★ 21 “58 acres Alfalfa—4M tons 
per acre.” 
H. A. Algers, 
Campbelltown, Pa. 
The above picture shows part of Mr. 
Algers’ alfalfa-—second cutting. . . Note 
its height—how thick it is—and no 
weeds! ... As good a reason as could 
be given that Hoffman’s Alfalfa Seed 
has paid the man who sowed it.

★ 22 “We have our alfalfa cut and 
in the barn. It was one of the 
nicest alfalfa fields ever seen. All the 
old farmers couldn’t get done talking 
about our field and all of them praised

Dunbar, Pa. 
“GRIMM” ALFALFA 
(U. S. Government Verified Origin Seed) 
"Grimm” is the name given many years ago to this strain of 
Alfalfa. It has been known to withstand extremes of unfavorable 
weather conditions better than other alfalfas growing alongside. 
It will be widely used again this year, because of its fine success 
heretofore. It comes direct from the sections growing it, and is 
certified by its growers under affidavit to be the true Grimm strain. 
The roots of the genuine Grimm are often curiously formed. 
Very often they branch out—sometimes they grow out very much 
like the roots of the regular Alfalfa. The crowns are set low. This 
protects the part of the plant that needs most protection. You get 
full value for your money with Hoffman’s Grimm Seed.

KANSAS ALFALFA 
Many prefer this seed to other Alfalfa. Genuine U. S. Verified 
Origin Seed. Some say that Alfalfa from this State is hardier than 
other varieties, because of the freezing and thawing conditions un¬ 
der which Alfalfa plants must live there and produce seed. The 
cleanest seed that you can get—free from dirt and dangerous weeds. 
No good can come from ever-so-well-prepared seed-beds, inocu¬ 
lated soils, etc., when poor Alfalfa, or seed of doubtful origin is 
sown. The poorest economy is to save a dollar or two on the cost 
price of Alfalfa Seed, when real, first-class dependable seed costs 
just a few extra cents per acre! There is a price-saving possible, in 
Kansas seed. It is now being used by quite a large number of 
Eastern Alfalfa men—and successfully, too. See Price List.
