LADAK ALFALFA—THE LATEST ALFALFA SENSATION 
LADAK is a variety originated in the very high, 
mountainous sections of India. It has proved, under 
Northwestern and Great Plains conditions, to be the 
hardiest, most drouth resistant and heaviest yield¬ 
ing variety so far known. In addition it has con¬ 
siderable wilt resistance. The supply is very lim¬ 
ited. 
BLUE TAG CERTIFIED. We refer you to ar¬ 
ticles in the Country Gentlemen and other agricul¬ 
tural publications for further information. A very 
short crop due to the drouth. Price, 1 lb., postpaid,

@ 75c. 
REGISTERED AND CERTIFIED GRIMM. 
Officially sealed and tagged 
This is officially registered and certified seed from 
fields of Grimm which have been officially inspected 
and the seed officially graded, and whose pedigree is 
on file with a history of the field in the office of state 
authorities. Grimm still remains the favorite for 
hardiness and yield. If you wish to sell your seed 
at a premium, plant this seed. Blue tag lb., 50c, post¬ 
paid. F. O. B. here, 10 lbs., $3.90; 50 lbs., $17.50; 100 
lbs., $35.00. 
NORTH WE STERN 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. Lb., 
40c, postpaid. F. O. B. here, 10 lbs., $3.50; 50 lbs., 
$15.00; 100 lbs., $29.00. 
NORTHWESTERN, SECOND GRADE. This is seed 
of less handsome appearance and not as high 
purity and germination as the best, but very satis¬ 
factory if seeded a little heavier. Supply limited. 
F. O. B. hero, 10O lbs., $18.00. 
NORTHWESTERN GROWN VARIEGATED AL¬ 
FALFA. The fact has become pretty well estab¬ 
lished that only the strains of alfalfa with varie¬ 
gated flowers are hardy in the Northwest. Such 
strains are Grimm, Liscomb, Cossack, Baltic, etc. 
The seed which we offer under this head is seed 
from fields with variegated bloom but for which 
the grower has no pedigree. The mere fact of 
hardiness and variegated blossom proves that it 
belongs to one of the hardy strains. Lb., 40c, post¬ 
paid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $3.40; 50 lbs., 
$14.50; 100 lbs., $28.00. 
REGISTERED COSSACK. This is an exceptionally 
hardy alfalfa brought from Siberia by Professor 
Hansen. It is a heavy yielder as well as being 
very cold and drought resistant. Very similar 
to Grimm in all respects as shown by our manv . 
years’ trial. We are informed by ranchers of the 
Little Missouri Bad Lands that the Cossack is 
preferable to Grimm and a better yielder on the 
heavy clay or gumbo soil of that region. Each 
lot is lettered. Blue tug seed, lb., 55c. postpaid. 
F. O. B. here, 10 lbs., $4.00; 50 lbs., $18.00; 100 lbs., 
$36.00. 
AFFIDAVIT COSSACK ALFALFA. This is high 
quality seed from unregistered fields, but genuine 
Cossack and satisfactory for all purposes unless 
you wish to sell registered seed. Lb., 45c, post¬ 
paid. F. O. B. here, 10 lbs., $3.75; 50 lbs., $10.50; 
100 lbs., $32.00. 
Sweet Clover—for Pasture—Hay—Bees 
Free Sweet Clover Booklet furnished on request. 
ALPHA SWEET CLOVER—With the Good Qualities 
of Alfalfa. Another product of the Saskatchewan 
Experiment Station. Seems to combine the char¬ 
acteristics of both alfalfa and sweet clover, has 
many fine stems, is ver.y leafy, more palatable 
than sweet clover. Probably an alfalfa-sweet 
clover cross. Postpaid, lb., 40c. F. O. B. Bismarck, 
5 lbs., $1.40; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $23.00. 
MIXED SWEET CLOVER SEED. For sowing on 
land where a catch is desired without breaking 
and cultivating, for scattering on old pastures and 
waste lands this mixed seed may be used to ad¬ 
vantage and with considerable saving. Prices, 
F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.30; 100 lbs., $11.00. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM SAVEET CLOVER SEED. Out¬ 
side the lower and heavier soil sections of the 
Northwest the Yellow Blossom variety seems to 
be better adapted than the white. Its advantages 
over the higher and drier sections are greater 
hardiness as regards a combination of cold and 
drought, finer quality of hay, a crown like alfalfa 
so that it may be cut as close to the ground as 
one wishes. We have a wonderfully fine stock of 
seed. Lb., 25c, postpaid. F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., 
$1.50; 100 lbs., $15.00. 
WHITE BLOSSOM BIENNIAL. The Tall, Late Sort 
that is in greatest demand if you wish to sell seed. 
This is the only kind used in Iowa and Illinois 
where 90 per cent of the seed from the Northwest 
is sold. Must be cut high for hay as it grows from 
the bases of the branches. 1 lb., 25c, postpaid. 
F. O. B. Bismarck, 10 lbs., $1.40; 100 lbs., $13.00.
