What a Qoy In a Money-Making (?iop . . . Oat5 ot -@nu Othet ! 
Look at the thick even stand of Hoffman Oats, being cut by W. H. Jostmeier (New York State). 
There s real satisfaction in such a crop! One big reason back of this fine crop was seed of the 
right vitality — from the right source. Home-grown oats is not fitted for seed use. It doesn't 
have the right stuff. Neither does ordinary feed oats. Too many folks make the big mis¬ 
take of sowing such oats, and expecting a crop. Such a plan doesn't work! Sowing Hoffman's 
real Seed Oats insures a better crop, and a lot more satisfaction! 
Jloffman's SEED OATS 
Demand is heavy. More and more folks know what these Hoffman 
strains mean to them. . . . Clear gains, as high as 20 extra bushels 
per acre, mean something! A real profit! 
SHADELAND MARKTON" — Long grains. Good yielder. Has made 
many friends because of its ability to withstand attacks of smut, 
when other kinds suffered greatly. Straw grows to good height. 
Stands up well. 
SWEDISH SELECT" — A good old standby. Heavy yielding variety. 
Northern-grown seed. Handled right. Cleaned right. Free from 
weeds. Tested and sound. Hoffman patrons have sown this fine 
variety over 30 years. It has served them well. Simon Behm (Leba¬ 
non County, Pa.) had 2100 bushels from 30 acres. More bushels sold 
of this oats than any variety. It is a branching or tree-type. Stiff 
straw. Very good root system — a big help in dry weather. One 
10-year average yield in Wisconsin showed it 8 V 2 bushels ahead of 
other varieties. Highly recommended. 
"SHADELAND VICTORY" — Heavy seller — very popular. Famous 
for the extra bushels it makes. Beautiful seed, big, white, plump, 
uniform and heavy. Bound to please anybody. Has a host of friends. 
Supply so limited, that very quick orders are urged. When this 
supply is exhausted (but certainly not before) may we substitute 
“Swedish Select." Unless you tell us not to, we shall assume it 
all right to do so. 
"SHADELAND ECLIPSE" — A 'side' or horse-main type of oats. Good 
yielder too. Supply is nearly exhausted. When entirely sold, may 
we follow the plan suggested in above paragraph? 
"SILVER MINE' — "PEERLESS" — Two good low-price varieties. 
Used by great numbers of Hoffman patrons for many years. Field at 
top of this page is "Peerless" oats. Both these varieties are well 
cleaned, free from weeds. Always remember — Freight Paid and 
Bag-Free offers apply to all Hoffman seed prices. 
BARLEY — SOY BEANS — PASTURES 
Several varieties of barley are offered . . . all good quality. Please 
note catalog for details. . . . Wilson Black and Manchu Soy Beans 
again lead in sales. Many pasture grasses are in stock. . . . Maybe 
a re-reading of the Hoffman catalog will suggest another item or two 
you will want to order. See Price List. 
gioffman’s GRASS SEEDS 
"RED CLOVER" — Whatever your choice, U. S. grown or North Euro¬ 
pean seed — it is here for you in extra good quality. Tested seed, free 
from noxious weeds. Sound growth. Very fair prices. 
ALSIKE CLOVER" — Smaller-seeded, goes farther, helps cut down 
the seed-bill. Sure catch too. Hardy, and a good producer. 
SWEET CLOVER — Very popular this year. Most folks prefer the 
white blossom variety. Two other strains are offered. All in 
finest quality.

V 2 Red Clover less per bushel. Makes good crops. Very 
V 4 Alsike clean of weeds. Sound in growth. Tested

and they get extra good crops right along. 
"LANCASTER COUNTY SURE CROP" — again leads in sales. . . . 
Fine for husking, great ensilage variety too. "Long's Champion 
Yellow" is a fine yellow corn . . . best for rich soil. "White Cap 
Yellow Dent" and "Reid's Yellow Dent" are two splendid corns. 
"Hoffman Early 90-Day" — fine for early sections. Many other types 
— see catalog and price list. 
"HYBRID CORN" — Several varieties are available for you. Certain 
kinds for certain locations. Several tests show these hybrids yielding 
15 to 20% more corn. Seed costs much more, but such increases in 
yields soon overpay the small seed cost. Hoffman's Hybrids mean the 
very choicest to be had. . . . True, there are lower-priced ones. But 
there can't be better-handled ones, or more valuable varieties!
