The Alfalfa That Satisfies Thousands 
Berry’s “Corn Belt” Alfalfa is very popular with our trade because 
of its heavy yields. It also has winter hardiness. We call it “Corn 
Belt’”’ because it is so widely used in the main corn growing sec- 
tions. Its use is by no means confined to this area. Customers in 
Northern states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota use seed 
of this character with highly satisfactory results. Eastern and 
southern states like it too, It generally outyields the far northern 
grown type. 
Note thes reports below from some of our customers, They are 
typical of many letters we get. They indicate further how widely 
this is used. Unless you feel that your soil or climatic conditions 
require an extra hardy strain we suggest “Corn Belt” as a depend- 
able kind to sow. It is economical, You will find big savings in 
the seed. Read descriptions; Check prices. Get our samples,’ Com- 
pare values. You get your money’s worth and “then some” in Corn- 
Belt Alfalfa. 

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS REPORT 
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, Wisc., 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 obtained a fine stand. Lots better than 
some who paid five bucks per bu. more for their seed. 
Oscar M. Hub of Riley, Wis., says the four bushels of Corn Belt Alfalfa was 
seeded with excellent results. Well pleased. 
Frank L. Wilcox, Galloway, Ohio, wants another bushel and a half like the Corn 
Belt he got the year before which gave him 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.” 
Loren M. Cocklin, Ridgeway, Mo.: “I bought your World Brand Corn Belt 
Alfalfa in 1935. It has produced better than any other alfalfa in my 40 years of 
experience with this crop.” 
Anton Fleck, Jr... New Ulm, Minn.: ‘I have been a satisfied alfalfa seed cus- 
tomer for the past ten years.” 
Mrs. Orpha O. Doyle, Continental, Ohio: “The seed we get from your Company 
we praise highly and you ought to see the Honest John Corn Belt Alfalfa, Others 
get higher priced seed and don’t get the results we get from your seed and the 
beautiful hay we had to put in the barn and the cattle loved it. Off 1 acre we 
loaded by hand and got all we could put on a large wagon, 4 loads of Honest John 
in 2 cuttings. Might have got 3 cuttings but the acre lays unhandy and wish not to 
have to plow it up and leave the last cutting to hold the snow and let some go back 
to the ground and everyone says you get most of all 52 acres we till. Honest John 
pays large dividends.” 
S. Major Robert B. Pitts, Littleton, Colo.: “Let me say that I have the most 
beautiful stand of alfalfa ever grown in this state (and that includes State Experi- 
mental Farms) from the seed purchased from you last spring. It was your World 
Brand Corn Belt. Thanks for your service.” 
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 seed- 
ings are dead again this year,”

BY SELECTING YOUR SEED HERE 

GRADES OF CORN BEL 
Berry’s “Corn. Belt” Alfalfa is available in four grades. Lot 
“Honest John” as described on page 22. That is our lowest priced 
grade but a great value. The Planet Brand or Lot “Big Krop” is a 
serviceable quality that gives you a lot for your money. Fancy 
Brand described below is a grade equal to what is often sold as the 
best. If you demand only the very finest extra fancy you /certainly 
will be pleased with Berry’s World Brand. 
In addition to Corn Belt you will find in our stocks the Mid- 
Western grown and Dakota #12. Grimm and Cossack are also avail- 
able. We have limited supplies of the New Ranger and Buffalo 
varieties which are famous for their wilt resistance and winter 
hardiness. See pages 22, 23, 32. 
Extra Savings to Early Buyers 
At the time’ of printing this catalog we have secured: quite large 
stocks of Alfalfa. We hope they will be big enough to take care of 
our trade. This seed was bought so we could make the very low 
prices shown in this book. They are very drastically lower than last 
year. We do not believe it will be possible to duplicate these prices 
later. A big demand plus a possible large export by our Government 
may cause shortages and much higher prices. The early buyer will 
have the largest selection and the lowest prices. 
FANCY BRAND 
A Great Value in Alfalfa 
Fancy Brand is ‘‘Corn Belt” Alfalfa. We often call this ‘‘Deal- 
ers’? Fancy, because it is a quality often sold as ‘‘the best’ in a 
retail way. It might easily pass for the best if you didn’t com- 
pare it with an Extra Fancy Quality like our ‘‘World Brani.”’ 
You pay something extra when you choose the extra Fancy, The 
extra is largely for color and appearance. Berry’s Fancy grade 
has good color and really looks nice. It is not quite as bright as 
World Brand. Because of this slight difference in looks you can 
buy it at $1.50 per bushel less money. That is a worthwhile sav- 
ing that appeals to many buyers. 
Berry’s Fancy Grade Corn Belt Alfalfa has high purity and smooth 
berries. It has good growing power. It is just as winter hardy as 
World Brand. In fact it will do everything the higher priced seed 
will do. The main difference is color and that 
difference isn’t great. : 
Save $5.00 Per Bu. 
As stated Fancy costs’$1.50 per bu. less than 
Berry’s World Brand. When you compare with 
any other prices on seed of similar quality you 
will find savings ranging up to $5.00 per bushel. 
You can buy this lot or any other we sell and we 
guarantee a saving that will please you highly, 
If you don’t think so when you get your seed, 
don’t keep it. .See our suarantes Page 5. We
