OOD GRASS and hay land is the heritage of the 
Northeast and the foundation for its type of ag- 
riculture. Only quality seed fully adapted to the area 
will make possible the fulfillment of maximum produc- 
tion. That’s why the G.L.F. seed service is so very care- 
ful in selecting seed for Northeastern farmers—why 
G.L.F. buyers go to the areas of production to make 
certain that G.L.F. seeds are the highest quality 
obtainable. 
Alfalfa 
More farmers than ever before are growing alfalfa, 
and many believe that a small amount of alfalfa in the 
hay mixture is profitable even if it lasts only two or 
three years. Of course, the soil should always be well 
limed and the seed should be innoculated. 
Grimm and Northern Variegated alfalfas are the 
most winter-hardy. They tend to have more branch- 
FOUNDATION 
ing roots than the common types. All alfalfas have 
deep root systems which help withstand’ dry weather 
and produce good second and third crops. 
During the last twenty-five years alfalfa varieties 
have become mixed and have tended to lose their 
identity. All of G.L.F.’s “northern alfalfas” are winter- 
hardy and productive. Many farmers on good alfalfa 
land find that Kansas Common yields as well as 
Northern, and is very satisfactory in short rotations. 
Medium Red Clover 
Soil requirements for medium red clover are not 
so exacting as for alfalfa. Like alfalfa, however, it needs 
well limed soil. 
G.L.F. Red Clover comes from northern areas 
where the winters are cold and severe enough to make 
the seed hardy and adapted to the Northeast.
