Alfalfa 
Sweet Clover 
Alfalfa yields the heaviest tonnage per acre of 
any hay crop. Alfalfa hay is relished by all classes 
of stock. Alfalfa contains a higher percentage of 
protein, to build muscle and bone, than any other 
feed produced on the farm. It is especially good for 
dairy cows. Alfalfa is a wonderful soil builder. 
Land which has beem in Alfalfa for a few years 
will always produce bumper yields of any other 
crops. 
COMMON ALFALFA—Our Common Alfalfa 
is mountain grown and has proven very 
satisfactory for Inland Empire conditions. 
Prices Postpaid. “Supreme Quality,” 1 lb. 
35c; 10 lbs. $3.00: 100 lbs. F. O. B. Lewiston 
$19.50. “Ideal Alfalfa,” per cut, F. O. B.

GRIMM ALFALFA — Grimm Alfalfa is a 
distinct variety which originated in Minne¬ 
sota. It produces a heavier and more 
branching root system than the common 
variety and is more resistant to winter 
killing and late spring frost. It yields slight¬ 
ly heavier than the common variety and 
produces variegated flowers. Grimm Alfalfa 
should be used where winter killing is a 
problem but elsewhere the common is just 
as satisfactory. Certified seed, lb. 50c; 
10 lbs. $4.75. Postpaid. 
COSSACK ALFALFA — Very similar to 
Grimm. Cossack is claimed by some to be 
more hardy than Grimm. The original seed 
of this variety was brought from Siberia, 
but it has been grown in this country for 
15 or 20 years. Prepaid 3rd zone. Lb. 50c: 
10 lbs. $4.75. 
LA 1) \K ALFALFA—TELE LATEST 
ALFALFA SENSATION 
LADAK is a variety originated in the very 
high, mountainous sections of India. It 
lias proved, under Northwestern and Great 
Plains conditions to be the hardiest, most 
drouth resistant and heaviest yielding 
variety so far known. In addition it has 
considerable wilt resistance. The supply 
is very limited; we offer not over ten 
pounds to a customer. Price, lb., postpaid. 
$1.00: F. O. B. Lewiston, lb. 90c; 5 lbs. 
$5.00; 10 lbs. $8.00. 
CULTURE—'Sweet Clover is one of the best 
crops for soil improvement. It can be sown with 
a nurse crop of peas or seeded alone in early 
spring. In some localities it is possible to secure 
a good stand of alfalfa by seeding a mixture of 
sweet clover and alfalfa seed. The alfalfa becomes 
established by the time the sweet clover is gone. 
If continuous pasture is desired an area should be 
seeded each season to sweet clover, pasturing the 
old crop from May until the middle of the summer, 
then pasture the new crop until fall. If the sweet 
clover becomes too coarse and woody it may be cut 
and allowed to cure in the field and will be eaten 
readily. And if cut high, fresh green shoots will 
come again at once. 
WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER — 
White Blossom gives the heaviest tonnage 
and is a heavy nitrogen yielder. Postpaid 
3rd zone. “Supreme Quality.” Per lb. 20c; 
10 lbs. $1.85. Not Postpaid, 100 lbs. $11.00. 
“Ideal,” $10.00 per cut. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
SEED—Outside the lower and heavier soil 
sections of the Northwest the Yellow Blos¬ 
som variety seems to be better adapted 
than the white. Its advantages over the 
higher and drier sections are greater hardi¬ 
ness as regards a combination of cold and 
drought, finer quality of hay, a crown like 
alfalfa so that it may be cut as close to the 
ground as one wishes. We have a won¬ 
derfully fine stock of seed. Lb. 25c; post¬ 
paid; 5 lbs. $1.10; 
100 lbs. $11.00. 
“Ideal,” $10.00
