This is Wm. Neidigh's field (Dauphin County, Pa.) of Hoffman "Northwest" 
Alfalfa. Fine results for the dry 1936 season. 
HOFFMAN’S “GRIMM” ALFALFA 
(U. S. Government Verified Origin Seed) 
Certain varieties of Alfalfa will produce better crops than 
others in Northern sections. Of these outstanding varieties 
there is none better known than "Grimm.” It will withstand 
wide extremes of unfavorable weather conditions and will 
winter through seasons that are likely to kill off many other 
varieties of Alfalfa. 
"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. 
If you are located on a high land, or in the northern tier 
of counties, you can make no mistake by sowing Hoffman’s 
"Grimm.” Be sure, however, that your seed bed is well 
prepared and that your soil has plenty of lime.
