Grimm Alfalfa Seed 



The Hardiest Alfalfa Known 



The attention of the Minnesota experiment station was railed to this 

 Alfalfa in 1901 and by careful experimentation Grimm Alfalfa was found 

 to be far superior to common kinds in withstanding unfavorable winters. 



This strain of Alfalfa seed endures extremely low temperature, 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 ordianarv Alfalfa, and will yield from ten to fifteen per 

 cent, more, will start and thrive in moist locations, where the ordinary sort 

 was tried unsuccessfully.

Henderson's Recleaned 



Northern Grown Alfalfa Seed 



Our strain of Alfalfa seed is grown in far Northern regions where 

 plants have to endure extreme cold and still thrive in those high altitudes. 

 Our experience — and that of our customers — has shown that such seed is 

 undoubtedly the best for the Northern and Eastern Stales, and that it 

 excels all others in hardiness. Before offering this seed to our customers 

 for sale, it is thoroughly recleaned by the most modern seed-cleaning 

 machinery in America. Sow in the Northern States during June, July or 

 August. 30 to 40 lbs. of seed per acre if broadcast, 25 to 30 lbs. if drilled. 

 In the South sow in February or September.

Henderson's' Medium Red Clover 



Domestic Grown (Trifolium Pratense) 



Red Clover grows one to two feet in height and usually makes two 

 crops a year, yielding two to three tons of cured hay per acre. Stock 

 fed on it require less grain, chopped and steamed it is a good substitute 

 for green food for poultry' during the winter. As pasturage all animals 

 thrive on it, particularly cattle, sheep and pigs, and as a green manuring 

 and soiling crop it is very valuable, adding numus and nitrogen to the 

 soil. In Northern States Red Clover seed is usually sown in the spring; 

 the earlier the better. If grown alone, use 12 to 14 pounds of seed per 

 acre if broadcasted, and cover not over half an inch deep.

Henderson's Superior Recleaned 



Crimson or Scarlet Clover i^natZn) 



Plowing under a crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of 

 stable manure per acre and even if the Clover be harvested or pastured, 

 the benefits derived from the nitrogenous root formation will many times 

 repay the cost of seed and labor. 



Sow at the rate of 15 pounds of seed per acre, either broadcast or drilled. 

 Cover lightly with a harrow. If sown too early, especially in Southern 

 States, it is apt to mature and form seeds the same season without making

 September 15, and in the South as late as October. Time of flowering is 

 June; height 2 feet.
