“SHADELAND VICTORY” (Continued) 
Roy Kaylor, Elizabethtown, Pa., threshed 79 bushels per 
acre from his Hoffman "Shadeland Victory” Oats, while his 
other field sown to his own oats averaged 59 bushels per 
acre ... a clear-cut gain of 20 bushels fine oats to the acre. 
"Shadeland Victory” grains are beautiful—heavy, large, 
plump, and white. When the hull is removed, you will 
find the kernel inside to be extra large and heavy. This 
makes for an oats of greatest feeding value. 
Any investment you make in '‘Shadeland Victory”—and 
we urge you strongly to sow it—will surely return you a 
fine profit. 
“The Shadeland Victory Oats certainly did make me a fine 
yield. Straw stood up well and produced a marvelous crop. 
I am pleased to recommend it to others.”—S. /. Mullendore, 
RohrersvillCf Md.

‘‘MARKTON'^ OATS 
(Great Smut-Resister) 
Here is a newcomer to the Hoffman list. Though not at 
all a new variety. Records dating back to 1914, show one 
10-year average yield of 11 per cent more bushels per acre 
than that of the Swedish Select Oats. 
Longest grains you ever saw! Unlike any other oats. 
Kernels are yellowish-white, long, slender, with a thin hull. 
Markton stands erect—stalks are of medium length—a mid¬ 
season ripener. Has proven especially free from trouble by 
covered smut, when other oats were badly damaged. Years 
ago Markton earned the distinction of being immune from 
smut. We dislike making so strong a claim, but feel it will 
withstand smut attacks to a remarkable degree. 
This Markton Seed came direct from the growers in the 
famous Shadeland Valleys of the Northwest. The home of 
the famous Shadeland varieties. Victory, Climax and Eclipse. 
Great numbers of Hoffman patrons have gotten extra big 
oats crops from those varieties. We believe this Markton 
Seed will prove equally surprising and profitable to its users 
hereabouts. Try some of this Markton Oats—^be the first 
in your community to have it—grow yourself a profitable 
crop of good oats of extra high feeding value.
