Alfalfa 
Sow 18 to 22 Founds to the Acre. 
As a hay crop Alfalfa stands supreme in longevity, 
yields, feeding value, soil-building and economy, and in 
adaptability to wide variations of soil and climate. 
Alfalfa produces a hay crop of from 3 to 10 tons per 
acre, a valuable seed crop, and enriches the soil. 
It will thrive on almost every soil except a wet one. 
Alfalfa is sown in spring or fall. Seed bed must be 
carefully and thoroughly prepared, should be firm, moist 
and surface loose, mellow, and finely pulverized. The en¬ 
tire field should be made as smooth as possible. 
Kansas Grown 
Grown on non-irrigated land. As pure and high in ger¬ 
mination as extra care in growing and cleaning can pos¬ 
sibly make a lot of seed. We absolutely guarantee our 
Kansas seed to he the best that can be bought at any 
price.

Utah Grown 
A fine type of hardy Western Alfalfa proven suit¬ 
able for all except northern portion of U. S. Has been 
found reliable in Central Western States. Should not 
be confused with Arizona or Kansas grown seed. 
Utah winters severely test the hardiness of Alfalfa— 
is noted for its fine appearance.

Grimm Alfalfa 
Sow 10 to 12 Founds to the Acre. 
Its variegated blossoms and branching root system 
are well known by Alfalfa growers. Especially suited 
to heavy soils having hardpan near surface, and soils 
not quite as well drained as one would like for Al¬ 
falfa. Will often winter over successfully and thrive 
in places where other varieties cannot live. 
Grimm Alfalfa hardiness is inherent. We have pro¬ 
cured some of the best seed grown in Idaho, which 
was Field Inspected and Certified by the State Au¬ 
thorities. Our seed is Grade Extra No. 1, the highest 
grade obtainable. Is shipped in 30-lb. & 60-lb. sealed 
bags.

Clovers 
Red Clover 
Sow 16 Founds Per Acre for Forage Crop. Sow 8 to 14 
Pounds Per Acre on Small Grain Crop. 
Culture. Sow Clover Seed during late Winter or 
early spring—when the soil is honey-combed by frost. 
Clover is usually sown to land previously seeded with 
a grain crop. Thus no special land preparation is nec¬ 
essary. With grain crop removed, and Clover already 
started, growth is rapid and sure.

Alsike Clover 
Alone for Forage Sow 8 to 15 Pounds Per Acre. On 
Wheat or Bye Sow 4 to 6 Pounds Per Acre. 
Grows much like Red Clover but not quite as tall, 
finer-stemmed, blossom nearly white. Makes finer hay. 
Seed being smaller, Alsike goes farther when sowing.

White Blossom Sweet Clover 
Sow 20 to 30 Pounds Per Acre. 
Thrives on any type of soil and under almost any 
climatic conditions. Will grow on sandy soil or heav¬ 
iest clay; on stony hillsides or loose loams; where 
rainfall is heaviest and where it is too light to pro¬ 
duce Red Clover or Timothy. Will stand more acid in 
soil than Clover or Alfalfa and is less dependent on 
good drainage than Red Clover. 
The best known variety. An erect stemming, 
branching, biennial plant, with uniform ascending 
stems. In its second season makes a growth of five to 
twelve feet. Very valuable for pasture, hay, fertilizer 
and seed crop. 
Ask for Prices. 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover 
This is also a biennial and preferred by some peo¬ 
ple on account of its earliness. It is about two weeks 
earlier than the white, does not grow quite as tall 
and not as heavy or as coarse. Do not confuse this 
with the annual Yellow Blossom which is of very 
little value. 
Ask for Prices. 
Mammoth (Sapling) Clover 
Much like the ordinary Red Clover. Mammoth is 
coarser—grows taller—ripens later—roots deeper. 
Produces but one hay crop—affords less pasture after 
cut. Thrives on poorer soils. Withstands drought and 
freezing well. Sow like Red Clover.

Korean Lespedeza 
Korean Lespedeza is an annual legume, coming 
from seed each spring. It is sown in the same season 
with wheat or oats or sown alone on pasture land. It 
starts growth during the first mild days in April, 
progresses rapidly with continued warm weather, and 
reaches full stature about the middle of June. Wheth¬ 
er the crop has been cut for hay or pasture, an abun¬ 
dance of seed is produced and the field is re-seeded 
naturally to a full stand the following spring. Korean 
Lespedeza grows upright in full stands; makes abun¬ 
dant pasture; thrives without lime; is drought resist¬ 
ant and an excellent soil builder. We believe Korean 
Lespedeza is the best variety yet discovered for Mis¬ 
souri. The seed should not be covered when sown as 
It requires sunlight to germinate.
