SWEET CORN 



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 AI^WPX riAI^nPlVPI?^ will make no mistake in planting this Corn for a 

 |y| /\ff\IVI^ I -VJ/\rvL^Iwl 1 L.fYO market crop ; it is past the experimental perio ! 



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 and 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 

 Com 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. Clark, the noted Corn-grower, has proved 

 earlier by a week than any other varieties.
