“CLINTON ELEVEN’’ OATS 
(Certified) 
This improved selection from the origi- 
nal crossings that produced “Clinton” oats 
has given top performance. Here in “Clin- 
ton 11” is more uniform ripening. Less of 
the green “unfinished” grains at harvest. 
Less variation in plant height. Improved 
yield has made still more bushels than the 
original “Clinton”’—also a good producer. 
Good Disease Fighter 
Outstanding in favor of “Clinton Eleven” 
is the way it fights against some of the 
diseases that used to take heavy tolls in 
other oat-strains. Same as is the case with 
all other oats known today, attacks by cer- 
tain diseases have injured “Clinton Eleven” 
too. Doubtless will again, when conditions 
favor them. Such situations can never be 
known in advance. “Clinton Eleven” has 
surely averaged very well in this favorable 
trait it has shown. 
Makes Yields that Pay 
“Clinton 11” tillers well, producing many 
nice-size kernels per head. Stalks grow to 
good, uniform height. Straw is stiff—keeps 
standing. Ripens in early to moderate sea- 
son. Ripens uniformly, without the unripe 
green-cast grains. Does not shatter—lose 
its grain early, waiting for harvest. Is 
classed as a yellow oat. Thin hull. Meaty 
kernel. Fine feed. 
Bred-in Crop Insurance 
“Clinton 11” carries the right bloodlines 
to produce good crops. And it has been 
doing just that for a great many folks here 
in the northeast. Should you decide on 
“Clinton 11” this time, you will be going 
along with the big majority of folks who 
have found it a profitable strain through 
the past several years. 
“CLINTON 59” OATS 
(Certified) 
Two agricultural experiment stations— 
Illinois and Indiana—are greatly responsi- 
ble for two of today’s main oat varieties... 
“Clinton 11” and “Clinton 59.” From what 
can be learned, the crosses that produced 
both strains are just about identical. A 
different number was applied at each sta- 
tion. 
Here is “Clinton 59.” Finest quality. 
True strain. Certified. What could be writ- 
ten about it would have to about match 
the above details on “Clinton 11” .. . there 
could hardly be any great inherent differ- 
ences. Depend on this Hoffman top-qual- 
ity, genuine seed . .. either number... 
get top crop returns! 
SEEDS ALWAYS WERE 
‘‘SECOND-TO-NONE”’. 
“All your seeds have always been the 
very top . . . second-to-none.”’ That com- 
ment was written on his order, by Mr. 
A. C. Glewwe (Hampden County, Mass.) 
Mr. Glewwe sums up in a very few words 
the basis on which Hoffman always has 
operated. Here the “‘particular’’ farmer 
finds carefully chosen seeds to meet his 
most exacting specifications. Here the 
man who’s out fo grow crops that are 
better than his neighbor’s—finds cleaner, 
hardier, more vigorous seeds to help him 
reach that goal. Here the progressive 
farmer finds the new strains . . . the im- 
proved varieties . . . and the tried and 
proven older types. Leading dairymen, 
leading livestock men, leading poultry 
men... more of them all the time... . 
men who lead in their field because they 
produce a quality product—are today 
turning to Hoffman for seeds. Because 
they recognize Hoffman through the 
years has been leading the field in its 
efforts toward better seeds for more 
profitable crops. 
Hoffman is proud of its 56-year record 
for seed quality .. . SECOND-TO-NONE! 
Hoffman stands ready to help you grow 
second-fo-none, better-paying crops.
