Alfalfa Is the Mortgage Lifter 
Montana Grimm 
Best alfalfa to buy this year. Most of this alfalfa 
was bought direct from the ranchers, some having 
lots of as much as 400 bushels and some even more 
than this. While this Grimm is not registered, it has 
stood, in some cases, as long as 34 years, proving it 
to be very hardy and that it is genuine Grimm. These 
fields were seeded before the days of certification and 
registration and while these ranchers know it is 
Grimm seed they are unable to furnish the proper 
papers for it. All our Montana Alfalfas come in sealed 
bushel bags giving the county and state in which 
grown. Montana Grimm has always sold in the past 
for from $15.00 to $30.00 per bushel. This year all we 
ask for this high grade seed is $12.00 bu. 
A Cossack Alfalfa Bargain 
We believe Cossack to be the hardiest of all varieties 
of alfalfa. Has a variegated blossom and same root 
system as Grimm. Cossack was brought from Siberia 
to this country by Prof. Hansen several years ago and 
has proven to be one of the best varieties. We have 
172 bushels of this special lot which contains 2 per 
cent of White Blossom Sweet Clover. This does not 
hurt it in any way as the White Clover will go out 
the second year. SPECIAL PRICE on this, as long as 
It lasts, is $11.00 bu. 
Montana Common 
While we are selling this for common alfalfa at 
least 75 per cent is the Grimm variety. This comes in 
sealed bags with state and county where grown on tag. 
Price $10.00 bn, 
Black Hill Dakota 12 
This shows the root system of 
Grimm alfalfa. A three-year-old 
plant, grown by Ed. Stansbury, 
near San Jose. 194 stalks of hay 
growing from one plant. Common 
alfalfa has a single tap root like 
clover. 
We have very little genuine Dakota No. 12 this year 
and what there is is rather poor quality. Most of South 
Dakota was badly burned out and produced very little 
Dakota No. 12 variety. We have a limited quantity, if 
you want it, but we advise buying the Montana Grimm 
this year when you can buy it at such a low price. 
Price $11.50 bu. 
Hardy Northwestern 
This is our biggest seller, being very hardy and at a low price. Much of the seed offered 
as Northwestern comes from Utah (the southern part) which is as far south as any Kansas 
seed can be grown. We do not consider Utah alfalfa as good as Kansas seed because the 
Utah seed is grown in protected valleys whereas the Kansas is grown on the plains where 
there is no protection. • 
The seed we offer as Northwestern is common alfalfa from Montana, Dakota and Northern 
Nebraska. A good hardy alfalfa at a low price. Put up in sealed bags free. Price, $9.50 bu. 
Kansas Alfalfa 
This is purchased direct from the growers by us, coming 
from Northern Kansas, free of noxious weeds. More people 
have been using Kansas seed in the last five years in crop 
rotation or where fields stand for two or three years. Bu. 
bags, bags free. Price, $8.50 bu. 
Inoculate All Alfalfa Seed 
If you expect to be successful in growing alfalfa be sure 
to inoculate the seed. This is very essential as you can 
increase the protein content of the hay as much as 20% at 
a very small cost. At the same time, inoculated seed does 
much more to build up the soil. 
Amount to Sow 
We have this question asked so many times that we still 
put it in our catalog. The quantity to secure a good stand 
depends greatly on the soil. On rich black land you can 
sow 1 bu. to 8 acres; on average prairie soil, 1 bu. to 5 acres; 
on thin high or clay soil, 20 lbs. per acre should be sown. 
Lime your soil if needed. Inoculation does not take the place 
of lime. Bacteria requires sweet soil to live. There is not 
much use to try to grow a crop of alfalfa if the soil is not 
sweet.
