“SHADELAND CLIMAX” 
(Certified) 
This great oats has made a lot of friends among 
Hoffman patrons. Sown by them for past 20 
years. Some customer reports read: 
"Your 'Shadeland Climax’ Oats were the 
best oats grown in this section and recognized 
as such by everyone.” " 'Climax’ Oats are cer¬ 
tainly a good kind of oats.” "I raised my best- 
ever crop of oats from 'Shadeland Climax.’ ” 
That’s why year after year orders for ''Shade- 
land Climax” are repeated. It is one of the 
heaviest yielding tree oats. Even on big acreages 
it has shown yields of 93 bushels per acre and 
on smaller acreages it has yielded more than 
100 bushels per acre. Year by year it makes new 
friends. ''Shadeland Climax” is a sprangle or 
tree oats, large in the berry, often showing three 
grains to a spikelet. The hull is thin and the 
hulled berry is one of the largest and finest you 
ever saw. Ripens early—very early—ahead of 
the other oats produced where it is grown. Has 
a stiff straw that does stand up very well. 
Order early!

“900 Bu. Victory Oats from the seed bought of 
you, and this was a very poor year and several 
large pieces drowned out, and one we cut for 
green feed. We are very much pleased with the 
results.” Mrs. Dorothy Allison, Waddington, N. Y. 
“SILVER MINE” SEED OATS 
An old standby. Early, hardy and prolific. Mix with Canada Peas for 
early crop of green feed. If you feed oats in the sheaf (straw included) 
you will like ''Silver Mine” because of its soft hull, large grains and 
clean straw. Heads are of the tree or "Sprangle” type, growing long 
and starting low down on the stalk. 
“PEERLESS” SEED OATS 
Here is an Oats for those who want something at a figure only a little 
above cost of feed oats. Very pleasing reports have come from users. 
"Peerless” is a branching or tree oats—not the very earliest, but con¬ 
sidered as an early sort. Ripens in mid-season. Our stocks are well 
cleaned and sound—free of weeds—strong in germination.
