IT PAYS TO PLANT ONLY THE BEST 
Selection of Seed 
Very Important 
It Is very Important to 
use Alfalfa that is 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 lot of 
Genuine Northern-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 it 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 is 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 bacterium. When a susceptible plant is 
infected, the disease spreads gradually through the 
plant, resulting in its 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 three years. 
Certified Buffalo Alfalfa 
Buffalo Alfalfa is another bacterial wilt-resistant 
Alfalfa adapted to the more central and southeastern 
Alfalfa belt where Kansas common is grown. It is 
superior in bacterial wilt-resistance and seed and 
forage productivity to Kansas common. It has a 
higher survival stand than Kansas common in the 
northern states. Wilt is present in the important 
Alfalfa-growing areas. Only certified seed is recom- 
mended, regardless of origin. We can recommend 
Buffalo Alfalfa in the central and southeastern parts of 
the United States where seedings are to be kept for 
more than three years. See Price-List.

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 arr, 
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 
favor as 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.

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 
12 to 15 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. Reduces the cost of seeding and ts an 
excellent grass combination for hay. 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 mm 
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.
