A hardy, vigorous, broad-leaved form of alfalfa found in Norway by O. Malthe, Christianna, Norway. The present variety was selected a few years ago in the Romerike Valley a few miles north of Christianna, Norway.
The Norwegian red clover, No. 439 of A. Michelet, Christiana, Norway. The agronomists of Norway claim that the native red clover is hardier than that introduced from America, and the plant is much smoother. I found the same claim as to greater freedom from hairiness of plant, causing the hay to be freer from dust, made for the native red clovers of Finland and Russia.
