CANADA FIELD PEAS 
(For Early Green Feed) 
For cattle, sheep, hogs. Growth is rapid, 
gives green feed when other seedings are 
just starting. Sow early, with oats. Oats 
support the vines—make a palatable com- 
bination. 1% bushels each per acre. Drill 
peas 3” to 84” deep. Then drill oats 1%” 
to 2”. Pasture when about 1 foot high. 
Feed gradually to avoid bloating. After 
cut, new growth appears. 
SPRING VETCH 
Not winter hardy, but often used success- 
fully among spring sown emergency pas- 
tures. Makes good growth. 
RAPE—for QUICK PASTURE 
For sheep and hogs. Inexpensive, prolific. 
Thrives on all soils with little preparation. 
Sow 5 to 6 pounds per acre, through 
spring up to end of August. Alone, with 
other pasture seeds, or in corn fields. 
Makes second growth. Pasture when less 
than 10 inches high. Stands hard usage. 
JAP“ MILLET—for Quick Hay 
Most popular millet in northern-central 
areas. Has made tremendous yields—up to 
20 tons per acre. Tall variety. Thrives on 
poor soil. Valuable emergency hay. For 
green feeding, cut just before seed heads 
appear. Sow % bushel per acre. 
“GOLDEN” MILLET 
Makes satisfactory leafy hay; in Pennsyl- 
vania, yields good crops in from 7 to 9 
weeks. Sow 3 pecks per acre (48 lbs. per 
bushel). “HUNGARIAN” Millet is used 
by folks in more northern areas. 
“‘“HOG PASTURE MIXTURE” 
Provides 8 to 11 weeks’ use at low cost. 
Quick green feed—often ready in 4 weeks. 
Useful after other crop failures. Grows 
until frost; won't winter. Producer of 
flesh, fat, wool. For cattle, cut and remove 
to prevent trampling. Gets second growth. 
Use 70 pounds per acre, broadcast or with 
seeder, between June and August 1. Har- 
row in.

LESPEDEZA (“KOREAN”) 
Great hay and pasture legume. Will grow 
on poor, worn soils, or land too sour to 
grow clovers. Used in Delaware, Mary- 
land and South. Good soil enricher. An 
annual, killed by frost. Often reseeds it- 
self. Drought resister. Sow 20-25 Ibs. per 
acre. Inoculate. 
LESPEDEZA (‘SERICEA”’) 
Lasts several seasons. Taller. Resembles 
Alfalfa in growth, but hay is more woody. 
Thrives on poor soils and in dry seasons. 
Real soil improver. Seed should be in- 
oculated. (Continued on next page )

Some seedsmen make 
goal. Take a lot of short cuts and deliver 
a low-priced product to their customers. 
Cthers set out to deliver the finest pos- 
sible seed . . . with price a secondary 
consideration. They go through many 
extra cleaning operations . . . take extra 
precautions all along the line. 
Through these many years, Hoffman 
has always followed the latter road. 
Thousands of dollars have been invested 
in special equipment . . . Clipper Clean- 
ers, Hart-Carter Disc Separators, Superior 
Graders, Gustafson Treaters, Sutton, Steele 
and Steele Gravity Mill, Campbell Dryer, 
Calkins Treater, Steinlite Moisture Tester, 
Howe Mixer, Mangelsdorf Germinator, 
Morecorn Grader, Eureka Length Grader, 
Ferrell Corn Grader. 
The jobs these machines do mean a lot 
to you. Their presence here is one of the 
reasons why Hoffman seeds produce bet- 
ter crops.
