^ 7 Hayfield of Noah L. Nolt, Bareville, Pa., sown to Hoffman’s 
Alfalfa and Timothy Seed. A heavy, profitable crop! 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Here’s a seed where quality counts—and certainly not the price 
per bushel. . . . Alsike seeds being so small, they go farther— 
hence really cost you less. Again, because small-seeded, Alsike 
is harder to clean, and you certainly can get a world of weeds in 
Alsike if the greatest care isn’t followed when buying your seed 
As you know—Alsike is a sure-catch clover, white blossom, 
fine stemmed, hardy, stands lower places better than other clovers. 
... It is often sown mixed with Red Clover at two to three parts 
Red to one part Alsike. 
"Extra” Quality Alsike is what nearly everybody sows. Extra 
well cleaned. The very choice of the crop. Bound to please the 
most particular seed buyer. 
"Economy” Alsike sells for less money. It may contain some 
White Dutch Clover or Timothy which lowers the purity test. 
Lower cost seed because it may contain some White Dutch 
Clover or some Timothy—thus lowering the purity but not hurt¬ 
ing the quality. 
“ECONOMY” RED CLOVER 
"Economy” brand is lower-priced seed. It will not test up to 
"Extra” brand requirements, but equals or surpasses a great deal 
of the seed sold throughout the country. . . . Some lots of 
"Economy” seed may contain other crop seeds—several points of 
Alfalfa or a trace of Sweet Clover or perhaps some Alsike. These 
other seeds don’t hurt the seed, but they would keep down the 
actual net purity test. "Economy” Clover is always valuable seed 
at the lower price it costs you. See Price List. 
MAMMOTH (sapling) CLOVER 
Much like the regular Red Clover. Used for about the same pur¬ 
poses. Mammoth is a little coarser—grows taller—ripens later— 
roots deeper. Produces but one crop of hay—affords less pasture 
after cut. Thrives on poorer soils. Withstands drought quite 
well. Just one grade—"Extra” quality—is sold. 
WHITE (DUTCH) CLOVER 
Don't sow weeds. You don't have to! 
But many a man will this spring—and 
he won’t know it! For he'll buy home- 
cleaned seed from a neighbor. And the 
neighbor cleaned it—and thinks it’s 
clean. But in most cases it’s not! Not 
nearly clean! Many actual tests of such 
seed showed 2 per cent or more weeds 
still in the so-called cleaned seed after 
cleaned. . . . That means 350,000 weeds 
in a bushel of seed. . . . There's real 
danger in sowing such seed! 
Don’t gamble with uncertain 
seed. Buy a brand that’s just got to be 
clean of foul stuff! Buy Hoffman’s 
"Extra” Red Clover. Start on the right 
track. It won’t cost you over 10 cents to 
30 cents an acre more than the cheapest 
other seed you can buy. And that's 
nothing, when crop results are com¬ 
pared ! 
3 Blauch Bros., of Palmyra, Pa., 
got this fine stand of clover and 
alfalfa from their seeding of Hoff¬ 
man’s “Extra” Quality Seed. 
For early spring grazing, plant this good pasture Clover. It is 
high in protein. It stands up under trampling. Furnishes plenty 
of nectar for bees. Is a real "creeper.” Constantly growing new 
plants because its stems form new growths when they come in 
contact with the earth.
