‘Alfalfa 
ALFALFA 
The most valuable of ail legume crops. 
Alfalfa has done more to increase the value of farm 
fands than any other crop raised. It will thrive on any soil 
except a wet one, and not only produces a valuable hay 
crop of several tons to the acre but also enriches the soil 
on which it is grown. 
It is of the utmost importance that the seed bed be 
carefully prepared. The ground should be finely pulverized 
but firm. As Alfalfa is an expensive crop to sow, and since 
a good stand will last for a number of years, it is very 
important that none but the best seed be used. Cheap 
seed of inferior quality may result in a poor stand or be 
the cause of the farm becoming infested with noxious 
weeds.

Common Alfalfa 
Our seed is secured in the large producing districts by 
men who carefully select only the best lots for our particu- 
lar trade. When you order your seed from us you may 
rest assured that you are getting stock of high quality. 
Grimm, Cossack and Ladak Alfalfas 
Where killing of alfalfa by drouth, frost and heaving is 
experienced, we recommend either of these varieties. They 
have double root systems, and the large crowns set low in 
the ground throwing out many more shoots than the so- 
called common variety.

CERTIFIED GRIMM * 
This seed is from fields that are state registered. The 
seed is officially inspected and graded and each sack is 
sealed by a state inspector at the time of cleaning. 
CERTIFIED LADAK 
Ladak Alfalfa is a new hardy, somewhat wilt- resistant | 
variety introduced by the United States Department of 
Agriculture from Northern India. Tests in the Pacific — 
Northwest and other northern states have shown it to be ‘ 
as hardy as Grimm or Cossack and a better yielder. It is b| 
especially well suited for seeding on thin, clay points. This t 
variety is well adapted to areas infested with alfalfa wilt. 
Being a new variety the amount of seed grown in the — 
United States is comparatively small and present supply 
limited. ; :

These are genuine varieties having the same character-_

If you intend | 
raising seed, however, we recommend sowing Blue Tag, 
which is the only grade that can be certified. 
CLOVERS 
Medium Red Clover is conceded to be the most import- 
ant of the clovers. It is a valuable crop for either hay or 
pasture, and at the same time builds up the soil. It has — 
been proven that it is a success on the uplands of | a 
district, and is one of the most profitable crops raised. A 
large, profitable hay crop can be raised, or the field can. be 
clipped early and the second crop saved for seed. ae Hak
