Northwest Alfalfa 
U. S. GOVERNMENT VERIFIED 
Alfalfa should be sown on every farm, and now 
holds an important place in agriculture, espe¬ 
cially in sections where dairying is carried on. 
Adaptable to every State in the Union. Most 
failures are traceable to low grade or Southern 
seed. One thing is absolutely essential—begin 
right. Be sure you use only Northern Grown 
Seed that will stand the winters. 
After Alfalfa is once established it lasts for 
several years, yielding three to four cuttings every 
season of the most excellent and nutritious hay, 
which is readily salable at top prices. We highly 
recommend Northern Grown Seed, having found 
it more dependable than Western or Southern 
Grown Seed. It would hardly be possible to say 
too much about Alfalfa; it is a working plant 
which is changing the destiny of many farming 
sections. 
Alfalfa is the farmers’ government bond. He 
clips off the green coupons three or four times, 
and leaves the original bond intact, indestructi¬ 
ble, prolific, the prosperity of any community. It 
is the symbol of high social and intellectual cul¬ 
ture. In communities interspersed with green 
fields of alfalfa, we find purebred stock and well 
fenced farms with comfortable and beautiful 
farm buildings. 
Alfalfa should be grown on every farm. It 
surpasses all other crops in yield, in feeding value, 
as a drought resister and as a builder of the soil. 
It enhances the value of every farm. 
Selection of Seed Very Important 
It is very important to use Alfalfa that is of a 
hardy strain. There is no better proof that a 
strain is hardy than that it is grown in the North¬ 
west, where the winters are severe and the ground 
freezes eight feet or more. 
Alfalfa raised under these 
conditions must be of the 
hardiest strains, and will 
stand the most trying con¬ 
ditions. We have again 
secured a very choice lot of Genuine Northern 
Grown Alfalfa, fully matured, as pure as is pos¬ 
sible to grow. High in germination, full of seed 
life, plump and attractive. You can sow no seed 
that will give better results than our Northern 
Grown Seed, See price list. 
Grimm Alfalfa 
STATE SEALED AND CERTIFIED 
Grimm Alfalfa has gained a wide reputation on 
account of its productiveness, and extra hardiness, 
for it survived winters that killed out many fields 
of other varieties of Alfalfa. Grimm Alfalfa was 
selected from the hardiest plants year after year 
until it became a fixed type of extreme hardiness 
and vigor. It differs somewhat from the other 
varieties in the crown of the plant, being receding, 
and is therefore protected by the surface of the 
soil. The roots are also fibrous instead of having 
only long tap root. 
The seed is Northwest grown, and Sealed and 
Certified by U. S. Department of Agriculture. Plants 
grown from this seed will endure extreme cold 
and withstand excessive heat. See price list.

fied Grimm and sells for less money. See Price list.
