Amazing regrowth alter cut-
Vjrd ting and exceptional standa-
m bility are just
extra cutting
P features of FD-100 alfalfa—makes extra
XxOHuL tonnage per acre possible. Early vigor
P A gives this French variety a fast
i' 1 start. The erect growing habit lets
"" more sunlight down to the lower
pv leaves ... this speeds grow-
I j mm ing and also contributes to
the fact that FD-100 has a
very high leaf-to-stem ratio. FD-100 is fine-stemmed and
leafy, an excellent nitrogen and protein producer, has
good resistance to mildew and disease. You’ll get an extra
cutting from FD-100 ... goes a long way toward cutting
feed costs. FD-100 alfalfa is sold exclusively by your
P-A-G dealer.
In addition, P-A-G offers a full line of American varie
ties. Vernal, Ranger, Cody, and California Common have
special characteristics to meet your particular needs.
Purity and germination standards of P-A-G alfalfas are
higher than those necessary for certification. This as
sures consistent high quality... means you get better
stands ... more for your money.
FD-100 was certified in 1961. Even with production
increases we have not been able to keep up with the de
mand. So order early. See your P-A-G dealer for the fabu
lous FD-100 and other fine P-A-G alfalfas.
