"HIT OR MISS" FLOWER GARDEN 



This is made up of what I have left over of last year's seeds 

 that upon testing were found to germinate, together with a 

 quantity of fresh seed. Miss Cairns, quoted above, 

 says, "The Hit or Miss package is not correctly 

 named, for I am sure it never misses something 

 worth while. It is real fun watching to see what 

 will come, and I often get pleasant surprises." 

 Sift out the fine seed so that it may be planted 

 under different conditions from the coarser seed. 

 Large packet. 4c; oz., 10c

 have a never-falling source from which to gather 

 your decorative green. Trial pkt., 4c; oz., 10c; \i

LYMAN'S GRIMM ALFALFA 



I have discovered that there is a decorative mine in this 

 now common forage plant. The long, graceful intensely 

 green sprays and pretty flower heads in varying shades of 

 blue are most valuable to one who likes to have dainty vases 

 and baskets about; also desirable for church decoration. 



Just a word as to the variety known as Grimm. Being a 

 personal friend of Mr. Lyman, who originally introduced the 

 seed for general use, I know that it is absolutely pure and 

 true to name. But why use Grimm, especially as the price is 

 higher than for other varieties. Because (1) It is the hardiest 

 variety known and is the only safe kind to sow in Northern 

 latitudes. (2) It requires less seed per acre on account of its 

 large stooling habit. (3) It yields a much larger percentage 

 of persistent plants, and (4) it holds its stand and does not 

 thin out after the first severe winter. The great productive- 

 ness of Alfalfa is well known, always yielding three cuttings 

 and often four in a season. If you have used some unsatis- 

 factory sort and your field is patchy, scatter the Grimm 

 seed and get a solid stand. For a new planting use 10 to 12 

 pounds per ac r s.
