ALFALFA GRIMM— The Hardiest DOMESTIC GROWN 



This strain of Alfalfa seed not only endures extremely low temperature, but it 

 can be cut with greater safety in the fall, and will bear more abuse in the way 

 of pasturage than any other forage plant. Grimm Alfalfa has larger crowns, and 

 a more spreading root system than the ordinary Alfalfa. It is also claimed that 

 it will yield from ten to fifteen per cent more than any other variety, and will 

 start and thrive in undrained wet locations, where the ordinary sort was tried 

 unsuccessfully Sow 30 lbs. per acre.
