Lot "DEPENDABLE" 
Dakota No. 12, Choice Quality 
Lot “Dependable” is a real bargain. It is clean 
and will grow well. It is extremely hardy and 
withstands very unfavorable conditions. It will 
do what any other seed will do. Then why so 
cheap in price you ask? It’s merely a matter 
of appearance. It doesn’t look so nice because 
of the weathering and discoloration that oc¬ 
curred when the seed was harvested. 
An Economical Seeding 
For the man who wants to practice the strict¬ 
est economy this is the seed. Customers who 
have used similar seed tell us that they get just 
as good results from it as from much higher- 
priced seed. Not as large 
berries and weather 
stained but priced very 
low so you can make 
your seeding at about 
PER BU. two-thirds its usual cost. 
In buying alfalfa 
seed in Minnesota, 
North and South 
Dakota, Nebraska, 
Iowa, Kansas, Col¬ 
orado, Idaho and Montana we have some lots 
which will not go into our Mayworth grade 
on account of * color due to unfavorable 
weather, size of berry, and general appear¬ 
ance. These lots are cleaned just as well as 
modern cleaning machinery can do it and are 
put all together in this hardy lot of low 
priced seed. 
More Seed per Pound 
The berry is smaller which means you get 
more to the pound. Many of them are badly 
weather stained and the general appearance 
is not as good as our Mayworth Quality. 
Many farmers know that if the seed is hardy, 
and this is, and if the germination is 80% 
or more, and this is, that they can save money 
by purchasing this lot and making a seeding. 
No need to put on more seed per acre because 
the berries being smaller gives you more seed 
per pound. Try Lot “Full Value” for an eco¬ 
nomical seeding of alfalfa.

THRIFT" ALSIKE 
I was able to secure some very nice lots of Al- 
sike that had small amounts of Timothy and Red 
Clover mixed in with the Alsike. You know, many 
of these natural mixtures are produced in the 
Alsike territory. They grow together in the same 
field. Of course, these lots of seed are purchased 
at lower prices than the pure quill. That’s the 
reason I’m able to offer you this 
lot of Alsike Clover Lot 
“Thrift” way below the market. 
Contains about 75% pure Al¬ 
sike, balance Red Clover and 
Timothy. Special price, PER BU.

Lot "JOUR-LAND" KOREAN (LOVER 
Has been thoroughly tried and tested all over the country. 
No soil has yet been found that will not grow Korean Clover, 
whether wet or dry, rich or poor, sour or sweet. A life-saver 
for the fellow with hilly, poor, worn-out land. Thousands of 
such farms are being reclaimed by growing Korean Lespedeza. 
h For Hay, Pasture and Soil Building 
Korean Clover is an annual or one-year crop. Generally re¬ 
seeds in the southern half of Iowa and Southeastern Nebraska, 
also Kansas, Missouri and Illinois without difficulty. Should 
be sown early in March or April. A firm seed bed is best. Ask for my 
Many tell me they’ve sown it just by throwing it on the ground bulletin on 
in March without any cultivation and had success. Experi- “Growing 
ment stations say it doesn’t cause bloat. Makes valuable pas- Korean 
ture, and hay in feed value almost equal to alfalfa. Its great- Clover.” 
est value is as a permanent pasture either alone or mixed with other gTasses. 
Farmers report doubling the corn yield following a crop of Korean. No need to 
lime when you sow it. One bushel sows 2 acres. 25 lbs. per bu.
