U. S. Verified Origin Alfalfa Seed 
U. S. VJERIFIEI) ORIGIN ALFALFA SEED. Bought and sold under 
the jurisdiction of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture. Our Mile High grade 
will test 99% purity of better; Mountaineer 97.50% or better. Other 
grades are good values. 
COMMON ALFALFA. Deep-rooted. Excellent for hay; but must have 
a deep soil, free from shale, and a water table at least 5 to 6 feet from 
the surface. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. Has a spreading root and lives from surface soil; 
better than Common for shallow, shale underlined soils, or high water 
tables, and will stand more severe freezing. Excellent hay. On Affi¬ 
davit Grimm we hold grower’s affidavit. Registered seed has had 
field inspection by a representative of the State Agronomy Depart¬ 
ment. The cleaned seed has been tested by them, and tags furnishd 
for each bag show the purity and germination guaranteed by the state. 
MEEKER B.VLTIC. A dis¬ 
tinct variety, same root 
system as the Grimm. Orig¬ 
inated at Meeker, Colorado, 
on dry land, at a very high 
altitude. Hardiest of all. 
Very leafy and makes fine¬ 
stemmed hay. 
Western Colorado, Mountain Grown Clovers 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. Commonly used for hay. Grows to a height 
of 18 in. and produces a leafy hay. High in protein, desirable for milk 
cows. Excellent hay and pasture; also a great soil builder. 
MAM3IOTH RED CLOVER. Larger than Medium Red. Used for hay, 
but is especially recommended as a soil builder. 
ALSIKE or SWEDISH CLOVER. Thrives on wet, poorly drained 
soils. Very leafy and fine-stemmed hay. Often sown with Timothy. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER. Chiefly a lawn clover, but sometimes used 
for pasture. 4-5 in. high. 
SWEET CLOVER, WHITE BLOSSOM (Biennial). Used moatty for 
soil building. Grows to 5 or 6 feet; very coarse and fibry. Often sown 
with spring grain and plowed under in late fall or following spring. 
YELLOAV BLOSSOM (Biennial). Leafier and finer-stemmed for pas¬ 
ture or hay. Frequently chosen in preference to the White Blossom, 
even for soil building purposes. 
HUBAM (Annual). Very similar to the White Blossom, but it seeds 
the first year. Much more expensive than the biennial varieties. 
Grasses 
ORCH.\RD GRASS. Heavy yielder of hay and excellent pasture grass. 
Perennial; will produce for years. Sown with alfalfa, it increases the 
tonnage .and feeding value. 
MEADOW FESCUE or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS. Very hardy, drought 
resisting. Good hay., excellent pasture. Also makes a nice lawn 
grass where moisture is limited or for hard usage. 
TIMOTHY. Well known hay and pasture grass. Stands considerable 
drought and does well on damp soils. The hay is greatly relished, par¬ 
ticularly by horses. 
ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY MIXTURE. As these are very often used as 
a mixture, we offer them mixed. Our Mile High mixture has approx¬ 
imately 20% Alsike, 80% Timothy; the Mountaineer mixture, 14% 
Alsike, 86% Timothy. 
BROME GRASS. Resistant to drought. Heavy yielder of excellent 
hay and pasture. 
WESTERN RYE or SLENDER WHEAT GRASS. Good alkali grass, 
as it will thrive on soils containing considerable alkali. A bunch 
grass; a native of the western prairies where rainfall is very limited. 
CRESTED "WHEAT GRASS. Very similar to Western Rye Grass, but 
is much more desirable for hay and states earlier in the spring, pro¬ 
ducing an excellent pasture. Highly recommended by experimental 
colleges as having all the desirable features of Western Rye Grass, 
being also alkali resistant. 
SUDAN GRASS (Annual). Produces two or three cuttings a year of 
coarse, leafy hay; wonderful pasture. It can be planted early, or will 
produce at least one crop planted as late as July 10th. Frost kills it 
entirely. 
Pasture Mixtures 
MORTON’S SPECIAL. Formula by Prof. Morton of the Agricultural 
College. Has proved one of the best all-year-round mixtures for irri¬ 
gated ground or where rainfall is quite heavy. The original mixture 
contains Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover; we can also furnish it without. 
We Make Special Mixtiire.s for extreme high altitudes and light soils. 
Write us, telling us your special growing conditions, and we will be 
glad to suggest a formula suited to your individual needs.

ing. Variegated seed.

ranchers. Straw makes excellent hay.

A very important crop. The beans add protein to mixed feed. Also valu¬ 
able for hay and fertilizer. The yellow bans make the best hay; the black 
beans are used principally for feed or oil. Plant 30 to 50 lbs. per acre.
