HARDY—HEAVY PRODUCING 
Montana Grimm has long been recognized as 
‘one of the hardiest strains of Alfalfa. The win- 
ters in Montana are long and severely cold with : 
temperatures often ranging as much as 30 de- 
grees below zero. Alfalfa that persists under 
such’ adverse conditions certainly should be 
hardy for any place in the nation. 
The healthy, vigorous growing plants have 
fine stems and leafy foliage. There are many 
branching roots which penetrate deeply into the F 
subsoil moisture. These lateral roots make 
; Grimm Alfalfa less susceptible to heaving and 
more resistant to drought conditions.

We have only one car of this beautiful lot of Alfalfa to offer. It is grown in the north- 
‘west where extremities in weather conditions make it impossible to raise any but the NORTHWESTERN 
DAKOTA No. 12 TYPE 


- hardiest strains. Like our regular Dakota No. 12, it is heavy producing and vigorous in 
growth. It is used extensively with Brome Grass because of its aggressive growing | 
habits. Brome Grass has a tendency to crowd some Alfalfa out after two or three years 
- but this Dakota No. 12 seems to persist longer than other strains. Plant at 
the usual rate of 12 to 15 pounds per acre. If used with Brome, 10 pounds 
_ Alfalfa and 7 pounds of Brome makes a good combination.
