About the Best Crop a Farmer Can Raise. 
PALPALFA 
Always the Most Profitable 
Crop to Raise... 
Alfalfa Is 
It Is Almost Indispensable on the Farm. 
Alfalfa increases land value; Alfalfa puts nitrogen into the soil, especially if the seed is inoculated 
before being planted. 
. .. for Lasting Fields 
USE HARDY STRAINS OF ALFALFA and northern 
grown seed that will withstand winter killing and be 
resistant to disease. A well fed plant yields more hay 
and is much less likely to be damaged by wilt or blight. 
A bag of Superphosphate per acre will supply the food 
that Alfalfa needs in this section of the country. The 
extra hay produced will more than pay for the cost of 
the fertilizer. 
MEEKER BALTIC. Grown mostly under dry conditions 
in northwestern Colorado. Produces an abundance of 
hay for three or four years. It has not proven to be re- 
sistant to wilt and for that reason should only be plant- 
ed where the intention is to plow it up after four years. 
HARDESTAN. A wilt-resisting variety and a good hay 
yielder. It is a poor seed yielder and the supply is sel- 
dom enough to satisfy the demand. 
GRIMM. A well known hardy strain. Does not winter 
kill and produces more and finer hay than common 
Alfalfa. 
LADAK. Ladak is considered resistant to Alfalfa wilt. 
Is one of the hardiest if not the hardiest of all Alfalfa. 
Stocks are very limited. 
COSSACK. Another hardy strain that is growing in pop- 
ularity each year. 
RANGER ALFALFA. A wilt resistant variety developed 
by the Nebraska Experiment Station and selected from 
Cossack, Turkestan, and Ladak. 
BUFFALO ALFALFA. Developed by 
Station at Hays, Kansas from Kansas Common. 
wilt resistant and high yielder. 
“COLUMBINE BRAND” ALFALFA. When you see ‘“‘Col- 
umbine Brand” on a bag or tag, you don’t have to ask 
your dealer to show you the seed. Whether it’s from 
Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, you can rest assured 
that the quality of the seed itself is the acme of per- 
fection. 
IMPORTED ALFALFA. Owing to short supplies of 
American-grown seed there will be a supply of import- 
ed seed for this year’s seeding. This is similar to our 
common type seed. It should produce hay for at least 
four years as far north as the Colorado-Wyoming line. 
10% of the seed is stained red as a means of identifica- 
tion.
