GRADES OF CLOVERS, ALFALFA, TIMOTHY, ETC. 
In grading seed we get several grades, some of which we do not offer for sale. Most of 
our machines make three to six grades. Some of these grades are discarded altogether. 
K. B., stands for Kelly’s Best grade, which is always the best of the crop, usually 99:50 or 
better pure, plump berry and the best color seed. Often reclean this grade to 99:75 to 99:90 
purity. If we buy a carload of seed from the producing sections which shows a 99:50 purity, 
we rur it over our mills again no matter how high the purity is. By so aa we know 
exactly what the entire carload is. 
“FV.” stands for Full Value grade, which is our second grade seed and is about equal to 
the average seed offered for sale. Purity usually 98% to 99%. Will show a few more brown 
seed and some smaller berries, but is real good seed. 
“G. V.” stands for Good Value, which is just what the words “good value” really signifies. 
Good value for the money. Color not as bright and grains somewhat smaller. The germina- 
tion is some lower. Purity 95% to 98%. Well recleaned and very few weeds and will pass all 
State seed laws. 

HARDY NORTHWESTERN ALFALFA 
Most of our supply this year came from Nebraska. Kansas and Oklahoma produced 
about as much seed as all the other alfalfa producing states combined, but we do not sell 
any Oklahoma and very little Kansas, preferring to buy seed produced farther north. Most 
of this Kansas and Oklahoma seed was used up in last falls seedings, which leaves very 
little alfalfa of any origin to be had and we wonder where. the supply will come from for 
July and August seedings. 
For many years we bought thousands of bushels of good alfalfa seed from Nebraska, 
which, in the central corn belt has done exceptionally well. This seed is free of noxious 
weeds, hardy and produces a good quality of hay. All U.S. verified origin. For price see 
price list enclosed. 
MONTANA GRIMM 
Grimm alfalfa has always been one of our specialties, Sorry this year the early freezes 
ruined most all this good hardy seed. Much of the seed which is being offered is very 
poor color and germination. We are unable to accept any orders for Montana Grimm this 
year. 
DAKOTA NO. 12 
A very hardy variety of alfalfa, even hardier than grimm, in fact, rates second only to 
Cossack. Have never had, in all the 35 years we have been in the seed business enough 
Dakota No, 12 to last through the season and this year will be no exception. Most all the | 
supply of Dakota No, 12 comes from the northern sections where the. crop was ruined by 
early freezes. Produces an abundance of fine quality hay. Supply limited. For price see 
price list enclosed. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan grass seed is another short seed crop. Prices are some higher than last year, 
but a small field of sudan grass will furnish-an abundance of feed and make a pasture ina 
very short time. Best to wait until the ground warms up, as sudan belongs to the cane 
family, is a hot weather plant and the seed will not germinate unless the soil is thoroughly 
warm. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre and in sixty days you will have a good pasture. Sudan 
seeded in cow peas or soy beans for hay, helps make a heavier tonnage and improves the 
quality of hay by furnishing sugar to the feed. Price: 25 to 100 pounds . ... $ .09 lb. 
100 pounds or more.... .08 lb.
