Some Alfalfa Pointers From Your 
Point of View 
W E WILL assume that you believe Alfalfa is worth while, that is, from 
the endorsements by reliable experiment stations, and the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, you are “Sold” on the fact that Alfalfa 
and silage form a perfect hay ration for dairy cattle,, beef cattle, and hogs — 
and that Alfalfa is a perfect substitute for high priced feed. 
If so, you want an honest-to-goodness seed, a genuine hardj- Alfalfa that 
will not winterkill — that will have a good yield, and that will minimize all 
elements of chance. 
From the foregoing endorsements (even from the U. S. Bureau of Plant 
Industry — and from manj' experiment stations and large and small growers) 
there can be little doubt in your mind that it pays to get the best and that the 
Best is Lyman’s Grimm Alfalfa Seed. 
No Alfalfa is true Grimm if its history cannot be traced to Carver County, 
Minnesota. We furnish each of our customers an affidavit (see facsimile copy on 
this page) certifying that the seed supplied is true Grimm. Each lot of oui’ 
Grimm Alfalfa seed is directly traceable thru our records back to Grimm whoso 
home was but a few miles from Alfalfadale Farm. 
It is a fact that this variety requires 40% less seed than other kinds, be- 
cause of its stooling habit, also its hay quality is better, as it is finer stemmed 
and more leafy. 
Eliminate the risk bg using Lgman’s Grimm Alfalfa seed.
