Will make no mistake in planting this Corn for a 

 market crop ; it is past the experimental period. 



FREMO is of the best quality, the ears measuring 7 to 9 inches and being well filled to the ;end, as is

HOLMES' PREMQ, World's Eadiest Sweet Com, notionly combines all the merits of the early va- 

 rieties, bttt it ts ialso really superior to them all in size, quality and yield. It 'Can be planted fully as early as 

 the Mams, f<sr 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 itocks grow about 5 feet high and gen- 

 erally bearing two well developed ears to the stock. 



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 «xtra=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 w^ith 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.

Holmes' TOP-NOTCH Sweet Corn 



DELECIOUS FLAVOR. EARS FROM lO TO 12 INCHES LONG 



For several years we have been growing this, variety with Mr. Clark, and this year have decided to of- 

 fer it in quantities for the first time. The " Top-Notch" strongly favors the Early Mammoth Corn and is 

 much longer in the ears. The one from which our illustration was made measured 11 inches, although Mr. 

 Clark had a. number of dried ears that he was saving for us for seed, which measured 12 inches long.^ The 

 grains are rather deep, and, as one gardener pronounces it, " the most delicious Corn for a late Variety J 

 ever used." It comes in about the same season as the " Early Evergreen," and is the largest and best 

 Sweet Corn grown. Any one desiring Sugar Corn producing ears of immense size, delicious flavor, and 

 earlier than the " Evergreen," will do well to give the "Top-Notch" a trial. Fodder good and strong, 

 standing well up against storms and^heavy rains. It comes in at the time whei^ Sweet Corn brings its best 



^^^^^ilsino- Mr. Clark's words, when the writer visited him last winter, he states : "Yon have 'a. Corn there 

 which is going to take the place of a long- felt want." ■ ' 



We believe from the reports we have had this year, as given below, that this variety has come to stay, 

 the same as " Premo" which we introduced three years ago, and of which Messrs. A. W. Livingstone & 

 Sons state in their letter : " This is one of the best varieties of this class that has ever been introduced, 

 and you certainly have a good thing in the * Premo.'" This year we are able to offer this Corn to the 

 wholesale trade.
