States, in many foreign countries and

branching roots which are not found 
in common Alfalfas, and has large 
spreading crowns. It appears to grow 
better where there is a hardpan sub- 
soil to contend with than many other 
varieties. The root system undoubt- 
edly plays a big part in its hardiness, 
enabling it to withstand soil heaving, 
freezing and thawing better than va- 
rieties having only a single taproot. 
The blossoms are variegated from

Russia, during which time not a single plant

In recent years, the demand for Cossack 
has been increasing and there never has been 
sufficient seed to take care of all requirements. 
Cossack Alfalfa produces a somewhat finer 
hay than many of the other varieties and is 
equally as hardy as Grimm. 
Cossack Alfalfa seems to withstand intense 
cold, heat and drought equally well. The flow-

of colors, white, purple, yellow, striped, ete.

Common Alfalfa 
DAKOTA NO. 12 
The old dependable strain 
Minnesota-Dakota-Montana grown. 
This is the most commonly grown variety 
in Minn., Dakota and Montana. It has given 
the best of results on all types of soil and 
under all climatic conditions. Our seed stocks 
come from fields that have been in Alfalfa 
many years and the plants which endure the 
extremes of hot summers, severe winters and 
dry, high altitudes are thoroughly hardy. 
As Dakota No. 12 is always in great demand, 
we suggest placing your orders as early as 
possible. The performance of this variety 
has made it extremely popular in southern 
Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and other states in 
the Mid-west and East. Price: Lb. 50c, post- 
paid. See Blue Figure Price List.

from the mountain regions of north- 
ern India by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture. It was planted at Havre, 
Montana, in 1916 and showed no 
winterkilling for more than ten 
years. When it was distributed in 
small quantities, Ladak immediately 
proved so outstanding that its rapid 
distribution was assured. Other va- 
rieties of Alfalfa could not compete 
with it for winter hardiness. 
Ladak is highly resistant to the 
wilt disease which has been causing 
such great losses in the hay-produc- 
ing sections. It produces a larger 
first cutting than any other Alfalfa 
and this means a larger tonnage per 
acre under all conditions. 

regions where only one or two crops 
are produced each year because of 
short growing seasons or where hot, 
dry summers prevail. Ladak con- 
tinues to grow and produces a good 
crop of hay when other varieties are 
practically at a standstill. The hay 
is very leafy and of high feeding 
value and is of exceptionally high 
quality. 
Ladak has a large branching root 
system similar to that of Grimm or 
Cossack. Seed supply very limited.
