“T am thinking of sowing 
Sapling Clover with spring 
rye, perhaps some oats. As 
you know I always sow Hoff-

proven the best to be had

CLOVER SEED 

What sort of a clover crop will your next one be? Sure as sun- 
rise, your crop at hay-making time is going to depend a whole 
lot on the quality of the seed you sow now. Sow nothing but 
clean, tested clover seed, and you can be sure that you won’t be 
growing a crop of weeds from it! Sow only seed that you 
know for sure has come from a section that produces only 
hardy plants—that makes for healthy, vigorous stands! If you 
believe a few pennies per acre is a reasonable price to pay for 
insurance for an extra good crop, you can rely with confidence 
on these Hoffman strains—and get the kind of crop you want! 
“EXTRA” RED CLOVER 
(Native U. S. Verified Seed) 
We're especially happy to be able to offer you this year’s Red 
Clover seed. Because it is available at prices lower than you 
could get cheap seed for in the past. And its quality is right 
up to the very top of the crop—the same U. S. Verified seed 
which farmers have been sending in so many good reports 
about, such as, for instance, 21 tons of hay from three-fourth 
bushel of seed . . . 52 tons off 18 acres. .. . It carries a Govern- 
ment tag, telling you where it was grown, and that means you 
have no guesswork as to whether it will succeed in your section. 
Hoffman’s have taken care of the all-important “‘source’’ feature 
for you. 
Naturally, it costs a little more to get such seed for you, and 
really clean it clean—the Hoffman way. So that you can be sure 
of a clover crop, instead of a weed crop. But that’s surely the 
right kind of seed for you to plant—the seed that will make 
you the best crop! 
For northern or high-altitude sections, you’re safe in depend- 
ing on Hoffman’s “EXTRA” hardy, native strain. 
One thing we can’t emphasize too much right now. It’s 
never paid to plant “cheap” red clover. At our prices today, it 
won’t even pay to think about other so-called “bargain” seed. 
Results from top-quality seed always pay best!
