FOR 
48 YEARS 
That’s a long time, since way 
back in 1899 when a pro- 
gressive Lancaster County 
farmer, A. H. Hoffman, pro- 
duced a select strain of win- 
ter wheat. His neighbors 
wanted some of it for their 
fields. It was BETTER 
wheat, and it PAID them to 
sow it. Thus, this organiza- 
tion was founded on a basis 
of furnishing seed that PAID 
“our neighbors,” and for 48 
years that has been the Hoff- 
man formula... Yet it isn’t 
a “stand-still” policy. Wheat, 
for instance, has changed 
considerably since that Hoff- 
man crop of 99. The varie- 
ties described in this folder 
will demonstrate the fact 
that the unceasing Hoffman 
aim is to find the seed that 
will PAY our friends BET- 
TER—the best obtainable of 
productive varieties. 

This year, especially, when every wheat and barley 
Nex; H a4 acre should produce its maximum, good seed is vital. 
adrve 4 A hungry market—a huge portion of the world that 
St, is fighting starvation—is anxious to take all you can 
produce. Five, ten or twenty extra bushels of grain 
COC per acre are needed as they were never needed be- 
fore. Our government has set its sights for a record- 
breaking crop next harvest and your fields play an 
RY A CRE important part in this program. Sowing extra-yielding, 

Hoffman quality seed is an important step in making 
them play their part WELL. 
O Ww * Depend on Hoffman for that kind of seed—nearly 
. wi th half a century it has been supplied to friends who 
T want, and get, those extra bushels per acre.
