About California Alfalfa 
Many farmers are ordering California 
Alfalfa seed this spring to use in a short 
crop rotation. Many times two cuttings 
from California Alfalfa can be made the 
first year planted and even though it is 
not considered winter hardy like north- 
ern_alfalfa strains, we think it has a defi- 
nite place in modern farming practices. 
California Alfalfa grows fast the first 
year. Some fields have even been known 
to live over winter when it has been left 
and not plowed under in the fall as a 
green manure crop. In some areas, farm- 
ers are switching over to this type alfalfa 
in place of Sweet Clover where they are 
bothered with Sweet Clover Weevil. 
The price is very cheap in comparison 
with northern origin seed and it is beau- 
tiful quality seed in every way. No noxi- 
ous weeds, high purity and high germina- 
tion. The hay results, even used as one 
‘year alfalfa, will be well worth the money 
spent.: Get your order in now. See price 
list. 
Geruned Wheeler Sudan. Grass 
This special fast growing strain of Su- 
dan grass is offered by us this spring for 
the first time. We honestly think you 
will like it. Wheeler was originally found 
growing in Kansas by a man of that name. 
From a small beginning, this strain has 
branched out in popularity very rapidly 
because it established a stand quickly and 
grows much faster than other Sudans 
after planting. This means pasture quick- 
er for livestock on your farm. It is the 
highest yielding variety tested in Ne- 
braska. Bright, clean, certified seed of 
Wheeler Sudan costs so little more than 
other Sudans this year that we urge all to 
try it. See if we are not right. Sacked 
in 100 pound bags. See price list. 
Sun Cured Kentucky Bluegrass 
Just what you need for patching up the 
old lawn or for starting out a new one. 
This is new crop Kentucky Bluegrass— 
-not a mixture of cheap grasses, but honest- 
to-goodness, pure Kentucky Bluegrass. It 
is cured right out in the sun and wind, 
which helps make it bright and clean. 
Free of noxious weeds, too. We harvest 
hundreds of thousands of pounds of Blue- 
grass each year and are able to make you 
areal price. Ask for lot Sun Cured Blue- 
grass on your order. 
Special spring prices: 65c per lb; 3 lbs. 
$1.85; 5 Ibs. $3.00; 10 Ibs. $5.75; 25 Ibs.

Strawberries from Seed 
Did you know you can grow strawber- 
ries from seed? ‘Through one of our Eu- 
Topean seedsman friends we have been 
able to get a small supply of Alpine straw- 
berry seeds. The fruit of this variety is 
small to medium in size, and has a dis- 
tinct, wonderful flavor and a fine straw- 
berry fragrance: The plants grow 
bush form and do not have runners. One 
of the nicest things about them is that the 
plants bear the first season. And, they 
are very easy to grow, too. 
Now we know you will not want to 
make your entire strawberry planting of 
these Alpine strawberries, but they are 
quite a novelty and a curiosity, and a few 
would be well worth having. Full “how 
to grow” directions on each packet. We 
have just a small supply of seed, so if 
you want some, order early.
