Red Clover 
ALFALFA SEED 
There are three essentials for growing 
Alfalfa—first, good seed bed; second, soil 
must not be sour; third, good seed. 
ADVANTAGES —For a general purpose 
forage crop. Alfalfa has no superior, in this 
country. For hay it is unsurpassed. For 
pasture it has a large carrying capacity of 
both cattle and hogs. As a soiling crop it 
can be managed to yield heavy dividends. 
As a soil builder it enriches the land by 
bringing nitrogen into the soil. 
KANSAS GROWN —On the great prairies 
of Kansas is produced a hardy, dry land 
strain which has given satisfaction under 
the rigorous winters of Wisconsin, New 
York and other northern states. Kansas 
Alfalfa is widely known for its hardiness, 
productiveness, high purity and strong 
germination. 
NEBRASKA GROWN —Grown on the dry 
land in Nebraska, a very hardy origin and 
is used in practically all sections where 
Kansas grown is accepted. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
GRIMM ALFALFA —Commonly used in 
Kansas, as some growers claim the hay will 
be not quite as course. However, yields 
may be slightly less per acre than Kansas 
Common. 
NORTHWESTERN GROWN— This seed 
grown in the high altitude mountain valleys 
of the Northwest, is inured to icy winter 
blasts. The temperature ofttimes touches 
25 below zero. Both soil and climate are 
fitted to produce in large quantities a 
hardy, prolific, heavy hay-yielding strain of 
plump, fine seed. Our seed grown in the 
heart of this producing section, insures the 
pure article refined to the highest purity. 
CLOVERS 
RED CLOVER —The most important of 
all forage plants. Where Red Clover can 
be successfully grown it takes the lead 
over all other forage crops. 
IMPORTED RED CLOVER— Will be used 
to a great extent this year on account of 
the extremely high price of domestic seed. 
Imported seed will be about $6.00 per 
bushel less, is grown in a latitude farther 
north than this territory, and contains no 
more noxious weeds than our own domestic 
clover. 
YELLOW AND WHITE 
BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER 
SWEET CLOVER —Is becoming more 
popular in this territory each year for pas¬ 
ture and hay, also as a soil builder. White 
Blossom grows taller and stalks a little 
more coarse. Yellow Blossom commonly 
used for hay, and about two weeks earlier. 
ALSIKE —A very hardy and vigorous 
sort which does well on all soils, but par¬ 
ticularly on those inclined to be wet and 
sandy. 
MAMMOTH CLOVER— Grows four to 
six feet high. The variety best adapted for 
plowing under as green manure on account 
of the enormous mass of tops and roots 
which it produces. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA —Is grown most 
anywhere, even on acid soil, waste or worn 
out land, and bare hillsides. All that is nec¬ 
essary is to scratch the soil with a harrow 
and sow the seed, some even broadcast it 
without soil preparation. It withstands 
droughts. It stands heavy grazing and 
largely increases the grazing capacity of 
pastures. In feeding value it is nearly as 
good as alfalfa—stock relish it. Sow in the 
spring, about 20 pounds to the acre.
