2 of Our 
Best Sellers 
Northern Grown 
Use Grimm or Northern Dakota 12 or Common for Extra Hardiness 
If your conditions require extra hardy alfalfas, 
these two lots of Grimm will make good selec- 
tions. See maps on next page to get our ideas 
of adaptability. Generally, Grimm is a good Al- 
falfa for areas from Central Iowa on north, and 
east and west across the nation. It is used ina 
secondary way south of this area, even into Ken- 
tucky and Tennessee. In this area, however, the 
other origins of alfalfa do as well or even better, 
and the seed is lower in price. These two lots of 
Grimm described here are splendid values. At 
the bottom of the page is the Chilean Alfalfa. 
That is not Grimm. It is fast growing although 
a-less hardy kind.

'$ BONAFIDE 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
Excellent results in Minnesota 
I sowed your. Gro-Coated 
Alfalfa at 5 lbs. per acre, with 
Brome Grass this spring. I 
have a fine stand of Alfalfa, 
it started-to bloom the latter 
part of August. It would 
niake a good hay crop this 
fall.

A Fancy Grade Lot 
Lot Bonafide has for years been a very big 
seller with us. It is a selected value and a sound, 
dependable lot of seed to use. Here is honest-to- 
goodness quality that will give you good service- 
able results. It does not have that extreme 
fancy color which means materially higher 
prices. If you wish the extra fancy-looking 
seed use our World Brand Grimm as described 
on page 23 of this book. 
While this seed does not have the extra fancy 
appearance it has been well recleaned and has 
good growing power. This is northern grown 
seed and that kind of seed is extremely scarce 
-this year. The better posted you are on the 
Alfalfa seed situation the more you will realize 
what an outstanding value this Lot Bonafide is 
this year. When you can buy seed of this charac- 
ter for more than $10.00 per humdred below the 
price of the World Brand you are really buying 
seed worth the money. 
Frankly we do not know just how long through- 
out the season we will be able to supply seed of 
this quality. We have a reasonable supply of it 
as our Catalog goes to press and we are hoping 
to obtain more of it. The probabilities will be 
however, that these additional lots will cost ma- 
thick as it could stick on the 
_ground and it grew very fast. 
I think this is a wonderful 
treatment and it sure pays to 
get it on your seed.

Best Alfalfa in the County 
My husband said to tell you, 
that he got the best Alfalfa 
in the County. He likes Gro- 
Coated Brand seed.

Better than Home Grown 
Grimm 
Your Gro-Coated Brand seed 
gave me a good stand. It did 
better than home grown 
Grimm, it came quicker and 
grew faster.

He wants only Gro-Coated Seed 
Gro-Coated Alfalfa seed that 
we sowed, was half as tall as 
the Clinton Oats when we-cut 
them. I have talked to the 
man on the farm and he said, 
it will be Gro-Coated seed from 
now on. ; 
W. BE. DeMogs, 
Our Lowest-Priced Grimm 
This is a very serviceable lot of seed also of 
northern origin, the same as Lot Bonafide. At 
the extremely low price that we have on Bed 
Rock you would not expect the color to be quite 
as fine or the berries as large. This lot contains 
smaller berries and there are off-colored seeds 
in it. The germination per hundred seeds is 
lower. However, you must remember that the 
smaller berries means there are more seeds per 
pound. When you sow seed you sow by weight 
or measure, and not by count. A pound ora 
quart of Bed Rock will contain more seeds for ex- 
ample than our World Brand. Therefore, even 
though the germination per hundred seeds tests 
lower, the number of sprouts per pound or per 
quart show up very favorably. In fact in some of 
our tests we’ve gotten more sprouts per ounce than 
from the more expensive seed. % 
We sell a lot of this Bed Rock Grimm Alfalfa 
every year. Our customers like it because they 
find it has the ability to produce good, strong 
stands. It has the same hardy characteristics as 
the higher priced seed and the same yielding abil- 
ity. You do not have to sow it at any heavier 
rate per acre. We suggest 15 pounds. 
In the Grimm Alfalfa you do get extra hardi-

I used your Gro-Coated Al-

More of it grew and it grew

terially more money. There are too many people 
trying to buy Alfalfa seed and 
this is bound to force the market 
to much higher levels. You will 
be using good judgment to buy 
your Alfalfa seed right away. In 
considering our values, remember 
too, that our prices are for the 
seed Gro-Coated. We certainly

ness that under some conditions is very desirable. 
If you consider that your condi- : : 
tions demand this we will be glad 
to take care of your.order for the 
Grimm. We have it in these two 
lots and the other as described on 
page 23. Remember there is a 
Saving of 20c per pound between 
Bed Rock and the World Brand. 
This really is a sensational value, 
and it’s Gro-Coated too. 
Variegated Blossom Alfalfa 
This variety has many variegated blossoms. That is considered an indication of a basically hardy kind. 
This seed was produced in California. We do not recommend it as a hardy Alfalfa although we have had 
some surprising reports on it as far nerth as Minnesota. We suggest however that it be used in central or 
northern sections only in connection with other alfalfa or grasses. It is best for quick growth and in short 
rotations. 
The seed that we have for you in this Chilean Alfalfa is a beautiful quality. The big bold bright berries 
are strong and vigorous. The germination and purity are high. It has that top quality that appeals to a 
quality buyer. Shipment is guaranteed to please you in every respect. It’s Gro-Coated Brand and strictly 
World Brand grade. This Alfalfa seed comes from extra heavy producing fields. The fast growth of the 
plants is in part responsible for this. : : 
Seed of this character is being sown in other western and mountain states where it apparently does quite 
well. Seed from those fields is then sold at premium prices. Some Central Corn Belt states are advocating 
its use in place of Sweet Clover. The seed is very reasonably priced and can be put to 
good service in several ways as suggested above. See Item No. 3 on Price List.
