Not the Price Per Bushel 
... But RESULTS—That Count! 
The cost of seed is hut a very small fraction of the cost of most any 
farm crop. . . . Therefore, sow the very best seed your money can buy. . . . 
Of course, everybody says he sells the best . . . and every buyer says he 
wants the best. . . . But what a difference in seed! 
And price-per-bushel is not the thing to go by. . . . This is what counts— 
an extra ton or two of hay from each acre. An extra 10 bushels oats per 
acre—or 15 bushels more corn per acre. That’s where good seed tells! 
Depend on Hoffman’s, and you will be sowing truly good seed—that will in 
the end make money for you. 
SWEET CLOVER SEED 
99.90% Pure by Test

test . . . almost perfect. And fine, 
plump, bright seed it is. New crop, 
of course. May we fill your order? 
“Extra” RED CLOVER 
“Northwest” ALFALFA 
Every buyer of $10 worth or more of Hoffman’s “Extra” 
RED CLOVER “Northwest” ALFALFA actually pays a 
LOWER PRICE per bushel for them than the Price List 
quotes . . . because: 
A $30 order means that you get your seed at $11.01 per bushel. 
A $120 order means that you only pay $10.81 per bushel. 
If the orders you send us during this year (seeds for yourself plus 
the seeds you would order for your neighbors) would add up to $120 
. . . your Clover Seed will cost you only $10.58 per bushel. 
Because, in the above cases, you would take off and SAVE 4%, 
6% or 8% in accordance with the terms of the Hoffman Co-operative 
Money-Saving Plan. 
If you buy only the following (and nothing else all year) 
your actual net cost would figure out to: 
1 
1 %

SUDAN GRASS FOR 
SUMMER PASTURE 
Ask many a farmer what he can 
depend on for a summer pasture, year 
after year, and he’ll answer “Sudan 
Grass.” And when there is a lot of 
hay needed in a pinch and in a 
hurry, Sudan will supply it. Don’t 
cost much money to sow it, either 
. . . 25 to 30 pounds of seed can 
reach for an acre . . . sometimes less, 
sometimes a lot more. Sow Hoffman’s 
Sudan seed for good, even, sure 
stands.
