A Big Yield of Grimm Alfalfa 
Alfalfa and Clovers 
The acreage seeded to Alfalfa in Michigan is increasing every year. 
All of our seed is northern grown, therefore, it is best adapted to our 
climate. 
GRIMM ALFALFA was brought to the United States by a Mr. Grimm. 
He settled in Minnesota, and the seed was sown and 
produced exceptionally hardy plants, and when it was eventually recog- 
nized as a superior strain, it became known as Grimm Alfalfa. From its 
adopted home it rapidly spread over the Northwest, and its superiority 
is now so generally proven that it is rapidly superseding the Common 
Alfalfa. We have never known a failure in Michigan of true Grimm. 
Our Grimm Alfalfa, which is scarified seed, is grown by reputable or- 
ganizations, and certified by the proper State officers in the state where 
grown, and guaranteed by them. Write for prices.
