AMERICAN-GROWN ALFALFA SEED 
ABOUT PRICES—The prices of Clovers and Grasses are changing constantly, and were we to quote definite prices on large quantities in this 
catalogue they would probably be incorrect before we received your order. Send us a post card and immediately upon receipt of it we will send yon 
our regular quotation card, quoting our lowest prevailing prices. 
Prices on This Page Post Paid. Wholesale Prices on Yellow Price List Enclosed. 
Inoculation of your seed before planting will 
give you a much stronger and quicker growth. 
The cost of inoculation per acre is so small 
that the increased yield will repay it many 
times. 
The big benefit comes in the value added to 
your land. The roots of the Alfalfa are the 
home of the inoculated bacteria, that draw the 
fertility-building nitrogen from the air and 
store it in swellings on the roots, called nodules. 
These nodules feed nitrogen to the plant. 
Giant Southern Bur Clover 
1049— HARDY NORTHWESTERN—So called for it comes from those states like Utah, 
Idaho and others where the winters are very cold, therefore producing hardy alfalfa. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.90; 10 lbs., $3.75; 15 lbs., $5.50; 25 lbs., $8.75 
1050— BUCK BRAND ALFALFA—Grown in the State of Kansas, and during our 
40 years in the seed business we have shipped this seed to every Southern state. 
Our annual sales now amount to many thousands of pounds each year, and after 
40 years’ experience we call it the best upland American-grown alfalfa. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.90; 10 lbs., $3.75; 15 lbs., $5.50; 25 lbs., $8.75 
1051— DAKOTA No. 12 ALFALFA—This variety is the result of years of careful 
breeding and represents the highest type of alfalfa. Dakota produces exceptionally 
hardy alfalfa, practically immune to winter killing. Stands drouth and heat as well. 
Price—1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.30; 15 lbs., $6.25; 25 lbs., $10.00 
1067—HARDY UTAH—Often known as mile high alfalfa, because these seed are 
produced in the mountain valleys of Utah, more than 5,000 feet above sea level. In 
the mountains of Utah where this seed is grown the severe night temperatures 
often drop 35 degrees below the day temperatures. This seed, we believe, will stand 
more cold without winter killing than any alfalfa grown. 
Price—1 lb., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.90; 10 lbs., $3.75; 15 lbs., $5.50; 25 lbs., $8.75 
BEEHIVE ALFALFA—Grown a mile high, at an altitude of 5,000 to 6,000 feet, where 
winter stays late and fall freezes come early, where the growing season is the 
shortest of any area in the United States. Beehive Alfalfa is sacked in sealed bags 
to facilitate sale by the dealer and for the protection of the buyer. 
Price—1 lb., 55c; 5 lbs., $2.25; 10 lbs., $4.30; 15 lbs., $6.25; 25 lbs., $10.00 
1052— KANSAS CERTIFIED—Under the Crop Improvement Association. A field to 
be eligible for inspection must have been sown with certified or foundation seed. 
Field inspection is made before harvest. The inspector reports upon the eligibility 
of the field as a source of certified seed, examines the field for purity and freedom 
from diseases and weeds, and inspects the grower’s seed-cleaning equipment and 
storage facilities. The presence of field bindweed, Canada thistle, dodder, or John¬ 
son grass in a field will disqualify it. The field reports are considered by a certifica¬ 
tion committee. A sample of the seed representative of the lot for sale is tested 
for germination and purity by the Kansas State Seed Testing Laboratory at Man¬ 
hattan. If the germination and purity are found satisfactory, the seed is bagged 
and is then inspected and sealed by an authorized representative of the Association. 
Price—1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50; 10 lbs., $4.60; 15 lbs., $6.60; 25 lbs., $10.50 
SPOTTED LEAF BUR CLOVER 
HOW TO SOW—The inoculated seed should be sown broadcast in the early fall, using from 
15 to 20 pounds per acre of hulled seed. If sown in burs, 50 to 60 pounds per acre should be 
sown. Sow in July, August, September or, in lower South, October. The clover will then come 
up when conditions are favorable. You will find this a splendid crop to grow, both for feed 
and to build up your soil. Bur Clover and Bermuda Grass make a splendid combination for 
permanent pasture which is excellent for all livestock. When sown for pasture we recom¬ 
mend thorough preparation of land before sowing, insuring stand first year. Bur Clover is an 
excellent soil improver. It will furnish excellent winter pasture, and the yield of each suc¬ 
ceeding crop will be decidedly increased without the aid of commercial fertilizer. 
Bur Clover will grow on almost all types of soil and can be depended on to add humus and 
nitrogen to the soil annually without sacrificing the regular summer crop, and is one of the 
cheapest legumes that serve as a winter cover crop. If it is allowed to mature a crop of seed 
before plowing under it will reseed itself for a number of years.
