GRIMM ALFALFA 
Recognized as the hardiest and most dependable 
alfalfa grown today, and recommended by almost 
every agriculturist in the country, as the best variety 
to plant. Grimm Alfalfa was brought to Carver 
County, Minnesota, in 1857 by Wendelin Grimm who 
had immigrated from Southern Germany. Grimm 
planted the seed on his farm, harvested what he could 
and by doing this repeatedly weeded out the tender 
plants, thus building up a hardy strain of Alfalfa. 
Grimm Alfalfa has wintered through on the whole, 
better than any other variety and has yielded more 
abundantly. Naturally the seed is at a premium and 
has always been high priced. We offer certified seed, 
that is, seed that has been field inspected, threshed, 
cleaned, bagged, and then sealed under State super¬ 
vision. This is your best protection since the seed of 
all alfalfas look alike. The “White Tag” and “Red 
Tag” seed is guaranteed by the certification, to be not 
less than 99% pure, and free from dodder and all 
other noxious weeds. (“Blue Tag” seed guarantees 
a purity of 99 % % and freedom from noxious weeds.) 
We offer sealed bags of 30, 60, and 150 lbs. In 
smaller lots, we break the seals and ship in our own 
bags, under our own seals. 
Certified Grimm Alfalfa seed is the variety to plant 
for a permanent field of Alfalfa, or where one expects 
to grow alfalfa for seed production.

COSSACK ALFALFA 
An unusually hardy strain, fully as hardy as Grimm we 
believe, of very abundant growth, with even a heavier 
root system, and a broader crown. 
The extreme hardiness of Cossack makes it very desir¬ 
able, being originally introduced from Russia. It is such 
an abundant grower that 3 to 5 lbs. seed per acre is suffi¬ 
cient, sowing in rows 3 feet apart with the garden seeder 
set at “Celery.” Some years ago, a field of Cossack near 
La Crosse withstood a winter that killed out every field 
of alfalfa of any kind, for miles around.

FANCY WESTERN 
Another strain of common alfalfa, Kansas grown, 
hardy in the belt of Central States, such as Iowa, Kansas, 
etc., at an economical price. Not recommended for Wis¬ 
consin, but of value where alfalfa is grown instead of 
clover in 3 or 4 year rotations and hence, where higher 
priced seed is not essential.

postpaid to 4tli zone. Not prepaid: 5 lbs., 81.40; 15 lbs.,

Sow *4 to 1 bu. per acre; 50 lbs. in one bu. 
Buckwheat should be sown from about the middle of 
June to the middle of July. Can be sown after a crop of 
winter wheat or rye; does well on light soils. Avoid any 
danger of buckwheat spoiling by threshing as soon as dry. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT —The large grains are a rich 
dark color and have a thin hull. Very hardy and produc¬ 
tive. It is a cool season crop, and one which may be sown 
very late in the season and still yield good returns. About 
a week earlier than Silver Hull. 
FLAX 
Seeding is a little later than other crops (some seed as 
late as 1st of June) but it does best when seeded between 
the middle of April and the first part of May. " It should 
always be grown on clean land and with a firm and even 
seed bed. Sow 28 lbs. per acre. 56 lbs. in one bu. 
BISON’ 4VILT RESISTANT— It is famous for its almost 
complete resistance to wilt, and coupled with this is its 
vigor and heavy yield. Bison Wilt Resistant Flax is a large 
seeded variety, the seed being much larger than any other 
sort. It is very popular.
