HOLMES' PREMO 
SWEET 
CORN 
Must be planted at same time as 
the Adams' Extra Early to secure 
the best results. 
THE EARLIEST AND BEST 
SWEET CORN IN EXISTENCE. 
Named and introduced by us in 
1900. The best seed can only be 
had from the introducers. 
M A K FT. if! APHFNFR^ wiH make no mistake in planting this Corn for a 
|V| ^M\r^l^ l \J/^lXLy|_^M^rvo market crop . it is past the experimental period 
PREMO is of the best quality, the ears measuring 7 to 9 inches and being well filled to the 
end, as is shown in photograph. 
HOLMES' PREMO, World's Earliest Sweet Corn, not only combines all the merits 
of the early varieties, but it is also really superior to them all in size, quality and yield. It can be 
planted fully as early as the Adams, for the young plants withstand slight frosts, while the other 
varieties are tender, and the seed will not rot if planted before the soil becomes warm. The stalks 
grow about 5 feet high and generally bearing two well-developed ears to a stalk. 
HOLMES' PREMO SWEET CORN is a distinct novelty of great merit, and 
one which will be hailed with delight by every farmer arid gardener who desires an extra-good 
Sweet Corn for early market. 
For years seedsmen throughout the country have been searching for a really / first-class Sweet 
Corn which would come in with Adams' Extra-Early. All. such efforts were unsuccessful, however, 
until about six years ago, when we secured a small quantity of this new Corn, which by actual 
tests, both on our own trial grounds, and with Mr. C. S>|OIark, the noted Corn-grower, has proved 
earlier by a week than any other varieties.
