“Enclosed please find a snapshot 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.”

ORCHARD GRASS (14 lbs. per bu.) 
Hardy, tall, leafy, nourishing grass for Hay or Pasture. 
Grows well anywhere—on any soil. Stands drought. One 
of the earliest Spring grasses—lasts well into the fall. Cut 
Hay when in bloom—otherwise it gets too woody. Stands 
close cropping. Grows in tufts or bunches. Lasts for years. 
Sow 30 pounds per acre. 
MEADOW FESCUE (24 lbs. per bu.) 
Often called English Blue. It is not like the Kentucky 
Blue, however. Grows anywhere but does better on low, 
damp locations. Comes early—lasts through the season. 
Stands dry or freezing weather. A hardy grass. Grows 2 
to 3 feet high. Fine for Meadows. Sow 40 lbs. per acre.

LAWN 
SEED 
This is seed that is made to produce a good lawn . . . not 
a mixture of cheap-quality seeds that must compete in the 
matter of price-per-pound with so much of the so-called 
Lawn Seed that is on today’s markets. 
Hoffman’s Lawn Seed is a blend of fine-leaved, hardy 
grasses that lives through severe Winters, stands steady use, 
and keeps a good appearance. ... If carefully sown on 
good soil, it will produce a fine lawn, even, fine in texture. 
You sow this seed with the assurance that you are sowing 
the best to be had. Wish you could see the many fine lawns 
produced with this seed. 
Hoffman SHADY LAWN Seed is a combination of 
special grass seeds whose growth is adapted to shady places. 
The fancy BENT GRASS Seed, in top quality, is also on 
hand at all times. . . . Where continuous care can be 
given, and conditions are favorable, splendid results are 
obtained from its use. See Price List.
