W© list only such varieties of al¬ 
falfa as are known to be good pro¬ 
ducers, and we recommend our 
HARDI-KAN brand, in sealed bags, 
as the best your money can buy. 
Try it this year. You’ll be well 
pleased when you examine the seed 
we send you, and better pleased 
when the growing season is over, 
and it has produced the growth you 
desired. 
Common Alfalfa 
The Hardy Northwestern and 
Kansas grown seeds are the prin¬ 
cipal varieties and most generally 
used. They are both extra hardy 
types and most suitable for any lo¬ 
cality. In some sections these va¬ 
rieties will do as well as the Grimm. 
CLIMATE IS THE MOST IM¬ 
PORTANT FACTOR: In the case 
of certain crops, especially alfalfa, 
claims have been made that seed 
produced on so-called dry land is 
hardier than seed grown on irri¬ 
gated land. The trials of the U. S. 
Dept, of Agriculture indicate that 
there is very little, if any differ¬ 
ence, seed from irrigated land pro¬ 
ducing fully as well as seed from 
dry land. Pedigree and climate are 
the only important factors in pro¬ 
ducing seed hardiness. 
Dakota No. 12 
This is considered to be a very 
hardy type of alfalfa; however, we 
believe that our Northwestern com¬ 
mon is fully equal to it in hardiness 
and it can be bought at a much 
lower price. Dakota No. 12 derives 
its name from seed that comes from 
fields that have grown in the Da¬ 
kotas for 12 years or more. There 
is no difference in the type be¬ 
tween the Dakota No. 12 and our 
common Northwestern grown. 
About the only difference is the va¬ 
riation in price. If you want a har¬ 
dier type than the common, we 
would only recommend the Grimm. 
The cost would be about the same 
as it requires less seed to sow an 
acre.

This is a photo of my forty 
acres of alfalfa. I purchased 
the seed from you and this field 
is now five years old.

I have used your alfalfa and 
timothy seed for several years 
and they have always been sat¬

Dear Sirs: I am in receipt of 
your letter of the 7th. In reply 
will say that the seed that I 
bought from you in the last four 
seasons, Alfalfa, Milo Maize, 
Red Kaffir, have all been very 
good, well cleaned and grew 
well. The Red Kaffir this year 
made a wonderful crop.
