TIMOTHY SEED OF TESTED PURITY 
No use to speak of the uses of timothy here. It’s one of the 
most familiar of crops. But we DO want to stress the fact 
that Hoffman’s "Farmers’ Choice" Brand is quite different 
from the average timothy seed. It’s the cleanest, plumpest, 
most vigorous seed of the crop, as you’ll discover in the extra 
yield your mower will cut. In 30 years, tests for purity have 
run around the 99% per cent mark. It’s always free from 
weeds, of sound germination. Yet prices compare favorably 
with timothy of ordinary quality, its slight premium paying 
you back, many times over, in heavier returns per acre. 
All northeastern Experiment 
Stations are interested in grass 
silage projects. Average find¬ 
ings so far reveal that a 
quality crop containing 65 per 
cent to 75 per cent moisture, 
supplemented with the proper 
amount of preservative, will 
result in most useful rough- 
age for live stock. Experi¬ 
ments have been conducted 
with ewes, steers, horses, as 
well as dairy cattle. 
ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY (Mixed) 
Alsike" and "Timothy,’’ mixed, have proven themselves ideal 
partners, well suited to each other, thriving in lower ground 
not at all suited to many other grasses. Ripening close to¬ 
gether, they make very desirable hay. 
In this popular mixture, the "Alsike” content is usually 
right around 20 per cent. We offer you good, full-bodied, 
plump seed, free from noxious weeds and sound in germina¬ 
tion, at a price which still saves you money yet gives you 
every assurance for a good crop. It is as different from the 
common under-run seed that sells at much lower prices as 
a plump walnut from a dried-up one. See Price List. 
“I had a very good crop of 
wheat from the seed I bought 
from you last fall and am 
more than pleased with your 
grass seed. Especially the 
Economical Mixture. Will be 
in the market for it next 
spring. Have been using your 
seed for the last 8 years.”—

A WEED THAT WARNS 
Red sorrel, a common weed, 
may well be called the farm¬ 
er's friend. It is nature's red 
flag, to warn the farmer that 
something is wrong with his 
soil. Where this weed per¬ 
sists, the land needs lime, 
fertilizer or drainage. Testing 
the soil is the right answer 
when sorrel shows up, and 
then applying the right rem¬ 
edy to put it into right shape 
again.
