Extract Michigan Experiment Station Bulletin 211. 
Both the Hardigan and Grimm are the kind we list. Note where they stand in the table. 
They come in bushel Government sealed sacks. You don’t have to take our say so. 
Ontario Variegated Alfalfa in Michigan experiments has proved nearly equal to < Irimm. 
1 lARDIGAN ALFALFA has all the desirable qualities of a good alfalfa variety: 
1 . Winter Hardiness- outwinters all types known. 
2. High yielding ability 15% more yield per acre for 8 years. 
3. Abundant Leafiness. 
4. Stalks of medium height with sufficient strength to avoid excessive lodging. 
5. More shoots per plant- a finer quality hay. 
This variety was developed by the Michigan State College to meet the demand for an 
alfalfa which could be grown on the poor sandy soils of Michigan. 
I lardigan Alfalfa has been on trial in New York State for six years and like Reed Bros, 
red clover it has put itself in the very front ranks as to yield, quality and hardiness. Its 
extreme hardiness makes it unnecessary to sow as much seed per acre. This makes the cost 
of seed cheaper than ordinary alfalfa.
