Narrative
Info. from Canada Office of Agriculture -- Macsel gives good yield. Observations at the Univ. of Manitoba suggest that Macsel excels other varieties in its ability to survive prolonged flooding. Areas of adaptation not clearly defined. Developed in 1911 to obtain plants of alfalfa that would pollinate more readily than the strains available at that time. Comparative data available (compared to Grimm -- described in U.S.D.A. Agric. Handbook No. 177, p. 13) -- Macsel sets seeds better than Grimm. The variegated flowers and plant type resemble Grimm.
