ALFALFA 
WRITE FOR PRICES IN LARGE QUANTITIES 
This year on account of the very high prices of hay there will be a very large planting of alfalfa. 
This heavy demand for seed will be reflected in prices as the season advances, particularly if 
we have a normal planting season which all indications point to. The early buyer will effect sub¬ 
stantial economies now which likely will not be possible when the general demand for alfalfa 
seed is felt. Our stocks are larger than normal but we advise immediate booking of your require¬ 
ments. 
Chilian (Argentine Grown) 
Because of the short crop of domestic alfalfa seed 
this year and the resultant high prices, imported 
alfalfa seed will be much in demand because of their 
much lower prices. One of the most popular impor¬ 
tations is Chilean alfalfa seed from Argentine, which 
has proven its excellence for many years. We have 
imported a large quantity of this seed this year and 
can quote very attractive prices. Lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3. 
(Write for quantity prices.) 
Hairy Peruvian 
The hay from this variety is not quite as f'ne as that 
of Chilian. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50. 
Chilean (or Common) 
This is prebab'y the most popular of all varieties. 
Yields very heavily and produces the finest hay. Has 
a long life and thrives splendidly wherever growing 
conditions are normal. Lb. 40c; 10 lbs. $3.50. (Write 
for quantity prices.) 
Grimm Alfalfa 
The hardiest strain of alfalfa. Extra hardy in cold or 
dry places. Not recommended for planting in the 
valley. Lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.25; 10 lbs. $4.00.
