GENUINE KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
Origin Verified by the United States Department of Agriculture 
We believe it is a safe estimate that fully 90 per cent of the alfalfa seed used in 
the ^Eastern and Southern States is of Kansas origin. It stands the severe winters 
of Kansas, and will come through our winters splendidly, rarely ever winter-killing. 
In a test of alfalfas from many sources made by the Virginia Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station, four plantings of Kansas alfalfa stood the winter better than any in 
these tests, and yielded more than 4% tons per acre. It makes a quick spring growth 
and gives seyeral cuttings each season. Our Trade-Mark Brand Kansas Alfalfa is the 
highest quality obtainable, testing fully 99% per cent Purity and 90 per cent Germi¬ 
nation. By mail postpaid, lb. 42c; 5 lbs. $1.65; 10 lbs. $3.15; 25 lbs. $7.15; 50 lbs. $14.15.

GRIMM ALFALFA 
U. S. Verified Origin 
Our seeds are grown on non-irrigated land, in the extreme North, and is the most 
dependable and hardy strain available. 
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the severest winters of 
our mountain sections. It has a deep branching root growth that gives the plant a firm 
hold on the soil and prevents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also adapts 
it to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, or if your farm is 
in the mountain section, it will pay you to give Grimm the preference.

UTAH ALFALFA —The severe drought experienced last summer in this State re¬ 
duced the seed crop of alfalfa materially, and the small quantity available is com¬ 
manding a premium of 5c to 6c a pound over Kansas grown seed. There is no advan¬ 
tage in Utah over Kansas grown seed, except in high altitudes, where the use of 
Grimm Alfalfa is much preferred. 
Be sure and inoculate Alfalfa with Stimugerm.

FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA 
Once established, it lasts for years. 
Yields three to five cuttings of nutritious hay 
each season. 
Feeding value high—contains as much protein 
as wheat bran. 
Does not exhaust the soil; it enriches it. 
Requires but little care and attention. 
It supplies its own nitrogen and stores it in 
the land to make bigger the crops that fol¬ 
low it. 
One of the farm’s most profitable crops; it pays 
constant dividends.

WOOD’S DIXIE WHITE CLOVER 
For Pasturage 
Makes a vigorous winter growth and furnishes abundant grazing 
throughout the year under severe Southern conditions, thriving 
notwithstanding heat, cold and drought. It should be seeded on 
every lespedeza, bermuda and carpet grass pasture. In a two-year 
test of white clovers from all parts of the world it made the best 
and earliest grazing, the most luxuriant winter and early spring 
growth (10 inches) and stood the hot, dry summers. A high au¬ 
thority says: “Its hay contains 22%% protein, almost twice as 
much as alfalfa, red clover or lespedeza, and dairymen can feed it 
instead of concentrates.’’ Sow 5 lbs. to 8 lbs. per acre. Bv mail

WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
A Real Soil Builder 
There is probably no crop that will improve soil fertility as fast 
as Sweet Clover if a reasonable stand and growth is obtained. 
Sweet Clover will grow on any type of soil, provided it is well 
limed and inoculated, and like all other crops it responds readily 
and profitably to fertilizer and manure. 
When sowing Sweet Clover in the spring some nurse crop should 
always be used, as it does not compete strongly with weeds, and 
when sown alone it is likely to be killed out. Any of the early 
small grains, such as Burt and Fulghum oats or a fall-sown grain 
are the best nurse crops for Sweet Clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per 
acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.85; 25 lbs. 
$3.90; 50 lbs. $7.65.
