BED ROCK 
Grimm Alfalfa 
U. S. Verified Origin Seed 
Priced even lower than last year 
Grimm Alfalfa is placed within reach of every farmer who 
wants this super-hardy variety. This is a very low price on 
such quality U. S. Verified origin seed. This grade has given 
our customers highly satisfying results. Has good growing power. 
Produces exactly the same kind of Alfalfa as higher priced seed. 
This drastically low price is possible because we obtained some 
Grimm seed that was somewhat discolored. It would not classify 
for fancy colored grades. Berries are a little smaller. While the 
germination per hundred seeds is a little lower there are so 
many more seeds per pound that this is fully compensated for. 
Actual tests per ounce show more sprouts than an ounce of larger 
berried kind. 
A Heavy Producer 
We sell this seed because we know that it has the ability to 
produce good, strong, vigorous stands. In appearance it isn’t the 
best but from a practical standpoint it delivers the goods. Sow 
15 pounds per acre. Seed is recleaned and guaranteed to satisfy. 
If you want to get a good start with Grimm at a low cost, order 
this lot. It is a genuine bargain and a big one. 
U. S. Verified Origin 
We are “Authorized” dealers in U. S. Verified 
Origin Alfalfa seed. All our records of sales and 
purchases are checked by government representa¬ 
tives. We must be able to show back to the original 
grower just where the seed was produced. This 
service is to protect buyers against any substitution 
of southern grown seed under a northern label or tag. Play 
safe on your Alfalfa seeds. Buy only U. S. Verified Origin 
Alfalfa and save money by buying direct from “Authorized” 
dealers. 
Markets Very Strong 
The production of Alfalfa seed is quite a lot smaller than last year. 
There was further, practically no carry over. Last fall’s trade cleaned 
up stocks. This year’s supply must take care of all spring and fall 
seedings. The call for Alfalfa seed at the time of preparing this cata¬ 
log is unusually heavy. It is clear that enormous quantities of Alfalfa 
will be sown this spring. Already markets are advancing. We ad¬ 
vise all our friends to buy their supplies early. 
Sowing Alfalfa 
Get your seed bed as fine and well packed as possible. Soyv a little 
later than Red Clover with a very light nurse crop. Better still a little 
later seeding after some advance harrowing to kill weeds. In such case 
sow without a nurse crop. Fifteen pounds per acre is plenty. Do 
not cover over half an inch. Roll, if possible after seeding. Inoculate 
your seed.

Gentlemen: My father used your seeds for 30 years 
and would never think of planting any other seeds than 
Berry's. I have been farming for 14 years and always 
bought my seeds from you. The seed's always come up. 
have strong hardy plants and bear excellent crops. 
Yours truly, 
WM. E. KLEMKE.

MORE HARDY 
Half Grimm 
Alfalfa 
Balance Hardy 
Northern 
Common 
This lot really is more than 50% Grimm but 
since we cannot offer it as straight Grimm we 
designate it as a half Grimm lot. We have sold 
this same character of stock for several years. 
Its performance has been highly satisfactory. 
The seed lias been well cleaned and it has the 
ability to produce fine heavy stands. Its hardi¬ 
ness fits it to any condition save where they are 
so damaging that only the straight Grimm will 
do. It is fully adapted to 90% of the Alfalfa 
territory. 
The seed is somewhat off colored being simi¬ 
lar to Lot Bed Rock in appearance. We recom¬ 
mend it for dependable and satisfactory .perfor¬ 
mance rather than for its looks.
