TWO MIXTURES 
In spite of the shortage of good seed, we will con- 
tinue to offer these two famous Hoffman mixtures 
as long as seed is available. Price is somewhat 
lower. Quality is good. Clean of noxious weeds. 
ECONOMICAL MIXTURE 
(About ¥2 Red Clover, % Alsike and %4 Timothy.) 
Made up mostly from lots of mixed clovers and 
timothy produced in this mixed condition—hence 
the lower cost. Proportions vary slightly, some- 
times even a little alfalfa or other clovers are 
present, but all of the mixture will be productive 
of good hay and pasture. We've sold this mixture 
for years and folks certainly like it. 
ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY MIXED 
The Alsike content in this mixture usually runs 20 
per cent or better. It makes an ideal mixture be- 
cause both seeds will thrive on poorer ground 
and both ripen together. This is particularly im- 
portant for hay, for it has been proved that the 
protein content is higher when cut at the right 
blooming stage—see page 10. A and T has been 
producing fine stands of hay for many years— 
chiefly because we have never deviated from the 
high quality of the seeds in the mixture. This is 
no year to try to save money on seed for feeding 
crops, so even though the price of this mixture is 
lower, we offer you A and T Mixture solely on its 
ability to produce good crops of high protein hay. 
Don't try to compare it with seed which sells cheap 
because its germination is doubtful, or because it 
hasn't been thoroughly cleaned.

HOFFMAN LADINO CLOVER 
The story on Ladino is no different this year from 
all other clovers—supply is extremely short. This 
is very unfortunate, considering the many friends 
it has made the past few years by its ability to pro- 
duce rich stands of needed hay or for quick re- 
covery pasture. Its usual use is for enriching a 
mixture of other grasses, and you will find recom- 
mendations covering such mixtures on page 26. 
Ladino is a mammoth perennial type of White 
Clover. Its roots are shallow but vigorous and 
send up large leaves on sturdy stems. It has be- 
come the backbone of the pasture on many dairy 
farms because it yields more heavily and recovers 
more quickly than the smaller clovers. It has one 
other splendid characteristic—its runner type root 
crowds out weeds. 
The many enthusiastic letters we have received 
speak well for the quality of Hoffman Ladino Seed. 
Practically every writer mentions his amazement 
at the vigor of Ladino in pasture recovery. Many 
folks have noted that cattle show a liking for it. 
The seed we have is of good quality, thoroughly 
cleaned, high germination. But ... we just don't 
have half enough. So if you want Ladino seed— 
sit down right now and fill out your order. 
“MIDLAND” AND “CUMBERLAND” 
The two new Red Clovers. Both bred for high re- 
sistance to “stem-spot’’ disease. Midland for 
higher altitudes. Cumberland for lower locations. 
Supply almost unobtainable. If in stock, will be 
quoted on price list.
