ALFALFA 
WRITE FOR PRICES IN LARGE QUANTITIES 
Alfalfa is a plant that has turned the Great West into a paradise of wealth. It produces more valu¬ 
able feed to the acre than any other forage plant known, and is bringing added wealth to the farmers 
every year. Its great feeding and fertilizing value, as well as many other points of excellence, 
commend it to every wide-awake farmer. The seed should be sown in the Spring, after danger from 
freezing the young plants is over, or in the Fall, early enough to give it a good stand before frost. 
It can be either drilled or broadcasted, and from 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre is required. When 
sown with a hand seeder, go over the field crossways, using half the quantity of seed each way. The 
seedbed should be well prepared by deep plowing and thorough harrowing, and the ground well pulver¬ 
ized. Write us for special prices in larger quantities. All the seed we have to offer is tested by.the 
Government as to purity and germination, to make certain that it is absolutely free from any injurious 
weeds.
