RED CLOVER 
Be Sure You Plant a Hardy Strain 
in your locality. And you won’t have to guess when you 
get it, for it is Government tagged, showing just where it 
was grown. Here at Hoffman’s we make sure that you get 
quality seed, clean seed, ALL CLOVER! 
It costs US extra to be sure of this kind of seed. We don’t 
make any more money out of it than the seller of cheap 
seeds—but it’s the only kind we’ll handle. Because a great 
number of farmers depend on our seed without question of 
price or quality. . . . Because they have learned that the only 
Young clover just where you 
want it! Here's a fine set, just 
starting off in a Hoffman cus¬ 
tomer's wheat field. 
“I have used your U. S.

true measure of worth is RESULTS! 
In the northern and high altitude sections, authorities claim 
that the only seeds safe to sow are the hardy native strains 
such as Hoffman’s "EXTRA.” 
By the way, there probably won’t be any good seed from 
Europe this year. Better order quickly. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
This clover does well on wetter, colder soils. Stands more 
acidity, and will do well on lands that won’t support other 
clovers. It’s very hardy. Many farmers like to sow alsike 
with red clover at the rate of 2 to 3 parts of red to one of 
alsike. Being small, the seed goes further, makes a lower-cost 
planting. 
Our Extra Quality Alsike is extremely well cleaned—as 
pure as we can humanly get it. Once in a while we have a 
stock of "Economy” Alsike that sells for less money. It may 
contain some White Dutch or Timothy, but is free of noxious 
weeds. It’s a good low-priced buy when we have it. 
MAMMOTH (SAPLING) CLOVER 
Coarser and taller-growing, but otherwise is much like Red 
Clover. It ripens later, roots deeper, but many farmers like 
it because it produces a quantity of hay. "It can’t be beat for 
yield," says a Brockway, Pa., grower. It will give you only 
one crop—maybe less pasture after cutting, but it thrives 
on poorer soils and comes through drought in fine style. 
“This makes two years I have 
harvested an excellent crop 
of Hybrid Corn grown from 
your Funk’s ‘G 218’ seed. It 
stands up straight, and there 
are few barren stalks. I sure 
am sold on hybrid and you 
may enter my order for my 
1940 seed.”— E. W. Dutton, 
Lebanon , N. /. 
“The Hybrid Corn did extra 
good. If I had planted my 
whole crop of it, I believe I 
would have had a third more 
corn. Very few barren stalks. 
It was Funk ‘G 63.’ I don’t 
believe you have anything 
that will beat it. I will need 
about a bushel in the spring, 
and clover seed and soy beans. 
I think some of my neighbors 
will send with me for some 
corn. You can’t recommend 
this corn too high for it is 
hard to beat.”— W. A. Coul¬ 
ter, Belleville, W. Va.
