you Grimm Certified Alfalfa seed—field inspected, certified by the 
State Authorities and every bag sealed at cleaning. It is claimed that 
Grimm will thus outlast other strains. Write for price list. ;

planting Holmes’ Grimm Seed. Make sure the seed bed is well 
prepared and has enough lime. Write for price list. :

you are after. It’s the stand, vigorous, long-growing, and weed-free— 
that’s what you want, and really, this wonderful Holmes’ seed costs 
you only a few cents more per acre than most of the other seed you

many times by sowing Holmes’ “Northwest” seed. Write for price list.

RED CLOVER. There is dependable and undesirable clover seed grown 
in these United States, just as in other parts of the world. To buy

« tag showing exactly what state produced the seed. You get only 
quality seed when you buy Holmes’ Seed. You don’t get a lot of 
weeds that you won’t want. Our farmer customers come back to us

2 to 6 lbs. per acre. (60 lbs. per bu.). Write for price list. 
ALSIKE CLOVER. This is very hardy. Seed being small goes farther, 
which keeps the seed bill down. Does well on wet and colder soils.

Ibs. per acre. Mixtures, 2 to 4 lbs. per acre. (60 lbs. per bu.). Write 
for price list.

coarser, grows: taller, ripens later, roots deeper. Produces one crop 
of hay. Thrives on poorer soils. More drought-resistant. Sow 8 to 10 
lbs. per acre, In mixtures, 2 to 6 lbs. per acre. (60 lbs. per bu.).

WHITE BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. Fine soil builder. Makes coarse 
hay. Planted in the spring will make good growth by fall. Lives for 
two years. Will reseed itself if left standing, By far the most popular 
variety in the Hast. Be sure to INOCULATE seed! Adds great value to 
soil. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre. Write for price list. 
YELLOW BLOSSOM SWEET CLOVER. Like the White Blossom, it isa 
biennial. Grows smaller tops, about 2 to 3 feet the first year, 4 to 5 feet - 
the second year. Has finer stems, thus preferred for hay or pasture. 
Write for price list. ; 
LADINO CLOVER. This is regarded as a giant form of the common 
White Dutch Clover, and like the latter is a long-lived perennial. Its_ 
growth, however, is more luxuriant. Makes excellent hay, yet roots are 
shallow enough to permit plowing up when desired. Needs moisture, 3 
especially on starting, but succeeds on soils too moist for alfalfa. Best — 
sown mixed with other grassés or clover, about 2 to 3 pounds per acre.
