Insures Full Stands—Heavy Crops

HERE'S "HUG," HOFFMAN'S 
"HYBRID MAN" 
The past four years he has put 
in the hardest work of his life 
most all of it on hybrid corn. 
Planning, testing, supervising, 
proving—which are the right 
hybrids for Hoffman patrons to 
plant. He'll be glad to talk over 
or write you about hybrid corn. 
Many farmers have told us 
they didn't know what the "silk" 
was for on corn. Each silk is 
there to help produce one grain 
of corn. Without silks, no grains 
would appear. . . . Notice these 
extra-long silks on this ear Hug 
is holding. It is one of the 
vigorous inbreds used in mak¬ 
ing famous "G" Hybrids. 
" CRIB-RUN " "G 218" 
Where are the nubbins? They 
"ain't"! That's the beauty of 
these Hoffman Funk "G" Hy¬ 
brids. Here's one place where 
real breeding tells! Each stalk 
qives its good ear. Poor ears 
are very scarce. 
DIFFERENT GRADINGS OF “G” HYBRID 
SEED—BUT NOT DIFFERENT QUALITIES! 
Because of its extra-high breeding—ALL THE GRAINS on 
each "G” Hybrid ear have EQUAL VALUE FOR PLANT¬ 
ING! The tip grains, the middle grains, the butt grains, the 
round grains, and the flat grains! This has not been the 
common idea about regular open-pollinated corns. . . . But it 
certainly is true of these "G” Hybrids. It’s been proven hun¬ 
dreds and hundreds of times. Each of these grades will pro¬ 
duce equal-quality crops! 
The difference in this seed is simply in the shape of the 
grains—the reproducing value of each is the same. The "Flat” 
gradings command the highest price, the Medium and Regular 
Rounds sell for less . . . the Large Rounds for still less. 
HERE ARE MANY FINE “G” HYBRIDS— 
BUT WHICH ONE SHALL YOU ORDER? 
If a full description was printed in this catalog about each one 
of these twenty or more Hoffman Funk "G” Hybrids . . . you 
would be greatly confused. So that’s why details are not given 
herein. Just note these numbers—each one a different and 
distinct hybrid:

To make it easy for you, and help us to help you—will you 
please do this? Leave the selection of your proper "G number’’ 
to us. On the back of the Order Sheet mailed with this book, 
you will notice several blank spaces. Please write your answers 
in those spaces. With your answers and our four years’ testing- 
and-proving experience, we will select your proper "G numbers." 
We ask for your confidence. Each man’s order gets personal 
attention! Planting this seed will bring you a surprising and 
profitable experience. 
SPECIAL CORN-PLANTER PLATES 
It costs only a small sum to get the right plates—with proper 
size holes. Each bag of "G” Hybrid seed has a tag, telling 
what number plates to get. The grading done to this seed is 
so exacting, that by getting the special rings, your stand will 
be more even and your crop improved because of it. Proper 
planting plates are strongly urged!
