LYMAN’S GRIMM ALFALFA. 
GRIMM AT MACDONALD COLLEGE, QUEBEC, CANADA. 
In the spring of 1912, Prof. L. A. Klink of Macdonald College bought 300 
pounds of my Grimm. 
On’ Nov. 20th, 1914, R. Summerly, Lecturer in Cereal Husbandry, wrote 
me as follows: I have your letter of November 10th, addressed to Prof. Klink. 
He has taken a position as Dean of Agriculture at the University of British 
Columbia. 
With regard to the Grimm seed purchased from you some years ago bv 
this department, our experience has been that your alfalfa is by far the hardi- 
“Lyman's Grimm” at Macdonald College, Ste. Anne de Ilellevnc, Quebec, Canada. 
est of any alfalfa that it was possible to purchase on the market. I am sending 
a photograph of Grimm alfalfa from you, along side of thirteen commercial 
samples. You will see that it is much hardier than the others. Out of 88 
varieties and strains of alfalfa, “Lyman’s Grimm” was amongst the f,ew that 
came through the winter of 1912 and 1913, a very severe winter. 
In another section of our experimental grounds, a half acre block of this 
alfalfa came through where Mammoth Red Clover, Medium Red Clover and 
Alsike Clover in similar adjoining blocks winterkilled. We are advising the 
use of Grimm seed whenever it is possible to get it for the Province of Quebec.”
