KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
America’s best known cultivated pasture grass. Grows anywhere 
in the eastern and northern states. Kentucky Blue is one of our 
hardiest perennial grasses. It spreads rapidly by means of its run¬ 
ning rootlets and it does especially well in limestone soils. It is a 
low' growing grass compared to some others. It rarely exceeds two 
feet. It is a slow grower. Sow other varieties with Kentucky Blue 
if you want a pasture plot quickly. Sow about 40 pounds per acre. 
Fourteen pounds equal one bushel. 
RED TOP 
The grass that grows under almost all conditions—will grow on 
wet land. Thrives on sour soils. Resists drought. Is a fast and 
vigorous grower. Sow in spring or fall. Plant Red Top and it 
will soon spread and supplant other grasses. In certain sections 
of New England, Red Top is the principal Hay plant sown. Good 
for pasture mixtures, being a fast, sure, steady grower. Sow 10 
to 12 pounds per acre. Hoffman’s Red Top comes 32 pounds to 
the bushel.

Seeds 
+ 72 “Enclosed please find a snap- 
^ shot of a few of my cows in 
that wonderful pasture. This is a field 
into which I sowed the seed which I 
ordered from you last year. It certainly 
was a great pasture. All my neighbors 
asked me where I got the seed. I told 
them ‘you can always depend on A. H. 
Hoffman, Inc.’ The grass grew very 
thick and fast. The seed corn which I 
ordered from you this spring was also 
a great success. So I am advising my 
friends and neighbors to buy all their 
seeds from A. H. Hoffman, Inc.”

★ 75 “Hoffman’s seeds have always 
been satisfactory. I will not 
hesitate to tell my friends and neigh¬ 
bors about them and try to get up 
joint orders. There is no better method 
of convincing a farmer of the merit of 
a seed house than by showing him the 
success and satisfaction a friend has 
gained by dealing with the firm. It is 
a pleasure to deal with your firm and 
I should like to see my neighbors en¬ 
joy the satisfaction of securing their 
seed orders from Hoffman’s.”
