ALFALFA 
ALFALFA— ("Peerless" Montana). {'J'est 9<J 78-100 PureV 
(Lb., iOc, postpaid I ; 25 lbs., $0.00; 60-lb. sack $13.25 
The seed is large and of high germination. Our seeo 
is obtained in those sections where plants have en 
dured the extreme cold ot winter and thrive at high 
altitudes. Our experience of several seasons has dem- 
onstrated the superiority of this seed under adverse 
climatic conditions throughout the entire Northwest. 
We have several cars of seed, from which orders will 
be filled until the stock is exhausted. 
Should stocks of this "Peerless Grade" become ex- 
hausted during the season, we will fill your order with 
the next best grade. 
ALFALFA— (No. 1 Montana). (Test 90 ^0-100 Pure). (Lh.. 
40c, postpaid); 25 lbs., $5.25; 100 lbs $20.00 
Experiments of many agricultural stations have estab- 
lished without a doubt the superior hardiness of Mon- 
tana grown alfalfa seed over that produced elsewhere, 
this grade is selected from among the best that grow.'- 
and is next only to our "Peerless." Samples cheer- 
fully sent to intending purchasers; when writing foi 
• sample please state what quantity yeu expect to use. 
so that we may quote you the best possible price on 
the quantity you need. 
ALFALFA— (No. 2 Montana). Per tOO lbs $17.00 
We will have during the season odd lots and small 
quantities of seed not quite good enough for our No. I 
or Peerless grade and will quote these and send sam- 
ples on request. 
ALFALFA— (Utah Alfalfa). 25 lbs, $4.50: 100 lbs $17.00 
High grade seed from our neighboring state. 
ALFALFA— (Turkestan Alfalfa). (Test 99 60-100 Pure) 
(Lb., postpaid. 40c) ; 25 lbs., $6.00; 100 lbs $19.00 
Many of the biggest ranches are using this variety pre- 
ferring it on account of its producing a finer hay. We 
feel we are very fortunate in having secured a supply 
with the above purity and to be free from dodder or 
yellow Trefoil. We warrant our seed to be the genu- 
ine Turkestan, grown in Asia. 
ALFALFA— (Dry Land Alfalfa). fTest 99.53% Pure). (Lb 
postpaid, 50c); 25 lbs., $6.75; 100 lbs $24.00 
The extension of Alfalfa growing into the regions of 
limited rainfall has created a demand for Alfalfa seed 
especially adapted to those conditions. Seed which 
has been produced from Alfalfa grown on dry land 
and without irrigation is, of course, much preferable 
for dry land culture to seed produced under irrigation 
or normal rainfall. Tt is not always possible to obtain 
seed grown under these conditions, but we have suc- 
ceeded in purchasing a limited amount of fine seed 
which is offered only until our stock is exhausted. 
In case wo do not have Dry Land Alfalfa when your 
order is received, we suggest that you state on your 
order as to what variety we may substitute in its place 
to fhe value of the money you send us. 
CLOVER 
CLOVER— (Medium Med). (Test 97 62-100 Pure). Lb 
postpaid, 40c); 25 lbs., $6.75; 100 lbs $25.00 
Looking to the future, no time should be lost in intro- 
ducing the bacilli of the Red and Alfalfa Clovers. The 
use of nitro cultures may tend to hasten their estab- 
lishment, but nature's way and the best way is to use 
a small quantity of seed, say a pound or two each of 
Red and Alfalfa Clover to the acre with whatever crop 
you are seeding. After a little you have the prized 
bacilli in your land, then you may safely call your 
farm doubled in value from a producing standpoint. 
Red Clover is regarded as the most important of the 
whole genus for practirnl agriculture; valuable not 
only for forage, but also as a fertilizer for the soil. 
Long, powerful tap-roots, which in decaying add 
largely to that black mass of matter we call soil. 
Makes excellent hay, and can he cut twice a year. Sow 
12 to 15 pounds to the acre. 
CLOVER— (Alsike or Swedish). (Test 90% pure:. Lb., 
postpaid, 40c); 25 lbs., $7.25; 100 lbs $27.00 
This Clover originally came from the little Province of 
Alsike in Sweden. One of the hardiest varieties 
known; is perennial and does not winter kill; stands 
alike drouth or wet, we know of many who have used 
Alsike Clover to sow in boggy land, making this land 
produce a crop or pasturage and at the same time en- 
abling it to be driven over as the mass of roots make a 
heavy sod. A great favorite with bee-keepers, as it 
has flowers with a sweet and agreeable odor. Sow 8 
lo 10 lbs. to the acre. 
CLOVER— (Crimson Clover). Lb., postpaid, 35c; 25 lbs.. 
$3.50; 100 lbs $12.25 
An annual variety in common use in Italy and southern 
France for feeding green. Also grown largely in this 
country in Virginia, where it is called "German Clo- 
ver," and we think would do well in our western 
states. Two or four weeks earlier than the Red Clover 
and for that reason is more desirable. Immense yield- 
er of fodder. Commences to grow at once after cut- 
ting, and continues to do so until frost. Height 1% 
feet; roots nearly black; blossoms long and of deep 
carmine color. Makes good hay. 
CLOVER— (White Dutch). Test 97% pure) . Lb., postpaid, 
55c; 25 lbs $10.50 
Excellent for pasture, and when mixed with Kentucky 
Blue Grass, makes the finest and most nutritious food 
for sheep and cows; used universally for lawns in the 
United States. Sow 5 to 8 pounds to the acre, alone for 
pasture; for lawn, 1 lb. to 400 square feet. 
i 
CLOVER^Esparsette or Sanfoin). Lb., postpaid, 30c; 10 
lbs $2.50 
A leguminous plant with many stems, 2 to 3 feet long, 
perennial, roots hard and woody: flowers in .July. 
Same' family as Alfalfa. Adapted to light, chalky soils, 
sands, gravels and barren regions deficient in rainfall 
and without irrigation advantages. Shorter lived plant 
than Alfalfa, but will last from 8 to 10 years, according 
lo soil, by judicious top dressing of manure. It is ex- 
cellent for cows, increasing flow and quality of milk. 
Would advise early and heavy seeding. Follow with 
roller. Sow seed 2 inches deep, and from 30 to 40 
lbs. per acre. 
TIMOTHY 
TIMOTHY— ("Peerless"). (Purity Test, 99.95). (Lb., post- 
paid, 20c); 25 lbs., $1.75: 100 lbs $5.50 
As a crop for hay, Timnlhy is probably unsurpassed bv 
any other grass. It is greatly relished by all kinds of 
stock, especially horses. It yields more nutritive mat- 
ter than any other grass or forage plant. It is not 
suited for a permanent pasture, as it will in the course 
of a few years run out. ft is, however, well adapted to 
early spring grazing, as it starts up quickly in the 
spring, and in favorable fall weather can be pastured 
in the autumn as well. The largest crops of hay are 
raised on rich land. It is not suited for light, sandy 
soil so well as some other grasses. The most impor- 
tant point in the growing oi Timothy is the selection 
of good seed. Poor seed, besides containing w(M^d seed, 
will not all grow. That which does germinate is weak 
and produces few stalks and seed heads. It sliould not 
take an intelligent farmer long to figure the wisdom of 
investing his time and money in reliable seed, and that 
means Peerless brand. Only ten pounds of this grade 
required to the acre when sown- alone. 
TIMOTHY— (No. 1). (Purity test, 99.43). (Lb., postpaid, 20c) 
25 lbs., $1.65; 100 lbs . $500 
This grade like the above is the piump native grown 
seed, unequaled by the stocks of most eastern firms
