“VICTORY” 
OATS 
Vigorous Grower 
Heavy Cropper 
For the past 20 years here is the oats 
that has gained the biggest use among 
Hoffman's customers. They often found 
it producing yields of 8, 10, 20 bushels 
per acre over many neighboring fields. 
Victory” is a vigorous grower. Large 
spreading heads containing good ker- 
nels and many of them. Grows tall 
straw. Puts up a good fight in adverse 
weather conditions, and yet comes 
through with satisfactory crops—both 
of grain and straw. 
A Mercer County, Pennsylvania, user 
said that his ‘Victory’ Oats was the 
best he ever planted. He had plenty of 
oats for feed where most of his neigh- 
bors had to plow theirs down. Reports 
in excess of 80 bushels an acre have 
come in when weather was favorable. 
In “off’’ oats years many folks reported 
gains of 5 to 10 bushels per acre better 
than nearby crops of other types. A 
central Pennsylvanian reported that “it 
was poor weather for oats, but our ‘Vic- 
tory did well. The thresher said it was 
the best oats he threshed.” A New Eng- 
land user reported excellent satisfaction 
“with strong stalks, heavy tops and a 
very good crop.” A New Jersey user 
had “excellent results despite a late 
seeding followed by a dry spell that 
threatened the crop.” 
“Victory” Oats stands well consider- 

ing the heavy weight of grain it carries. 
The kernels are large size, the hulls 
thin, the feed value high. The vigorous 
qualities of “Victory’’ Oats are unques- 
tioned. Its Northern origin assures a 
great advantage in this respect, and in 
its ability to produce much better crops 
than are possible with home-produced 
or second-time oats, even though the 
second crop was a good one. 
Some of the regular “Victory” seed, 
also a limited quantity of certified “Vic- 
tory’’ seed is on hand. Supply of either 
is not large. Based on its many years of 
good success among such a large num- 
ber of Hoffman patrons, this ‘’Victory” 
seed will serve you very well. Extra 
bushels of oats in the granary will help 
greatly to keep feed costs down. 
SWEDISH TYPE OATS 
(Variety Unknown) 
The lower-cost seed. Medium to early 
maturity. Good root structure. Firm, tall 
straw. The good yieldability of the old 
Swedish Oats was always greatly ad- 
mired. This seed is generations from the 
original importations: therefore, to 
comply with regulations, the words 
“Variety Unknown” are included in this 
description. Just the same, here is oats 
that has pleased Hoffman customers 
with good crops of valuable feed.
