TIMOTHY 
“3 Tons per Acre . . . one cutting . . . free 
from weeds" says W. D. Hager, Farmington, Pa. 
Not only Mr. Hager, but truly many thousands of 
other eastern farmers today know the wisdom of 
sowing Hoffman’s “Famous Choice” Timothy Seed. 
Ever since 1905, when it was first introduced, our 
famous “Farmer’s Choice” brand of Timothy seed 
has been the choice of successful farmers. 
You get only the heaviest part of the best 
Timothy. No lightweight or immature seeds. That 
is why “Farmer’s Choice” tests for purity from 
99.65 to 99.80 per cent. Furthermore, the unbe¬ 
lievably small portion of impurities consists of 
harmless fibre and other grass seeds, such as 
Clover and Alsike. We can honestly say that 
“Farmer’s Choice” is as clean as it is possible 
to make it. Sow from 6 to 8 quarts per acre. If 
you add Clover in the spring, sow from 4 to 6 
quarts per acre. 
With the crop of Timothy seed very short this past 
year, prices will likely remain on high levels. In 
such years buyers should be all the more cautious 
about the quality of the seed they buy. Avoid buy¬ 
ing bargain-priced seed—it won’t pay you. Our 
friends are urged to depend on “Farmer’s Choice” 
seed for heavy, weed-free stands of Timothy. See 
Price List. 
Alsike and Timothy 
A Good Mixture Containing About 
20% Alsike and About 80% Timothy 
These two great grass crops grow well together. 
Plant this mixture of Alsike and Timothy and you 
will see that they “catch” without much difficulty. 
They thrive in low places—ripen together and aid 
each other. The Alsike (legume) puts nitrogen in 
the soil, thus improving the chances of the Timothy, 
and the latter supports the Alsike so that it will 
grow better. There is an average of 20 to 25 per 
cent Alsike Clover in this mixture. It is very free 
from weed seeds. Many of our oldest customers 
have bought this seed year after year. Sow 12 to 
16 pounds per acre. See Price List.
