“CLINTON” OATS 
The seed supply situation in “Clinton” oats 
has changed considerably since Hoffman 
first offered this splendid oats variety only 
two years ago. At that time, Clinton seed 
was extremely scarce, very high in price, 
and had to be distributed in very limited 
quantities. Now so-called Clinton oats 
are available from any number of sources 
. at widely varying prices. 
Seed quality varies widely, too . . . this 
year especially. We have been offered 
numerous lots of Clinton oats . .. even 
some lots bearing state certification .. . 
that were several degrees off in quality. 
Oats crops in a great many areas of the 
country this year hit bad harvest weather 
and were badly weather stained. Several 
lots offered by some would-be suppliers, 
when tested, show quite unsatisfactory 
germination. 
Great care has had to be exercised here to 
purchase only top-quality Clinton seed this 
year. You as a buyer, to be assured of 
good seed, will do well to shy away from 
“bargain” offers in Clinton oats . . . stick 
to a reputable source that you know is 
offering you good seed. The Clinton oats 
here offered you represents the best seed 
available to us from this year’s crop... 
it’s seed that will please you and pay you! 
Clinton is very resistant to root-rot-blight 
(Helminthosporium), the disease which 
knocked out Vicland. It also carries high 
resistance to certain rusts which often se- 
riously hurt many old varieties. Its superior- 
ity is based on its background of breeding 
and selection. Clinton combines the dis- 
ease resistance and other good points of 
D-69 and Bond, the varieties from which 
the original cross was made.

stood up well under practically all condi- 
tions .. . has good length straw. Usually 
stands well for a week or more after the 
grain is first ripe enough for safe storage

harvest is over . . . certainly desirable. 
Is a yellow oat with a low hull and high 
“meat” percentage; feeding value is high. 
Weight per bushel has been consistently 
high. Clinton stools well; some folks feel 
they can safely use less seed than with 
other varieties.

recommended by New York authorities.

and stem rust. Exceptionally stiff straw
