How to Start Alfalfa 
Alfalfa prefers a well drained sweet soil. If a test 
shows it to be acid we recommend liming as far in ad- 
vance of seeding as possible. Seedings may be made 
either in the spring or in the fall. Prepare a good seed 
bed, but do not sow on a loose seed bed. It is best to 
have it fine on top, well settled underneath. Do not 
eover over half inch deep. ‘If possible roll it. Rolling 
oftentimes makes the difference between success and 
failure in getting a stand. You could use a light nurse 
crop in the spring but avoid a heavy one. In using 
Gro-Coated Brand seed inoculate just prior to seeding. 
Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. Write us if you have 
any special questions about growing Alfalfa.

Certified Nomad Alfalfa 
This alfalfa is also sometimes called the Creeping Alfalfa. Its origin traces 
to dry and northwestern areas. These plants were selected from a field where 
the plants had persisted in spite of cultivation and all kinds of abuse. Some of 
these, plants have grown to fantastically large size. We do not recommend this 
Nomad for hay production and it will no doubt produce better results under 
dry land conditions. However, it has so many wonderful features such as high 
drought resistance and the ability to withstand heavy grazing. It spreads rap- 
idly, and we believe that you may want to try at least a small amount of it: 
In Oregon, Nomad Alfalfa produced plants that measured 12 feet across from 
a single seed.

Lot Super Value 
Northwestern Alfalfa Containing Some Red Clover 
This is probably as big a seed value as is available this 
year. It is a lot consisting of approximately 85% Washington 
grown Alfalfa and 15% Medium Red Clover. This seed was grown 
mixed, and couldn’t be separated and had to be sold as a mixture, and 
therefore could be bought at a drastic discount. A good many farmers 
make a practice of mixing Alfalfa and Red Clover in their seedings. It 
gives splendid results. Therefore, if you feel that you can use such a 
lot, here’s your chance to save $3.00 to $4.00 a bushel. Compared 
to average prices quoted elsewhere, the savings exceed that. The 
seed will show a total crop purity of 99% or better, 90% germination. 
It will be free of noxious weeds, bright color, strictly World Brand 
quality, except for the fact that it is Red Clover and Alfalfa mixed. 
It is far below the cost of what it would be if you would buy the seed 
separately and mix them. It truly is a Super Value lot and well worthy 
of this name. It is Gro-Coated Brand seed, of course. See Item 29 
on price list for quotations.
