® s GRIMM 
LOT "FULL VALUE" 
Hardy Northern Grown 
ALFALFA 
In buying alfalfa seed in Minnesota, 
North and South Dakota, Nebraska, 
Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho and Mon¬ 
tana we have some lots which will not 
go into our MAYWORTH grade on ac¬ 
count of color due to unfavorable 
weather, size of berry, and general ap¬ 
pearance. 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 weather stained and the general ap¬ 
pearance is not as good as our MAY- 
WORTH 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 pur¬ 
chasing this lot and making a seeding. 
No need to put on more seed per acre, 
because the berries being smaller give 
you more seed per pound. 
Try Lot “Full Value” for an 
economical seeding of al¬ 
falfa. PER BTJ., ONLY...

Sealed in Bushel Bags for Your Protection 
MAYWORTH Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all. 
Grown in the severe climates of the Northwest, Minne¬ 
sota, Montana and Idaho, it has to be hardy to survive. 
Sixty below zero in the winter and day after day over 100 
degrees in the summer. 
My stock of MAYWORTH Grimm Alfalfa is descended 
from the genuine Grimm seed. Grimm cannot be told 
simply by looking at the seed but an expert can tell it 
growing on the farm because of the great variety of color 
and by examining the root system and other charac¬ 
teristics. 
That’s why we personally go to farmers in the growing 
sections where Grimm Alfalfa Seed is produced and select 
the seed by checking up on the pedigree and studying 
carefully the coloring of the bloom, the root 
system and the general hardy characteristics 
of the plant. Use only 12 to 15 pounds per 
acre. Sealed bushel bags. PER BTJ., ONLY

LOT "DRY LAND" 
Nebraska Grown ALFALFA 
MAYWORTH 
My buyers in Central Nebraska ran 
on to some especially fine lots of seed. 
I have put these in our Lot “Dry Land.” 
“Dry Land” is an extra selected lot of 
new crop Nebraska Grown Alfalfa, 
golden colored, plump seed. Drouth re¬ 
sisting of course. The germination is of 
the highest and, of course, 
being MAYWORTH quality, 
is the finest that you can 
secure. PER BTJ., ONLY. . .
