ALFALFA, CLOVER AND GRASS SEEDS 
We Sell Grass and Clover Seeds of the highest grades only. 
There are no finer seeds sold anywhere, no matter under what “brand” 
they may be put up. 
If you want this kind of seed write us for sample and prices for what 
you need. You can get seed of ordinary quality at the corner store. 
The prices quoted below are for the seeds delivered to the rail¬ 
road or express companies here and subject to market changes. 
Alfalfa 
We need not say that every farm should have a field of alfalfa. Everyone 
knows it. The thing to do is to get started. Sow some this spring with 
wheat, oats, or barley. It is not difficult to raise and is worth more for 
feeding than any other hay. 
Culture of Alfalfa. The seed may be sown either in the spring or in July or 
August. In the spring seed may be sown on wheat or with oats or barley. Sow 
15 to 25 pounds of the seed per acre, depending on the quality of the seed and 
how well the land is prepared. For summer seeding plow the land early (this is 
important) and keep it well worked and free from weeds until the seed is sown in 
July. If no alfalfa has ever been grown on the land before, it is advisable to inoculate 
the seed. See “Inoculation Cultures” described in back of this catalogue. 
For spring seeding prepare the land as for oats or barley, drill i n barley or an early 
variety of oats, using about 1bushels per acre, then sow the alfalfa. It is a good 
plan to cut the barley or oats for hay when it heads out and before it gets ripe. 
ALFALFA. Northern Grown Seed. The seed we offer was grown in the 
northwest and is of a very hardy strain. 99.60% pure. 
This northern grown seed is the only safe kind. Alfalfa from southern 
seed is apt to winter-kill the first season. It does not pay to run the risk 
for the sake of saving a dollar or two on the seed. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: Peck (15 Lbs.) $3.60; Bu. (60 Lbs.) 
$12.00; 100 Lbs. $20.00. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. For certain soils and exposed fields where common 
alfalfa is apt to winter-kill the Grimm variety is superior, as it resists 
cold weather and does not heave. 
Montana Certified Grimm. This is exceptionally fine seed of the very 
hardiest strain. 99.50% pure. 
Lb. 50c transportation paid. Not paid: Peck (15 Lbs.) $4.50; Bu. (60 Lbs.) 
$15.00; 100 Lbs. $25.00. Special price will be quoted by letter ou large lota. 
Grasses for Pasture and Hay 
25 Lbs. or more at 100 Lb. rate. 
TIMOTHY. One of the most popular grasses for hay and pasture. Sow 
6 quarts or 9 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. We sell only the 
choicest recleaned seed. 
Peck $1.35; Bu. $4.45; 100 Lbs. $9.50; Bag of 3 Bu. (135 Lbs.) $12.75. Price 
subject to market changes. Lowest price will be quoted at any time. 
Timothy and Alsike Mixed. (25% Alsike). An excellent mixture to 
sow either for hay or pasture. As it requires considerable time and 
expense to separate the Clover seed from Timothy when grown together 
the mixed seed can be sold cheaper than the two separate. The mixture 
we offer contains 25% Alsike Clover. It is an unusually fine lot of seed. 
Peck (11 14 Lbs.) $1.60; Bu. (45 Lbs.) $5.25; 100 Lbs. $11.25; Bag of 3 Bu. 
(135 Lbs.) $15.00. 
Canadian Blue Grass. A more rapid grower than Kentucky Blue Grass 
and equally good for pasture, but not as suitable for lawns. An excellent 
pasture grass for poor dry land. Fancy high grade seed. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.40; $20.00 per 100 Lbs. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. See also page 5. One of the best grasses 
for pasture and lawns. 11 does well on either high, dry land or places that 
are quite moist. The standard weight of a bushel of seed is 14 pounds, 
but the recleaned seed we sell weighs over 21 pounds per measured bushel. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.40; $20.00 per 100 Lbs.

30 pounds per acre if alone. 
Lb. 25c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $1.50; $12.00 per 100 Lbs. 
English Perennial Rye Grass. A desirable grass for pasture. It forms a 
heavy close sod and grows up quickly after being eaten or cut off. Good 
for hay if cut when in bloom and good pasture after hay is cut. Does 
best on moist and heavy soil. Use 25 to 30 lbs. per acre if sown alone.

all mixtures for pastures and hay on light soil. 
Lb. 30c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $1.80; 100 Lbs. $15.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS. A strong growing, rather coarse grass, good for pas¬ 
ture and hay. Starts very early in the spring. Grows in tufts so should 
be sown with other early flowering grasses. Affords good pasture within 10 
days after cutting. Stands drought well as the roots extend deep into 
the soil. Highest grade seed.

portation charges. We make no charge for bags. If the seed is to be 
sent by mail add the necessary amount for postage. 
Please write us for prices when ready to buy grass seeds, stating 
amount needed. 
Clover 
ALSIKE CLOVER. Grows well on low, wet land where Red Clover does 
not thrive. A perennial and will last for a good many years, either for 
hay or in pasture. It makes fine hay of high feeding value. It is very 
valuable in pastures. Sow 3 to 5 quarts, or 6 to 10 lbs. of seed per acre if 
used alone. Seed of highest quality. 
Lb. 35c transportation paid. Not paid: Peck (15 Lbs.) $3.60; Bu. (60 Lbs.) 
$12.00; 100 Lbs. $20.00. Lowest prices will be quoted at any time. 
RED CLOVER, Medium. The common Red Clover, so extensively 
grown. A biennial in most places, living but two years if allowed to seed. 
Usually sown early in the spring on winter wheat or with oats or barley, 
but can be sown in July or August. Sow 4 to 6 quarts or 8 to 11 pounds 
of seed per acre. The seed we offer is American grown and the highest 
grade obtainable, over 99.60% pure and of high vitality.

coarser than the Medium and is often used for plowing under to enrich 
the soil. American grown seed. 
Peck $3.45; Bu. $11.40; 100 Lbs. $19.00. 
Crimson Clover. Used very extensively for plowing under to enrich the 
land and as a cover crop. It is usually sown in August and will make a 
good growth before winter. It does not succeed when sown in the spring. 
It is not hardy and usually winter kills in the North. Extra fine seed. 
Peck $2.50; Bu. (60 Lbs.) $8.40; 100 Lbs. $14.00. 
SWEET CLOVER. Sweet clover makes a fine cover crop and will grow on 
rough land where alfalfa would not do well. It makes an immense 
growth and if cut before it is too ripe makes excellent hay. It is also 
valuable for pasture for hogs, sheep and cattle. The seed may be sown 
in the late fall and winter, in early spring or in the summer. For summer 
sowing use scarified seed. Seed not scarified germinates slowly and often 
lies in the ground a long time without sprouting. Sow about 20 lbs. 
per acre.

Mixtures for Pastures and Hay 
We have made up mixtures of the most suitable kinds of grass for the 
purposes which they are to be used. In these mixtures we use only seeds 
of the highest quality. 
To get a really good pasture that will last for many years it is necessary 
to sow grasses that will form a close, heavy turf and such as are not injured 
by close cropping and trampling of animals. There are many grasses of 
this kind. Some start early in the spring and others continue growing late 
in the fall, so a considerable number of different kinds should be used in 
order to maintain a continuous growth for a constant supply of good 
pasturage during the whole season. 
PASTURE MIXTURES 
We have made two different mixtures for pasture according to advice 
of best authorities on the subject. 
Pasture Mixture No. 1, for dry soil. Composed of grasses best suited to 
make good pasture all through the season on dry land. We advise using 
25 to 30 lbs. of this mixture per acre. 
Lb. 30c transportation paid. Not paid 10 Lbs. $2.30; 100 Lbs. $19.00. 
Pasture Mixture No. 2, for moist and heavy land. The grasses in this 
mixture do best on strong, heavy and moist soil, and most of them will 
stand being flooded with water part of the time. Sow 25 lbs. per acre. 
Lb. 27c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.20; 100 Lbs. $18.00. 
HAY MIXTURES 
These mixtures are composed of such grasses that will produce large 
crops of good hay and make a quick strong growth after cutting and which 
can be pastured or cut again. These mixtures also contain both Alsike and 
Red clover. Will last for many years and give good crops if properly 
fertilized. Use 30 pounds of seed per acre. 
Hay Mixture, No. 3. For high and dry soil, medium and light. 
Lb. 30c transportation paid. Not paid: 10 Lbs. $2.25; 100 Lbs. $18.50.
