NORTHERN GROWN. 
ALFALFA | 
EXTREMELY SHORT 
Smallest Crop in History 
Supplies of Northern Alfalfa are the smallest in his- 
tory this year. Our stocks will undoubtedly be ex- 
hausted before the season is over. We were unable to 
secure our usual amount of seed from Montana, Idaho 
and Nebraska so we have had to look for our supplies 
from other areas. We have been fortunate in obtaining 
some extra nice lots of Alfalfa from Utah, Texas, Colo- 
rado, New Mexico and other southwestern States. We 
consider Utah and Colorado origins just as hardy as any 
Alfalfa. The high altitude New Mexico Common we 
believe will fit into a normal rotation program with 
very good results as will our Pinnacle Brand Texas Al- 
falfa. Alfalfa that will persist and thrive under the 
severe winter conditions that sometimes prevail in 
northern Texas and New Mexico certainly should be 
hardy. We naturally do not consider Arizona and Cali- 
fornia origins‘as winter-hardy as our other origins men- 
tioned above; however, many customers have used 
these to a very good advantage the past year or two. 
The first year growth of California and Arizona Al- 
falfa is much heavier than other types. Many are using 
this Alfalfa instead of Sweet Clover for soil improve- 
ment. purposes, particularly where Sweet Clover weevil 
is a serious factor. Insist on knowing the origin of 
your Alfalfa seed this year. Every bag we sell is plainly 
and clearly tagged showing the purity, germination 
and origin. 



OUR BIGGEST ALFALFA VALUE 
lot GRAND 
This is our lowest priced Alfalfa but 
don’t judge seed by price. Performance is 
what counts. Hundreds of our customers 
sow Lot “Grand”. every year with highly 
satisfactory results. It is a blend of com- 
mon Alfalfa like our corn-belt blends and 
we consider it equal in hardiness. This 
seed naturally is not as fancy in appear- 
ance as our higher priced grades, and the 
germination is not as high. Many of the 
seeds are smaller and discolored. Actually 
when planted at 15 lbs. per acre you often- 
times get better stands than with the bet- 
ter grades because you get about 25% 
more seeds per pound. Use Lot ‘‘Grand’’ 
generously in both hay and pasture com- 
binations or sow alone. We were not able 
to secure a very large stock of this seed 
and ‘we urge you to order 
early as there is always a 
tremendous demand for Lot 
“Grand.’’ Cut your seeding 
costs to a minimum. We 
guarantee to save you money 
on all of your seed purchases. 
























"Planted Lot Grand Alfalfa for 9 Years" 
Evansville, Wisconsin 
I have planted Lot ‘‘Grand’’ Alfalfa seed for 9 years. 
It has always produced heavy stands even on some of 
the poorest land. I have found-that a field of Lot “Grand” Alfalfa 
stays productive two or three years longer than other seeds at higher 
prices, George A. Holvey, Route No. 2

COSSACK ALFALFA 
Pinnacle Brand Quality 
Cossack is considered by many to be the hardi- 
est of all Alfalfa. We recommend it for any area 
where winter killing is a serious factor and we 
consider it hardy for any part of the nation. It 
is vigorous in growth, fine stemmed, and equal to 
Grimm in yielding ability. 
Vigorous Growing—Extremely Hardy 
This is northern grown seed, strictly top quality in every 
respect, carefully cleaned and shows a test of over 99.25% 
ure, 
P Under field conditions in Illinois, Cossack has shown less 
susceptibility to Bacterial Wilt than Grimm. Satisfactory 
stands many times remain a year or two longer than other 
strains. In a four-year test at Ames, Iowa Cossack was 
exceeded only by Ranger, Buffalo, and : 
Ladak in stand survival and yield, being 
superior to Grimm, Baltic and Common 
strains. We only offer one grade of Cos- 
sack: Pinnacle Brand which is your as- 
surance of the finest seed available. We 
guarantee you will be pleased with this 
quality. Compare our prices. We can 
Save you several dollars per bushel on 
your Alfalfa requirements. 


NORTHERN GROWN — 
lot LIBERTY 
HARDY GRIMM 
Sometimes we have an opportunity to purchase special 
lots of seed which will not sell for fancy grades because 
of some slight discoloration or other reasons. We buy 
these lots at big discounts; consequently, we can offer 
them at very attractive prices. Our Lot Liberty Grimm 
is hardy northern grown seed. It has been carefully proc- 
essed and contains no bad weeds. It does contain about 
3 to 4% of other Clovers, such as Red Clover, Sweet Clo- 
ver, and Alsike, but has a total crop purity of over 98%. 
The seed is slightly discolored but it has good growing 
power. For an economical Alfalfa seed- 
ing it cannot be beaten. Guaranteed sat- 
isfactory or your money back. Grimm of 
this quality will cost you several dollars 
per bushel more from most dealers.
