This is the first year Buffalo Alfalfa has been 
available at a price which is a real savings. Buf- 
falo meadows have stood years after other kinds 
have had to be plowed up. It is especially adapt- 
ed to the central Alfalfa belt of which we are a 
part and the much lower cost than last year for 
this hardy, erect growing and highly bacterial 
wilt resistant variety makes it the best value for 
your Alfalfa seeding. An investment of a few 
dollars over the cost of common Alfalfa seed 
will return itself many fold when you seed with 
Certified Buffalo. Price per bu., Certified Buffalo 
seed, $42.00; 12 bu., $22.00; 14 bu., $12.00

life for your Alfalfa stand which saves reseeding 
but also increased yield which increases profits.
