WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT GRIMM
ALFALFA.

Recently one Of the correspond
ents OF the Agronomy Department
sent a sample of alfalfa asking wheth-
er or not it was the Grimm variety.
This question is Of such general In
terest that the reply Is given n full
to our readers:
II would state that the plant which
you submitted is Of the species Medi-
cago Saliva, that It resembles Grimm
IN your description, that It would be
impossible to guarantee absolutely
that It is Grimm alfalfa without know
ing its pedigree or history.
This factor Of history or pedigree.
in the case OF Grimm alfalfa Is quite
important az the price Of Grimm seed
Is about three times as high as the
price of common alfalfa seed. This
high price of the seed Of Grimm Is
due to the fact that the Grimm alfalfa
made the best yields Of hay at sever
al experiment stations reported In q
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture bulletin and several experiment
station bulletins.
Unfortunately the sample which
YOU sent in has no leaves on It. The
leaf OF the Grimm alfalfa is long and
narrow and tends to be sharper point
ed than that Of the Turkestan, though
this character does not always hold
true.
