This is the cleanest seed that you can buy at any price. 
Remember—it costs no more in time and labor to sow good 
seed like this than it does inferior seeds. Every lot of this 
seed is tested for purity and sound growth. Average tests 
for years have run well over the 99.50 per cent pure mark. 
There is a United States Government tag on each bag in 
order to verify the source of this dependable, northern- 
grown, home-grown seed. That is the kind of protection 
that puts real money in your pocket. Uncle Sam means just 
what he says about it! 
Order your Hoffman’s "Extra” Quality Red Clover Seed 
today and then later on send us a picture of the crop you 
got. Don’t envy farmers who have big crops of clover . . . 
be like them . . . sow Hoffman’s "Extra” Quality Red 
Clover Seed. . . . See Price List. 
"Economy” Brand Red Clover, if in stock, means what 
its name implies—a saving. . . . Supply is bound to be 
short this year. Sometimes seed can be bought that con¬ 
tains a portion of Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, Alsike, or other 
crop seed. This can sell at a lower price. If "Economy” 
Red Clover is all sold when your order arrives, may we 
substitute the value in "Extra” Quality Seed? 
“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.”

“Swapping” Weeds—a Bad Business 
Don’t sow weeds. You don’t have to! But many a 
man will "swap weeds” this Spring and won’t even 
know it! For he’ll buy home-cleaned seed from a 
neighbor, who really thinks it to be clean seed. But 
this farm-to-farm trading of seeds can amount to 
nothing more than swapping weeds—until real scien¬ 
tific cleaning can have a place in the plan. 
Many actual tests of so-called "cleaned” seed still 
show around 2 per cent weeds in the seed. That 
means around 350,000 weeds still in a bushel. There’s 
real danger in sowing such seed. . . . Don’t gamble 
—you can’t afford to. Buy Hoffman’s really clean 
seed—let the other fellow worry with his bargain seed.
