MONARCH SEED AND FEED COMPANY. MEDFORD. OREGON 
—--MONARCH’S VERIFIED ORIGIN- 
ALFALFA SEED 
LADAK ALFALFA —This comparatively new variety gives promise of becoming popular 
and rightly so for it has developed that Ladak is ideally adapted to dry soils which 
cannot successfully grow the more common varieties. Ladak Alfalfa will produce one 
heavy crop on dry soils; after which, in case the moisture is not sufficient to continue 
its growth, it will survive through the season to come again after winter rains have 
revived it. Other varieties of alfalfa will almost completely die out but not so with 
Ladak. It may appear completely dead, but will come again when fall rains bring mois¬ 
ture. Ladak is likewise strongly resistant to freezing. In many tests Ladak has proved 
superior to all others for the cold and dry conditions found in the northern Great Plains 
areas and it has also given good results under irrigation in the Northwest. If you 
desire further information on Ladak alfalfa write us for descriptive bulletin. Lb. $1.00, 
postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
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 prices. 
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. 
Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.25, postpaid. Write for quantity prices.
