Turn the book around, and take a good look at that 
Alfalfa crop. It is as good a picture of as good a crop 
of Alfalfa as we have seen. That’s why it’s printed 
here for you to see.

The man who grew this splendid crop has just reason to 
be proud of it. His name is Harvey Maulfair, of Lebanon 
County, Pa. Of course there is no secret about where he 
bought the seed from which this fine crop was grown. You 
are right—he sowed Hoffman’s Alfalfa Seed . . . "North¬ 
west” Brand. We ask you the question—Does it look as 
though it paid this man to sow Hoffman’s Seed? 
It has been a little over twenty years since Hoffman started 
to more or less specialize in extra-fancy Alfalfa Seed. The 
brand "Northwest” was then first announced to the public. 
These twenty years have witnessed a great spread in the 
use of Alfalfa here in Pennsylvania and other States of the 
East. Many enviable crops have resulted where Hoffman’s 
"Northwest” Seed was sown. Today it’s only fair that you 
should know of something that has happened as a result 
of the extra popularity of Hoffman’s "Northwest” Alfalfa 
Seed. What we mean is that today the same name "North¬ 
west” is used by many firms to help sell their seed. And 
in some cases the seed itself has never been even close to 
the true source of Hoffman’s real, original "Northwest” 
Seed that has been doing so well throughout the North and 
East. 
Although imitated in name, Hoffman’s Alfalfa Seed today 
remains in its rightful position in respect to QUALITY. 
Namely, at the head of the list—so far as hardiness, free¬ 
dom from weeds, sound growth, and exceptional yielding 
ability and long life are concerned. Following pages give 
details.
