Alsike Clover 
Alsike Clover Is increasing in popularity very rapidly. 
It makes the best combination with Red Clover and 
timothy, either for hay or pasture, and grows well on 
high as well as on low, wet soils. It is especially adapted 
to wet soils and also on soils that are too low in humus 
to grow Clover. When sown with other grasses it 
forms a thick bottom and greatly increases the yield, 
and the quality of the hay is better. When well cured 
there is no hay more greatly relished by stock of all 
kinds. Mixed with Clover and timothy it affords one 
of the best forage rations, and the three are grown 
successfully together, the hay from such a mixture 
being better than either of them alone. The seed 
is smaller than the red Clover, therefore does not 
require as much seed per acre. Alsike is hardier than 
Medium, or Mammoth Clover, but lodges more than 
either, and for this reason it is better to sow it with 
Clover and timothy. If sown alone, sow 8 to 10pounds 
per acre. Alsike is a perennial, and because of this 
characteristic is especially valuable for growing on 
land where one wishes to secure a permanent pasture 
or meadow. See Price-List. 
White Clover 
A perennial of creeping nature and used mostly in 
lawn mixtures, although it is a valuable addition to 
pasture mixtures, using 1 to 3 pounds per acre. Adapted 
to low meadows where not too wet. On lowlands 
suited to its growth it will last indefinitely; although 
it may be crowded out by other grasses certain seasons, 
it will reappear the next. Invaluable in lawn mixture, 
giving a rich green to the lawn and holding its color 
with the grasses till after freezing. See Price-List. 
Korean Lespedeza 
The earliest of all varieties and therefore recom¬ 
mended in the northern states and high altitudes. 
Produces more hay and more seed than any other 
variety. Grows well in the South but does not produce 
late pasture. Will produce a crop on acid soils where 
red clover and alfalfa will not give profitable crop. 
Sow after May 1 in the North. Break or disc soil 
very shallow, drag smooth, sow seed with any good 
seeder right on the top, then dragroll or roll. Sow 
25 pounds per acre. 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 Northwestern-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. 
Grimm Alfalfa 
Grower's Affidavit 
U. S. Government Verified Seed 
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 Northwest, where the 
winters are severe and the ground freezes 8 feet or 
more. Alfalfa raised under these conditions must 
be of the hardiest strains, and will stand the most 
trying conditions. We have again secured a very 
choice lot of Genuine Northern-grown Alfalfa, 
fully matured, as pure as is possible to grow. High 
in germination, full of seed life, plump and at¬ 
tractive. You can sow no seed that will give better 
results than our Northern-grown Seed. See Price-List.

Northwest Alfalfa 
U. S. Government Verified Seed 
Alfalfa should be sown on every farm as it now holds 
an important place in agriculture, especially 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 farmer’s Government bond. He clips off the green coupons 
three or four times, and leaves the original bond intact, indestructible, 
prolific, the prosperity of any community. It is the symbol of high 
social and intellectual culture. In communities interspersed with green 
fields of alfalfa, we find pure-bred 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. 
An affidavit is furnished by the grower that it is 
genuine Grimm Alfalfa. Put up in bushel bags and 
is Government Verified seed. This seed is 99.50 per 
cent pure and is grown in the Northwest. Equally 
as high in purity and germination tests as the Certified 
Grimm and sells for less money. See Price-List.
