GRIMM 



























By the time this catalog is distributed most 
farmers will know that Alfalfa seed is a very very 
scarce article this year. The production of Grimm 
Alfalfa seed is short and State Certified seed is 
almost impossible to obtain. Through one of our 
western buying connections we were fortunate in 
obtaining about half a car load of genuine State 
Certified seed. We will sell this first come first 
served as long as it lasts. 
Grimm Alfalfa seed is noted for its qualities of 
extra winter hardiness and is recommended for 
sowing wherever soil or weather conditions are 
liable to cause excess winter killing. This seed of 
ours is of central origin and such stock is often 
field inspections and the seed from these fields is 
ing genuine Grimm, 
any profit for actually it shows us a net loss. 
Hardiest of All Alfalfas 



















Northern Origin Seed 
State Certified Cossack is sown, grown, 
harvested, cleaned, sealed and tagged un- 
der state supervision as explained for 
Grimm above. Our Certified seed is of 
“Northern” origin which is considered. by 
authorities the most hardy of all origins. 
You would get nothing more rugged in 
character or finer in quality for this is the 
“Blue Tag’? grade which represents State 
Certified seed at its very 
best.

Dear Sirs: I have been getting 
my seeds from you for twelve years. 
I get the kind of seéds I want and save 
money. The Grimm Alfalfa I sowed in 1930 gave 
me three cuttings of fine hay this year. 

Yours truly,
