ALFALFA - » e the Great Hay Legume 
Wise use of legumes is like having a Savings- 
account in the Bank . . . the extra soil-fertility 
can mean so much! 
Today’s new and better alfalfas, the use of 
more lime and high-analysis fertilizer . . . plus 
good care—is increasing yields and life of 
stands. 
Suggest you appraise the remaining life of 
your alfalfa acreage. When seeding its replace- 
ment, or other new acres, let these proven 
strains work for you: 
‘“‘BUFFALO”’ (Certified) 
Gaining new users at a rapid rate. A strain 
highly resistant to bacterial wilt, one of Amer- 
ica’s most serious alfalfa diseases. Bred to sur- 
vive and yield well in spite of this enemy. 
Shows more rapid recovery: after cutting than 
ordinary strains, larger fall growth, and a 
higher stand of survival. For the first two or 
three years, yields are about equal to common 
varieties. After the third year Buffalo’s yielding 
ability is far superior. Recommended through- 
out southeastern Pennsylvania, Maryland and 
Delaware. Certainly a worthy alfalfa. 
“ATLANTIC”? (Certified) 
Vigorous high-yielding variety, developed at 
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. 
Its original breeding nurseries were on low- 
fertility soils. Only plants which produced well 
under such conditions were selected for fur- 
ther breeding. Atlantic was among the higher 
yielding varieties in its testing period, and in 
its field performance continues to be a good 
producer. Has shown outstanding performance 
where short rotations were used and where wilt 
was not a serious factor.
