ALFALFA SEED 
AMERICAN GROWN, 99'/ 2 PER CENT. PURE 
We take great pride in recommending our 
SUPERIOR ALFALFA SEED to the Western 
farmer. Realizing its immense value and im- 
portance as a fodder crop in this section, we have 
given it our closest attention, sparing no effort 
to produce a seed that should be full and plump, 
and cleaning and recleaning it until it is as free 
from all noxious weed seed as human care can 
make It. 
We are not satisfied to come within the Pure 
Seed Law by furnishing you a seed that is 96% 
pure, giving you a 4 % crop of weeds that it is 
almost an impossibility to get rid of, but insist 
that our seed shall be 99%% pure and that it 
should consist of only plump, productive seeds, 
all shrunken seeds having been removed. IT 
STANDS THE HIGHEST GERMINATION 
TESTS. 
This is the only grade of Alfalfa Seed that we 
handle and you cannot afford to sow any other 
kind. 
OUR SUPERIOR ALFALFA in less than sack 
lots, per lb., 30c; per 100 lbs., $22.50. 
TURKESTAN 
IMPORTED DRY LAND ALFALFA 
We make direct importations of this variety 
which comes from Central Asia and which is 
adapted to dry, unirrigated land. We suggest 
that it be seeded a little heavier than the ordi- 
nary type, as it is inclined to become coarse and 
woody; and thick sowing will produce finer plants. 
We can supply this in original package, or in 
smaller quantities. Lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.75; 100 
lbs., $25.00. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
98 PER CENT PURE 
A Clover for Cold, Wet Land 
This variety is sometimes called Swedish Clover 
and is a perennial, 1 to 3 feet high, succeeding 
best in cold stiff soils, and in marshy lands which 
are too wet for other species. It grows well in 
the far north and in high altitudes and can with- 
stand severe cold. 
The blossoms are valuable in bee culture. Since 
it matures in the same length of time required 
for Timothy, they may be planted together with 
excellent results, and it is also good in pasture 
mixtures for wet land. When used alone, sow 
15 lbs. to the acre. 
OUR BEST ALSIKE in less than 10-lb. lots, 
per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
This variety has a very rank growth and is not 
much used for hay or forage but makes an ex- 
cellent green manure when plowed under. In 
habit it is similar to the Common Red Clover 
except that it lasts longer. Per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., 
$3.00. 
WHITE SWEET CLOVER OR 
BOKHARA 
The value of this clover is now being recog- 
nized not only for its use in bee culture but also 
for pasture, forage and hay. It has a prolific 
growth, sometimes attaining a height of five feet, 
and seed sown in the spring will produce a crop 
the following fall and two or three crops the 
following year. It is a biennial but readily re- 
seeds itself. It is covered with small white flow- 
ers of great fragrance. Per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
INOCULATE THIS SEED WITH 
BOOKLET MAILED TREE 
YELLOW SWEET CLOVER OR 
BOKHARA 
This is an annual that is much used for plow- 
ing under as a fertilizer for alfalfa, but should 
be plowed under before it is allowed to seed. 
It will yield a good crop wherever planted and 
is one of the best crops known for this purpose, 
as it is nitrogen giving. It is much like the 
White Sweet Clover but has yellowish blossoms. 
Verv valuable as a bee pasture. Per lb., 30c; 
10 lbs., $2.50. 
WHITE CLOVER 
97 to 98% pure 
Dwarf spreading variety, used especially for the 
making of fine lawns. None but the choice grade 
of seed should be used. The habits of white 
clover make it quite necessary that it be used in 
lawn seed. We have only the best grade and use 
no other in any seed we sell. Per lb., 75c; 10 
lbs., $6.00. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
Crimson Clover is an annual, useful principally 
as a cover crop or to plow under for green manure. 
It is grown quite extensively in the south, but 
it is not specially recommended for the North- 
west, as wo have other crops which are better 
adapted to this locality. Twelve to twenty pounds 
of seed is sown to the acre. Per lb., 25c; 10 lbs., 
$2.25. 
99 PER CENT RED CLOVER Recleaned and Tested. 
PURE Free from Dodder. 
(Trifolium. Pratense) 
We wish to impress upon the Western farmer the advantage in sowing this valuable crop, espe- 
cially in such sections as are not favorable to the successful raising of alfalfa. 
It is for most purposes as valuable as Alfalfa and is a more dependable crop in many localities 
west of the Cascades. It is equally good for hay, silage or forage and has no superior when plowed 
under as a nitrogen-giving fertilizer. When sowed under with Timothy it makes an especially satis- 
factory hay crop. It yields two crops of hay in a season and requires a rich, deep soil. 
Since the value of this crop is greatly dependent on its freedom from noxious weeds the purity 
of the seed used is of the greatest consequence and we do not hesitate to say that we have, absolutely 
the best Red Clover Seed on the market. It is 99% pure, that being a 7% higher test than is re- 
quired by the Pure Seed Daw and the highest human skill can attain, and is only made possible by 
the most painstaking effort and the most improved cleaning machinery. 
The initial cost of this seed is but little more than the ordinary weed-mixed grade, and the dif- 
ference in true marketable value is so great that there can be no comparison as to which it pays 
to sow. 
AABLING-BOTCE SUPERIOR RED CLOVER SEED, per lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., $30.00. 
We do not pay express or freight charges on Clover or Grass Seeds. If order has to be pre- 
paid do not fail to include charges. Small lots are cheaper by parcel post. Include postage.
