Alfalfa 
CULTURE—Alfalfa Seed may be sown either in spring or in fall at the 
rate of 12 to 20 pounds per acre. Sow with oats, barley, field peas or other 
grains aS a nurse crop, sowing only about half the amount of grain per 
acre, so that the grain will not be too thick to smother out the alfalfa. 
Alfalfa is the great hay crop for America and can be successfully grown in many 
localities. Alfalfa is of two types, the Domestic or Common, which has a long tap 
root which penetrates into the soil for a distance of 8 to 10 feet, and the Grimm 
Type, which has a spreading root system. The Grimm Type is considered the hardi- 
est, although on certain soils and in certain localities the Hardy Common varieties 
will stand extremes of heat and cold equally well. 
All our Domestic Alfalfa Seed is especally selected for 
Adaptability and Hardiness. 
The common types of Alfalfa Seed will be available in quanty this season. However, the Baltic and Grimm types are 
very short. Of the Domestic Type we have the following origins: Colorado, Kansas, Utah and Argentine. Prices are not 
quoted in the catalog owing to market changes. When you a-e in the market for Alfalfa and Sweet Clover Seed, please
