THE BEST CORN I EVER RAISED... . “I have 
raised lots of good corn, but the hybrid I raised this 
year beats all. Harvested before frost, and can show 
you the best silage I ever had. It is as fine as can be 
made.’—William R. Story, Greene Co., N. Y. 
TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS’ SATISFACTION. ... “I 
have sold my farm and referred the buyer to you for 
quality seeds, square dealing and courtesy. For 28 
years I have dealt with you exclusively excepting on 
two occasions, and then I was twice sorry. Best 
wishes and thanks.”—Frank A. Kuntz, Lehigh Co., Pa. 
STOOD LIKE AMERICAN ARMY.... “The Funk G 
has a wonderful root system. I am more convinced 
than ever. We had a very hard storm, 80 per cent of 
the open-pollinated corn blew down. The Funk G 
was like one of our good old American armies after 
the storm—80 per cent of it still stood. The fodder 
is just fine. I don’t believe it can be beaten. Lots of 
good wide blades and good height.”—Charles W. 
Moats, Braxton Co., W. Va. 
SUCCESS ALWAYS... . “Never raised cleaner or 
better Clover. Yield was about 2% tons per acre— 
we usually harvest 1 to 1% tons. Have had success 
with all your seeds.”—E. T. Spotts, Centre Co., Pa. 
NO BLIGHT ON G 135. ... “I didn’t see any blight 
on G 135. This made very good growth.”’—Arthur 
Ravenscroft, Allegany Co., Md. 
MUCH MORE FODDER WITH G 94.... “The G 94 
was a pleasure to watch. Hard windstorms in August 
blew down the Sure Crop. But the hybrid stood 
straight. I did not get any fodder from the Sure Crop 
—lots of good fodder for my silo from G 94. Some 
farmers didn’t understand why half of my field was 
standing up and the other all knocked down. I also 
had good ears on this hybrid. Would not plant any 
other corn.”—S. Rokowski, New London Co., Conn. 
ONLY CLOVER HEREABOUTS. ... “The Clover 
bought from you last year has done fine. Was used 
this year for cow pasture and poultry range. This 
was the only Red Clover in this section last year 
on account of a very dry mid-season.”—A. W. Cannon, 
New Castle Co., Del. 
3,500 BUSHELS SHELLED CORN... . “I have had 
very good results with your Funk Seed Corns. On 
55 acres this year I picked 3,500 bushels shelled corn.” 
—Gardiner Gilbert, Monroe Co., N. Y. 
FUNK G TAKES DRY WEATHER... . “Have used 
your Funk G Silage 4 years. It is better than Sweep- 
stakes. Can take the dry weather and come through 
in good shape. Have used G 4 for husking 2 years 
and like it very well. Last year we had the best field 
of corn anywhere around.’’—C. Ingalls, Tioga Co., Pa. 
CLOVER VERY GOOD... . “Your Clover seed yielded 
very good. I got three loads to the acre. Very well 
pleased with the results.”—John G. Haeuftling, Gar- 
rett Co., Md. 
RYE GRASS FINE IN ORCHARD... . “We sowed 
that Rye Grass bought from you, in a young peach 
orchard as a cover crop on a hillside, mostly to stop 
washing. We allowed it to re-seed itself. This year 
we had heavy floods but the Rye Grass did a very good 
job in our orchard.”—Foster C. Group, Adams Co., Pa. 
HOFFMAN SEEDS OUR STANDARD... . “I sowed 
your Timothy to plug the holes in an alfalfa field. 
Seeded the two together to insure a 100 per cent 
stand of hay. 20 Ibs. Alfalfa and 5 Timothy. It showed 
up wonderful and this year saved the crop for us. 
The rye grass gave a good early pasture with oats. 
We consider Hoffman Seeds our standard.”—Ray 
Hartmann, Monroe Co., Pa. 
TOO BAD—35 PER CENT GREATER YIELD... . 
“You have gotten me into a heck of a jam. Not over 
three-quarters finished husking and I don’t have any 
crib room left. And I have been feeding a swell herd 
of hogs for over a month right out of the field. Farm- 
ers here grow an adapted ‘Sure Crop’ and it’s not so 
very sure. My corn crop is at least 35 per cent greater 
this year from the same acreage.”—F red. W. Gorman, 
Cumberland Co., N. J. 
BARN FULL—BEST HAY... . “I think your Hoff- 
man Red Clover and Timothy have done the best of 
any we ever had. The barn was full... two big 
mows.”’—Isaac Horner, Monroe Co., Pa. 
PLENTY OF HAY FROM MAMMOTH... . “We sow 
all Mammoth Clover. We put on ground lime in the 
fall when we sow the wheat. Sowed your Clover in 
the spring. Next spring we put 300 lbs. acid phos- 
phate to the acre. Then we took off 9 good loads of 
hay. Mammoth Clover is all we sow and we have 
plenty of hay. I told the boy we ought to have a 
picture for Hoffman’s’—W. A. Weller, Snyder Co., Pa. 
FUNK G FROM NOW ON.... “I had the best crop 
I ever raised. 22 large loads from 1% acres which 
nearly filled a 12x 24 silo. Corn was 11% feet tall 
with large ears. Never saw so many leaves, about 6 
inches wide and not a down stalk on the whole piece. 
Cows sure do relish this ensilage. I planted 29-3 
Hybrid the same date as yours. Funk G grew 3% 
feet taller—had about 3 times the tonnage per acre. 
From now on it’s G Hybrid for me.”—Hayden W. 
Ellis, Cattaraugus Co., N. Y. 
MOST EXCELLENT SEEDS. ... “Have sold my 
farms and therefore won’t be using any more of your 
most excellent seeds.’”—T. C. Post, Lawrence Co., Pa. 
LOW IN WEEDS—BEST MONEY CAN BUY... .“The 
Clover seed I bought from you in 1941 was seeded at 
the rate of 5 qt. Mammoth, 2 qt. Grimm Alfalfa and 
7 qt. Timothy. I got a fine catch of all. In June this 
year I cut a fine crop of clover and alfalfa, and in 
August, two months later, another cutting of alfalfa 
which I baled out of the windrow. It ran 7 tons from 
4% acres. Before Oct. 15th, this field was covered 
over with nice alfalfa about twelve inches high. ... 
The Mammoth Clover sown into my wheat ground 
this spring came up thick as it could grow. Seven 
weeks after I harvested the wheat I cut this Clover. 
This field has received many remarks from people 
who saw it as being the best catch they ever saw.... 
Your seeds have been very low in foreign seeds and 
weeds. All I can say is, they are as good as money 
can buy.”—Albert Chanadit, Mercer Co., Pa. 
NOT AFFECTED BY BLIGHT... . “Filled my silos 
on less ground with Funk G than Lancaster Sure 
Crop. Your Funk G is not affected by blight. Open- 
pollinated corn here is down 25 to 30 per cent this 
year, and hybrid is standing up very good.”—C. H. 
Mantle, Lycoming Co., Pa.
