profitable results. See Price List. 
Here are the facts about this seed. ... It is grown in 
northern sections of the old country. It is NOT the south¬ 
ern-grown unadaptable seed, which has caused so much 
crop-failure in America! 
Six years ago, when last sold here, Hoffman patrons sowed 
just about as much of this Adaptable North European seed 
as they did of the home-grown seed. Not one of them has 
yet reported dissatisfaction with it. A canvass was recently 
made among many of these former users. The question was 
asked, 'How did your Hoffman imported clover do for 
you?” The answer nearly always was, "I didn’t notice any 
difference.” 
There is just a certain limited amount of really good- 
quality United States seed to be had this year. Hoffman’s 
will offer it to you as long as it’s possible. Some folks will 
sow nothing but U. S. seed—others will want to save the 
big difference in cost per bushel. They can do this with 
Hoffman’s North European seed. It comes from hardy 
sources over there. Strictly clean of foul weeds. You take 
no chance whatever of weed injury, for it really is very well 
cleaned. Tested and sound. 
Above seed has 1 per cent of it stained green. This is 
done by U. S. Government men to identify it 
from the undesirable imported seed. The 
latter carries 10 per cent red stain. Please 
note—we do not handle any Italian or other 
unadaptable imported seed!

MAMMOTH (SAPLING) CLOVER 
Much like the regular Red Clover. Used for 
about the same purposes. Mammoth is a little 
coarser — grows taller — ripens later — roots 
deeper. Produces but one crop of hay— 
affords less pasture after cut. Thrives on 
poorer soils. Withstands drought quite well. 
Just one grade—"Extra” quality—is sold.
