SISKIYOU COUNTY 
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA GROWN 
_As you may know, California is a long state. There is quite a 
wide range of climatic variations within this state. Not only is 
there a difference in north and south but also a difference in 
altitude. If you have a map showing the mountains in California 
and go to the extreme northern edge of the state you will find 
Siskiyou County is a mountainous country. These mountains 
shut off most of the warm Pacific air and winter temperatures 
_ drop well below zero. The Siskiyou County high altitude Alfalfa 
is produced at an elevation of more than half a mile above sea 
Jevel. There are other states who produce what is known as 
northern Alfalfa. They have practically identical weather condi- 
‘tions. Immediately to the east of this county is Modoc County, 
4 > and the Alfalfa from that area has long been considered by many 
* as the equivalent of other northern origin Alfalfa seed. In fact a 
7 great deal of this seed goes into Idaho. Farmers there sell their

—- -« ff = of seed in place of their own high priced stock, They do not 
change the character of the Alfalfa any by moving it to Idaho 
mee but because they can put the Idaho name on it next year they 
aS get a premium. That is not true in all cases but it is a fairly 
common practice. 
You might as well make this saving yourself if you wish seed 
3 of this northern origin. The saving is a big one. 
: Since the seed production of northern origin Alfalfa has been 
‘ very sharply reduced, the prices have advanced to quite high 
Y levels. There has been quite a wild scramble on the part of 
> seedsmen to accumulate stock. We were fortunate in getting in 
= on a couple of carloads of Siskiyou County Alfalfa seed. We are, 
a trying to get a hold of more because we consider it extra good. 
However, it is quite clear that we will have to pay extra money 
_ for it if we get more, so later in the season prices may be higher 
than they are now. In fact the seed may not be available at all. 
The Siskiyou County seed that we have is top quality, World 
Brand seed, finest money can buy. See Item #5 on price list.

Dear Sirs:

Sincerely, Arthur Cote. 
This tends 
to develop sturdier plants. They are better able to with- 
stand fluctuating temperature conditions which fre- 
quently are so damaging to crops. We would consider 
this Alfalfa to have characteristics similar to the 
Kansas and to be adapted to similar areas. This seed 
commands premium prices over’ southwestern grown 
Alfalfa seed and there is a big demand for this type of 
stock. There is not a great deal of it available but we 
should be able to take care of early orders very nicely. 
The seed that we have is the World Brand quality 
_ which means it is clean, bright, plump, pure and of 
high germination. Shipment guaranteed to satisfy you

Crop Grows Faster 
I used Gro-Coated Al- 
falfa last year. It was 
not the highest grade of 
seed and I sowed 2 
pounds less per acre. 
I got a wonderful stand. 
My opinion is-that the

Never Failed to Get a Good Stand 
~ Gentlemen: : 
Have ordered my seeds from you every year since I’ve 
been farming, and that has been 25 years ago. I think 
Berry seeds are the best for I have never failed to get 
a good stand. 
When you select Alfalfa, you should 
eonsider the purpose for which you 
want it. For example, in some areas 
they are having some difficulty in grow- 
ing Sweet Clover. Some Experiment 
Stations are recommending, and farm- 
ers are finding, that they can sow the 
rapid growing, heavy yielding Califor- 
nia Alfalfa like the Lot Imperial or the 
Sacramento listed below. It is possible 
to get two cuttings the same year 
seeded, even though it may not all live 
over winter, you still have an invest- 
ment that can give you good returns.

Imperial 
This comes from the Imperial Valley of southern Cali- 
fornia. It is the southern most seed. For areas having. 
cold winters, we suggest its use as a One or two season crop 
for the purposes I have suggested in the article at the top 
of this page. It is beautiful quality seed and priced to save 
you money. It’s a Gro-Coated price of course. See Item 
#1 on price list, 
Sacramento 
This comes from the Sacramento Valley which lies to the 
north of the Imperial Valley and is considered to have char- 
acteristics of additional winter hardiness. We suggest its use 
for the same general purpose as outlined for Imperial. Be- 
eause of its more northern origin it commands a higher 
price but still remains at an unusually low figure for extra 
high quality seed. See Item #2 on our price list for quo- 
tation.
