Holmes’ New and Improved Varieties 
Spanish Gold Sweet Corn 
Del icious Muskmelon 
Sweetest Early Muskmelon 
This wonderful Muskmelon combines earliness, large size and 
delicious sweetness, making it superior to any other early Melon. 
Fruits average 5 pounds or more, are of oval shape, light green, 
covered with fine netting. Flesh is deep orange color, very sweet 
and of most delicious flavor. The flesh is not as firm as Bender’s 
Surprise and melons therefore do not keep as long after picking. 
For the home garden and nearby market this sort is unsurpassed.

Delicious Muskmelon. 
This early Sweet Corn was originated and introduced by the 
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. In tests con¬ 
ducted by the Station and also by farmers this Corn was found 
to mature 5 days ahead of Extra Early Bantam and 6 days 
earlier than Sunshine. It grows 5 to 6 feet high, depending 
upon the fertility of the soil. Ears are 7 inches in length with 
10 to 12 rows of rich golden grains. The quality of Spanish 
Gold is, we think, equal to Golden Bantam. You will not make 
a mistake by planting Spanish Gold for your first early crop. 
Our crop was grown from seed furnished by the Experiment 
Station. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 
10 lbs., $2.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 15 lbs,, $2.65; 25 lbs., 
$4.25; 100 lbs., $16.00. 
Gill’s Early Market Sweet Corn 
Those who want good sweet white-grained Corn at the 
earliest possible date should plant Gill’s Early Market. We 
think it is very hard to surpass as a first early sizable white 
Sweet Corn that will return big profits. Many ears measure 7 
to 8 inches long and have 12 to 14 rows of pure white kernels. 
The quality of this Corn is excellent for so early a variety. 
Many very early kinds have had small ears and rather poor 
quality, but Gill’s Early Market has ears as large as some of 
the later varieties. The quality, too, compares favorably with 
that of later sorts. We are certain Market Growers will find 
this a very profitable Corn, as it can be put on the market 
before any other variety, considering size. Pkt,, 10c; y 2 lb., 
20c; lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 55c; 5 lbs., 85c; 10 lbs., $1.60, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 15 lbs., $2.20; 25 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $13.00.
