A quick glance at official reports would indicate the 
world supply ample. But Alfalfa seed produced in 
so many sections is not at all adapted for sowing in 
the Northeast. Prettiest seed, lowest-cost seed, is the 
easiest available . . . but unfit! The desirable-source 
seed is the problem. Hard to get. In big demand. 
Readers know the great value of Alfalfa . . . its 
high content of protein, calcium, riboflavin, caro- 
tene. How it outranks so many other crops. Val- 
uable as hay or ground meal. High carrying capacity 
as nutritious pasture. Fine soil-building properties. 
“NORTHWEST” Brand Alfalfa Seed 
On thousands of farms in the East and North, Hoff- 
man Quality “Northwest” brand seed has provided 
heavy cuttings from long-lasting stands. Seed from 
states of the Rocky Mountain area or similar cold 
sections; the U. S. Verified Origin tag coming to you 
on every bag shows the state in which your seed 
was grown. Seed that came from robust, sturdy 
parent plants . . . plants that had to be rugged 
enough to come through the exceptionally tough 
winters, the short seasons, and the other adverse 
conditions that are the rule in those areas. 
This seed is from strains known to be dependable 
heavy yielders of quality hay. High tonnage. Clean, 
thrifty stands, 4, 5 years old, even older, have not 
been unusual. Large, vigorous root systems are 
produced to resist cold winters, and to send up pro- 
lific growth in the summers. 
You are protected by the rigid Hoffman require- 
ments of quality, purity, and growth. 
Inoculate Alfalfa Seed . . . Always! 
Neglect of proper inoculation helps cause AI- 
falfa crop failures. Inoculation gives Alfalfa 
extra vigor . . . the boost it needs for a head 
start in the race with weeds. Pays dividends 
not only from better Alfalfa crops, but also 
extra dividends from better crops that follow 
on that soil. Increases protein content of Al- 
falfa hay. (Read page 17.)
