STATE SEALED and CERTIFIED SEED 
This seed of established pedigree is produced by 
the most successful and dependable growers, the 
entire process being under state supervision from 
planting time. All cleaning operations are checked 
and supervised by Crop Improvement Association 
inspectors; the seed is graded (either blue, red or 
yellow tag, as the case may be), tagged and sealed 
by the Association, in IV 2 bushel (150 pounds) or in 
1 bushel (60 pounds) or half bushel (30 pounds) bags. 
The South Dakota Crop Improvement Association 
and the Wyoming Department of Agriculture have 
a resident inspector in Mitchell who is available to 
open and re-seal the bags containing any quantity 
desired. 
In buying State Sealed Seed be careful to 
examine the seals and tags. 
LADAK 
The U. S. Department of Agriculture found the 
natives of Ladak, a province of northern India, 
cultivating this variety at an elevation of 12,000 
feet where the rainfall is around four inches per 
year, and blizzards occur at any month of the year. 
A few seeds of this were brought back and given 
to Montana farmers for experimental purposes. They 
noticed at once that the plants stood the severe win¬ 
ters and did better in hot, dry weather than ordinary 
alfalfa. When planted on wilt infected soil it stood 
again as long as other varieties before being killed 
out. 
BALTIC 
A comparatively new variety of hardy alfalfa. 
U. S. Bulletin Number 757 says: "This variety is 
recommended for sections where ordinary strains 
suffer considerable loss through winter killing. The 
quantity of Baltic seed produced is rather limited." 
Dakota Improved Seed Company are the promoters 
and breeders of the Baltic alfalfa. Placing your order 
with them assures you will get the original Disco 
Baltic alfalfa seed. 
COSSACK 
The dry years experienced in the northwest have 
demonstrated the unusual drought resistant qualities 
of Cossack Alfalfa. Many farmers in South Dakota, 
Wyoming, and Montana have positively declared 
that they will plant nothing but Cossack. 
"DISCO" NO. 28 
The demand for this excellent alfalfa not only in 
the northwestern states, but also in the eastern and 
southern states, has been phenomenal. Our greatest 
problem, as a rule, has been to be able to supply 
the demand. It is the most universally popular and 
useful of our Regional Strains. 
Our stocks of this well known variety have been 
grown under the most exacting conditions, both in 
regard to drouth and cold, so that its hardiness and 
well known resistance to winter killing have not only 
been maintained, but by constant selection, very much 
improved. 
Recommeded by agricultural colleges throughout 
the United States. Where "winter killing" is a prob¬

DAKOTA 12 
South Dakota grown. A native of the Black Hills 
district, giving excellent results to many of our cus¬ 
tomers. Owing to the heavy infestation of grass¬ 
hoppers the past few years we were not able to fur¬ 
nish this variety. However we are glad to say that 
we have an excellent stock this season. 
The quality of our Alfalfa Seed is unusually high 
this year and the price unusually low. 
A good Alfalfa patch, is an asset on almost any 
farm.
