Demand has been 
very heavy. Although 
some varieties are 
now entirely sold, 
there is still here for 
your early orders — 
fine-quality seed of 
the famous ' Swedish 
Select’’ variety. More 
bushels of this oats 
has been sold than of any 
other ever sold here. . . . 
It is a good yielder. Depend¬ 
able year after year. Seed is 
heavy, white, sound — and strictly 
free of weeds. Tested and sound 
in germination. Good root system 
— this helps a lot in dry weather. 
As to yield, Simon Behm (Lebanon 
County, Pa.) had 2100 bushels of 
Swedish Select oats from his 30 
acres. ... In Wisconsin, one 
10-year average showed an & l /2 bu. 
gain per acre over other varieties.

LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP 
Ranks first among all varieties of the East. Fine husking corn over 
a great big area. Fine for the silo most anywhere. Makes big, hard, long 
ears of rich yellow corn. Matures in good time, too. Makes good crops 
on rich soils. But makes a better showing on poorer ground than most 
any corn will. A heavy producer of rich feeding corn. Withstands drought. 
Grows tall stalks — very leafy — produces a heavy tonnage of 
very desirable silage. Many folks want fairly-well-finished corn in their 
silage — Sure Crop has earned a place on many farms on this basis. 
A famous corn that has certainly made good. 
LONG’S CHAMPION YELLOW 
Fine big, smooth ear. Rich 
yellow. Deep grain. Very pro¬ 
ductive. If you have good ground, 
and put on enough stuff to feed it 
well, you’ll do something with this 
corn! Too late for the more north¬ 
ern sections. But makes fine crops 
in the lower counties. 
Fine silo corn! Used in the 
New England states. Has rich 
feeding value. Makes heavy ton¬ 
nage. Often preferred to the later 
silage types of corn. 
REID’S YELLOW DENT 
A good, practical yellow corn. 
Compact ear. Medium size. Red 
cob, very thin, deep yellow grains. 
Great favorite in many sections. 
See catalog for details. 
WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT 
An extra good husking corn. 
Ears are nearly white, but when 
shelled the grains show yellow. 
Really a big yielder. Lots of shelled 
corn. Compact ears. Cob not 
large. Rows closely set. Fairly 
large grains •— long and wide. 
Does well on average soils. 
Medium early. A famous prize 
winning strain. 
HYBRID CORN 
Makes strong root system. Re¬ 
sists storm extra well. Ears uni¬ 
form on the stalks, close to the 
ground. Very few barren stalks. 
Resists cold and disease. Stands 
close planting. Fodder and ears 
not so large, but more stalks and 
more ears. Makes increased yields 
of grain, sometimes 15 to 20%. 
Certain kinds only are adapted to 
certain locations. . . .Let us make 
your selection. Hoffman’s hybrids 
are really true-to-name — the 
choicest to be had. 
IMPROVED LEAMING 
Adapted for most any soil. 
Rich, yellow grain of good depth. 
Red cob, medium size, tapering 
ears. Reliable for rough and 
ready culture. Plenty of wide 
leaves. A good cropper. 
HOFFMAN EARLY 99-DAY 
Quickly produces a good crop 
of hard yellow corn. In favorable 
seasons often matures in 90 to 
95 days. Fodder is medium size. 
Often two ears to a stalk. Thin 
cob. Husks easily.
