IT PAYS TO PLANT ONLY THE BEST 
Grimm Alfalfa 
We have a small amount of Grimm Alfalfa this year 
for those who want it. This seed is Northwest grown 
and high in purity and germination. It is U. S. Gov- 
ernment Verified. The Grimm-type Alfalfas have a 
crown root in place of the long tap-root. Grimm types 
are easier to start and do not plow as hard after standing 
for a number of years. However, we rather recommend 
Certified Ranger (a Grimm type) over regular Grimm 
because of its resistance to bacteria wilt and its ability 
to produce high yields over a much longer period. 
Ranger costs very little more per acre. See Price-List. 
Certified Ranger Alfalfa 
Ranger is a long-lived Alfalfa, which is highly re- 
sistant to bacterial wilt. Bacterial wilt is caused by a 
soil-borne bacterium. When a susceptible plant ts 
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 or Buffalo. Ranger is a high-yielding variety 
and is very winter hardy. It is well suited for northern 
areas. We recommend it for Pennsylvania and north. 
See Price-List. 
Certified Buffalo Alfalfa 
Buffalo is another wilt-resistant variety, high yielding 
but not as winter hardy as Ranger. It does well in 
southeastern Pennsylvania and south. We recommend 
only certified seed in these wilt-resistant varieties. 
See Price-List. 
We highly recommend inoculating Alfalfa seed with 
Legume-Aid. This is good insurance for a better stand. 
Be sure to include this on your order. 
- 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 is an 
excellent grass combination for hay. See Price-List.

Certified Ranger 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 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.

LEGUME SEED WITH 
LEGUME-AID 
Birdsfoot Trefoil 
Used for pasture, hay or silage. Plants attain a 
height of 18 to 30 inches. Stems slender, branched, and 
moderately leafy. Good for long-term seeding on wide 
range of soils. Will produce stands on land that is not 
drained quite well enough for alfalfa, but do not sow it 
on extremely low land. 
This year we have both European and domestic 
seed. We recommend the European only for hay and 
ensilage, but not pasture. 
For pasture we recommend Certified Empire Broad 
Leaf, New York grown. This variety will also produce 
good hay and ensilage. 
Sow 5 pounds Birdsfoot with 6 pounds timothy per 
acre. Prepare a good seed-bed, use lime, and inoculate 
the seed. See Price-List.
