• > *m. 
Our “SUPREME” brand is the nearest perfect that 
can be offered. The seed contains very few, if any weeds, 
and then only those considered as harmless. It has an 
excellent color, is free of inert matter, and has a high 
vitality. 
Our “IDEAL/” brand is just as free of noxious weeds, 
but may contain a few harmless weeds, or a slight 
mixture of other crop seeds that are valuable in a hay 
crop. A saving in the cost of seed can be had if ycfar 
crop is not to be used for seed production. 
Alfalfa 
Sweet Clover 
Alfalfa yields the heaviest tonnage per acre of 
any hay crop. Alfalfa hay is relished by all classes 
of stock. Alfalfa contains a higher percentage of 
protein, to build muscle and bone, than any other 
feed produced on the farm. It is especially good for 
dairy cows. Alfalfa is a wonderful soil builder. 
Land 1 which has been in Alfalfa for a few years 
will always produce bumper yields of any other 
crops. 
GRIMM A UFA UFA — Grimm Alfalfa is a 
distinct variety which originated in Minne¬ 
sota. It produces a heavier and more 
branching root system than the common 
variety and is more resistant to winter 
killing and late spring frost. It yields slight¬ 
ly heavier than the common variety and 
produces variegated flowers. Grimm Alfalfa 
should be used where winter killing is a 
problem but elsewhere the common is just 
as satisfactory. 
STATE CERTIFIED—Our Grimm Alfalfa 
seed has been inspected in the field for 
trueness to name and after the seed is 
threshed and recleaned it must show a 
purity of 99.50 or better and be free of 
noxious weeds. If you are planning on 
growing alfalfa you should use this grade j 
of seed. Red Tag, 1 lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $2.75;

CULTURE—'Sweet Clover is one of the best 
crops for soil improvement. It can be sown with 
a nurse crop of peas or seeded alone in early 
spring. In some localities it is possible to secure 
a good stand of alfalfa by seeding a mixture of 
sweet clover and alfalfa seed. The alfalfa becomes 
established by the time the sweet clover is gone. 
If continuous pasture is desired an area should be 
seeded each season to sweet clover, pasturing the 
old crop from May until the middle of the summer, 
then pasture the new crop until fall. If the sweet 
clover comes too coarse and woody it may be cut 
and allowed to cure in the field and will be eaten 
readily. And if cut high, fresh green shoots will 
come again at once.
