ALFALFA 
HPHE N. V. State College has spent several years testing Alfalfa strains for yield and hardiness. 
A Their findings show that Canadian variegated (seed from Canada) has proven a little ahead 
of Grimm. 
If you intend to put down a piece of Alfalfa we have just two suggestions. 
1. Use the land 2 successive years for cultivated crops before seeding. 
2. If you sow your Alfalfa intending to cut it the first year, don’t do it so late that you cannot 
leave a growth of a foot or 16 inches in the fall. The goodness in this growth goes back 
into the roots, which greatly aids in the first year’s wintering. 
CANADIAN ALFALFA (Ontario Varigated) 
IMPORTED SEED GROWN IN CANADA 
This seed has to pass our U. S. Govt, purity inspection before coming into this country. 
We believe it is the hardiest and best seed obtainable. A visit to Canada showed Alfalfa growing 
when the land was so rocky that there were only patches of soil here and there. 
The light patches are not snow but solid rock. Here they don’t have to mow the lawn or draw mud from the 
barnyard. Scattered over the farm luxuriant Alfalfa grew wherever there was a dip in the rocks, which contained 
soil. Long stretches of such country may be seen above the St. Lawrence river.

GRIMM ALFALFA 
STATE TESTED FOR PURITY and GERMINATION 
Grimm Alfalfa has long been accepted as one of the hardiest and best varieties to grow. 
The same locality that grows our Red Clover, which the N. Y. State College rate 100% winter 
hardy for N. Y., have found they can grow extra good alfalfa seed. 
USE ONLY ADAPTED SEED 
A peculiarity of Alfalfa is that a tender strain will stand the extreme cold of the Dakotas or 
Montana much better than the more moist climate of southeastern Canada, Wis., Mich, or N. Y. 
This simply proves that seed best adapted to our use should not come from the drier western 
states. The climate where our Alfalfa is grown is similar to our own.

With us this strain seems to catch nearly like clover.
