HAolmes’ SUPERIOR SEED CORN

Wonder 25 Here is indeed a won-
derful Corn. We think

it is the grandest corn ever produced. Big ears, long,
18 to 22 rows of deep grain. The foliage is very dark
green, and retains this color when the ears ripen. As to
heat and drought resistance, it is not surpassed by any
other. It’s borer resistant. Its strong stalk and good roots
make it stand best of all. It is adapted to a wide range
of soils from poor to high and for northern states where
yields have been consistently very high. Matures medi-
um early, 100 days. We highly recommend that you
grow a crop of this our Wonder 255. Large flat kernels.
Bu., $12.00; 2 bus., $23.50

HOLMES’ EARLY 90-DAY. Here is a Corn we can
very highly recommend. The ears average 12 inches
‘long. The Corn is a very bright golden yellow color.
Grains deep and broad. Its cob is thin and the fodder

is an early Corn maturing in 90 days with normal
growing weather. Our seed crop is extra fine.

GOOD AS EVER. This hybrid is one of the very
first kinds to be introduced and still without doubt the
most popular of its class. It produces large ears, deep
medium, starchy, soft grains; a sturdy stalk which

OHIO Ra 1 This hybrid is probably the
HYBRID earliest maturing kind produc-
ed in Ohio. It is especially well adapted in areas 1, 2 and
3 where it is an excellent yielder and most dependable.
Many acres of this hybrid are grown in Michigan where,
like northern Ohio, the seasons are very short. Large,

flat grade. Bu. $10.00; 2 bus., $19.50

OHIO KAS CORN BORER AND
HYBRID BLIGHT RESISTANT

This is one of the new early hybrids which has outyield-
ed most other kinds in its maturity class. It matures
earlier and has outyielded K24 by 5 or 6 bu. per acre.
It will stand well even late into the fall and is resistant
to both leaf blight and Corn borer. The seed is hard to
produce and thus the higher price. The increases in yield
and resistance to disease is worth many dollars to you.
Large flat grade. Bu. $10.00; 2 bus. $19.50
OHIO W6 This hybrid is making a repu-
HYBRID tation for itself all over Ohio.
The plant is a very stiff-stalked kind which is most re-
sistant to root lodging. Ohio W64 has shown excellent
resistance to both Corn borer and blight. It is worthy of
all the dependence you care to put in it, produces results.
