GRIMM ALFALFA U. S. VERIFIED ORIGIN 
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 New Vork, 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 You can’t question the 
hardiness of a strain if it went through the Michigan Winter of 1934.

ITHACAN OATS 
In answer to what oats shall a man buy for seed we can do no better than quote from Dr. 
Bussell of the New York State College of Agriculture, who said, “If I were to sow oats upon soils 
of average or medium fertility I would use the ITHACAN.” 
This variety was developed by the Department of Plant Breeding, New York State College 
of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y., after many years of painstaking work. Ten years average yield 
62.4 bu. per acre. 
Year after year it is a very consistent yielder. This does not hold true with most strains, 
as they soon fall off in yield and weight. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE ITHACAN OATS 
This is a very heavy yielding, thin-shucked variety with plump white kernels. The plant 
stools freely; maturing in mid-season. It is a tree or branching oat with good stiff straw of me¬ 
dium height, standing up well. Year after year the average weight is 40 lbs. or better per meas¬ 
ured bushel. 
When shucked 100 lbs. will give about 70 lbs. of clear meats. The average strains run from 
60 to 65 lbs. 
We are using the original strain furnished by our State College. It took a premium at the 
State Fair last fall. 
PRICE 
Recleaned seed (no mustard on our farm), $1.00 per bu. Jute bags free.
