Northern Grown—Extremely Hardy 
Lot “Gold” is fast becoming our biggest seller in hardy, northern grown common 
alfalfa, Superior performance, and consistently fine quality are just two of the reasons 
for its popularity among our customers. Our stocks of Lot “Gold” this year are un- 
usually nice. Only the largest, bright plump berries are selected for this lot. Common 
alfalfa normally will outyield the variegated types and recovery after cutting is much 
faster. Hay production of 6 to 8 tons per acre are not uncommon. Because of the ag- 
gressive growing habits of Lot Gold it is used extensively in combination with Brome 
Grass and Alta Fescue. Most of this seed is grown in the states of Wyoming, Nebraska 
and South Dakota, mainly from the Black Hills region at high elevation. Winters in 
these states are unusually severe and only the healthiest plants survive. We know that 
seed produced under these adverse conditions is hardy for any area. Hundreds of our 
customers in the northern states where winter killing is a serious factor have learned 
to depend upon our Lot “Gold” year after year. 
If you have not ordered this seed before we ask that you examine the enclosed 
sample of World Brand Ranger. Lot Gold looks like that. Compare our prices. In 
addition to a wonderful seed value you get the added protection of our famous Gro- 
Coated Brand processing. Extra assurance of vigorous healthy growth and heavier 
stands. Many of our customers have actually written us stating that our Gro-Coated 
Brand seed is worth $5.00 more per bushel than “regular” Alfalfa seed. No other seed 
house offers such valuable protection on proven, quality tested seed. See item No. 16.

Dear Sirs: Paulding, Ohi 
For years I have tried to get a stand of Alfalfa 
but could not. I used two bushels of Dakota No. 
12 Gro-Coated seed and got a wonderful stand. 
The plants grew very vigorously. 
Sincerely yours, Ben Rager 
-Wilt Resistant 
“| Uffahfa 
On the opposite page you will find information about the Wilt- 
Resistant Ranger Alfalfa and the advisability of sowing Ranger 
Alfalfa where wilt is present or apt to come. This Buffalo Alfalfa, 
like the Ranger, is Wilt-resistant type. If you have wilt in your 
area there is nothing else you can do but plant such a variety. 
You cannot control it by spraying or dusting or anything else. 
The Buffalo is not quite as winter hardy as Ranger. We be- 
lieve it hardy for most of Iowa and other 
sections having similar climatic condi- 
tions. That would include most of the 
states to the east and south. Our tests 
indicate Buffalo will recover more rapidly

completed due to growers’ negligence in most cases. We 
obtained it, however, from sources that we consider highly 
reliable. In Gro-Coated Brand seed this quality is as good 
a buy as regular Certified, for Certified seed only means 
varietal purity and quality and ean’t, be Certified again if 
seed is produced from it. We have the same’thing here at 
a big savings while it lasts. See Item No. 22 on price list. 
Lot Special BUFFALO 
This seed comes from the same fields that produced 
Certified Buffalo but the quality is not good enough to 
make the Blue Tag grade. Therefore, it is not Certified. It 
represents a Choice to Faney quality of seed. It generally 
runs 98% purity, around 75% germination, It is fully 
capable of producing excellent stands. We sell many car- 
loads of this quality of Alfalfa in other varieties each year 
and they give splendid satisfaction. The seeding rate need 
be no heavier because the berries are smaller. A truly 
money saving value. See Item No. 23 on our price list.

Iowa Experiment Station showed an aver-

its nearest competitor had only a 25%
