MONTANA GRIMM ALFALFA 
While the crop of Montana Grimm is like all other origins, very short, we are glad to say 
we are fortunate again to be in a position to furnish you some of this hardy northern grown 
seed. Alfalfa seed coming from Montana must necessarily be of a very hardy origin. The 
majority of the alfalfa shows the effects of heavy rainfall which destroyed millions of pounds 
of seed. For price see price list enclosed. 
CERTIFIED UTAH BLUE TAG GRIMM 
Fine grade of seed where genuine Grimm is needed to stand hard conditions. Stocks of 
Blue Tag is limited and we offer subject to stock on hand. Do not pass up sowing alfalfa on 
account of high price. Milk, cream, cheese, pork and beef are all higher and good alfalfa will 
help produce these at lower cost than other feeds. 
| MONTANA COMMON 
These are selected lots which came out of the northern part of Montana and which no doubt 
are either Grimm or Cossack or would never have stood the rigorous climate in which it is 
produced. Some of these fields were seeded so long ago that growers do not know whether it 
is Cossack or Grimm variety. Not registered or certified, so sold as common alfalfa. For 
price see price list enclosed. 
COSSACK ALFALFA 
This was found growing wild in the highest plateaus of Siberia under the most vigorous cli- 
matic conditions, varying from 40° below in the winter to 110° above in the summer, with a 
rain fall of only about 8 inches. The first seed of this variety was brought to America by Dr. 
Hansen of the United States Department of Agriculture many years ago. Its first home was 
in Western South Dakota, and many of the fields of Cossack seeded in South Dakota and 
Montana have been in production from 25 to 30 years. 
Its crown and root growth is very similar to Grimm but is superior to Grimm in winter 
hardiness and wilt resistance. Most of the alfalfa throughout the middle west is destroyed 
by bacterial wilt. The-fields start to turn yellow, and some people think it is caused by not 
enough lime while others think it is just a matter of the field running out; but the whole 
thing is bacterial wilt is working on it and it will be only a year or two before the field will 
be ruined. 
Very fine stemmed and has more leaves than other varieties of Alfalfa. All United States 
Verified Origin. For prices see price list enclosed. 
SOUTH DAKOTA NO. 12 
_ This is one of the oldest and hardiest varities ever produced—a variety of which we never 
have had enough to run us through the season and our supply this year is extremely short. 
To trace its ancestors, the original fields were planted by the Pioneers from 40 to 50 years 
ago, some of which are still producing. Its hardy characteristics have been developed by 
seasons of drouth and extremely low temperatures of from 35° below to 105° in the summer, 
on ground where irrigation is unknown. This variety is surely a ‘survival of the fittest.’ 
Has very heavy top growth, very heavy producer and second only to Cossack in yield, winter 
hardiness and wilt resistance. All United States Verified Origin. For prices see price list 
enclosed. . 
HARDY NORTHWESTERN ALFALFA 
This may come from Montana, North Dakota or northern Nebraska. For a good many 
years have bught some very fine seed out of northern Nebraska which has done exception- 
ally well. For price see price list enclosed.
