61726. Near Lampa, Chile. May 13, 

 1924. Provence alfalfa, produced on 

 the estate of Sefior Marticorena, who 

 is a very large producer of this seed. 

 He procured the seed from France a 

 few years ago and has made every ef- 

 fort to keep it pure. 



61727. Santa Ines, Chile. June 5, 1924. 

 Seeds from an unusually vigorous plant 

 found on the estate of Salvador Izqui- 

 erdo. 



61728. June 1, 1924. From the Huasco 

 Valley, about 12 miles from Alta del 

 Carmen. Seed coming from this dis- 

 trict, which is very warm, is regarded 

 very highly. 



61729. April 7, 1924. Procured from 

 Bridger Bros., Buenos Aires, and said 

 to have been produced in the northern 

 part of Argentina, where the climate is 

 very mild. 



61730. March 31, 1924. Seeds collected 

 from a plant near Lupan de Cuyo, 

 Mendoza, Argentina. 



61731. May 31, 1924. From near Mendoza. 

 Argentina. 



61732. May, 1924. Puo F. C. Oeste, 

 Pampa, Argentina. 



61733. March 26, 1924. Seeds produced 

 on the estate of the Chapman brothers, 

 near Enrique Lavalle, in the western 

 part of the Province of Buenos Aires. 



61734. April 7, 1924. From Colonia 

 Alvear, Mendoza, Argentina, a region 

 comparatively free from frost. 



61735. June 7, 1924. Seeds obtained from 

 Williamson & Co., Santiago, Chile. 

 This seed is said to have been grown 

 in the Huasco Valley, and many of 

 the alfalfa growers in Chile use, seed 

 only from this source, as they claim 

 that it produces more and better hay 

 than seed from other parts of Chile. 



61736. June 20, 1924. Purchased from 

 the seed store at Mollendo, Peru. 

 This seed, which should be similar to 

 our Smooth Peruvian, is said to have 

 been produced at Candarava, about 30 

 leagues from Mollendo, at a high alti- 

 tude. 



61737. Pisco, Peru. June 21, 1924. Pur- 

 chased from the market. Probably 

 grown near the coast and should be 

 very similar to Hairy Peruvian.
