_ LANCASTER COUNTY SEED WHEAT 
has been paying crop dividends in EXTRA YIELDS 
From one of the earliest wheat booklets written by Mr. A. H. Hoffman 
over 40 years ago-—shortly after he had founded this seed business: 
‘Our location is in the famous wheat 
belt of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 
rightfully named “The garden spot of 
the world’ .. . adapted to the production 
of hardy and vigorous Seed Wheat. In 
these soils, with proper culture and fer- 
tilization, wheat does not ‘run out.’ 
“Every precaution is taken to pro- 
duce clean seed—on clean fields. 
‘Our varieties are not untried novel- 
ties, but those that have proven to be 
the most hardy and productive to be had. 
““We sell graded seed only. Often 20 
per cent of the wheat is screened out, 
which leaves practically nothing but 
plump, vigorous seed grains. 
‘Our prices are the lowest at which 
seed of equal merit can sell.” 
The above facts are just as true today as 40-odd years ago. 
True, new and improved varieties have been bred . . . but the aim here still is as 
in 1899—the best possible quality Seed Wheat. On thousands of farms, the many 
EXTRA bags of good wheat are repaying our friends who EVERY YEAR invest in 
new Hoffman Lancaster County Seed Wheat for ALL their acres. 
What a pleasure to 
get extra bags of 
good wheat from 
your fields at har- 
vest. EXTRA divi- 
dends with no more 
effort!
