

 European war, until last winter, when 

 shipments were begun by the way of 

 the trans-Siberian railway, Vladivostok,
