Corn-Belt Alfalfa Is Used in Every State in the Nation 
CORN:-BEEmt 
This is the type of alfalfa that is very 
popular throughout the Corn-Belt because 
of its heavy production and its winter 
hardiness. Its use however, is by no means 
confined to the corn-belt. Northern states 
like Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin 
use this character of seed with very satis- 
factory results and customers in eastern, 
western and southern states like it very 
much.

We sell this seed in different grades and pack 
gem the greatest possible measure 
ay of value into each lot. From 
the lowest to the highest price

falfa. If you demand the finest

ALFALKA 
Save $2.00 to $5.00 per Bu. 
Berry’s buying set-up and organization operated extensively 
last fall in the main sections where hardy alfalfa seed is _pro- 
duced. We were successful.in operating to unusually good ad- 
vantage and that is one reason why we can sell at these low 
prices. It will be difficult to secure additional supplies. Some 
lots cannot be replaced. We cannot urge you too strongly to 
buy Alfalfa seed early. Prices will be protected until_lots are 
sold or market advances make duplication impossible. If we do 
not save you at least $2.00 to $5.00 per bu., return shipment for 
refund of your money plus freight charges. 

GRADES of CORN BELT ALFALFA 
Berry’s Corn-Belt Alfalfa comes in four regular 
grades of common. These grades are separated 
largely according to color and size of berries. Read 
page 9. There are also special lots of Corn-Belt 
designated by names such as “Honest John,” etc. 
We also have the Corn-Belt Grimm such as our 
World Brand on page 31 and Lots Bonafide and 
Bed Rock. We have found our Corn-Belt Alfalfa 
hardy and heavy in production. See money saving 
prices on regular grades on page 40 and get seed 

Joseph Ash of Otsego, Michigan: ‘“‘We got some 
of your World Brand Corn-Belt Alfalfa 2 or 3 
years ago. It is doing so good we want some 
more.”’ 
C. A. Foster of Sparta, Ill., says he bought 
some of our cheapest Corn-Belt Alfalfa 5 years 
ago. Still going strong. Has another piece of 
ground ready for more. 
Ed Phienheimer of Shipshewanna, Ind., has used 
Corn-Belt Alfalfa for seven years. Orders more. 
Says to send it whatever the price may be. 
Ivan R. Arnsmeir of Juda, Wis., reports our 
Corn-Belt Alfalfa gave him four cuttings when 
his neighbors got only two. He had our lowest 
priced grade, 
Wm. Koutny of Brandon, Iowa, states he ob- 
tained a fine stand. Lots better than some who 
paid five bucks per bushel more for their seed. 
Oscar M. Hub of Riley, Wis., says the four 
bushels of Corn-Belt alfalfa was seeded with ex- 
cellent results. Well pleased. 
Frank L. Wilcox, Galloway, Ohio, wants an- 
other bushel and a half like the Corn-Belt he got 
the year before which gave very good results. 
Wm. S. Van Tassel, Antwerp, N. Y., says: “I 
secured a wonderful stand last year of your seeds, 
especially of your alfalfa.’’ 
Elmer Broedlow of Jefferson, Wisconsin, writes: 
“Just wish to say the alfalfa I purchased of you 
last year withstood the drought and ice of last 
winter. My seeding is excellent although some 
report their seedings are dead again this year. 
North Liberty, Indiana. 
Dear Sirs: Your seeds are the best 
I ever used. The Yellow Biennial 
Sweet Clover is certainly the best. 
Every seed came up. I am well sat- 
isfied and can recommend your seeds 
highly. 
Yours truly, 
ELDEN KANE. 
that is suited to corn-belt conditions. 
INOCULATE ALFALFA SEED 
Better Stands—Heavier Growth 
Alfalfa gathers nitrogen from the air. That is 
why it builds up soils and contains so much pro- 
tein. But it can do this only when the plant’s roots 
have certain bacteria working in them. You can 
get these bacteria by inoculating your seed. These 
bacteria can thus enter the roots and form nodules 
as soon as the seed sprouts. Then your plants 
will be healthier, stronger and grow larger. Plants 
that are not inoculated often turn yellow and die. 
Inoculation may mean the difference between suc- 
cess and failure. 
Berry’s Nodule Germ Inoculation is inexpensive. It is 
easy to apply. Full simple directions with each package. 
Price % bu. size, 30c; 1 bu. size, 50c; 2%4 bu. size, 90c. 
If this inoculation does not form nodules on the roots of 
your plants we will refund the price of the Nodule Germ. 
Market Conditions 
Too much wet weather during the seed growing season 
caused seed pods to fail to fill. This was true over a large 
area that generally produces a lot of*alfalfa seed. In addi- 
tion there came the hardest early freeze in 60 years in Sep- 
tember. That caught a lot of immature seed and killed it. 
Alfalfa seed is short this year. 
Sowing Alfalfa 
Get your seed bed as fine and well packed as possible. Sow 
a little later than Red Clover with a very light nurse crop. 
Better still a little later seeding after some advance harrowing 
to kill weeds. In such case sow without a nurse gov Fif- 
teen pounds per acre is plenty. Do not cover over alf an 
inch. Roll, if possible after seeding. Inoculate your seed.
