you. Always seems to have the 
pep right in it.”

★ 11 “I have been using Hoffman’s 
grass seeds the past two years 
with excellent results. This year’s hay 
crop was grown from a mixture of 
three-quarters Timothy and Alsike and 
one-quarter Mammoth Clover with a 
yield of three tons per acre with one 
cutting and free from weeds. This, of 
course, is an exceptionally good yield 
for this locality and, I believe, the best 
we ever had.”

ECONOMICAL MIXTURE 
(About i / 2 Red Clover— y 4 Alsike—V) Timothy) 
This continues to be a very popular seed. It is made up here by our¬ 
selves and we know it contains good seed. Saves you some money 
—hence its name. 
Economical Mixture is a very proper one for either hay, pasture, 
or soil improvement. It is made mostly from lots of mixed clover 
and timothy—seeds produced in this mixed condition. Hence costs 
less money than otherwise. All lots are tested for freedom from 
foul weed seeds. You actually get just about the proportion of 
each seed shown above. There may also be at times a little alfalfa, 
or perhaps a trace of sweet clover or other crop seeds present in 
this seed. It’s always thoroughly mixed. Seed of desirable quality, 
and offered at a saving. 
ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY (Mixed) 
These two crops do well together. Both are suited to lower ground 
than are many other grasses. They ripen close together. Make very 
desirable hay. . . . The supply of both Alsike and Timothy is so 
short this year that we may have difficulty keeping a stock of this 
seed on hand. . . . Likewise it may have to carry a little less than 
our usual 20 per cent limit of Alsike. However, at all times you 
will find it free from foul weeds and of otherwise good quality. 
Sow 12 to 16 pounds per acre. See Price List. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
This clover is very popular in the South. Each year finds it used 
a little farther north. The Kentucky College of Agriculture says: 
"It produces pasture of unexcelled quality in August when other 
pastures are poor. It will carry 1,000 to 2,000 pounds live weight, 
of stock per acre from June to October. It is large enough to graze 
from two or three weeks earlier than other varieties of lespedeza. 
Can be broadcast, 5 to 10 pounds per acre, on old, thin spotted 
pastures of any kind and makes a stand without stirring the land.” 
Korean Lespedeza is good for hay. ... In the South it has 
made from one to four tons per acre. Compares favorably to Alfalfa. 
Easy to cure. For best hay, sow 20 to 25 pounds seed per acre. 
Most any soil will produce this crop. Wet or dry, rich or poor, 
sour or sweet. When a good crop of Korean is turned under one 
year, the following corn crop has been greatly benefited. A great 
drought resister. Also a legume, storing the nitrogen at its roots 
that it collects from the air while growing. 
★12 “Don’t waste your postage on me. You have my 
order. I do not buy seeds from any one else.” 
Jess P. Miller, Beallsville, Pa. 
TIMOTHY 
Never was it necessary to print a statement like this—There may 
not be enough Timothy Seed to go around this spring. Crop was 
way short. Price must be very high while the remaining seed lasts. 
"Farmer’s Choice” Timothy here offered you is like always 
before—the very best seed to be had on the crop. . . . Tests for 
purity average just as high as possible—same as in past years. Al¬ 
ways free of bad weeds. Sound growth—fully tested. . . . No need 
to here tell the uses of Timothy—you know them. But we do urge 
very early orders for Timothy Seed. In fact—early orders for any 
seeds are advisable this year. See Price List.
