HARDY MONTANA OR NORTHERN GROWN ALFALFA 
The production of hardy Northern grown or MONTANA GROWN Alfalfa seed is again 
below normal. We strongly urge our farmer friends here in Montana to plant only hardy 
Alfalfa varieties which our State Experiment Station and reputable seed houses recommend 
as being hardy and adapted to their needs. It is true that seed produced in Southern 
States is cheaper to buy but much more expensive in the end due to the fact that it is 
sure to winter kill thereby not only causing the farmer the loss of the original purchase 
price but also a year of no production and in addition being necessary to again plant the 
field making it more than twice as expensive as if Montana or Northern Grown Seed 
was sowed. 
ALFALFA SEED 
CLOVER SEED 
Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre on dry land. 
Sow 10 to 15 lbs. per acre on irrigated land. 
Cheaper Alfalfa Seed will be offered to you but why 
take a chance when you can purchase Montana Grown 
Alfalfa Seed of known origin at the prices we are offer¬ 
ing this year. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
To insure high germina¬ 
tion, we scarify all seed.

"X-L" BRAND 
The finest grade of Alfalfa Seed grown in Montana and 
would command a premium on any eastern market, be¬ 
cause of its purity and extreme hardiness. Free of dodder, 
well scarified and graded. 
COMMON MONTANA ALFALFA SEED 
While not carrying as high a test as our "X-L" brand, 
this seed will prove satisfactory in every way. This seed 
is thoroughly cleaned, plump, well graded and excellent 
germination. A real buy at this price. 
"X-L" AFFIDAVIT GRIMM 
This is genuine Grimm alfalfa which comes to us with 
the affidavit of the grower and the pedigree of the seed, 
but which is not registered and certified, and probably 
could not be. We do not recommend it to those who wish 
to grow seed, therefore, but to those who wish to grow 
feed this affidavit Grimm represents a considerable saving 
in price. 
LADAK ALFALFA 
Ladak Alfalfa was introduced in the United _ States in 
1910 from the mountain regions of northern India by the 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. It was planted at Havre, 
Montana, in 1916, and showed practically no killing for 
the next 10 years, while the injury in other varieties was 
quite noticeable. Because of its hardiness it therefore at- 
tracted considerable attention. 
In the alfalfa hay producing states a disease called 
wilt has begun to affect production. Ladak is highly re¬ 
sistant to the wilt disease. 
Dry weather also affects production in many states. 
Ladak resists drought and produces a good yield of hay 
when other varieties are practically at a standstill. 
Where winter hardiness is a big factor in growing alfalfa, 
Ladak is superior as it withstands the most severe win¬ 
ters. 
Ladak produces a larger first cutting than other va¬ 
rieties, which makes it particularly well adapted to regions 
where only one or two crops are produced each year 
because of limitations from drought or the length of the 
growing season. 
"X-L" YELLOW BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
This variety does not grow as rank or tall as the white 
has more spreading growth habit and finer texture making 
it very popular for pasture purposes. Will grow on almost 
any kind of soil and is very drought resistant. 
"X-L" WHITE BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
A very hardy variety that will grow in all climates and 
with little regard to the character of the soil. Withstands 
extreme heat and cold, and is DROUGHT-RESISTANT, and 
will tolerate alkali. Will make a good crop of roughage 
or hay under conditions which might cause an Alfalfa 
crop failure. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Sow 8 lbs. per acre. 
Alsike Clover is undoubtedly the best high altitude 
clover for hay, being planted extensively throughout the 
Rocky Mountain regions at high altitude, where alfalfa 
winter-kills. The stems are thin, bearing a thick growth 
of leaves. It is a valuable forage sown alone or with tim¬ 
othy. 
"X-L" HI-GERMINATING MEDIUM RED 
CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
Sometimes called June Clover. It will produce two crop 3 
of hay and usually can be depended upon for a crop of 
hay and crop of seed. May be sown either in the spring 
or fall. 
WHITE DUTCH (Perennial) 
Sow 1 lb. per 300 square feet for lawns 
5 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
Makes any pasture grass better. Relished by all stock. 
Alfalfa and Clover Seed grow better, yield higher, and 
build up soil quickly if inoculated with NITRAGIN. 
Very easy to use and cheap costing about 15c per 
acre. By its use you will obtain a stronger, more vigor¬ 
ous plant and consequently a higher production of hay.
