More Than a Name! 
Hoffman Quality “Northwest’’ has 
always been more than a name, It 
has been a promise that when you 
sow this seed, you are assuring your- 
self of heavy cuttings from long-last- 
ing stands. Back in those ‘‘good old 
days,’ 4%2 and more tons of hay per 
acre weren't causing Hoffman cus- 
tomers any surprise. Clean, thrifty 
stands, four, five years old, even 
older, were not unusual. One secret 
of the success of Hoffman Quality 
“Northwest” has been in the large, 
vigorous root-systems produced, to 
send up prolific growth in the sum- 
mer and to resist cold winters. 
Low-Cost Feed 
Alfalfa can be one of the cheapest 
good feeds on your farm—or it can 
be among the most expensive. One 
big difference is right in the seed you 
sow. You can't tell quality-differences 
by looking at the seed. That shows 
up only later ... only after you've 
put in your fertilizer, labor and time. 
Here, now, is the seed protection for 
your investment .. . Hoffman “North- 
west” alfalfa seed. It comes from the 
right sources. The U. S. Verification 
tags assure added protection. 
Back in those days when Hoftt- 
man “Northwest” alfalfa was 
available, customers used to 
count on consistently heavy 
crops like these —loads_ that 
strained the wagon every cut- 
ting. 
ALFALFA 
is back!

gage your requirements of it now...
