drought and more cold. Its root system is branched and therefore it will stand much more wetness 
than the common variety. Quantity per acre, 12 to 15 lbs. 
Grimm Alfalfa. Blue Tag CERTIFIED. Price, 45c per lb., 5 lbs. or over, at 40c per lb.

do well. Grown in the Northwest. Quantity per acre, 8 to 10 lbs. Price per lb., 40c; 5 lbs. or over, 32c.

75c per lb.
