Hoffman HIGH-PRODUCTION 
“Thorne SEED WHEAT 

Beardless strain, producing outstanding yields. Grain good 
size. Chaff red. Medium length heads on thick-walled, 
stiff straw. Sow 154 bu. per acre. 
Excellent reports on Hoffman Thorne continue to come in from 
all directions. A number of these letters tell of many pleasing 
yields. “A 40-bu.-per-acre yield from 33 acres”—a “41-bu.-per-acre 
—the best-looking wheat in this area.” A newspaper report from 
Central Pa. told of a 4214-bu. yield. In another territory “where 
the average yield is about 20 to 25 bu. per acre and 30 is consid- 
ered exceptionally good,” F. A. Loverin got the almost unbelievable 
yield of 61 bu. per acre from 8 acres. 
One basis of the productiveness of the Hoffman Thorne Seed is 
a vigorous root system. The plant stools well, producing a dense 
mass of roots which travel wide and deep. Good-sized grains of 
excellent milling and feeding quality are produced on medium 
heads. Thorne doesn’t shell out easily when handling. Straw is tall, 
stiff and thick-walled. 
Hoffman Thorne Seed is from selected fields, thoroughly cleaned, 
high in germination. For this reason you need plant only 1°, 
bushels to the acre—which makes a very economical investment 
for good seed. 
CERTIFIED and UNCERTIFIED Seed are available. A heavy 
demand may develop. Suggest you send your order very early. 
Hoffman Leaps Prolific 
SEED WHEAT 
Extra Stooling, high production Beardless wheat. Chaff 
white. Straw long and stiff. Ripens early. Sow 112 to 1% 
bu. per acre. 

The old-reliable standard wheat in many areas for over 30 years. 
Leap’s Prolific has been making fine crops in all kinds of seasons, 
on most all kinds of soil—high or lowland, clay, loam, limestone, 
gravel or slate. 
Deep roots, extra stooling, many long stalks per seed, and the 
fact that Leap’s is stubbornly resistant to winter-kill, have been the 
factors responsible for the many excellent Leap’s crops. 
Grain is hard, doesn’t shell out easily, and matures early. Most 
folks like Leap’s long, stiff straw. 
Here is a good supply of Leap’s—both CERTIFIED and UNCER- 
TIFIED—thoroughly cleaned seed, and tested. Consult price list.
