ALFALFA AND CLOVER SEEDS 
ALFALFA SEED 
Ladak Alfalfa. This comparatively new 
variety gives promise of becoming popu- 
lar and rightly so for it has developed 
that Ladak is ideally adapted to dry soils 
which cannot successfully grow the 
more common varieties. Ladak Alfalfa 
will produce one heavy crop on dry soils, 
after which, in case the moisture is not 
sufficient to continue its growth, it will 
survive through the season to come 
again after winter rains have revived it. 
Other varieties of alfalfa will almost 
completely die out but not so with Ladak. 
It may appear completely dead, but will 
come again, when fall rains bring mois- 
ture. Ladak is likewise strongly resist- 
ant to freezing. 
Common or Chilean Alfala. This is the 
popular long-rooted variety so univer- 
sally grown. Best adapted to deep soils. 
We handle only the hardiest types of 
Chilean, selecting our seed from grow- 
ing districts which produce seed of 
true type. Our mountain grown seed 
will produce stands of longer duration 
and prove more profitable to plant. 
CLOVERS 
Red Clover. The standard clover for all 
purposes. Makes an excellent hay when 
mixed with Timothy. Succeeds well on 
most any soil. Inoculate seed before 
planting and you'll be sure to get a 
stand. 
Alsike Clover. This is a perennial adapted 
for hay or pasture. A valuable crop for 
bee pasture. Does well either on poor 
dry soils or in wet rich soil. Being finer, 
brighter and not so dusty. Alsike hay is 
BARLEY 
Velvon. A new, heavy-yielding, non- 
lodging strain of bearded barley. Vel- 
von is winter hardy or yields well, spring 
planted. Because of its upright growing 
head Velvon does not lodge as do other 
barleys. Velvon produces heavy, plump, 
white kernels and its beards are almost 
entirely awnless. In Talent Trials, 
planted in the spring of 1942, Velvon 
yielded 102.5 bushels per acre. Planted 
as late as May 4, 1948, this barley yielded 
83.4 bushels per acre. 
Utah Winter Barley. A heavy yielding 
new bearded barley suited to either fall 
or spring planting. Resists lodging, will 
stand irrigation. Yields considerably be- 
yond 100 bushels per acre were enjoyed 
by one Valley farmer. We offer Blue 
Tag Certified seed. 
preferred to Red Clover. Inoculate all 
clovers and be sure to get a stand. 
Lotus Corniculatus (Narrow Leaf Tre- 
foil). Popular in many areas of the coun- 
try. Produces heavily for pasture and 
hay. Relished by all stock. Will take 
more abuse than Ladino clover. Used in 
irrigated pasture with grasses or com- 
bined with grasses and Ladino. Is not 
demanding of moisture as Ladino. 
Ladino Clover. Pastures more cattle and 
hogs than any other clover. Ladino is a 
perennial, heavy producing and very 
palatable. It grows 12 to 18 inches tall. 
Ladino increases milk flow, improves 
soil, will thrive on shallow moist soils 
and is the first clover to awaken in the 
spring and the last plant to quit in the

the seed at the rate of 6 pounds per 
acre. Cover lightly with a brush har- 
row. If you use a sloping tooth har- 
row, set the teeth back to the limit to 
avoid covering too deeply. To prevent 
bloating include grasses such as Rye 
Grass, Orchard Grass or Fescue. 
Subterranean Clover. Very popular for 
lighter loam soils. Starts growth early 
in fall and produces heavily in early 
spring. Provides winter pasture during 
mild weather. Dries up in early July. 
Excellent combined with grasses for pas- 
ture. More acid-resistant than most 
clovers. Used most in non-irrigated or 
range land type seeding. Not generally 
recommended for most irrigated pas- 
tures. We stock Mt. Barker and Talla- 
rook strains. 
SEED GRAINS 
OATS 
Kanota. Still the favorite red oat be- 
cause of its early maturity and heavy 
yielding qualities. Not particularly 
suited for fall planting. We recommend 
Black Swedish or Winter Gray Oats for 
fall sowing. 
Winter Gray Oats. Best suited for fall 
planting. Heaviest yielding oat for hay 
but matures later than Kanota. Very 
leafy with slender stalks. We do not rec- 
ommend Gray Oats be planted with Al- 
falfa as they are not substantially de- 
veloped when the first cutting is taken 
off. Black Swedish or Kanota would 
be best for the purpose. 
RYE 
Abruzzi Rye. The fastest growing rye 
grain for cover crop or late winter or 
early spring pasture. Produces three 
times the growth of ordinary rye, bar- 
ley or oats in cool weather. 
WHEAT 
White Federation No. 38 (Rust-resist- 
ant). Introduced by us in 1941, it proved 
all that was claimed for it. Heavy- 
yielding—1942 Talent Trial yield was 72 
bushels per acre. Planted on May 4, 
1948, this variety yielded 52 bushels per 
acre without irrigation. Highly resist- 
ant to stem rust and bunt smut. Gain- 
ing in popularity each year. 
Elgin Club Wheat. Best for upiand plant- 
ings. Sow Elgin in the foothill areas 
surrounding the floor of the valley. 
These areas have always produced a bet- 
ter crop from a Club variety and will do 
likewise planted to Elgin Club. Be sure 
to treat seed before planting as Elgin 
is susceptible to smutting. Proved at 
Talent Trial Grounds. Plant either 
spring or fall.
