ALSIKE CLOVER 
Here’s a very hardy clover. Produces well on soils that are 
colder and wetter. It withstands acidity well, and does well on 
lands which won’t support other clovers. The seed is small and 
goes far, helping make a lower-cost planting. That’s why so 
many farmers like to mix alsike with red clover at the rate of 
two or three parts of red to one of alsike. 
Hoffman’s “Extra’’ Quality Alsike seed is very well cleaned. 
Represents the very cream of the ctop—strictly fine seeds. . . 
Most Hoffman patrons demand “Extra” seed. It pays them! 
Sometimes we can offer “Economy” Alsike which may contain 
a little White Dutch, Timothy or other crop seed yet carries 
only a low content of weed seed. 
MAMMOTH (SAPLING) CLOVER 
Much like Red Clover, except that it grows taller and coarser. 
It also ripens later and roots deeper, but you can always count 
on its producing a quantity of hay. “It can’t be beat for yield,” 
says one user. The enthusiasm of some farmers can be ex- 
plained by the fact that even though it gives only one crop, 
with perhaps less pasture after cutting, it will often thrive on 
poorer soils, and withstand drought to an exceptional degree. 
“WHITE DUTCH”’—THE OLD-FASHIONED 
PASTURE CLOVER 
Very scarce this year. Consult price list to see if it is available. 
A spreading variety, it withstands trampling, is rich in protein. 
Frequently used with blue grass, because of its value as a 
nitrogen producer. Good nectar producer for bees. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER (KENTISH) 
This perennial clover, produced on old pastures in Kent, Eng- 
land, will be available this year only if listed on our price 
sheet. Supply is extremely short. 

“After using your seed for 5 
years, I find that under the 
droughts and excess winters 
they have shown the best 
germination and given the 
best crops of any seed I’ve 
ever used. I advise every per- 
son buying seed to insist on 
Hoffman’s, the best at the 
lowest prices.” — Eugene 
Campbell, Morris, Pa. 
“I sowed your Sweet Clover 
in oats, 20th of April. It made 
a lot of stuff to plow under 
the beginning of September. 
Then I sowed it to barley and 
alfalfa and have a good set.” 
—Jacob Smith, Lancaster, Pa. 
“This year I only planted 
Hybrid Corn. I feel sure 
open-pollinated corn would 
have been an entire failure. 
The Hybrid has a large root 
system. It husks very easy. It 
has large broad leaves to the 
ground.” — Rush Wagoner, 
Fulton Co., Pa. 
TWO GOOD SEED COMBINATIONS 
This is a very popular mixture made up of two ideal 
partners, “Alsike” and ‘Timothy,’ well suited to 
each other. They both thrive on low ground, not 
suited to many other grasses. And ripen together to 
make very desirable hay. 
Alsike content usually runs 20 per cent or better. 
The whole mixture consists of plump, full-bodied 
seed, sound in germination and free from foul weeds 
and contamination. The price saves you money, yet 
the seed gives you every assurance of a good crop. 
No comparison with run-of-the-mill cheap seed which 
sells cheap because it’s dirty, and often of doubtful 
growth. ... No question about it—qualily seed pays! 
And you can depend on Hoffman for quality seed. 
. . Our 42-year record must be maintained!
