NORTHERN 
GROWN 
LOT VIM 
A thrifty buy in alfalfa that gives marvelous satisfaction and at a low price. - 
Folks write stating ‘It gave me a better stand than seed that cost twice as 
much.’ and ‘It’s the best stand in the neighborhood.” Lot VIM produces 
fine stemmed, leafy hay and stands the winters and dry weather extra good. 
Hardiness is bred into this seed. Although the germination per 100 seeds 
is lower, the GERMINATION PER POUND is HIGH since it has about 33% 
more seeds per pound than higher price seed. It will produce a wonderful 
stand at 12 to 15 pounds or even less per acre. Since Kansas VIM is not 
available this year, we have secured for you this hardy northern seed which 
we know will please you. It is not as bright in appearance nor as plump 
as higher price seed, but if you want one of the finest stands of alfalfa in 
your neighborhood, plant Lot VIM. It is not always possible for us to 
obtain enough of this seed for the demand. It is the selection of thousands 
of farmers so order early. It cuts your seeding cost way down.

The Gem Of All Alfalfa 
Here is the nationally famous~ Kansas alfalfa. 
country for its hardiness and the high quality hay it produces. Lot BOW 
Kansas is famous for its unusually high quality and always pleases the 
most critical buyers. Its bright yellow, plump uniform berries attract 
attention and we will put it up against any alfalfa in the country for 
quality. Unfortunately Kansas seed is in very short supply so if you want 
Lot BOW Kansas, you must order early and due to this condition, we must 
offer it subject to the stock of seed we have on hand. We dislike to offer 
seed this way but it cannot be helped under present conditions. May we 
suggest you give us a second choice because of this situation. We will ship 
Kansas if we possibly can but if not, then your order will not be delayed.

U.S. Verified Origin An Excellent Value! 
This is the Dakota 12 type that is well known over the nation. Grown in 
eastern Washington close to the Idaho line. This is beautiful seed of 
unusual strong germination and is produced in a rigorous climate where 
each year temperatures go below zero—last year to 25° below. This area 
dlso has little snowfall in winter so plants do not get snow protection 
during these cold winters and are subjected to severe heaving. It is a 
new area for alfalfa seed production but produced more than any other 
state this year. In our opinicn it is the best buy on the market this year 
when price and quality -of seed are considered. Everyone using it has 
been highly pleased. You can't go wrong on Lot BOW Washington, tops 
in quality but lowest in price of our Lot BOW alfalfas. Northern seed, it 
is very comparable to Montana grown, a vigorous grower, adapted to all - 
parts of the nation.
