OUR BRANDS fJBI 
LEWIS-CLARK is our best brand and only the best seed obtainable is so branded. It is always care¬ 
fully selected and tests the highest for purity and germination. We recommend this brand. 
FANCY. This is our second best grade, equal to, and in many cases has a higher purity and 
germination than other so-called “best" brands. 
CHOICE. Although lower in purity and germination than our other two grades, our CHOICE grade 
is good seed. 
This is the time to get that hay field or pasture started. If the acreage you are taking out of pro¬ 
duction happens to be poor soil or washes badly, plant it to sweet clover or some heavy rooted grass. 
Plan ahead—take advantage of this opportunity to secure some permanent good from this program. 
Look through our catalogue—you will find Alfalfas, Clovers and Grasses listed and described. If you 
have any questions write us and we will be glad to give you any information that we can. 
ALFALFA 
Our Alfalfa seed is raised in the high mountain valleys and is dry land seed. These strains have 
proven the hardiest and will withstand the severe winters of our surrounding country. All lots are State 
Tested for purity and each sack is tagged showing the purity and germination, and other necessary 
information. 
CLOVER SEED 
We are located in the center of the Northern Idaho Clover producing districts. Our seed is raised on 
the high benches without irrigation. The winters are severe and the result is we have one of the hardiest 
strains of both Medium Red, Mammoth and Alsike Clovers produced in the country. Great care has been 
taken in getting these fields started to keep them free from noxious weeds and we select for our trade 
the cream of the crop. This is carfully cleaned in our modern cleaning plant and each lot is State Tested. 
A copy of this test is on each bag shipped out. 
Clovers are being used more each year, especially in the dairying districts. Not only do they produce 
one of the most valuable crops, but being legumes they greatly enrich the soil. 
On pages 4 and 5 you will find the different varieties described and priced.
