ally recleaned 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 
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 Common Alfalfa 
will be available in limited quantities for spring seeding. 
Write for prices advising quantity wanted and we will sub- 
mit samples for your inspection. Owing to limited stocks on 
hand, early orders are advisable. 
MEEKER BALTIC—This hardy strain is produced in the sama 
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 hasa 
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. 
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 
removed and this seed can now be planted in all districts. It is 
of the Common variety. 
BUFFALO ALFALFA—A new hardy Wilt Resistant variety 
developed in Kansas. The main advantage of Buffalo Alfalfa 
is its high resistance to bacterial wilt. As a result of this, good 
stands are maintained longer than is possible with varieties 
that are susceptible to this disease. Certified seed (Ib. $1.00).

LADAK ALFALFA—Wilt and Drought Resistant—Intro- 
duced from the mountain regions of northern India by U. 8S. 
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 continues 
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 svstem similar to that of 
trimm or Cossack). Postpaid (Ib. 80c) (5 Ibs. $3.75) (10 Ibs. 
$7.00). 
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 bacteria] 
wilt and other diseases. It is winter hardy, and has yariegated 
blossoms, with some yellow flowers. In seed production, 
Ranger equals Grimm, Cossack and Baltic, and 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.
