“Your genuine Grimm Al¬ 
falfa used on our farms has 
been cut three times each 
year, and has been most sat¬ 
isfactory in every way. We 
have no trouble when we 
seed same, and it lasts very 
well, indeed, for four years.” 
— Wm. H. Conyngham, 
Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 
“I have sowed your Grimm 
Alfalfa seed. You cannot 
overrate this alfalfa. It 
grows just the same in dry 
weather as in wet. If you 
get a good stand you never 
get done making hay—this 
is all I hate .”—John A.

(At Right)—Notice the plump, 
uniform quality of this Hoff¬ 
man "Northwest" Alfalfa Seed. 
Of course, it's enlarged from 
actual size—but within each 
seed is carried a fine future 
crop for the farmer who 
sows it.

HOFFMAN'S "GRIMM" ALFALFA 
(U. S. Verified Origin) 
Among the hardy alfalfas that produce better crops, especially 
in the North and at high altitudes, "Grimm” is a leader that 
withstands wide weather extremes. Winters through condi¬ 
tions that kill other types. Roots often branch out, crowns are 
set low, and this protects the plants. 
You can be sure you’re getting this genuine "Grimm” when 
you get Hoffman’s. Our seed comes direct from the produc¬ 
ing sections. Is U. S. Verified. Affirmed to be the true type 
under affidavit by the growers. 
If you must combat severe weather conditions, here is the 
seed for you. Just make sure your soil is well prepared and 
has enough lime. 
"CERTIFIED” GRIMM ALFALFA 
There are many grades of Grimm Alfalfa, but Hoffman’s is 
not "just another.” From field to you, every bag of seed is 
under the supervision of the State Department, sealed at the 
threshing machine, checked and resealed through all cleaning 
operations, and finally tagged and "Certified” on all details 
as your assurance of dependability. 
"CANADIAN VARIEGATED” ALFALFA 
Seed from still farther North, grown successfully in Ontario, 
Canada, for half a century. About equal to "Grimm” in 
hardiness and production. If you have severe weather, it may 
be worth trying, as the price is moderate. And remember’ 
As Hoffman seed, it is clean, free of weeds—the only kind 
we sell regardless of price. 
KANSAS ALFALFA SEED 
(U. S. Verified Origin)

because seed from Kansas has to be hardy. To withstand 
Kansas conditions that kill weaklings before they reach the 
seed-producing state. At any rate, this seed is genuine 
Kansas, Government tagged, dependable, thoroughly cleaned. 
We recommend it on the basis of excellent results enjoyed by 
our customers.
