Only Certified Ranger Alfalfa is recommended. Trueness-to-type 
tests and unsatisfactory history of non-certified seed production in 
Western States have shown that non-certified Ranger may not be 
true Ranger. Certified seed purchased from Dibble assures you of 
true Ranger and the most dependable source of Northern-adapted 
Alfalfa. 
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 five 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 is 
not wilt-resistant, therefore should be used in short 
rotations (three to five years). Supply limited for 
1955 planting. 
Only Certified seed is recommended. 
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 re- 
gions North of us, for it is not as winter hardy as Grimm 
or Ranger. 
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.
