ALFALFA 
The most valuable of all legume crops 
Alfalfa has done more to increase the value of farm lands than any other crop 
raised. It will thrive on any soil except a wet one, and not only produces a valuable 
hay crop of several tons to the acre but also enriches the soil on which it is grown. 
It is of the utmost importance that the seed bed be carefully prepared. The ground should be finely 
pulverised but firm. As alfalfa is an expensive crop to sow, and since a good stand will last for a 
number of years, it is very important that none but the best seed be used. Cheap seed of inferior quality 
may result in a poor stand or be the cause of the farm becoming infested with noxious weeds. 
Northwestern Grown Variegated Alfalfa 
It is generally conceded that only those strains of Alfalfa with variegated flowers are hardy in the 
northwest. Such strains are Grimm, Cossack, Baltic, etc. The seed we offer is seed from fields with 
variegated blooms, but for which the grower has no pedigree. The fact of its hardiness and variegated 
blossoms proves that it is one of, or a mixture of, the hardy strains. 
Our seed is secured in the large producing districts by men who carefully select only the best lots 
for our particular trade. When you order your seed from us you may rest assured that you are getting 
stock of the highest quality. Plant a field of our Lewis-Clark Quality, Tall Growing Alfalfa.

Grimm Alfalfa 
Where winter killing of alfalfa is experienced, we recommend Grimm’s. This 
variety has a low, spreading crown which withstands the destructive freezing and 
thawing that raises the crowns of the other varieties.

Affidavit Grimm 
This is genuine Grimm alfalfa but the fields have not been registered. We have the growers af¬ 
fidavit that the seed is Grimm. We do not recommend you to plant this if you are going to raise 
seed, but for hay purposes will be just as good as the certified, and at a 
considerable saving. Our seed was grown in the northern part of Montana 
near the Canadian border at an elevation of between 3500 and 4000 feet.

Medium Red Clover 
Medium Red Clover is conceded to be the most important of the clovers. 
It is a valuable crop for either hay or pasture, and at the same time builds 
up the soil. It has been proven that it is a success on the uplands of this 
district, and is one of the most profitable crops raised. A large, profitable 
hay crop can be raised, or the field can be clipped early and the second crop 
saved for seed. 
Great care should be used in selecting the seed that no harmful weeds 
are introduced onto the farm. We use every precaution possible in selecting 
our seed and spare neither time nor expense in recleaning it on the most up- 
to-date cleaning machinery possible to buy.
