How to Choose Crops to fit Your Needs 
On the previous page we give you two basic pasture seedings and explain how they may be changed to fit 
your own particular soil conditions. We know that you sometimes want something different. Therefore we are 
listing below various grasses and .clovers that can be used for different purposes. You will find opposite each 
a figure showing the number of pounds per acre that we recommend sowing if you sow it without any mixing. 
This will make it easy for you to figure how to make up any special mixture you want. For example, we 
suggest Brome alone 20 pounds per acre. Alfalfa 12 to 15. Red Clover 7 to 8. Then if you should decide you 
want a mixture half Brome and a fourth each of Red Clover and Alfalfa, you would get 10 pounds of Brome, 
38 to 4 of Alfalfa and 2 of Red Clover. 
We cannot prepare special mixtures for you.

Seeds Satisfy—Saves Money Consistent Values—Prompt Shipment 
: Homer Pa. 
ity, 
I seeded 10 acres of oats this year with 
your Northern Grown Alfalfa seed. I 
never had a finer catch of alfalfa, and 
that is quite some satisfaction. I like 
your promptness in shipments and your 
consistent values. 
Yours truly, Homer F. Kunkle 
Portland, Mich. 
Dear Sirs: 
I am perfectly satisfied with your seeds 
in every way. Also, your low prices saves 
me money. 
Yours truly, 
Cc. W. Knoll
