Suggestions on Ordering Alfalfa 
1. Don’t delay. Order today. 2. Specify second and third choices. 
The supply of Alfalfa seed is the shortest it has ever been since 
the crop has become widely used. The demand for seed will be 
enormous and therefore some of the grades and lots offered in 
this book may become sold out. Therefore we suggest that you 
make a second or third selection when ordering or authorize us 
to make a substitution if necessary. In case of substitution we 
will send you the nearest to your order and refund you if the 
price is lower or write you for the balance if only a higher priced 
lot is available. 
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. See what other farmers say about 
it below. -

HARDY and HEAVILY PRODUCTIVE 
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 “Big Krop,” ete. 
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 
that is suited to corn-belt conditions.

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. Arismeir 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. 

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 1bu. size, 50c; 21% 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 
Production in some of the big seed producing sections was 
very short. There is practically no carryover seed. The de- 
mand is enormous. While prices may not advance much due 
to government ceiling the question will be whether you can 
get seed at all later in season. It will pay you to buy now if 
you want alfalfa seed. 
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 crop. Fif- 
teen pounds per acre is plentv. Do not cover over half an 
inch. Roll, if possible after seeding. Inoculate your seed.
