Hoffman's "Northwest" Alfalfa 
This brand is recommended unconditionally 
to our customers. The very choicest strain of 
Alfalfa Seed possible to secure. It is the clean- 
est, brightest and strongest seed from non-irri- 
gated fields in the far Northwest. This includes 
the districts adjacent to the North Rockies and 
Black Hills, the most Northern sections where 
Alfalfa Seed can be matured. Very little of the 
Reed ever reaches the Eastern markets. "North- 
west" Alfalfa possesses vigor and hardiness un- 
equaled by seed grown elsewhere. Only a strong, 
vigorous strain can endure the climatic condi- 
tions of the Northland. Feeble plants can't live 
there. Therefore, the seed matured is only from 
strong plants of the most hardy types. 
Most of the quality of seed from this section fit 
for our North-Wcst brand is eagerly purchased for re- 
sceding right in the states where it is produced. Our 
stocks were procured with the greatest difficulty, and at 
prices that forbid tlie possibility of selling as low as the 
common Alfalfas in the market. However, the price is 
within reacli. We firmly believe that one-fourth less of 
our "North-West" Alfalfa seed is needed per acre than 
of the common brands ; so that the use of this hardy 
strain of Alfalfa from the Black Hills and North Rockies 
is really a matter of economy. 
At this writing we are the fortunate owners of 
large stocks of this strain — but we urge our customers 
to order tliis brand long in advance of seed time. Most 
of our trade demands "Northwest" Seed, and we are 
confident present stocks will not last us through the 
season. See Price List. 
Hoffman's "Extra" Alfalfa 
Hoffman's "Extra" Alfalfa is not second 
grade by any means. It represents the very 
highest possible degree of purity, as well as 
germination. Beautiful as to color. It is North- 
ern grown, American, unirrigated seed. Not 
grown as far North as our "Northwest" brand 
but in a latitude that makes it suitable for culture 
all over the Middle Atlantic States. Hoffman's 
"Extra" is a grade that very rarely finds its way 
in Eastern Seed Stores. We have sold Hoff- 
man's "E.xtra" Alfalfa for years here in the dis- 
trict served by us and it has given complete 
satisfaction. It will compare favorably with any 
competing brand in the market, both in purity 
and growth. In vigor and hardiness it is second 
only to our "Northwest." See our Price List. 
Grimm" Alfalfa 
A Splendid Stand from " North-We»t' 
Alfalfa Seed 
It is claimed for Grimm Alfalfa that it has larger crowns and a more spreading root system 
than other strains of Alfalfa, and that Grimm .-Mf.-ill.! will start better in undrained, wet locations. The 
reputation of Grimm Alfalfa was made before the splendid hardy and prolific strains were developed 
in the Black Hills and North Rockies, and at present these new Alfalfas produced in the Northland 
are close competitors with the Grimm strain. Grimm Seed is held at almost prohibitive prices. Our 
"Northwest" ranks so high and costs so much less that we are not sure it pays to sow Grimm. 
Our "Grimm" Seed was grown in the Black IT ill region. If you order "Grimm," tell us if we 
may substitute "Northwest" if we are sold out of "Grimm." See Latest Price List.

" FARMOGERM "—The Best Inoculation for Alfalfa 
Farmogerm is the highest grade — most successful inoculation for all the legume seeds. Farmogerm is a 
pure culture, or growth of tiny bacteria. When applied to the seeds of legume plants will produce large quan- 
tities of nitrogen. This is formed in the little nodules attached to the roots of the plant — thus storing this valua- 
ble property — nitrogen — in the soil for crops that follow. Besides this, Farmogerm will increase the yield of the 
plant, both in size and feeding value. 
Beyond all doubt, it pays well to inoculate seed with Farmogerm. The patented stopper used in the Farm- 
ogerm bottles keeps 'the bacteria alive Smd active for many years, so that you don't have to wait until the last 
minute to order and run the risk of delay as you do when using cultures in sealed bottles. 
You should make it a rule never to plant any other legume without first inoculating the seed with Farmo- 
germ. It is simply applied. No trouble, no bother, small expense, but sure results. 
When ordering be sure to state you want Farmogerm for Alfalfa — each crop takes a different culture. 
Prices — 5^-acre size bottle. 50c; l-acre size. $2.00; 5-acre size. $7.50. Postage Prepaid.
