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 
Under supervision of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, we are authorized to isisue verified origin seed certif¬ 
icates for alfalfa seed, the locality of production of which has been verified by Federal seed inspector. 
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. 
Full bag lots -will have a U. S. Verified-Origin Seed Tag Certificate attached with seal.

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. Less than 50 lbs. 50 lbs 100 lbs
