SALZER’S HARDY AMERICAN ALFALFA 
A Field of Salxer’s Common Alfalfa, Hardy Wisconsin Grown 
Any sweet soil, with drainage, will produce Alfalfa. 
There is hardly' a farm where a suitable location for a 
field of Alfalfa cannot he found. Soil that produces good 
crops of small grains, clover and potatoes, usually makes 
good alfalfa ground. 
Pack the seed bed by frequent discing and harrowing. 
Seeding may be done from April 1 to July 1, and in 
August. Sow 1 inch deep on sandy soil, % inch deep on 
heavy soil, using 12 lbs. seed per acre, in drills, and 
20 lbs. broadcast. When sown in spring, it is usually 
put in like clover with a nurse crop. Early oats or bar¬ 
ley, at the rate of 1 bu. per acre usually is the best. If 
sown in August, the ground is prepared 3 to 4 weeks 
beforehand, and the seed sown without a nurse crop. 
Sow the seed as you would clover—do not sow it too 
deeply.

LADAK ALFALFA 
Wilt resistant, and elninied to be the hardiest and high¬ 
est yielding alfalfa! Ladak has consistently shown less 
winter killing than any other alfalfa, including Grimm, 
and has survived lon^' and severe drouths where all other 
alfalfas were injured or killed. In addition, Ladak re¬ 
sists wilt; 5ii varieties of Lailak in a test showed a fair 
stand after all the other alfalfas were 95% killed by wilt. 
Ladak is a heavy yielder, producing a fine stemmed 
and exceptionally leafy hay. It was found in Ladakh, 
Northern India, by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and 
brought back to America and bred up. We recommend 
it highly. We offer Certified Blue Tag seed.

HARDY NORTHERN GROWN COMMON 
ALFALFA, UNITED STATES VERIFIED 
Salzer’s Hardy Common Alfalfa is any hardy alfalfa 
that cannot be designated as Grimm, Cossack, Liscom, 
or Dakota No. 12 Alfalfa, etc. Salzer’s Common may 
contain a large percentage of, or may be, any one of 
these or a mixture of some, or all of them, or a cross 
of some of them. Alfalfa is an open-fertilized plant, 
hence crosses very readily. In other ivords. Common 
Alfalfa includes all alfalfas that are not clearly of 
hybrid origin. It is almost impossible to distinguish 
the different varieties of Alfalfas, whether from the 
seed, plant or flowers, and unless the field can be 
traced back and its pedigree established, the field is 
designated as Common Alfalfa. Our hardy Wisconsin 
Alfalfa Seed, for instance, is from some beautiful fields 
that for years have wintered through our severe, bit¬ 
ter cold Wisconsin winters but since the pedigrees can¬ 
not be established, we offer it only as Common. In 
selecting your seed, choose hardy northern grown 
seed. Hardiness is the important thing. The seed of 
Salzer’s Hardy Northern Grown Common Alfalfa is 
from well established fields. Farnier.M in the North Central 
region iniist plant only adapted seed under the Soil Con¬ 
servation program. We otter United States Verified Seed
