Hardie’s Alfalfa 
Hardie’s Tested Seed Corn 
“FOR HAY AND PASTURE” 
Alfalfa is a very profitable crop, yielding - three to five cut¬ 
tings a year and the hay is most nutritious. It is claimed 
that the feed value of a ton of Alfalfa is equal to a ton of 
shelled corn. The yield in weigrht will average five to seven 
tons per acre. The roots will penetrate to a depth of 15 to 20 
feet and it will get plant food where other crops would be 
a failure. 
When once established, Alfalfa is the most valuable perma¬ 
nent clover crop that can be grown, also has the highest 
feeding value of any hay. 
For over 30 years, we have given especial thought and care 
to the selection of seed corn which would give best results 
under the varying growing conditions in this section, and by 
offering only the choicest-tested varieties, we have now become 
widely known as a dependable source of seed for this most im¬ 
portant crop. We offer both Northern and Southern varieties. 
Some growers prefer the one; others pin their faith to the 
other. From our 30 years experience, we believe that the 
judicious farmer should mix his crop—planting some of both 
the early maturing Northern corns and some of the later 
Southern varieties. The earlier Northern corns often make 
before our occassioal dry seasons set in. 
When considering the planting of Alfalfa, it is wise to remem¬ 
ber that it is one of the best soil builders. Should you want 
to plant Alfalfa land in some other crop and destroy the plants, 
the large roots decay and produce a wonderful source of fer¬ 
tility for the growing of new crops.

Field of Hardie’s Alfalfa. 
There are a good many factors that determine the yield of 
corn per acre. Some of these are beyond the control of the 
grower, but there is one very important factor that every grower 
can control, and that is the quality of the seeds that are planted. 
We call attention to the error many people make, when planting 
corn early, in having it too deep. The deeper you plant the 
colder the ground is, and especially with soft corns, the seed is 
apt to rot before the ground gets warm enough to germinate 
it, resulting in a poor stand. Early planting of corn should be 
planted shallow to produce an early and good stand.
