“IMPROVED LEAMING” 
Adapted for almost any soil. Rich, yellow, 
wedge-shaped grain of good depth. Red cob, 
medium size, tapering ears—14 to 18 rows. 
"Improved Learning" is a reliable corn for 
rough and ready culture. Fodder has numerous 
wide leaves. The stalks are thick but not as 
tall as some varieties. The ear is well filled at 
both ends and between the rows. On poorer 
soils "Improved Learning" often gives surpris¬ 
ing results. It will, however, respond to better 
conditions and will give fine yields of corn on 
well-drained, fertile land.

“We planted your Red Cob White Ensilage last 
Summer. It averaged 14 feet. Ears were large 
and solid. We plant this corn every year and are 
always entirely satisfied with all results.” 
Sisters of Christian Doctrine, 
Nyack, N. Y. 
“I got a very good yield of corn from your Lancaster County Sure Crop 
and was well pleased with the seed purchased from you this Spring.” 
Wm. G. Stevens, Jr., Sykesville, Md. 
“EARLY BUTLER'’ 
A favorite in Central and Northern Pennsylvania. Our supply is 
limited. It was grown in the northern part of the State in high altitudes. 
Not a large ear. But truly an early yellow corn that you can rely on 
for use in the North. This is the true-type strain. If supply should be 
exhausted when your order arrives, may we substitute any other sort? 
-HOFFMAN’S HYBRID-CORN TESTS- 
There are some promising corn-hybrids that are being developed in 
various parts of the country. It is possible that some of these may have 
value for growers in the East. 
At great expense, Hoffman's started last year a permanent test of 
these hybrids, collecting them from various sections of the country and 
testing them under local conditions. This is the first effort that has 
been made to select from all of the hybrids now on the market the few 
that may be important for Eastern growers. 
It will take time to secure results from these tests. lust as soon, 
however, as results are available, they will be placed at the disposal 
of Hoffman's customers. You may be sure, however, that none of these 
new hybrids will be offered in the Hoffman list until thoroughly tried 
and tested under local conditions. Hoffman's must be sure of results 
before any recommendation will be made to you! 
Note the tine leafy growth ot this 
Hoffman "Lancaster Sure Crop.' 
. . . That feature makes many 
friends for this famous variety.
