SEED POTATOES 
Some New Varieties of Special Merit 
Jloffman's 
If there is one crop where it pays to plan for results before 
you buy your seed, it is potatoes. That’s why we’ve always 
been so extra careful of the seed we offer you. For what you 
plant has a mighty important bearing on whether all your 
work will be worth anything. Note these fine varieties-— 
every one CERTIFIED. 
“BLISS TRIUMPH” (Certified) 
Earliest of the Pink Varieties 
If early potato crops mean premium prices to you, you’ll tind 
Bliss Triumph” (Early) a real money-maker. An improve¬ 
ment over the original "Red Bliss,” earlier than "Cobblers” 
by a week to ten days, "Bliss Triumph” delivers heavy yields 
of elongated flat tubers, nice in appearance, unexcelled in 
quality. Grown with extreme care for you in Northern 
Pennsylvania. 
“PENNIGAN” (Certified) 
Often Produces Over 400 Bushels per Acre 
Extremely hardy, excellent in cooking quality, outstanding in 
yield, "Pennigan” (Certified) is a fine white rural type potato. 
'Michigan Russets” and "Pennsylvania McCormiclc varieties 
were crossed, 40,000 seedlings grown from the crossing, before 
"Pennigan” was finally selected as the finest type—reasons 
enough why this potato is a favorite. Maturity similar to 
"Russet.” Our seed is true-strain, disease-free, from splendid 
crops, and comes direct from the area that bred this heavy 
yielding variety. 
NORTHERN MICHIGAN “RUSSET” 
(Certified) 
A hardy grower, easy to harvest and store, resistant to disease, 
this famous "Russet” strain gave one yield of 629 bushels per 
acre in Bucks County, Pa. Our seed is produced by famous 
Tuber-Unit method that removes everything undesirable. Top- 
notch and dependable. 
“GREEN MOUNTAIN” (Certified) 
One of the best liked standard potatoes grown, and of the 
very finest in eating qualities. A later-maturing type of Maine 
gro" r n seed—and no variety has more friends.

single hill of Hoffman Bliss 
Triumph Seed. A fine yielder 
of very good early potatoes 
GRASS SILAGE FOR 
CHICKENS 
What's good for the cow is 
good for the chicken, too, say 
two Cumberland County, N. J., 
poultrymen. One has used 
alfalfa ensiled with molasses 
for his poultry feeding. An¬ 
other has preserved green 
wheat and soy beans with 
molasses. . . . Maybe the silo 
on the poultry farm may be 
closer than realized today. 
“We are very well pleased 
with your Funk ‘G 7’ Hybrid 
Corn. The field in which it 
was planted has raised a crop 
of corn each year for the past 
eleven years with very little 
commercial fertilizer, but sub¬ 
ject to a crop of green manure 
and a top dressing of barn¬ 
yard manure each year. The 
corn was planted May 27th 
with ensilage corn on each 
side of the plot. A wind and 
heavy rain tangled the open- 
pollinated variety badly, but 
the hybrid remained standing 
in good shape. We intend to 
plant Funk ‘G 7’ for our 
regular field corn next year 
and some variety of hybrid 
with some larger stalk growth 
for our ensilage. We believe 
that it would be a simple mat¬ 
ter to double the yield which 
we obtained, as we were 
merely testing the hybrid for 
our own satisfaction.”— Ken¬ 
neth McBroom, Jamestown.
