*3 Well, I must tell you about 
my success last year. I had a 
wonderful catch of clover and I am 
more than pleased with your seed. 
The drought was very bad here, but it 
held its own. This winter has been 
very hard on the young grain. But 
Hoffman’s Clover is still holding its 
own so far. Some of my neighbors 
were very sorry—they had to plow up 
their last spring seeding.” 
William H. Stiver, 
Lajose, Pa. 
★ 4 “Over 494 tons of clover hay 
per acre.” 
says Al. C. Demmy, Harrisburg, Pa. 
This crop grown by Mr. Demmy cer¬ 
tainly paid him. He says he is sure 
that good seed has a great deal to do 
with it. Mr. Demmy uses Hoffman's 
''Extra’’ Quality Farm Seeds every year. 
"Clover just where you want it.” A 
good stand of young clover, like this 
picture shows, is a joy to any farmer 
when he sees it starting like this in his 
wheat field. Hoffman’s "Extra” Quality 
Clover Seed makes stands like this right 
along. 
RED CLOVER 
“EXTRA” QUALITY 
"How much is clover seed?” That’s what so many people ask— 
and it’s about all they think of—the price! But what a mistake! 
There’s a whole lot more to buying seed than just the price! 
Your Grade A milk brings more money than other milk. . . . 
Purebred heifers or horses or hogs always sell at higher prices over 
scrubs. Why? Just one reason. They’re worth more! And there 
,.re more kinds and qualities of clover seed to be had on the open 
market than there are fleas on the old dog. Bargain prices and 
True Quality clover seed just can’t go together! 
There are about sixteen million clover seeds in a bushel . . . 
now just think. Suppose you can buy clover seed for $2 a bushel 
under Hoffman’s price. . . . And suppose it would have just 2 
per cent weeds in it . . . that’s 320,000 weed seeds ... all right 
—sow that seed at say 5 quarts to the acre—and right there you’d 
be putting 50,000 weeds on each acre! Sounds bad, is bad—but 
many a bushel of clover seed has been sowed that had more than 
2 per cent foul stuff in it! And then men wonder why they can’t 
grow better crops! Weeds take a great big toll out of the soil— 
they certainly are robbers. 
Get a Better Stand of Clover—It Costs so Little 
Let the bargain-man sell his seed to somebody else. Don’t you 
sow it! Sow clean clover seed! Even if Hoffman’s Seed would 
cost you $2 a bushel more (but it hardly ever does) . . . why 
that’s only 30 cents or so an acre more! And how far will 30 
cents go toward pulling an acre of weeds—not to think of the 
good stuff they suck out of the ground—that the young clover 
plants need to get started right! And Hoffman "Extra” Quality 
Red Clover is clean—tests for years have been averaging 99.50 
per cent and upwards toward the perfect 100 per cent mark. . . . 
Positively the cleanest, soundest seed—the very cream of the crop. 
Protect yourself this year. Sow Hoffman’s "Extra” seed. Every 
lot tested for purity, for sound growth, and every bag tagged— 
showing the result of tests. . . . And then, too, you’ll get hardy, 
suitable northern grown—home-grown seed. The U. S. Govern¬ 
ment verifies its source. And a government tag on each bag tells 
you just where the seed was grown! That’s mighty important to 
you—it s real protection. No use sowing unknown seed—seed 
from sections that won’t do well—or stand your winters. ... Be 
sure—sow Hoffman’s Clover Seed—it will give a good account 
of itself for you—and next year maybe you’ll send in a picture, 
too—that will show how well Hoffman Seed paid you—same as 
did these men that the red stars in this book point you to. 
★5 “Your clover was fine and I had 
a good stand and lots of hay. I 
am very much pleased with Hoffman’s 
Seeds. I never fail to get a stand of 
clover.”
