“101 Bushels Oats per Acre" 
says A. L. Shaffer, Brookville, Penna. 
A crop of oats that makes anywhere near the 
high yield reported by Mr. Shaffer certainly 
makes money for its owner. . . . And there 
have been many other successes of this sort, 
among Hoffman patrons—especially among 
users of the 
Hoffman "ShadelancT' Strains 
Two of these splendid varieties are offered 
this year—quality of seed is excellent; and 
prices, compared to those of other varieties, 
were never so low! 
“Shadeland Victory” 
For more than twenty years these Shadeland varieties of Oats have 
been making a reputation for heavy yields. Not only in their 
home country, the far northwestern States, but wherever sown in 
eastern United States. “Shadeland Victory” is among the leaders 
of these fine oats; leaders in yield, weight of grain, style of berry, 
and feeding value. 
“Shadeland Victory” is an oats of extra merit. Among the first 
varieties to be ready for the binder. Makes stalks of good length. 
One special trait of this oats is its ability to stand up well—the 
straw is stiff. And our patrons want this in any oats they farm. 
Right here must be told that “Shadeland Victory” is one of the 
heaviest-yielding oats grown. Splendid records have been made 
right along. Between 90 and 95 bushels per acre in many cases. 
When you look at this seed you are at once taken with its ap¬ 
pearance. The grains are beautiful—nice large, plump, and uni¬ 
formly white. The seed is heavy. When the hull is removed, you 
will find the kernel inside to be extra large and heavy. This makes 
for an oats of greatest feeding value. 
Our patrons should be quick to order “Shadeland Victory.” 
. . . They have a chance this year never offered before ... a 
chance to buy this worthy oats, of exceptional yielding ability, 
at a price which is but very little more than other less-famous varie¬ 
ties. Any investment you make in “Shadeland Victory”—and we 
urge you strongly to sow it—will surely return you a fine profit. 
Order early. See Price List—and remember, you save a percentage 
on Seed Oats and all other Hoffman Seeds (just as large a per¬ 
centage as you choose to save), because of the Hoffman Co¬ 
operative Money-Saving Plan. 
“ Shadeland Climax” 
For 18 years a favorite because it is first in yield—first in earli¬ 
ness—first in weight of grain and also the most beautiful white 
oats that can be grown. Here’s what successful farmers say about
