SCARFF’S ALFALFA SEED FOR BETTER MEADOWS 
ATLANTIC ALFALFA 
A Blend of Many of the Best Strains 
Atlantic Alfalfa has been thoroughly tested over all of 
the Alfalfa growing area since 1940 and has proven most 
satisfactory. It is recommended over all of Ohio. Seed 
has been very limited and supply is very short this sea- 
son. Agricultural Research Administration U. S. D. A., 
Beltsville, Maryland, says, “It is probable that the 
variety’s outstanding performance under a wide range 
of growing conditions is a direct result of the large 
number of plant types which entered into its ancestry.” 
This is a good one. Try it. Price per bushel, $55.00. 
Buffalo Alfalfa See Buffalo Alfalfa was de- 
; veloped from an old 
line of Kansas common by close breeding and selection 
to develop bacterial wilt resistance, a characteristic most 
important for maintaining good stands over many years. 
Some fields of Buffalo have stood after common varieties 
have been completely destroyed by the disease. It is 
especially adapted to the central Alfalfa belt of which we 
are a part. The cost of all Alfalfa seed is very high this 
year and we believe these new kinds to be, by far, the 
most economical. Price Certified Seed, per bu., $50.00 2 bu.

<< LADINO “—, 
This clover is one of the most valuable addi- 
tions to your clover seedings especially if you 
want to pasture your meadow. It grows larger 
than white clover, produces an enormous amount 
of foliage that is most nutritious for all live stock. 
The seed is very small and is very easy to grow. 
Use only once 12 pound to one pound seed in 
your mixture per acre. Many poultry growers 
use it on their chicken ranges where it has been 
of special value. It should be included in any 
mixture used to thicken your old pasture. Price 
per Ib., $1.60. 
Treat all legume seed with Nitragin, page 49, be- 
fore sowing. A cheap insurance that generally pays 
well in thicker stands.
