Everlasting or "Mountain Brand" Dry Land Alfalfa 
SUCCESSFULLY 'GROWN THROUGHOUT THE 
WHOLE UNITED STATES 
It is the hardest, the most lasting, most productive, and mcst 
efficient soil enricher. ». Not only does it endure extreme cold and 
drought, but excellent crops of it have been raised on strongly 
alkaline soils. Sown alongside common Alfalfa, Mountain Dry 
Land Seed makes a top growth, averaging IS inches in height, with 
corresponding long root growth, while the common grows only a 
few inches high. Spring Is the best time to sow the seed, though 
very satisfactory results are obtained by planting in the early fall 
months of the year, and is usually sown broadcast at the rate of 
20 pounds to the acre. It produces from three to seven tons of hay 
to the acre. It will grow three to five crops a year and last from 
five to fifty years with one sowing. It has as much protein as wheat 
bran. As a feed for all kinds of stock it is unexcelled. Every animal 
on the farm loves Alfalfa and thrives upon it. As a pasture plant it 
has no equal in the amount of gain upon stock fed on it in com- 
parison to any other pasture or forage crop. It does not exhaust 
the soil, but enriches it. 
TIME FOR SOWING AND PREPARATION OF SOIL. 
One of the most important factors necessary to insure success i 
with Alfalfa is the preparation of the soil. It is in this particular I 
instance where many trials fall short. While Alfalfa is a field crop ■ 
generally speaking, the ground cannot be worked too thorough and 
too flne. Have the surface as fine as a garden. The better the i 
ground is worked the easier it will be to get a good perfect stand. 
SOW ONLY THE BEST ALFALFA SEED 
PROF. C. W. PUGSLEY says: "The very best obtainable 
should always be purchased regardless of price; see to it that 
the PURITY and GERMINATION is of the highest standard. 
It is better to obtain seeds which have been produced under con- 
ditions similar to, or more adverse than, those which exist where 
the seed is to be used. SEED should never be purchased from 
the south, and it is best to avoid seed grown under irrigation. 
SEED grown on the Nebraska divides, or on the DRY LANDS 
of MONTANA or the DAKOTAS will probably give the best satis- 
faction. One should be certain where the seed is grown, for the 
ability of the plant to withstand the winters depends largely 
upon the hardiness of the plants which produced the seed. 
TRUE PRODUCTION SINGLE PLANT 
FIRST SEASON'S GROWTH 
The above facts are given by the professor with nothing in view; 
but the best interests of the buying public, therefore we are pleased 
to quote him for your best interest, as a great deal of humbug has 
been expressed by seedsmen as to why their seed failed. 
"Facts are" a great amount of southern or irrigated seed have been sold, owing to its cheapness and profit de-j 
rived therefrom by the dealer. 
WHY TAKE CHANCES'? OUR SEED is positively NORTHERN GROWN, on the very cleanest DRY LANDS 
in localities subject to 30 degrees below zero during the winter. It will therefore stand the test for purity, germina- 
tion and hardiness, and has given universal satisfaction to every grower here at home (Winnebago County) as well 
as elsewhere. Quality seeds of this kind cost a little more than the common commercial seed offered on the market, 1 
but in the long run which do you think would be the cheaper? In the first place, if you prepare your bed as directed, 
sow Dry Land grade 20 pounds per acre, broadcast same as other clovers, you will reap quick, profitable returns, and' 
furthermore vour fields won't be choked up with obnoxious weeds that are commonly found in cheap grades of grass 
seed. DON'T PUT IT OFF ANY LONGER: ORDER RIGHT NOW.

A great many of our farmei 
friends are now sowing 2 lbs 
of our Mountain Brand Drj 
Land Alfalfa to the acre with 
all their seeding in grain crop 
This is very satisfactory botl 
for hay and inoculating th 
field for full Alfalfa crop ttf 
following year. This syster 
also makes a very fine qualit 
hay, as a small portion of al- 
falfa mixed with timothy and 
red clover as well as alsike ii 
the finest quality of hay for all 
purposes. By this way wc 
have a great many farmei 
friends who have their whole 
farm inoculated so they can 
sow alfalfa at any time and 
any place on the entire farm, 
thereby increasing its valu^ 
and earning power $25.00 per 
acre. Why don't you try it:
