ALFALFA and CLOVER SEEDS 
ALFALFA SEED 
LADAK ALFALFA. This comparatively new variety gives prom- 
ise of becoming popular and rightly so for it has developed 
that Ladak is ideally adapted to dry soils which cannot suc- 
cessfully grow the more common varieties. Ladak Alfalfa will 
produce one heavy crop on dry soils, after which, in case the 
moisture is not sufficient to continue its growth, it will sur- 
vive through the season to come again after winter rains have 
revived it. Other varieties of alfalfa will almost completely 
die out but not so with Ladak. It may appear completely 
dead, but will come again, when fall rains bring moisture. 
Ladak is likewise strongly resistant to freezing. In many 
tests Ladak has proved superior to all others for the cold 
and dry conditions found in the northern Great Plains areas 
and it has also given good results under irrigation in the 
Northwest. If you desire further information on Ladak alfalfa 
write us for descriptive bulletin. Lb. 75c, postpaid. Write for 
quantity prices. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. The hardiest of all alfalfa and will stand 
the severest winters of our mountain sections. It has a 
branching root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the 
soil and prevents heaving by frequent freezing and thaws, 
and also adapts it to shallower soils. If your soil has a hard- 
pan near the surface, or if your farm is in the mountain sec- 
tion, it will pay you to give Grimm the preference. Being 
short rooted, Grimm will thrive on soils where the water table 
is close to the surface. Grimm is very leafy and fine stemmed 
and is preferred by most hay buyers. Sow Grimm 8 pounds per 
acre after frost danger is over. Fertilize with Soil Sulphur or 
Superphosphate for bumper crops the first season. We handle 
only State Sealed and Certified Grimm seed. Lb. 60c; 10 
Ibs. $5.00, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
~ COMMON or CHILEAN ALFALFA. This is the popular long- 
rooted variety so universally grown. Best adapted to deep 
soils. We handle only the hardiest types of Chilean, select- 
ing our seed from growing districts which produce seed of 
‘true type. Our mountain grown seed will produce stands of 
longer duration and prove more profitable to plant. Lb. 35c; 
10 Ibs. $3.00, postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
CLOVERS 
RED CLOVER. The standard clover for all purposes. Makes an 
excellent hay when mixed with timothy. Succeeds well on 
most any soil. Inoculate seed before planting and you'll be 
sure to get a stand. Lb. 35c; 10 Ibs. $3.00, postpaid. Write 
for quantity prices. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. This is a perennial adapted for hay or pasture. 
A valuable crop for bee pasture. Does well either on poor dry 
soils or in wet rich soil. Being finer, brighter and not so dusty. 
Alsike hay is preferred to Red Clover. Inoculate all clovers 
and be sure to get a stand. Lb. 30c; 10 Ibs. $2.50, postpaid.

WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. Sweet clover is one of the 
most important soil improving crops. Withstands adverse con-. 
ditions of soil and weather better than alfalfa and red clover. 
Does not winterkill. Produces more on this land than alfalfa 
and red clover and is equal to alfalfa and red clover in 
nutritive value. Sow it for hay, pasturage and soil improve- 
_ ment. Sow it for pasturing hogs and cattle—they all like it. 
Sow it on lands too poor, too worn out, too sandy for other 
crops and bring the land into condition to produce profit- 
able crops. You can sow it on your fall-sown grain without 
preparation, except harrowing. Make the seedbed fine and 
compact and cover the seed lightly. Inoculate with Nitragin, 
listed below. Plant 20 pounds to the acre from February to 
March. We offer only scarified, hulled, fancy seed, free of 
- dodder, of high purity and germination. Scarifying raises the 
germination percentage, which is very low on untreated seed. 
Prices postpaid: Lb. 25c; 10 Ibs. $2.25. Write for quantity

LADINO CLOVER 
The Greatest Pasture Clover Grown 
LADINO CLOVER will pasture more cattle and hogs than any 
other clover. Ladino is a perennial white clover that grows 
from 12 to 18 inches tall, producing a most palatable forage 
for cattle, sheep and hogs. Ladino increases milk flow, im- 
proves soil, will thrive on shallow moist soils and is the first 
clover to awaken in the spring and the last plant to quit in 
the fall. Ladino clover should be sown in the spring for best 
results. Prepare the soil early and have it in readiness for 
sowing. The application of superphosphate or sulphur to the 
soil will quicken the young growth and promote a heavier 
and sturdier stand. Sow 6 pounds of seed per acre, harrowing 
in lightly. It is not necessary to grow a nurse crop with 
Ladino, although many growers plant Rye Grass, Orchard 
Grass or Fescue with the Ladino, claiming that it will prevent 
bloating. We believe this is a good practice. Prices: Blue Tag 
Certified seed, $1.25 per Ilb.; Red Tag Certified seed, $1.00 
per Ib.; Pasture Grade seed (contains some alsike and white 
Dutch clover, which is not objectionable for pasture pur- 
poses), 75c per lb. Prices postpaid. Write for quantity prices.
