COLORADO HARDY ALFALFA SEED 
Buying cheap alfalfa seed is like buying cheap paint. For a small saving in price you can 
not afford to take the chance of getting a failure of stand or having it Winter- kill or die of 
disease. The expense and trouble of getting a stand is something that should not be risked more 
than is necessary. 
I claim that the climatic conditions at Rocky Ford are such that Winter hardiness of alfalfa 
seed produced here is as pronounced and dependable as seed, from any part of the Northern Lands, 
bar none. While we are not famous for fifty below freezes we do have deep frost penetration, 
almost no snow protection, and probably more freezing and thawing than any place you can name. 
At any rate it is a fact that the only varieties of fruits surviving our Winters are the ones adapted 
to the Northern tier of states and the colder prov inces of Canada. Lack of snow protection and 
altitude is the explanation. 
The Lowdown on the New Ladak Alfalfa 
The above picture illustrates the characteristic stooling of the Ladak Alfalfa. By reason 
of burying its crown and starting its shoots unde rground this alfalfa outlives and outproduces any 
sort which I know of. Just recently introduced it is proving to be absolutely resistant to the all 
prevailing Wilt disease and can now be classed as the most disease resistant and Winer hardy of 
all known alfalfas. I have reports from customers and experiment stations in Colorado, Kansas, 
Nebraska, Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah and Wyoming, all 
agreed it is the best alfalfa for their sections. With all alfalfa seed so high the price asked for this 
new and scarce variety is comparatively cheap. Supply limited and can not be replenished. Blue 
Tag Certified Seed @ 50c per lb. Grower Affiday it seed @ 40c. The latter was eligible for certifica¬ 
tion. Will be pleased to submit samples. 
COLORADO COMMON ALFALFA 
This is the alfalfa that has made Colorado the great alfalfa state. You will find it to be 
Winter hardy but does not stand up to the Wilt nor does it produce as much or as fine hay as 
Ladak.lt is as good Common as is grown. No noxious weeds. Priced from 22c to 30c per lb. accord¬ 
ing to grade. Send for samples. There is no better seed than the 30c grade. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
We are offering this in the Grower affidavit only as it has about passed out as a- seed 
production variety. Nice 99% purity seed at 30c per lb. The extra feed value of one cutting will 
many time repay you for the slight additional cost.
