MONTANA 
GRIMM 
ALFALFA 
Montana grown alfalfa is recog¬ 
nized for its super-hardy qualities. 
There is probably no hardier seed 
grown. The accompanying illustra¬ 
tion - shows the relative position of 
the section where our Montana seed 
is produced. Notice the far northern 
latitude. This is about as far north 
as alfalfa seed is produced to any 
extent. Furthermore, the elevation 
is high, most of the state being 
plateau country at an altitude of a 
mile or more above sea level. Win¬ 
ters are extremely cold, while sum¬ 
mers are usually hot and dry.

This lot is COMPASS quality, which means that it is extra nice seed. This is 
really a beautiful lot—smooth, bright golden, uniform berries, and clean. Purity 
is better than 99%. Complete analysis is shown on the tag attached to each bag. 
If you want something extra nice, here it is. This is genuine Montana 
Grimm, strictly top quality. It will satisfy the most particular buyer. 
This lot is U. S. verifled-origin. 
Highest Quality—Reasonably Priced 
Never before has it been possible to buy this choice grade of genuine Montana 
Grimm, U. S. verifled-origin, at anywhere near the price we are asking. Seed of 
this quality only a few years ago was quoted at twice this price in most places. 
Even this year you will And much higher prices prevailing on this quality. The 
saving we make you will be greatly worthwhile in these times when the farmer's 
buying power is still at a low ebb. It is made possible by our “grower-to-sower” 
method of operating whereby we eliminate several links of 
the customary marketing chain between producer and con¬ 
sumer. 
This lot has everything to be desired; fine color, high 
purity and germination, extraordinary hardiness, and rea¬ 
sonable price. Although our finest quality Montana seed, it 
is not high priced. Here indeed is where high quality and 
low price meet.

^Showing Origin of Our Montana Alfalfa 
J v Ranks with Hardiest 
r Seed Grown 
It is natural to assume that alfalfa 
surviving the rigorous climate of this 
region must have exceptional hardi¬ 
ness. We have been told by ranchers, 
from whom we bought seed, that 
many fields in that country are thirty 
to forty years old. This is the kind 
of seed w T e offer our customers of the 
corn belt states, with fullest assur¬ 
ance that from the standpoint of 
vigor and endurance this seed ranks 
second to none. 
We have handled Montana grown 
seed for the past several years. Have 
received numerous voluntary reports 
from our customers of the excellent 
results obtained. We rank seed of 
this state with that of the Dakotas and 
northern Minnesota. To the farmer of the 
central states, or any place else where al¬ 
falfa is grown, we recommend it unreserv¬ 
edly. 
We offer Montana Grimm in three lots.

QRiGr ’ 
Here is another lot of hardy Montana Grimm, 
U. S. verifled-origin. Lot RANCHER, of course, 
does not equal our COMPASS BRAND but is nevertheless a de¬ 
pendable grade and is priced very low. The seed runs a little less 
uniform in color and plumpness, and we do not claim for it the 
degree of perfection attained by our COMPASS BRAND. In reality 
>it is our second quality. However, in so stating, w r e want to guard 
against the impression that the seed of this lot is of questionable 
quality. On the contrary we can recommend it as being entirely 
dependable for results, while at the same time it will save you considerable money. 
Reliable Quality At a Saving 
If you are satisfied with seed that is a little off color and less uniform in grade and size of 
herry, but has high purity, and is as hardy as any produced in Montana, you will he interested 
in this lot. You can make a substantial saving, especially if you are seeding a large acreage. 
This lot, of course, is guaranteed to please or it may he returned and your money refunded. 
Undoubtedly many farmers this spring will be forced to resort to most drastic economies, 
and will choose the lower priced lots. Others will not content themselves with anything but 
our COMPASS BRAND, and will be willing to pay the difference in cost.
