The Famous Yakima Valley Seed 
Here is one of those special values that are seldom found. Through a special buy- 
ing connection we got a few cars of this beautiful seed below prevailing markets. 
This seed is grown in Washington just a few miles across the line from the northern- 
most part of Idaho. 
It has all the characteristics of yield and hardiness of the north- 
ern Idaho and Montana seed. 
This is such a wonderful value that I am sending you a sample of it.

This is our lowest price grade of hardy domestic 
‘alfalfa seed. Although it is cheaper in price, it brings 
us the most letters of praise. Those who judge by 
results consider it wonderful. If you go by looks of 
the seed, you will not find it tops. 
It contains some 
off colored seed. Some smaller berries. The smaller 
berries mean more seed per lb. When you sow the 
same number of Ibs. per acre as with other grades, 
you put more seeds per square foot. That is why it 
does so well, even though the germination per hun- 
dred seeds is somewhat lower. You will find it highly 
satisfactory in yields and quality. It is exactly the 
same in hardiness as any of our Corn-belt stock. It 
should yield as well, and last as long. 
Customers Are Enthused About Honest John 
Customers write in and say it produces stands as “thick as hair on a dog’s 
back.” Others write that they saw Honest John on their neighbor’s field 
where it produced better stands than they had from seed costing almost 
twice as much. We handle this serviceable seed for those who want to 
cut their seeding cost as low as possible.

mixtures or other grasses, or clovers. 
Remember the real way to judge seed value is to figure 
the number of sprouts per ounce or pound rather than by 
the hundred seeds. You don’t sow Alfalfa by count but by 
weight or measure. That is the secret of “Honest” John’s 
success.
