Beautiful Quality, Highly Productive Alfalfa 
In our opinion this Corn-Belt alfalfa will yield equal to 
the best, and better than a great deal of alfalfa that is 
sown. Under average conditions you should find that it 
will make a taller growth and a considerably heavier yield. 
Customers in states like Wisconsin use very large quan- 
tities of seed like this. They use it in somewhat shorter 
rotation and like it because of its performance. Those dairy 
farmers know a good deal about getting the most seed out 
of an acre. Berry’s World Brand will help you get that too. 
Many agricultural authorities are now recommending 
shorter rotations where Alfalfa is used. This Corn-Belt 
Alfalfa should give ideal results in such a program. 















Very Choice Grade of Corn-Belt Alfalfa 
This grade of alfalfa will bring you exactly the same kind of alfalfa 
that you will get from the World Brand grade described above. It is a 
good serviceable lot. We would term it a medium grade quality. It is 
quite a bit finer grade than the Honest John described on page 22. It is 
not as smooth and uniform as our World Brand Grade, not quite as nice 
in color nor are the berries quite as large. There is a savings of $5.50 
per hundred however, between =these two grades and that is a saving 
worth while. You do not have to sow this at any heavier rate per acre. 
The germination per 100 seeds is not quite so high but you have more 
seed in a pound. When you sow 12 pounds to the 
acre of this you put more seeds per square foot, 
than when you sow the same number of pounds of 
the more expensive quality. That helps to equalize 
the variation in germination. That is why this lot 
is used by a great many of our customers with. very 
satisfactory results. It certainly is a very low price 
for seed that gives this type of satisfaction and is 
a value that we do not believe can be duplicated 
anywhere. It will appeal to thrifty buyers as a 
sound practical value.

The Finest World Brand Grade 
If you desire northwestern grown Alfalfa, you certainly will like this 
very outstanding value. The seed is produced in sections to the north 
and to the west of us. Seed that is produced under these conditions comes 
from plants that have withstood a lot of punishment. In most cases 
they have had to stand heat and drouth, as well as severe cold. All of 
these factors combined together produce a fine very hardy type of 
Alfalfa. You may figure that you require something of this type for your 
particular condition. If so, you will make no mistake in selecting this 
northwestern grown seed. It will run the Corn-Belt stock a very close 
second in production, In fact, under some circum- 
stances it may even outyield it. This is the first 
year in several years that we have been able to offer 
our trade this northwestern stock. Supplies of seed 
have been short. We are glad that we can again 
this year supply you with seed of this character. 
You can be absolutely assured of top quality seed 
in this World Brand grade, and it. is priced to make 
you a very handsome saving on your seed bill. We 
guarantee shipments entirely satisfactory. 

This is the famous Argentine Alfalfa that has been so extensively 
used in this country. Due partly to the difference in price levels 
between that country and ours, we can sell you fine, bright, high 
testing seed at this extremely low price. During the past few years 
there has been large quantities of this seed brought into this coun- 
try, all of this, of course, has to pass the rigid tests required by the 
Federal Seed Law. 4 
Argentine Alfalfa igs nothing new in this country. It has been 
used for many years. Many of the principal seed pro- 
ducing states like Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, ete. 
have used this Argentine seed. Much of the seed that 
comes from those states is: directly produced from 
Argentine stands. One Nebraska farmer writes, “I have 
a field of this Argentine Alfalfa sowed in 1938. It has 
always yielded as good a quality and as large a tonnage 
as any I ever had. For 2 years I had 70 head of hogs in 
this field. Now, in 1945 it has started to 
thin out in a few places, but I am well 
pleased with it.” A Missouri farmer writes 
Dardanelle, Ark. 
Dear Sirs: 
With the experience I’ye had in buying seed} I 
cannot but give a good word for Berry’s. Your seed 
is exactly as represented as to qualify and price, and 
always gives full satisfaction. 
Sincerely, 

Arthur Cote. 

us this past spring, ‘“‘In 1945 I sowed some of your Argentine Alfalfa. 
It has yielded well and has not winter killed. In my estimation it is 
a very desirable strain of alfalfa for this locality.” An Iowa farmer 
writes, “Send me the price of your Argentine Alfalfa, I tried some 
last year and had good luck with it.” Another Iowa farmer says, “I 
wish to report we had the best and most vigorous looking stand of 
Alfalfa from the 2 bushels of Argentine we sowed with our Oats last 
spring, that I can remember of ever having seen.” 
This seed should do as well in corn-belt states as in the more 
western ones. This World Brand Argentine seed is of beautiful 
quality; bright and thoroughly recleaned. You surely will be 
pleased with the quality of this lot at this extremely low price. 
Our supply this year is smaller than it has been, but we are mak- 
ing the price still drastically lower than it was a year ago. It 
was a big bargain then. Now at $5.00 a bushel less money, it ig 
a still greater value. We are making seed history 
with this record breaking, money saving offer on 
genuine Argentine Alfalfa. 
Bangor, Wisc.
