LOT "WESTERN" ALFALFA 
PINNACLE BRAND—99.40% PURE 
Lot Western" Alfalfa is a blend of extra fancy quality seed from New 
. Mexico, Texas, Utah, Arizona and other western States. This blend is all 
large, brightly colored berries and is actually one of the fanciest lots of 
seed we have seen this year.. We believe that Lot ‘“Western” will fit into a 
normal rotation program with good results. Because of its unusually 
fast growth it makes an excellent combination with Brome. We recom- 
mend the same seeding rates as the Dakota #12 listed below. 
ECONOMICAL ALFALFA SEEDING 
Lot “Western” is one of our lowest priced blends, yet every pound is 
strictly Pinnacle Brand quality. We do not believe that you can match 
this value anywhere. We actually know that many dealers will charge 
$5.00 to $6.00 more per bushel for this type seed. Many customers who. 
4 have used. Lot “Western” report very good results. We consider it 
; adapted to the southern part of the corn-belt States. We urge you to 
order your Alfalfa requirements early this year while stocks are com- 
plete. ‘“Gro-Coated” Alfalfa seed is your assurance of better stands and 
costs only a few cents extra per acre. 


DAKOTA #12 ALFALFA 
NORTHWESTERN-GROWN—PINNACLE BRAND 
99.40% PURE 
Seed production of Dakota #12 Alfalfa, like Northern Grimm, was critically short 
this year. We urge you to order your Alfalfa requirements early this year while stocks 
_are complete. Our Dakota #12 was largely produced in Idaho and Washington and 
“Wwe recommend it as hardy for any State. Extremities in weather conditions in the 
northwestern States makes it impossible to raise any but the hardiest strains of Al- 
falfa. Dakota #12 is heavy producing and vigorous in growth. Because of its ag- 
gressive growing habits it is used extensively with Brome and other Grasses. We 
recommend seeding 12 to 15 Lbs. per acre. When used with Brome, use about 10 
* Lbs. of Alfalfa and 7 to 8 Lbs. of Brome per acre.

as IN ee BN MONTANA GRIMM ALFALFA 
| vas OUR FINEST GRADE—EXTRA HARDY 
Montana Grimm has long been recognized as one of the hardiest strains of Alfalfa. 
The winters in Montana are long and severely cold with temperatures often ranging 
as much as 30 degrees below zero. Alfalfa that persists under such adverse -condi- 
tions 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 subsoil moisture. These lat- 
eral roots make Grimm Alfalfa less susceptible to heaving and more resistant to 
drought conditions,

berry size being large and brightly colored and entirely free from troublesome weeds.
