ALFALFA 
Selection of Alfalfa Seed Is Most Important 
Poor seed is a primary and great cause of a poor stand. 
In buying Alfalfa Seed the highest priced seed is often 
the cheapest. The loss is much greater in using seed 
of poor quality, than the difference in cost of the seed. 
This loss comes from the labor thrown away, the stands 
lost and yields sacrificed by its use, as well as the final 
expense in getting rid of the weed seeds introduced. 
Inoculation is necessary. Inoculation means putting 
or planting in the soil, nitrogen-fixing germs or bacteria 
without which the Alfalfa cannot flourish—this in spite 
of soil having had previously, inoculated crops. 
Gould's Reliable Grimm Alfalfa 
Grimm is undoubtedly the variety best adapted to our 
Northwestern climate. Grimm Alfalfa has the hardiness 
to withstand our northern winters, and is recommended 
by leading authorities and experiment stations as being 
the one to plant. Although the cost of the seed is gen¬ 
erally much higher than that of ordinary Alfalfa, we 
consider it the cheapest in the end. See our Special Field 
Seed price list for prices. 
Minn. Variesatcd Alfalfa

fine strain of Alfalfa and can be grown with absolute 
certainty of its being hardy and sure to produce an 
abundant crop the second year from planting. Prices 
are listed on Special Yellow price list.

Inoculate Your Legumes with NITRAGIN 
Inoculate your Legume seeds even tho planted on 
fields that have been inoculated before. Field tests 
have shown that better crops are harvested when 
Legume seeds are inoculated even when planted on 
fields where inoculated seeds of the same Legume 
crops had grown the previous year. 
INOCULATE WITH NITRAGIN 
NITRAGIN is an approved, moist humus culture—• 
tested and guaranteed — easy to apply — packed with 
Billions of fresh bacteria — the cheapest legume crop

CLOVER SEED 
Medium Red Clover 
This is the recognized standard of the clover family. 
It produces two crops each year. The first is generally 
harvested for hay when in full bloom. The second crop 
may be harvested for seed, cut for hay, or plowed under 
for fertilizer. Refer to Special list for prices. 
Alsike or Swedish Clover 
One of the hardiest varieties known. It is perennial 
and does not winterkill. It will do better on moist land 
than any other variety of clover, and is suitable for 
either hay or pasture. When sown with other grasses, 
it forms a thick undergrowth and greatly increases the 
yield. It is frequently sown both with medium Red 
Clover and with Timothy, and the quality of hay thus 
produced is excellent. It is fine stemmed and leafy and 
quickly cured. It makes a very profitable seed crop in 
many sections of the Northwest. See Special price li*t 
for prices. 
Mammoth Red Clover 
This variety is grown mostly for pasture and for soil¬ 
ing. It is a very vigorous grower, but is not desirable 
for hay unless cut when quite young. Prices quoted on 
Special price list. 
White or Dutch Clover 
A low close growing clover, with round white heads. 
Very fragrant and desirable for beautifying the lawn. 
It will stand close cutting and very rapidly throws up 
an abundance of leaves and blossoms. It is usually bet¬ 
ter to sow with other grasses. Does well on most any 
soil. Prices given on Special list. 
Sweet Clover, White Blossom 
This variety is the one most generally referred to when 
sweet clover is mentioned. It makes the most abundant 
growth of any of the clovers. Because of its dense 
growth and enormous root system, it is a very valuable 
soil improving crop. While it is a biennial and normally 
only grows for two years it will generally reseed itself 
if allowed to grow to maturity. Ohio Extension Bulletin 
No. 55 says that an acre of sweet clover will add as much 
nitrogen to the soil as 20 tons of manure. See Special 
Field Seed price" lint for prices. 
Sweet Clover, Yellow Blossom 
This variety grows finer and more spreading than the 
white and is not so tall. It matures more quickly than 
the White Blossom and for a second season the hay crop 
is probably preferable to White Sweet Clover because of 
its finer stems. Refer to Yellow price list for prices. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
An excellent, hardy, perennial grass especially adapted 
to low lands where other grasses will not thrive. Will 
produce two crops a year after the first year. The hay 
is as good as Timothy and is relished by horses and 
cattle. Sow 4 to 6 pounds to the acre broadcast or 2 to 3 
pounds with drill. See Yellow list for prices. 
GRASSES 
Kentucky Blue Grass 
Will outlive any other grasses for pasture or lawn, but 
should not be cut or pastured too closely in extremely 
hot, dry weather. The seed is very slow in germinating, 
therefore, it is advisable to plant with other varieties of 
quicker growing habits. Makes a sweet and nutritious 
pasture for all stock. See Special list for prices. 
Rye Grass 
Is a very quick growing grass and for that reason makes 
an excellent pasture. It thrives on rich, moist land, 
where from three to four cuttings may be made in a 
season. Grows very quickly and will stand close pastur¬ 
age. See Special Field Seed price list for prices. 
Red Top 
As a hay crop Red Top is next to Timothy in importance. 
It will do the best on rather moist soil, but will thrive 
on most any soil. It is a good variety to sow with Tim¬ 
othy or Clover for meadow or pasture, and is more par- 
manent than either of the other two. Prices quoted on 
Special Yellow price list. 
Meadow Fescue 
Especially suited for pasture and is also fine for hay. 
Succeeds even in poor soil and will endure severe freez¬ 
ing. The hay is very nutritious and cattle thrive on it 
whether it is dry or green. Prices quoted on Special 
Fielil Seed price list. 
Orchard Grass 
is an early fibrous rooted perennial. Its rapid growth 
makes it very desirable for pasture. Withstands droughts 
better than most grasses. Will thrive in the shade such 
as in orchards and lanes. When closely cropped it grows 
up quickly, and is ready for grazing again in 10 to 12 
days. See Special list for prices.
