IT PAYS TO PLANT ONLY THE BEST 
Selection of Seed 
Very Important 
It Is very Important to 
use Alfalfa that ts of a hardy 
strain. There is no better 
proof that a strain is hardy 
than that it is grown in the 
Northwest, where the win- 
ters are severe and the 
ground freezes 8 feet or 
more. Alfalfa raised under these conditions must be of 
the hardiest strains and will stand the most trying con- | 
ditions. We have again secured a very choice [ot of 
Genuine Northera-grown Alfalfa fully matured, as | 
pure as Is possible to grow. High in germination, full | 
of seed life, plump and attractive. You can sow no seed 
that will give better results than our Northern-grown 
Seed. See Price-List.

Grimm Alfalfa 
Grimm Alfalfa has gained a wide reputation on 
account of its productiveness and extra hardiness, for | 
it survived winters that killed out many fields of other | 
varieties of Alfalfa. Grimm Alfalfa was selected from 
the hardiest plants year after year until tt became a 
fixed type of extreme hardiness and vigor. It differs 
somewhat from the other varieties in the crown of the | 
plant being receding, and is therefore protected by the | 
surface of the soil. The roots are also fibrous instead of | 
having only long tap-root. See Price-List. 
Certified Ranger Alfalfa 
Ranger is a long-lived alfalfa which ts highly resistant 
to bacterial wilt, susceptible to standard Alfalfa types, 
such as Variegated, Grimm and Common, soon after 
the second production year. Bacterial wilt is caused by 
a soil-borne bacterrum. When a susceptible plant is 
infected, the disease spreads gradually through the 
plant, resulting in :ts death. The only practical way 
to control wilt Is to use a resistant variety such as 
Ranger. 
Ranger yields better after the second crop year, if | 
wilt is present. Ranger usually yields much more than 
other Alfalfa varieties. Ranger is winter hardy, and ts 
well suited to northern Alfalfa growing areas. Ranger 
has been known to maintain its stand and still produce 
good yields in its tenth year. Ranger is recommended 
as being the best variety for northern areas where seed- 
ings are to be kept for more than two years. 
Special Hay Mixture 
For ordinary spring seeding this Mixture cannot be | 
beaten. The proportion is approximately 6 pounds 
Red Clover, 3 pounds Timothy, 3 pounds Alsike. Sow 
atom 5 pounds per acre on well- prepared seed-bed. 
None but the best seeds are used. This Mixture should 
be used very extensively for either hay, pasture or 
soiling purposes. When seeding timothy in the spring, 
always use red and alsike for best results. This Mixture, 
we believe, will meet with your approval and be a 
money-saver. It reduces the cost of your seeding and 
is an excellent grass combination for hay. See Price- 
List. 
Grimm Alfalfa 
White Sweet Clover 
Resembles alfalfa in both appearance and habit of 
growth when young but grows larger than alfalfa. 
It is efficient as a soil renovator, by reason of the large 
amount of nitrogen it will be able to take from the air, 
as well as humus added to the soil when turned under 
for the decay of the roots 
when it is harvested. No 
other forage or soiling crop 
has ever come into such 
favoras White Sweet Clover. 
As a soil-builder, either for 
naturally poor soils or those 
that have been exhausted, 
no other plant can take its place. There is nothing 
better to bring your worn-out land into farmable con- 
dition. To get full value out of your Sweet Clover, 
inoculate with Legume-Aid. See Price-List.

Yellow Sweet Clover 
This ts a biennial and does not grow quite as tall as 
the White Sweet Clover. More desirable for pasture or 
hay. Life-season longer and produces abundant pas- 
turage. See Price-List. 
Certified Buffalo Alfalfa 
Buffalo is another bacterial-wilt-resistant Alfalfa 
adapted to the more central and south eastern Alfalfa 
belt where Kansas common is grown. Buffalo is far 
superior to Kansas common in resistance to bacterial 
wilt and is equal to this standard variety in other re- 
spects. See price list. 
Brome Grass 
Brome Grass makes its best growth on moist, well- 
drained, loam soils of high fertility. As a pasture or 
hay, Smooth Brome Grass scarcely has an equal in 
the area of its best adaptation. Growth begins early 
in the spring and continues through the summer if 
enough moisture is available. Its good volume of leafy 
forage is relished by all classes of livestock. 
Brome Grass fits well into a grass-legume seeding, 
and many acres are now in Brome-Alfalfa mixture that 
formerly were sown to legume crops alone. They give 
greater forage yield and protection to the soil than 
either the Brome Grass or the alfalfa would have given 
if seeded alone, and the danger of bloat to grazing 
animals is less. Brome Grass should be sown separately, 
for It Is very difficult to sow it mixed with alfalfa. Can 
be mixed with grain or with fertilizer. Seven or 8 pounds 
per acre with 8 to 10 pounds of alfalfa are recommended 
rates for seeding. See Price-List.
