FIELD 
Farm Seeds. 
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 
hardiest, 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 Especially Selected for 
Adaptability and Hardiness 
The common types of Alfalfa Seed will be available in quan- 
tity 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 are in the 
market for Alfalfa and Sweet Clover Seed, please write us, 
advising quantity wanted, and we will quote you best prices 
promptly by return mail. ; 
DOMESTIC ALFALFA—Several grades of Colorado grown 
Common Alfalfa will be available in limited quantities for 
spring seeding. Write for prices advising quantity wanted 
and we will submit samples for your inspection. Owing to 
limited stocks on hand, early orders are advisable. 
MEEKER BALTIC—This hardy strain is produced in the same 
district in Colorado as the Moffat Grimm. It is of the Grimm 
type and by some authorities is considered the hardiest and 
most productive variety. : 
GRIMM ALFALFA—The hardiest of the hardy alfalfas and 
differs from the domestic or common variety in that it has a 
5 sperading root system instead of the long tap root which is 
sometimes broken when the ground bulges, during the 
spring freezes, thus causing the plant to die. Highest grade 
seed. Very hardy and will produce a fine hay crop. 
7 ARGENTINE ALFALFA—This seed is imported from Argen- 
“ tine in South America. It is strained 10 per cent Red to meet 
: government regulations. Government restrictions have been 
as removed and this seed can now be planted in all districts. It is 
; of the Common variety and seed will be in fairly good 
‘& supply. 
BUFFALO ALFALFA—A new hardy Wilt Resistant variety 
pres developed in Kansas. The main advantage of Buffalo Alfalfa 
eae - is its high resistance to bacterial wilt. As a result of this, good 
on stands are maintained longer than is possible with varieties 
that are susceptible to this disease. No seed available this 
season. 
COSSACK ALFALFA—Cossack Alfalfa was brought over 
from Siberia by Prof. Hansen of the South Dakota Experi- 
ment Station some years ago. This strain, under observance 
for five years in Russia, during which time not a single 
plant winterkilled, was proven to be absolutely hardy. 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

HAY AND PASTURE MIXTURES 
MORTON’S PASTURE MIXTURE—Our State Agricultural 
College recommends the following ratio for a well-balanced 
permanent pasture mixture: 30 per cent Orchard Grass, 30 
per cent Brome Grass, 20 per cent Meadow Fescue, 12 per 
cent Timothy and 8 per cent Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. 
Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Postpaid (Ib. 55c) (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.50). 
MIXTURE FOR ALKALINE LANDS—The following is fine 
on lands infested with alkali: 8 lbs. Yellow Blossom Sweet 
Clover, 8 lbs. Slender Wheat Grass, 6 lbs. Meadow Fescue, 6 
Ibs. Brome Grass and 4 lbs. Perennial Rye. Sow 30 pounds 
per acre. 
Postpaid (Ibs. 55c) (5 Ibs. $2.50) (10 Ibs. $4.50). 
BROME ALFALFA MIXTURE—Owing to the limited supply 
of Alfalfa Seed a mixture of Alfalfa Seed and Brome Grass is ~ 
’ recommended for Hay or Pasture. Use 12 lbs. Brome and 4 
lbs. Alfalfa Seed per acre. 
Postpaid (Ib. 70c) (5 Ibs. $3.25) (10 Ibs. $6.00). 
TIMOTHY AND 20% ALSIKE MIXTURE—Fine for hay and 
pasture, especially for mountain districts. 
Postpaid (Ib. 50c) (5 Ibs. $2.25) (10 Ibs. $4.00). 
SEEDS 
_ _PERFEGRO BRAND GRASS AND FIELD SEEDS are specially recieaned and tested for purity and germination before 
_ shipping. If desired, we will send you samples and advise you what the purity and germination test are of any of the Grass or 
as Grimm. Cossack Alfalfa seems to withstand intense cold, 
heat and drought equally well. The flowers, like those of 
Grimm, have a great range of colors, white, purple, yellow, 
striped, ete. We advise sowing 15 lbs. per acre. 
LADAK ALFALFA—Wilt and Drought Resistant—Intro- 
duced from the mountain regions of northern India by U. S. 
D. A. Showed no winterkilling for ten years at Havre, Mon- 
tana. Ladak proved so outstanding that other varieties of 
alfalfa could not complete with it for winter hardiness. 
Ladak is quite resistant to the wilt disease which has been 
causing such great losses in the hay-producing sections. It 
produces a larger first cutting than any other alfalfa and 
this means a larger tonnage per acre under all conditions. 
It is particularly well adapted to regions where only one 
or two crops are produced each year because of short growing 
seasons or where hot, dry summers prevail. Ladak ¢gontinues 
to grow and produces a good crop of hay when other vari- 
eties 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. 
RANGER ALFALFA—Wilt and Disease Resistant—Here’s the 
new synthetic variety you have read about. Developed by 
U. S. D. A. and Nebraska’s Experiment Station. The result 
of compositing five strains from Cossack, Turkestan and 
Ladak parentage. Ranger has high resistance to bacterial 
wilt and other diseases. It is winter hardy, and has variegated 
blossoms, with some yellow flowevs. In seed production, 
Ranger equals Grimm, Cossack and Baltic, 4nd surpasses 
Turkestan. Ranger is well adapted in northern states, par- 
ticularly where bacterial wilt reduces stand. Grimm, Ladak 
or Cossack will yield about as much hay as Ranger where 
wilt is not troublesome, but Ranger will outyield these vari- 
eties wherever wilt becomes a factor. Bacterial wilt is be- 
coming more serious every year in many northern states.
