^^CERTIFIED” GRIMM ALFALFA 
Certified and sealed under the direct supervision of the 
State authorities. Every bag of this seed is sealed at the 
threshing machine and is checked and resealed through all 
cleaning operations by the deputies of the State Department. 
A tag comes on each bag—giving all the details of certifi¬ 
cation. As with most everything else—there are many grades 
of "Certified” Grimm Alfalfa. Buy Hoffman’s tested seed. 
IMPROVE MANURE? YES! 
Manure is deficient in phosphoric acid and should always 
have an addition of Superphosphate. Fifty pounds added 
to the average farmload of manure will balance it. 
Another practical approach is to use one pound of 16 per 
cent or 20 per cent Superphosphate per animal per day 
and apply it to the manure in the barn. It is satisfactory 
to use in that proportion, either daily or twice a week. The 
Superphosphate helps to prevent the escape of the ammonia. 
FRENCH PROVENCE ALFALFA 
Although new on the Hoffman list, this strain has been 
sown in America for many years. Government tests in many 
sections of the United States have shown it to be but slightly 
less Winter-hardy than the Kansas (U. S.) seed. Kansas 
seed has been very dependable. For use in lower Pennsyl¬ 
vania and States south, this French Provence Seed is now 
offered at a big saving in cost. One Pennsylvania State test 
of some 15 years ago showed French Provence Alfalfa yield¬ 
ing about 80 per cent of the check-strain grown alongside. 
For cleanness and freedom from foul weeds, this seed is 
strictly top-grade. Tests over 99 per cent pure alfalfa, plus 
a small percentage of red clover. The price is right! The 
quality is recommended as stated above. By Government 
regulation this seed is stained 1 per cent green.
