Holmes' GOLD COUPON Field Corn 
DECIDEDLY THE LARGEST AND BEST FIELD CORN 
IN CULTIVATION. ABSOLUTELY DROUTH PROOF 
Holmes' Gold Coupon originated in Dauphin county and has been grown here by one or 
two prosperous farmers for a number of years. Last year we were very fortunate in securing 
some stock seed of this variety, and succeeded in raising a magnificent crop. It is the most 
productive, bears the largest ears of any field Corn that we'know of. The stalks grow uni- 
formly, from twelve to fifteen feet high, with ears set rather low for such tall fodder, making 
it very easy for husking. It matures in about 115 days and the large, handsome ears vary 
from sixteen to twenty rows each, measuring ten to thirteen inches in length, the majority of 
them having eighteen rows of deep, broad grains of a rich golden yellow color. It has a red 
cob, thus denoting its healty character. The cobs are rather small for such mammoth ears,' 
being only 1J inches thick. The six points of merit of this magnificent, new field Corn are : 
First. — It being an extremely heavy cropper. 
Second. — Maturing in 115 days. 
Third. — Its evenness in maturing, the ears all being about the same length, and a large 
proportion having two fully developed ears to each stalk. 
.Fourth. — It can be used for a siloh corn, as the fodder grows very strong, which gives it a 
double advantage over ordinary field Corn. 
Fifth. — It is one of the best yielders that we know of, producing from 125 to 150 bushels 
to the acre on fair soil. 
Sixth. — For Seed Corn, it will sell on sight and farmers will make more money from this 
Corn than any we know of. 
The illustrations on this page are exact reproductions from photographs of our field grow- 
ing for seed, and also an average ear. 
This Corn may be ground almost as soon as husked, as it drys rapidly.
