Atlantic Alfalfa 
On short-term stands only (three years or less) Atlantic has 
outyielded Ranger in New York State, but it is not wilt resistant 
and is not recommended over Ranger for long persistent stands. 
We do not recommend it for regions North of us, for it is not as 
winter hardy as Grimm or Ranger. 
Narragansett Alfalfa 
Narragansett is a new Northeastern-bred variety 
that is superior to all other sorts for many Alfalfa- 
growing conditions in the Northeast. It has been 
widely tested by Cornell for frve years. It is superior 
to all other available varieties in (1) stand establish- 
ment, (2) yield and (3) winter-hardiness. It Is espe- 
cially outstanding in establishment and persistence 
of good stands on soils of moderate drainage for 
Alfalfa. Demonstration plantings on many farms 
confirm the superior stand establishment of this 
variety. Narragansett, if properly limed and fer- 
tilized, can extend successful Alfalfa production to 
many farms with moderately drained soils. It ts 
not wilt-resistant, therefore should be used in short 
rotations (three to five years). Supply very limited 
for 1954 planting. 
Only Certified seed is recommended. 
Keep your seed ten days after arrival, test it as 
you wish, and if you are not convinced that it is as 
good as we say it Is, return it at once; we will refund 
oe money and pay the freight both ways. Samples

We use reasonable care in packing and sending 
out our Alfalfa, Clover and Timothy Seed, but as so 
many circumstances may arise after they leave our 
possession, over which we have no control, we there- 
fore do not guarantee nor will we be responsible for 
the crop. 
Grimm Alfalfa 
Northern-grown Grimm Alfalfa has established a record 
in the Northeast for winter hardiness and yield. It is 
recommended where short rotations are desired. 
Common Alfalfa 
May be used on natural Alfalfa soils of the East where 
Common Alfalfa has grown successfully and where it is to 
be left down only two or three years.
