all seed is NOT alike
- J v , * " J \ ‘ ''
BE SURE YOU SELECT THE BRAND THAT
CONSISTENTLY EXCEEDS REQUIREMENTS
DON’T BE FOOLED All certified seed is not alike
Year after year, A H Hoffman Seeds, Inc —the largest
producer of “Certified” winter grains in Pennsylvania
—exceeds the state certification standards for quality
by a wide margin.
FOR EXAMPLE;
Pennsylvania Certification t
Requirements for Wheat
99.0 (minimum) PURITY
I.OCc (maximum) INERT MATTER
90.0% (minimum) GERMINATION 94.00% 93.00%
58 lbs. (minimum) WT. PER BU. 62.2 lbs. 62.0 lbs.
This explains why farmers who plant Hoffman Seeds
consistently get better results—bigger, better, cleaner
crops . . why the blue certification tag alone is not
enough The few cents more you may pay for Hoffman
seeds bring back many extra dollars in bigger crops. For
sixty years, Hoffman has served the farmers of Penn
sylvania with dependable seeds.
