Hoffman TIMOTHY SEED 
Here is where Hoffman thorough cleaning 
methods mean everything to the farmer. 
“Farmer's Choice” is the heaviest part of the 
best Timothy, cleaned clean. All light weight 
seeds are eliminated. It is tested for purity 
and is free of foul weeds. It comes from 
selected fields and germination is the very 
best. We can't say too much for this seed. 
Timothy is no place to look for bargains. 
Even a fraction of a per cent of obnoxious 
weeds introduced in unclean Timothy means 
millions of weeds getting a start. If the Tim- 
othy you plant along with the weeds isn't 
vigorous, the weeds will crowd it down, and 
all you have left for your labor and sweat is 
a field of weeds to get rid of. Contrast that 
with the results Hoffman customers have 
been getting for years—vigorous stands, 
heavy with tall, clean grass that take extra 
trips of the wagon to get it all in. 
Sow 8 quarts to the acre unless you are 
going to add clover in the spring. If so, use 
4 to 6 quarts of Timothy per acre. 
WINTER OATS 
A great crop in the south. Not depend- 
able for the north, or where hard freezes 
may strike. Yet it seems that each season 
more and more folks want to give it trial. 
We urge caution, because of winter-killing. 
One Lancaster County (Pa.) farmer this 
year produced 36-pound oats, threshing an 
average yield of 61 bu. per acre. .. . Seed is 
sort of gray in appearance. Hull of medium 
thickness. Kernels of good feeding value. 
Straw seems well able to carry its weight of 
grain. Reference to price list will show which 
type or variety is available here. Stocks 
won't be large. If wanting to try this crop 
on a small scale, don't wait to order.
