Hoffman’s 
Seed Wheat Pays! 
It is a fact known far and wide that Lan¬ 
caster County, Pennsylvania, is where winter 
wheat does its best. . . . This same Lancaster 
County is the home of Hoffman’s heavy- 
yielding Seed Wheats. The varieties here 
offered are those which are, and have been, 
doing the best over a period of years. Thou¬ 
sands of farmers in eastern United States 
now know for a fact that it has paid them, 
and paid them well, to sow Hoffman Wheat. 
They get more bushels. They get clean wheat. 
They don’t get cockle, rye, weeds, or foul 
matter. They get seed from crops that has 
showed no smut. Healthy seed. They get 
well-graded seed. They don’t have to sow it 
so heavy per acre. They save seed. A peck 
to a half-bushel less per acre. That saves 
them money. 
This New-Hoffman-Seed question means 
just this. ... If you gain only one extra 
bushel to the acre, your new seed will be paid 
for. That’s all! But you won’t stop with such 
a small increase. You’ll more likely gain 5 or 
8 or 10, or even more bushels per acre. Tliat’s 
where Hoffman s Wheat is going to pay you. 
SOWING PLUMP SEED 
Of a hardy, vigorous, prolific variety—is one 
thing necessary to produce abundant wheat 
crops. . . # From good Hoffman Seed, 35 
bushels per acre can be grown as easily as can 
25 bushels, from the regular run of uncleaned 
seed which too many folks still sow!
