Lasting Stand of ALFALFA ... 
“NORTHWEST”? ALFALFA 
(U. S. Verified Origin) 
Here it is—the great Alfalfa that made its reputation in the 
Rockies and has made hosts of permanent friends in the East. 
This seed comes from the hardiest, best yielding strains pro- 
duced either in Montana, Utah, Idaho, or other northwestern 
states. It’s vigorous because it has to be. Real “Northwest’’— 
and Government tags on each bag tell you exactly which state 
your seed comes from. Especially cleaned and tested, freed 
froin noxious weeds, this is the seed that has been producing 
for 5, 7, even 9 years, and still making many full loads at every 
cutting. No wonder so many thousands of Eastern alfalfa men 
are putting their money into this Hoffman seed. 
Some farmers even report that they have good pasturage left 
over after their third cutting. That’s what you call a crop 
that warrants enthusiasm. And everywhere we hear new stories 
about its productiveness. 
If you ask us which seed to sow, this is the alfalfa we recom- 
mend highest. The difference in price between this seed and 
so-called ‘‘Northwest’”’ runs only a few cents per acre. And the 
difference in the cash value of the crops you get will repay you 
hundreds of times over. For remember, you'll be planting 
anywhere from 12 to 30 cuttings. The productiveness of such 
seed is the true measure of its value. 
FERTILIZING ALFALFA 
Alfalfa seeded in good soil where manure has been applied 
will get off to a better start if given 300 to 400 Ibs. of super- 
phosphate. An 0-14-6 formula is advisable where littl manure 
has been applied recently. If the soil is not very rich, use a 
2-12-6 or 4-16-4 complete fertilizer. After it has been mown 
one or more years, alfalfa usually profits from early spring 
top dressings of 300 lbs., or superphosphate, 0-14-6. Always 
remember, too, that a successful alfalfa stand needs lime— 
and plenty of it! 
“I am sending you a picture 
of my Northwest alfalfa. 1 
like it much better than my 
other alfalfa. This is second 
year.”—Frank Burger, Cam- 
bridge Springs, Pa. 
“We were very much pleased 
with our ‘G’ Hybrid. The 
fodder was excellent. We 
never saw anything to equal 
it in quality or quantity. We 
had it planted on low ground 
where it stood in water for 
weeks this summer during 
cool weather, and still came 
through with a good yield.”— 
J. Curtis Browell, Hopewell, 
Pa.
