MONARCH SEED AND FEED COMPANY, MEDFORD, OREGON 
-MONARCH’S VERIFIED ORIGIN- 
ALFALFA SEED 
One of our Agricultural Experiment Stations says: “The unfortunate use of un¬ 
adapted varieties of alfalfa has probably caused more failures and discouraged more 
farmers than any one factor in the production of this crop.” SOW ONLY ADAPTED 
HARDY ALFALFA OF VERIFIED ORIGIN. 
The true value of hardy alfalfa strains has been proved during the past two winters. 
Southern grown, non-hardy seed didn’t have a chance to withstand the freezes it was sub¬ 
jected to. Only the hardy Northern grown seed “pulled through.” Our seed comes to us 
from stands of true-to-type, pure and unmixed Chilean Alfalfa. We handle only north¬ 
ern grown seed of highest quality; free of Dodder and guaranteed to meet all State Seed 
Law requirements. 
r 
MODOC COUNTY CHILEAN ALFALFA—For years we have listed this sturdy variety as 
“Our Prize Winning Mountain Grown' Strain.” This seed comes to us from Modoc 
County California; high up in the mountains of the northeastern part of the State. 
Grown at a high elevation, subjected to the most severe winter weather this is truly a 
hardy strain. Our Modoc Chilean Alfalfa is proved seed. It will produce profitable 
stands for years. If you plant our seed of this strain it will not be necessary for you 
to plow up the stand and replant after two or three years, for it is long-lived. There 
are stands on the farm from which our seed comes which have been producing heavy 
crops of hay and seed for the past thirty years. Isn’t this proof enough that it will 
endure and proof that fields planted to our MOUNTAIN GROWN MODOC COUNTY 
ALFALFA will outlive those fields planted to inter-mixed varieties of Southern grown 
seed? Lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.75, postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
OREGON COMMON ALFALFA—We offer locally grown common alfalfa harvested from old, 
non-irrigated stands at prices below quotations of the past. If you are interested in 
securing a good strain of alfalfa seed at the right price, drop us a line for quotations. 
Prices upon application. 
GRIMM ALFALFA—The hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the severest winters of our 
mountain sections. It has a branching root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on 
the soil and prevents heaving by frequent freezing and thaws, and also adapts it to shal¬ 
lower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, or if your farm is in the 
mountain section, it will pay you to give Grimm the preference. Being short rooted, 
Grimm will thrive on soils where the water table is close to the surface. Grimm is 
very leafy and fine stemmed and is preferred by most hay buyers. Sow Grimm 8 pounds 
per acre after frost danger is over. Fertilize with Soil Sulphur or Superphosphate for 
bumper crops the first season. We handle only State Sealed and Certified Grimm seed.
