In the past three years Barley “thinking” in the East has gone 
through a tremendous revolution. Three years ago, when Hoffman 
introduced “Wong” Barley, most people had never heard of it. 
Now the Barley acres not planted to “Wong” are the exception. 
“Wong” just seems to have everything you’ve always wanted in 
Barley. Yields are HEAVY!  Sixty-bushel-per-acre crops—70 
bushels—yes, even 80-bushel crops are on record. Definitely 
“Wong” has high yielding characteristics. It stools out remarkably 
well, stands up straight (just like a wall-when the binder goes by), 
and grows heavy, full heads. Makes a straw crop, too. 
“Wong” does not grow the big mean beards once associated with 
good barley crops. We couldn’t classify it as beardless, but what 
beard there is disappears rapidly when threshed. This feature 
offers no objection whatever. 
For your own feed needs, barley has high value. Some authori- 
ties classify it a good second to corn. 
Hoffman has sound “Wong” seed, this year, from selected fields. 
It has been thoroughly cleaned by the Hoffman special process, 
treated with Ceresan, and tested. With this Hoffman seed, you 
need only 134 to 2 bu. per acre, which makes it a mighty good 
investment. CERTIFIED and UNCERTIFIED Seed are available, 
but order early. We are preparing for a terrific seed demand. 
BEARDED WINTER BARLEY? Yes, there is some fine quality 
“Tennessee Winter” type for those who prefer it. Also a little of 
the “Kentucky” type. This is good, sound, heavy seed. Has been 
carefully selected, thoroughly cleaned and treated, and of sound 
germination. Offered while it lasts, at a very low figure, for the 
top-quality seed it is. See list. 
HOFFMAN WINTER RYE—“Mammoth Winter” type ready now. 
Closely graded, cleaned free of foul weeds, sound growth. Consult 
price list and order early. 
Fall Grasses—The shortage predicted last. spring is now evident. 
For folks wanting any pasture grass seeds, please consult price list. 
Alfalfa—Supply of U. S. seed exhausted. Some new crop, Okla- 
homa or Kansas seed, may be available for late summer or fall 
seeding. Some Argentine seed of sound germination and free of 
noxious weeds can be obtained, if wanted. Not generally recom- 
mended. Consult price list.
