many of you remember when Hoffman first introduced 
the great Lancaster County Sure Crop? What a big boost 
in corn crops it brought! But now, even Sure Crop is a 
back number, compared to the surer, greater yield of 
the corn that’s filling your cribs and silos today— 
Hoffman Funk "G"” Hybrids. 
And oats! A long-time customer said to a Hoffman 
man recently, “Remember those Tartar Oats you used to 
supply me? Believe me, they were good oats. I wonder 
how they would perform today?” Yes, they were good 
oats for those days. But they wouldn't begin to compare 
with the Clinton Oats here offered you this year. Through 
all the years, Hoffman has been continually experiment- 
ing, testing, proving new varieties . . . grasses, grains, 
legumes, cover crops . . . that will do better for you. 
Hoffman men have traveled the seed-growing areas, 
watching crops, analyzing the various factors that go into 
farming satisfaction . . . to get better seed. 
Through forty-nine years, Hoffman has followed the 
principle on which A. H. Hoffman founded this business. 
(Note his words reproduced from one of his early cata- 
TREES TS RE BORIS A ce EEC Al OAR picirptr Pet Li inattentive a pas alo ca 
logs—opposite page.) Because of this, men who sought 
to do better with their land have learned to depend on 
Hoffman Seeds. Thousands of letters have told of the 
splendid results. Because of this dependability, the repu- 
tation of Hoffman Seeds has spread. Those early neigh- 
bors in Lancaster County have now grown to Hoffman 
neighbors from Northern New York and New England to 
West Virginia and the Carolinas . . . from a handful of 
friends then, to tens of thousands today.
