THE COMMERCIAL ALFALFAS of the United
States may be divided into four somewhat
distinct groups, each containing strains or varieties
that vary considerably within themselves: (1) The
common alfalfa group, (2) the Turkistan group,
(3) the variegated group, and (4) the nonhardy
group.
In many parts of the United States tests have been
going on for some years with alfalfa from various
sources, for the purpose of determining the variety
or strain that can be most profitably grown in a specific
locality or under certain conditions.
As a result of these tests it is now possible to designate
with considerable definiteness the part of
the country where each of the various commercial
strains or varieties may be expected to give the most
satisfactory results.
The purchaser of seed is aided materially in obtaining
the kind desired by the registration and certification
service in many States; the United States
Verification Service; and the staining requirements
of imported seed.
This bulletin is a revision of and supersedes
Farmers' Bulletin 1467, Commercial Varieties of
Alfalfa.
