TIMOTHY 
Hoffman “Farmers’ Choice” Timothy 
seed is always dependable. Live, 
hardy—sure germination. Cleanest of 
the crop. Purity tests through the 
years average around the 99% per 
cent mark. Never costs you more 
than seed of unknown merit. Put full 
confidence in this top-quality seed. 
Supply is good ... quality fine... 
cost low. 
Timothy gets along so well with 
the legume family . . . the clovers, 
alfalfa, Ladino. Thrives with pasture 
grasses. Too much timothy in certain 
seedings could cause overcrowding. 
“ECONOMICAL MIXTURE’”’ 
(About 2 red clover, 1% alsike, 4 
timothy.) . . . While the shortened 
supply of clovers will permit offering 
this combination, here will be a good 
buy. Very popular, through many 
years. Proportions may vary slightly, 
sometimes a little alfalfa, sweet or 
other clovers may be present. The 
blend is composed of lots of seed 
sometimes harvested in this mixed 
condition—hence the lower cost. 
Quality is good—free from foul weed 
seeds—of sound growth. 

“ALSIKE and TIMOTHY’”’ 
Usually averages around 20 per cent 
alsike seed . . . might be slightly 
under that proportion at times this 
year. Always represents good quality 
seed, and at a saving under what the 
separate ingredients would cost. 
These grasses do very well together. 
Both thrive on poorer soils. Are ideal 
partners in lower or moist locations. 
Ripen together. Of course they both 
do well on good ground. This offering 
may help some folks in revising their 
regular formulas. It adds a little alsike 
that might not be available otherwise. 
“WHITE DUTCH’’ CLOVER 
Low grower, spreading, withstands 
trampling, high in protein. A favorite 
with bee men. Advisable in pastures. 
Popular for home lawn use. There 
may be certain lots of white clover 
this year containing alsike clover 
seed. Consult price list. 
‘““WILD WHITE’’ CLOVER 
Low-growing pasture clover. Pro- 
duces heavy root formation. Long- 
lasting. Adapted for sowing in com- 
bination with the standard pasture 
grasses, especially in Northern areas. 
For big crops of fine hay like the one 
pictured below ... proper soil fertility 
through liming, fertilizing, manuring .. . 
plus Hoffman Quality CLEAN clover 
seed, treated with Hoffman Inoculant. 
Yes, cleaner hay and more of it! 


SWEET CLOVER 
Great soil builder. When turned un- 
der, adds much organic matter. Im- 
proves water-holding capacity of soil. 
Often used to cover bare spots—to 
thicken the stands on thin pastures. 
Use 15 lbs. Rye Grass with 5 to 10 lbs. 
Sweet Clover. 
Illinois folks advise that if sweet 
clover is sown in the late summer, it 
won't get too large a root system be- 
fore the following spring—hence will 
make not-too-large plants that are de- 
pendable for quite good hay. If cut 
in time, before getting too heavy in 
the stem, has filled the emergency 
hay role very acceptably. Sweet 
clover furnishes great acreages of 
pasture in the Central states. 
This biennial strain lasts two years. 
Planted in the spring, makes good 
growth by fall. Will re-seed itself if 
left standing. Provides emergency 
pasture till other grazing areas are 
ready. 
““YELLOW-BLOSSOM TYPE” 
Like the white-blossom strains, this 
yellow-blossom type is a perennial. 
Smaller top growth—2 to 3 feet the 
first year, higher the second. Fine 
stems, many prefer it as hay or for 
pasture.
