Your seed requirements, plus those 
of your friends and neighbors, will

when you order on this Hoffman Co¬ 
operative Plan. Use it to the limit 
... it is intended to help you! 
No wonder Ray Oswalt is wearing such a broad 
smile. Don't you agree that the good hay 
crop he is putting away has something to do 
with it? 
HEALTHY . . . VIGOROUS 
SOUND . . . AND SURE 
How To Save Money On Clover Seed . . . 
But Save It The Right Way 
Take Red Clover for instance. Where a bushel of seed is 
generally sown on 5 or 6 acres. Suppose you look all 
around for prices—and then order the lowest-price seed. 
Suppose you buy a bushel of it . . . and save $1.50 that 
way. Yes, you have saved 25 cents to 30 cents an acre . . . 
BUT! 
Now let’s look at this saving of yours and see how much 
you actually saved. 
Let us suppose it’s next summer. Strange plants and 
weeds appear in your grass-field. It takes time and money 
to get rid of these weeds. 
HOW FAR WILL YOUR $1.50 (THAT YOU THOUGHT 
YOU SAVED) GO THEN TOWARDS PAYING YOU FOR 
THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU SPEND IN GETTING 
RID OF DANGEROUS WEEDS IN YOUR FIELD? 
Or worse, suppose instead of a good covering of clover, 
there is just a thin stand—or many bare spots. How far 
would that $1.50 go toward buying the extra hay you are 
short? Or still worse, maybe the following winter the clover 
disappears. Wouldn’t that $1.50 cheerfully be spent then 
if it could get that true, hardy, northern-grown seed that you 
thought had been bought in the first place? 
The true saving comes in at the crop end of the line. In 
the shape of better, cleaner, surer stands of grass. The very 
small extra cost (and most times it’s no difference at all) of 
Hoffman true Extra-Quality Seed never figures more than 
those 25 cents or 30 cents an acre—and it’s worth it many 
times over! Bargain seeds never did save money.
