Seed to be Inoculated 
Spring Rye 
This crop is used to sow with other grains for spring pastures and soil¬ 
ing purposes, as well as for nurse crop. Also used to produce grain. 
Should be seeded early, same as oats. Spring Rye Is not quite as 
plump in the grain as Winter Rye, and does not attain as great a 
height. Sow 1 V 2 bu. per acre. 56 lbs. per bu. Write for price list. 
Japanese Buckwheat 
Is the kind mostly used—large grain—good yielder. A valuable crop for 
soil improvement as well as the production of grain. Will thrive on 
very poor land, in fact, where hardly anything else will grow. Very 
popular in northern sections. It is used to a great extent for bees. 
Yield in grain and straw is very heavy, even on thin soils. Buckwheat 
middling is in demand for fattening hogs, excellent poultry feed. Sow, 
broadcast, from June to July 15, one bushel per acre. 50 lbs. per 
bushel. Write for price list. 
Holmes’ Northern Grown 
Seed Corns 
The progressive farmer is fully aware that it pays in dollars and cents 
to plant seed of known origin only. He knows that good Seed Corn 
is the prime requirement of a good crop. With poor, cheap seed, time, 
labor and fertilizer are wasted and no extra cultivation can make up 
the lack. Our Corns have all been grown especially for seed. They 
have been well cured and are true to name and type. It costs no more 
in labor, time and fertilizer to grow a bumper crop than it does to 
produce a poor one. The difference in price between good and poor seed 
is made up many times over in the increase in the crop harvested. 
HOLMES’ EARLY YELLOW DENT. Has broad, deep grains of a 
beautiful golden yellow color. It produces a crop of the most perfectly 
uniform ears and has averaged 70 bushels of shelled corn per acre. 
Holmes’ Early Yellow Dent matures in 90 to 100 days. The ears are 
10 inches long with 14 rows of long, broad grains. The stalks grow 
from 8 to 10 feet high, giving an immense quantity of fodder. Farmers 
who planted Holmes’ Early Yellow Dent for their main crop last year 
told us they grew one of the finest crops and best quality Corn they 
ever grew. Remember, our Seed Corn is grown from the most care¬ 
fully selected seed stock, of strong, vigorous germination. You will 
not regret it if you plant Holmes’ Early Yellow Dent. Write for Seed 
Corn Price List. 
MEDINA PRIDE. An extra-early maturing variety of Yellow Dent 
Corn, smoothly indented, broad-kernelled, adapted to Northeastern 
Ohio. It has a slender, slightly tapering, fairly long ear. Medina Pride 
has been consistently high in yield tests conducted at the Ohio Ex¬ 
periment Farm, Wooster, Ohio. It matures early and produces satis¬ 
factory yields of sound corn. We grow this variety on our own farm. 
You cannot make a mistake by planting Medina Pride. Write for 
prices. 
WOODBURN’S YELLOW DENT. It is a medium early maturing Corn, 
having a fair-sized ear with 14 to 18 rows. The stalk is rather small. 
The grains are somewhat wide and have a very beautiful deep orange 
color. Woodburn has a good record in yield tests, as it has frequently 
been the high-yielding variety in the ten-acre corn contest in this 
state. One of the features of this sort is its fine shelling percentage, 
resulting in a large yield of shelled corn to the acre. Our Corn is the 
development of the early strain, grown in northern Ohio. Write for 
price list. 
OHIO EARLY CLARAGE- Suits our farmers and is now one of the 
most popular early varieties in Ohio. The stalk is medium in size and 
remarkably resistant to disease. The ears are of medium size with 
deep yellow wide kernels, averaging 16 rows. This variety is recom¬ 
mended by the Farm Crop Department of the Ohio State University 
as being one of the varieties best adapted to all of the soils of the 
state. It is also one of the most satisfactory all-around corns. The cob 
is small, producing an immense amount of shelled corn to the acre on 
account of its unusually deep kernels. It is known for its world’s 
record crops. Mr. Ira Marshall of Hardin County, Ohio, has a record 
yield of 168 bushels per acre on ten acres. Watch the average of Clar- 
age grown in Ohio increase year after year. Our seed is grown ex¬ 
clusively in northern Ohio. Write for Seed Corn Price List.
