This seed must pass all the provisions of Federal import seed law for 
purity, germination, etc. The government certainly would not permit im- 
portation and unrestricted seeding of this seed-if it did not consider the’ 
seed suitable for this country. ‘There are some men who would advise 
against the .use of Kansas and Oklahoma seed in northern states like 
Wisconsin and Michigan yet large quantities of that seed are used there. 
Many of those northern farmers prefer it to any other. Argentine seed 
may prove equally satisfactory. We make no claim for special hardiness 
but we would not sell it if our past experience with this seed did not 
be sown with this Argentine seed

Seven Years in Nebraska 
In a letter dated Sept., 1945, Amos Ebel near 
Falls City, Nebraska, writes as follows: “I have 
a field of Argentine Alfalfa that was seeded in 
the fall of 1938. I thought you might be inter- 
ested in the results I have had with this field. 
It has always yielded as good a quality and as 
large a tonnage as any alfalfa I ever had. Two 
years I had 70 head of hogs running on this 
field. The past year the stand has started to 
- thin out in some places so I plan to break it up. 
I can say I am very well pleased with the 
results I have had with Argentine Alfalfa.” 
This certainly indicated that this Argen- 
tine seed had hardiness as well as 
yield and quality. Seven years 
is longer than many plan

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

Seed Producing States Use It 
Farmers in many of the big seed-producing 
states like Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, 
etc. use Argentine seed. Wholesalers who 
supply retail dealers in these states report it 
is being used in increasing quantities. They 
want more this year than a year ago which 
shows farmers were well pleased with results. 
Our sales last year were heavy in other states 
like Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, and many east- 
ern states. It should do as well in corn belt 
states as western ones. We expect the de- 
mand for it to be extra heavy this year and 
have the seed on hand ready for you. With all 
the evidence of good success with Argen- 
tine Alfalfa we would consider our- 
selves lacking in service if we did 
not make the seed available 
to you. It gives you 
high testing seed at 
very low cost. 














Yours truly,
